first of all thanks Dieter for beautiful photos. I would watch them over and over again because I have own experience/memory to them and it gives them another dimension.
Today Emily's mom posted another mass of photos from Art on Ice with so many Emily's photos and her smiles of course. I decided to post here one.
OK one more. As I said other day Emily can wear any hat and she is always cute.
O.k. I promised to post a few more photos here. And I'll give a little bit report of the weekend: Peter and me had planned to attend two shows. We had already met at the hotel on Friday evening. The hotel internet was too expensive, so Saturday morning was busy with finding some Internet caffee and some breakfast. We found both, but soon had to leave for the hall. The first show started at 2pm, and for that one we had seats in the most upper row, so we did not expect a great view.
Well, we were a bit close to stage, having only a side way view, but that was great place to have a good sight at Emily .
The show started and we were not prepared or ready when all of a sudden Emily was there, her fingers flying over the piano while she was playing the "Bumble Boogie". But well, as quick as she was there she was gone again.
But we had not to wait for long, and Emily was there again, now playing a bit Jazz, "Summertime", and "Mess Around", to a beautiful scater performance, and Mess Around together with a Jazz band.
Now she got introduced with photos and a few little stories, before she continued with playing he first own composition of the evening, "Diversity", to a wonderful scating performance by Aljona Savchenko & Robin Szolkowy.
The two photos are of Summertime and Mess Around, but you can find videos of the first and all other her appearances on youtube already.
Well, that wasn't all, only my time is a bit limited and I have to come back to it later
The song "Summertime" was written in 1935 by George Gershwin. it is a old classic and has been performed by many artists, one of my favorites was Louis Armstrong...until now..
if you still don't have enough photos from these shows you should check this gallery if you didn't discover it so far. I like these two photos. From my seats I didn't see that projection screen well. And little skating Emily is so cute. :-)
when I saw this photo some memories came to my mind:
This was taken after last show in Zurich (Sunday night). I was standing very close to them on the left. I almost could join them ;D - no, of course guard wouldn't allow me that. However, I was so close.
And I also found this photo. And I had to post it here. I am not going to say why. Just I had to.
I am here again after long time ;D and this time I have for you other two videos I mixed only for you. Magical "My body is a cage" and "Tutti Cuore". I hope you will like them.
I promised to continue my report. So, today I have a bit spare time and will try to finish it. First of all, now we have the videos of Peter, and I will add them again, so you get the context. Here are "Summertime"/"Mess Around" and "Diversity", the second and third Emily performance:
after this performance Emily had a little break, but the show went on, and what a show. I would like to add everything here, the skaters spinning so fast that they get blurry and I got dizzy, the ice-breakdance, the songs, the light show, everything was just amazing. From time to time I looked at the back stage area, which was visible from my place, and I could see how much fun the performers had themselves. If you look at the videos on youtube you will see that, and although it was all choreographed, nothing was faked.
Not so long after the lights went off, and a deep grumbling voice introduced the next piece, "My Body is a Cage", Emily playing to the voice of Rhonda Dorsey and to the impressive expression skate dance of Stéphane Lambiel:
no doubt this performance was one of the highlights of this evening.
Again there were other performances, wonderful singers, wonderful skatings, and always this amazing light show, but then Emily re-appeared for her final act: Tutti Cuore.
of course again the show continued after that. To only list the highlights would be too much, so I will only add one thing, the "act of the evening", when Mick Hucknall, the lead singer of "Simply Red" stepped on stage and performed a few of the world famous songs of Simply Red to skaters. Mick also lead into the final of the show, and how amazing,
if you looked closely you could not only make out Emily gliding on the ice, but also her sister Lauren.
Well, before the Sunday show we had shortly met with Andrea and Brian already, but now after the show was signing time, and Peter could celebrate re-union with Emily, while I was first time introduced to our little angel. It was a wonderful finish of this weekend, to have a chat with Andrea, Lauren and Emily and to give Emily a little present. I had not realized that Lauren would also be there, and I want to apologize to her that I had not thought of her. I will correct my mistake when I get a next chance
Well, all in all this was a wonderful weekend. I also must tell you how very nice all people in Zurich were, as wherever we went it seemed like we made friends in no time, may it be at the hotel, at the dinner restaurant, at the internet caffee or at the bakery. It seems Zurich does only know nice and friendly people.
So that's it for now, maybe I'll add a few more photos if you are not already completely fed up with the show ...
as nobody said here that he/she dislikes my videos from Zurich I prepared for you last two videos. These videos are first and last performance Emily appeared in.
eulenspiegel2: most things have some delay because of the custom service...and very likely Emily and Abigail did not pay for speed shifting/transport...

Ursula: Unfortunately I can't read the German forum. Sigh. Too bad they haven't said anything. You'd think their lawyers would come out with a statement at the least. And they keep posting on social media like everything is normal.
Sept 7, 2022 23:14:39 GMT -6
Ursula: Also why is that other forum in German. Why not English?
Sept 7, 2022 23:15:55 GMT -6
eulenspiegel2: it is a German forum...about German pop singer... you may be surprised...but the USA is not the center of the world - it is like US people coming to Europe wondering why not signs in English ..

ursus: Ursula, Google Translate works very well if you translate from German into English and you just need to understand the meaning of what was written. It does still require an understanding of German if you want to use it to post in that language.

ursus: IIRC B&B's lawyers have until 9/23 to respond to the lawsuit. It would not make sense for them to make a public statement before that. B&B themselves have undoubtedly been instructed not to say anything either. That makes sense to me.

mastersgttom: For the benefit of all the members and the guests who visit this site be advised that there is a You Tube video out there of Barlow and Bear doing a live stream. The video was posted by Epic Wonderland. Where she got it I have no clue.
Mar 8, 2024 12:53:33 GMT -6
mastersgttom: The video of the live stream cannot be found on any of their social media platforms. At least from any of my feeble attempts. The video is a bit hard to watch because the audio is totally out of sync with the video.

mastersgttom: What I got out of the video was that it had nothing to do with Moana. They were very mum about their work on that movie. Bling Ring came up in some of the comments. A bit odd that they have a live stream out there, writing music, and not making it public.

mastersgttom: Wow! I just noticed that it has been a little over a year since anyone has posted anything in this Shoutbox. Eluenspiegel was the last one. I messaged him this discovery a week ago but haven't heard back. He used to be the most active member here.
