I thought I had posted this, but I don't see it anywhere.
The DVR recorded a TV broadcast of "Kaleidoscope" but the program title was "Rock & Rock Figure Skating Championships." Strange. It was a cancer support/fundraising show filmed in Texas around Christmas time.
It was a good show - Kimmie Meissner and Sasha Cohen were great and while I didn't particularly like Johnny Weir's music and choreography, his skating is always something to enjoy. Paul Wylie looked a little stiff, but after seeing him skate a practice, it's amazing how he presents a program. , Kurt Browning was awesome as a presenter and a skater. I particularly liked his "I'm Yours" program, mainly because I like that song and the skater, but the G-rated striptease/Burma Shave-style signage was even more fun. The audience *loved* it from their reaction.
I have to say that Joannie Rochette has never looked better to me as a skater. If this is what she presents when she's not competing, it's no wonder she's so beloved around the world. Fantastic!
I wish Scott Hamilton and Dorothy Hamilton had been able to skate, but hosting was a big job, too.
David Archuleta, Gloria Gaynor and a a sax player (whose name escapes me right now) were the musical performers. Camera work was just okay; too many long shots where you couldn't see either the skater or the musician. *shrugs*
I was impressed by the fact that Archuletta came out wearing skates at the end and could hold his own! There's another candidate for Skating With The Stars!
