While Virtue and Moir embody elegance and sophistication, Davis and White represent immense power and athletic ability
You know that quote from Black Swan? "Perfection is not just about control. It's also about letting go". I've always found it a perfect summary of why I preferred Davis/White. Virtue and Moir were perfect, but for me they lacked this "letting go" factor.
No real reason to compare. I get you’re just stating what you see but they’re doing what works for them and the ability to “let go” doesn’t determine better quality skating. I know you didn’t explicitly say it’s better but it is definitely an undertone of what you’re trying to say, if it’s not then that’s fine, it is what it is either way
Kind of funny you say that because I believe vm also embodied immense power and athletic ability. They had it all.
@@cami4563 Yes...VM have better free leg extensions....which give a classy elegance to their skating . Charlie and her are a little sloppy on that.
Dipende dai programmi, Davis e White sono molto eleganti in alcuni liberi come il Notre Dame de Paris mentre Virtue e Moir sono più che altro atletici In certi loro programmi
Phantom of the Opera is just a beautiful piece of music to perform to all together. I immediately got chills when the music started playing, plus watching Meryl and Charlie skate to it makes it even more stunning. 😍💗
Lol, I totally got chills right off the bat too
I get chills every single time too! And coupled with their dancing was mind blowing 🤯
I agree. The entire play/movie is so emotional. Some of the best music and compositions. This was perfect.
It does give you chills every time. You can remember the play, the story and feel the emotions, just GREAT.
The best ice dancing duo to ever skate for the USA bar none.
I thought no one would ever top that British Duo of Bolero fame but M & C surpassed them.
Exactly...and their back story is so very touching...can't help myself tearing...
@@sushiray80 what's their backstory?
@@hannahvasby-burnie2477 he doesn't know
@@kangad4711 Yes he does that’s why he said it…
The "Let your soul take you where you want to beeeee" move must be one of the mot difficult I've ever seen in ice dance, and I've seen a lot!
Davis and White even retiring early after Sochi in 2014, were ISU #1 ranked ice dance team 2010-2014. Virtue and Moir weren't #1 until after Davis and White left competitive skating then returned to college to finish new careers. That didn't happen until 2017 for V and M. Also D and W beat V and M in free dance nearly 90% of time during time they competed against each other.
@@johnnyd4ev What are you trying to say?
From 2011 till 2013 Tessa was injured.
And World standings don‘t really say anything about who is the best
what time is that at??
@@johnnyd4ev But Virtue and Moir beat Davis and White in 2010? So they were #1 at that point. Although, Davis and White did beat them in 2014 so there's that.
They're both fantastic tho. I couldn't even imagine being as good as either team.
@@macbiegs9520 2:54
I love how her dress is reminiscent of 2004 Christine's dress in Point of No Return scene
Yes
No its not
Yes it is.
@@frankieb43 no
Yes it is. Just LOVE her dress.
I'M IN AWE I DIDN'T KNOW PEOPLE COULD SKATE TO THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA SJDHSHDGSYDG
I WAS HERE 2 WEEKS AGO AKHDJAHSAHDJS
It’s one of the most popular skating songs. You’ll hear it at least 5 different times at a competition.
@@sojieinsinger8738 oh wow...still amazing tho
Boitano and Cousins did awesome routines to music of the night.
Charlie is so fast and frantic in his skating. A perfect foil to the fast and graceful Meryl. They are brilliant.
When it comes to ice dance, this is easily one of the best programs ever! Phantom of the Opera is one of the best soundtracks ever and it’s always so interesting to see skaters do their own interpretation of it. Meryl Davis and Charlie White’s will go down in history
The only duo where the guy was as much fun to watch as the girl. Extraordinary.
I feel the same way, Meryl is beautiful , but I could not take my eyes off Charile the whole time he was on fire! He as the phantom, never saw him skate with so much passion love him .
Extraordinary!
usually im stuck on the woman but he draws all the attention
I’m American, and I got to see this live as a graduation present from my sister. I was rooting for them so hard, but I also love Tessa and Scott and totally think they deserved to win. It was such a pleasure to be able to watch this historic competition and it will forever be one of my fondest memories in life ever. ❤️
Tessa and Scott did NOT deserve to win.
@@loverofcalifornia3619 no one did not deserve it.Both them skated well.Whoever won deserved it.
So lucky! I live too far away from any major-enough cities to have the pleasure of seeing any nationals or olympic event. Watching it on the tv is one thing, but seeing it live!? Wow!!
It is unhealthy how many times I’ve watched this!
Excellent
It's a magnificent performance. However when it comes to tangible love in a performance and emotion, goodeva and late hubby Sergei top the list, and Vanessa james and morgan cipres. Torvill and Dean. Those couples had chemistry that I have not seen others match
It’s captivating for sure. Charlie is like Prince Charming saving his damsel in distress.
I can't even count how many times I've watched this
Watching his hair fly around is like an integral part to all of their routines. It really adds something to their whole dynamic & the passion of their dancing.
This was their best performance I've watched it so many times
*THIS PERFORMANCE SCREAMS MAGNIFICENCE AND PERFECTION! THE POWER THESE TWO HOLDS WHEN PERFORMING IS MINDBLOWING. I'm so speechless specially on **2:58*
Thank you for finding this exact time marker. I was not sure I really saw what I saw 😳😁
Are there goosebumps because it's cold in the arena or because the Phantom of the Opera, in general, is just amazing? But yes, their skating gave me chills lol.
Oh my gawd! That performance was out of control. Just unbelievably powerful. The speed I mean I don't know what else to say. Its magic and perfection.
i so love this. it really looks like they are being whirled around together in the throes of passion
Ooh how apt!
It's the soundtrack (as well as their amazing acting of course). The phantom of the opera gives me chills every time
The way they move together with such ease and technique is amazing. Those transitions were so smooth
I can't stop watching it. SUCH A GREAT CHOREOGRAPHY and TALENT and they even express the EMOTIONS that go with it. Never seen better.
i adore this song and i honestly don’t think anyone could have skated to it so well! It’s almost like the song was made for them ❤❤
This routine was perfect for the two of them. It allowed for Charlie's energy, attack, musicality. Meryl, as always, skates her part with delicacy and perfection. I thought they were robbed. I remember how classy they were in receiving the silver - not so with Virtue and Moir when Davis and White took gold four years later. I think the world of both Meryl and Charlie - they were, and always will be excellent ambassadors in the skating world.
Exactly 👏👏👏
Remember the scores are in the hands of 7 judges. For whatever reasons the routine that Tessa/Scott performed resonated more with the judges. And they have the benefit of instant replay. The only difference I can possibly point to is that Tessa/Scott's feet were almost ALWAYS in perfect unison. I also feel that after the second twizzle when they dropped to one knee and glided toward the judges with head bowed-it stole the show. That's when that performance stole my heart. Both teams were amazing.
@@mariezurie2172 Let's not forget home ice advantage is a real thing, and Skate Canada did some heavy campaigning for V&M. Prior to that Olympic season, V&M had only won two gold medals in three years with only ONE of them being a GP event. In my book, there is no way V&M out-skated D&W at those Olympics, especially in the FD. The speed alone at which they skated should have earned them the gold. At that speed, every single element becomes exponentially more difficult.
This is beyond words...
I'm too moved ..
Precision, grace,...a pairing and performance like no other...
They took the figure skating performance and the song ‘Phantom of the Opera’ itself to a whole new level. LOVE IT!!!!!!
They are such a powerful pair, they keep you at the edge of your seat with their incredibly difficult routine!
These two just have amazing song choice in general
I think they are the best ever….watch them over and over….so lovely
the amount of chemistry in this
I remember watching them live during this olympics and was wowed.
Today's singles skaters could take a cue from these fabulous ice dancers. From choreography to, music choice, to interpretation, to following tempo, and follow-through on a movement. Artistry seems only to exist in dance.
WOW!! That is my favourite routine. Charlie & Meryl's spins are so fast!
These guys are amazing. I get goosebumps watching every performance if theirs
No other skating couple performs with such energy, elegance, they are never still.
There many years of skating together certainly paid off, what a performance
This is really beautiful and magnificent. You can't help but get lost in their dance.. Really lovely.
Beautiful. I loved how impeccable the dancing was. So close together
Wow, that guy is so strong!
And she’s REALLY TINY
@@gladysread3054 But Charlie is not a big guy.
He also has asthma and that is one of the reasons he is so out of breath at the end. She has visual issues and that is why you see her holding Charlie's hand so tightly.
Omg I had no idea! @@rhondaparsley2859
My favorite ice dancers. They were so amazing together. Mesmerizing.❤❤❤
I get goosebumps because the music is so beautiful, and there dance is also
2010 was so their year. This is so... spectacular
This is absolutely incredible! They have always been my favorite figure skating duo. How have I never seen this before?!
I’m not even joking, this actually made me cry. And it was not pretty crying 😂
Give them the Oscar along with a gold medal
These two have the best chemistry ever!
This is,",poetry in motion"!!! Just beautiful both technically and artistically. The music works here. They won gold and made the US proud!!!
I’ve never seen such strength in both skaters.....they are a powerhouse. They are mesmerizing.
Meryl Davis and Charlie White are mesmerizing in "Phantom OF The Opera"! They are so in Total Perfection with their speed, togetherness, Creative Moves that seem Effortless. They successful landed moves that I had never seen before.
Charlie White Coached Vanessa James, and Morgan Cipres. GREATNESS PLUS GREATEST EQUALS "GREATNESS"!!!
DEBRA
he's so expressive and does a great job of always looking at her
...I absolutely could not take my eyes off them...they were so attuned to each other in every aspect of their performance.
they're both so beautiful my heart cannot cope
Amazing team work!!! They complimented each other. And the music selected was very appropriate!
Totally awesome performance!!!
I miss them, they had incredible chemistry together ❤️
They are Totally Awesome. Their Speed, Exquisite, Style and Grace makes me Spellbound to watch them. Charlie White had coached Vanessa James, & Morgan Cipres. GREATNESS, PLUS GREATEST, EQUALS GREATNESS!
⛸️⛸️,
Debra
I felt like I needed to add a current WOW!!! Indeed they deserve the recognition they've received!! YES!!!
All time FAVORITE team. So beautiful to watch them. Win or not my best to watch do what they do. Amazing. 🎶❤️
この、ドラマチックな曲を氷上で舞うお二人に、さらに感動で私は震えてます❗️これほど悲しみと激情と美しさを表現された指の先、セクシーな足、顔の表現を私は他に知らない。
They not only blended cultures but ❤ tooo❤❤❤❤❤
They do wonderfully in this program, but it's to their credit that I see how they've improved in later years. They are an excellent couple.
AND WOW, THAT'S THE OLYMPICS 2010? HOW I LOVE IT!
WOW! Absolutely stunning performance. Her balance and his balance was spectacular! Well done.
Boy do I miss seeing them perform.
Meryl Davies y Charlie white ❤️🥰, lo mejor de lo mejor!!!!
This was actually a great mix, I’m hoping they won something :)
Well they actually won silver medal)
Who won gold?
@@citlalirodsan630 virtue/moir
@@citlalirodsan630 virtue/moir, yeah! They are amazing and Olympic channel has some videos with them! Freeskate program Roxanne from Olympiade 2018 in Korea is breathtaking and my all time favorite!
They won gold on 2014 Sochi Olympic
Breathtaking, beautiful partnership, always with the music🎼☺️ TALENT!!!
Incredible the whole way through, all of it!
They were so intune to each other. Flawless performance❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
There are many moments that I just have to stop and rewatch ‘how on earth did they do that?’
Now this is a breathtaking performance!
One can only say PERFECTION on all fronts.. If this was not the winning medal as to all the included elements , what is ? Absolutely an amazing performance !
Go and check the gold medal performance of that evening :)
Devis and White were great but Virtue and Moir were on a league on their own. The best free dance ever, in my opinion.
@@claudiaf.7811 Thanks Claudia , I'm more involved with speed skating .. But can see the tallent here .I know some gold medalists in figue skating as well as all other disaplines ..In my opinion , this was a perfect kuur .. Others may differ .I could not see any faults being made . But I am not on the pannel of juges , but if I was I would have given them top marks . Thanks for the reply.
@@Swim136 I was a professional skater .. Not figure but speed ..but can recognize tallent when |I see it
They have to be the greatest ice dance skaters for the USA. Brilliant!
This was so intense I loved it
YES OMG This is my favourite one of them!!!!!! this channel just keeps blessing my heart!!
This gaved me chills instantly
I don't know anything about phantom of the opera but man this is an amazing performance
There is a movie version of the play, but if you ever have the chance to see a live performance, go! I fell in love with the music before I ever saw the musical performed on stage (national tour version). Track down the soundtrack.
1:25 i didnt even realize i creased my brows too 'til i felt my forehead felt tired it deeply affected me unconsciously WOW
I have never seen such a performance since Torvill/Dean. Absolutely, unfanthomably great!
They are super quick with their movements it's rather athletic.
I can't believe..bollywood music plus at Olympic by contestant 😮❤❤❤❤amazing performance 😊😊😊
This is a fantastic work of art! Brilliant!
Un programma meraviglioso che mette in luce tutte le loro doti : velocità, tecnica, energia, interpretazione, eleganza e cura dei particolari.
This has always been a favorite of mine!
Ευχαριστώ τον Θεό, Δία, για αυτό το χαρμόσυνο γεγονός της Δόξας και της Τιμής.
This is my favorite dance ever
Story is just creepy af BUT Davis and White pulled it off so well and it's probably because I already know the storyline like the back of my hand but I actually could follow the story they were trying to tell! And I just *love* her dress! 100% Point of No Return-esc!
what a stunning performance and music gave me chills. wow
Gosh I miss seeing them compete on the ice!
This is absolutely brilliant!!
Charlie and Meryl a powerful couple, they are legendary. There's is just pure brilliance
I miss them competing so much.
For me they were winners there!
They are SO freakin good! These moves must be illegal :) I mean Unbelievably impossibly Outstanding!!! 💃💖💕🌠😎⚡
They are beautiful together
I've never seen anything like this. Andrew Lloyd Webber would be proud. USA!
As a Brit I can never unsee Torvil and Dean whenever I watch ANY Ice dancing, These guys are very good though
Both of them were on Dancing with the Stars (how is that even fair - they come in with such great skills)
from Bollywood to now this...I so love phantom of the opera...and this couple, need I say more about how they are lovely and beautiful at the same time too...love their outfits too
Very dramatic fast paced performance! Over the top! Such a powerful performance! So unreal!
I LOVED this program so much! like more than their gold medal program in 2014 (TBH I can't even remember what music they used) this program will always be one of my favorite free dances.
I feel the same, I thought I was the only one that loves this performance more than the one which one them the gold in 2014. not that I don't enjoy watching everything they do, but this one is the tops of the cake. their very very very best. I never get tired of looking at it.
She is3the best. 🚶♂️ 🎠. Merrill and Charlie. Love you guys.
Okay, so Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir are my favorite team, but man--these two can MOVE
I got literal chills at 3:00...
