P.S. Surgery what surgery?? I have no time to browse everything and I'm in the dark...

In many interviews in the last month... one of them: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=50&p=17046#p17046

А еще - прическа. имхо, спереди все хорошо, а вот сзади... неаккуратно как-то, и довольно обыденно. Может быть, будет лучше, если отрастить весь затылок до одинаковой длины. и чтобы не было коротко. будет лучше смотреться. по-моему, когда-то так и было, и это было красиво!


сейчас, наверно, главное - чтобы хорошо прошли операции...сама пережив не одну, знаю, насколько бывает непросто...держитесь!.

Hi, Zhenya!
I'm so glad to hear you are asking for us about some ideas! I hope we fans can be a help for you, the best skater of the world!

I recommend this song for exhibition.
"Where Did You Sleep Last Night" by Nirvana

When I see your programmes, I often feel deep sorrow but also huge passion,especially in exhibitions.
I think this song also has a same emotion, so I'm convinced that this song will suit you.
Especially, I want to see your wonderful step in the last part of this song―the voice and tune become very hard and emotional.

And, most of all, I'd like to see ballet-like programmes something like "Tribute to Vaslav Nijinski" and "Adagio"
They are my most favourite programmes because they are extraordinary beautiful!!
When I saw them for the first time,I was so impressed that I couldn't do anything for a long time!! I could think nothing but your beauty then.It was also the first time I shed tears to see figure skating.
As some fans wrote here, your Nijinski programme is very very popular in Japan. I bet it is also popular in other countries! So, I'd like to see such a beautiful skating again.
I also like to see you skating with Russian classical musics or songs composed by Edvin Marton. I love Edvin's songs very much! His music makes you look much more attractive!

Though I wrote some ideas, I'll must be happy whatever song you perform.
I'm really looking forward to seeing your new programmes!
But please take care for your health. It is the most important thing!

lots of love from milky

Hi again Zhenya!
I wasn't sure if I suggested this earlier, but I was thinking about it and I think you would do a magnificent job of portraying HAMLET. This beloved Prince of Denmark has one of the most compelling and passionate stories in all of literature. As such, he is featured in many classical and film score works:

Tchaikovsky's Hamlet Overture:

Liszt: Hamlet
Part 1

Part 2

Patrick Doyle: Hamlet (1996 film)
My Thoughts Be Blood

Ennio Morricone: Hamlet (1990 film)
Main Title
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdqO-0yLmCk

I think you would be magnificent playing this tragic hero on the ice.

Dear Evgeni Viktorovich

Thanks for your message.
I would like to watch your performance in the music.

The movie "Tim Burton's Corpse Bride"

Sincerely yours.

[AnyaNikolaievna]

Corpse Bride is an excellent choice! I second it!

Zhenya...
I was thinking the other day about a bit more modern/contemporary for your exhibition. I know that you will take it in Sochi. Perhaps something heavy? Queensryche's "Take Hold of the Flame" or Judas Priest's "Rapid Fire"? Godsmack's "I Stand Alone" or Lacuna Coil's "Our Truth". Would make for an interesting mix wouldn't it? Queen always has something dramatic and powerful. There would be a good start. AC/DC is fun, fast, and furious. I love the idea of you performing to AC/DC's "Thunderstruck". You would literally blow everybody else away including the audience.

A TRIBUTE TO ICE
I SAW THE RUSSIAN SKATE final draft
This isn’t over, please don’t ever let this be over

So I watched
Saw the winner of the gold
The graceful man
The swan black
The paper silver
The one who took the podium
The one who gave away the gold
No
I cannot believe that
You cannot make me believe that

In homage to the power of your skate
In pain over the behavior of dick button
His power over the behavior of the judges
You think people of stature cannot influence the behavior of others
My shame at this behavior

Did you watch the graceful man
Did you seriously watch him
What were you watching
I know what I was watching

The winner of the gold
Evgeni Plushenko
You cannot convince me of anything else

I saw the Russian skate
I saw the quads that won the gold
I heard the pronouncement of a peer
Upon his great performance

Thank you Elvis Stojko
I have admired you long
Admired your work
And most respected you and your
Knowledge


Seriously Elvis Stojko said so
He acknowledged that winning was
Advancement
He acknowledged who showed
Forward movement
In quads

In my words
I am repeating what
He said
And in my words winning gold is
Forward movement
Not spinning in place
Not the awkward flapping
The insult to the black crow

A peer acknowledged who should have
Won the gold
Who had forward movement

We watched the Russian skate
We saw the quads that won the gold

Like great moments in history
We watched the Russian skate

My soul sings when I see him leap skyward
The Doubles The Triples The Quads
But most important the Grace
That goes with the song of
Who he is

Am I harsh about
The insult to the black crow
Yes
Honest
Yes
Can you see what a button can buy you
You watched what I watched
You know
Lots of spins
no grace
fake crying

then I watched the Russian skate
swirls of black and silver
the Quads
an explosion of stars in a nebula
spiraling graceful arms
swirling pieces of a program
put together
making a galaxy
beauty

an explosion of the soul
creating life in the leaps and spins
the edge of the black whole
a new world of ice skating
quads

Tea in a glass in a Samovar
Amber Gold the liquid of who he is
Through the black and silver filigree
Golden tears created by an angels dream
The ice that was the saucer
In which he poured his heart

I saw the samovar filled with black coffee
An aroma of beauty
I inhaled the whorls release
The vortex of quads and spins
That have no compare
A vortex of hells black ocean in a whirlpool
The Quads The Doubles The Triples


They deprived the winner of his gold
What did it take one to master the quad
What did it take the other to master the spin

Button your spin cost a master his gold

Elvis was right
One master moved forward
Another person set skating back


What were you watching
I know what I was watching

I saw the Russian skate
The winner of the gold
Evgeni Plushenko

Semantics: Gold Silver Platinum
I know what I was watching
I watched the winner of the gold
I watched the Russian skate


Please forgive me
For I am going to print this and print this and
Then I am going to print this again
Until
I can make you understand


The say the eyes are the windows to the soul
But those widows are a two way street
I have to make you understand that what
Evgeni Plushenko
Made me see was
Human much like me

I am a master of my craft
An artist of the written word
And I love my craft in every way
As he is master and lover of his craft
And a lover and master of the ice
A quad
This is what the black and silver Russian Dragon
Imprinted upon my soul
As I watched the Russian master skate
Through the windows of my soul
That runs through me to
The extension of myself
That is my pen that
Communicates
so look and look again
At what he can write across the paper of his craft
The joy and love he can make you feel
The love he feels
Through his skates

His Doubles His Triples His Quads
His incomparable advancement
His spins his leaps his programs
The pain he experienced to create his forward movement

Show me others who quad

I have to make you understand
Loving him is not all about how pretty he is
It is about his love for his craft
His love for the ice
His mastery of that queen
What he shows us
One kiss at a time

It humbles me that he would reach out
To all of us who love him
Ask us to write a page
Across the ice
Suggestions
Notes
From master musicians
That he could draw up into his soul
And rewrite through his skate
That we would see
As so divine Haase Johnston


Dear Mr. Plushenko

You asked for suggestions for music for your skating and I hate being presumptuous, but I am going to take you at your word. I love the work of an Irish traditional music band called the Chieftains. After the demise of the Dubliners, the Chieftains became the warhorses of traditional Irish music. The group formed in Dublin in 1962, when uilleann pipe player Paddy Moloney gathered a bevy of traditional players...
Their music is pure gold as is your skating. There are three tracks that I feel would go with the ease of ice skating. The Chieftains #1, Down the Old Plank Road and The Long Black Veil. There is not a drop of Irish blood in me but there music wakes a wildness that feeds the freedoms on ice. (personally i think they stole much of their sound from the Gypsys of Roumania, but don't tell them i said that)
This music is conducive to Biellmann spins (I call them (cup the caged robin and Alissa Czieny does the best I have ever seen) I am sure that at times a body is made for certain things and you can’t deny them their actions (like Mr. Plushenko and the Plushenko Quad) and myriad of other spins and jumps the lay back spin and the camel spin, and spirals and all of the jumps you could dream of including the Plushenko quad.

But back to the music most are instrumental
The Chieftains #1 I’ll relate what I feel track by track because in each art as you look at a piece
On the easel (the frame for supporting something) each of us will see it
Differently. As a musician looks, as a poet looks, as an ice artist looks
As we the audience looks at Mr. Plushenko’s art




The Chieftains #1
Track one: Se Fath Mo ? The Lark on the Strand
the blend of no pipes in your graceful movements succulent rich in interest
The ebb and flow of our planets life the wonder the harmony of sounds and
The explosion of worlds melodic vibrant worlds collide and you create
The heart of humanity life and joy sorrow and death the wheeling
Of stars a wedding
The graceful a shop & attend
The stepping of two slow then fast slow then fast
Then a piper’s kiss and hobnail boots
To a tattoo bless you
I love the laughter that has been created by the brightness of our worlds in love


Track two: Connemara Donn / Murphy’s Hornpipe
Cock and sure I am that this dance is to persuade us that laughter is all of
Who we are

Track three: Cailin Na Gruaege Doinne / The Brown Haired Girl
This is a lament a sadness that tokens places gone people missed

Track Four: Comb your hair & curl it / The boys of Ballisodare
Such a song you would feel in your heart: To whom I would play
Laughing all of the way to whom I would call home
Track Five: Musical Priest / The queen of May
Stars twinkle, Elf’s play, pixies laugh, trees twiddle (watch and Aspin)
(All trees twiddle Aspens are just better at it) making shade
Children laugh in the sun
Track Six: Wall of Liscarroll track five and six belong together they say the same things
Track seven: is just too sad
Track Eight: Connemara Stocking / the Lime Stone Rock / Don Breen
Goes with tracks five and six they sing of the simple life
Trundling jigs love life and hard work and the sun and shade
The other Chieftain work that I love (I love all of their work) is

Down the Old Plank Road

Track Six: Molly Bawn
This one is also a very sad lament incredibly stirring and heart rending
Track Seven: Ladies Pantalettes / Belles of Blackville / First House in Connaught
A saucy medley of songs that again let the dance sing the hardness of life and
Our love for it as eyes twinkle, legs and feet dance and fingers leap across the
Strings and pipers make your heart sing.

The Last suggestion that I will toss to the winds of fate
The Long Black Veil

Track Two: The Long Black Veil
A very sad lament
Track Five: Changing Your Demeanor
Raucous and bawdy and fun



I have to make this very clear
I am a fan of ice skating that comes from a family of golf fans
Lord help me
But most important I am not an infatuated groupee
I believe everything I say about Evgeni Plushenko
And at 60 years of age I have earned that right
I have watched more than my share of ice programs over the years
I have turned my pen to ballads for those who embrace the ice
And desperately want to see Mr. Plushenko take back his gold
He will always have it spiritually
Next physically
Thank you again
Nice Roumanian girl makes good in America
I have not forgotten my roots
