Alysa Liu.....the 13-year old new face of ladies, skating.......

America's 'hope'....a 13-year old! And....such superior skating/choreography than the clunky Tonya Harding......Does the U.S. have a chance to defeat the adolescent army of Russian 'Girl Skaters'? I was impressed by Alysa's choice of music, having gotten totally over all the disjointed hodgepodge of pop vocals that so many young skaters 'emote' to......Personally, I wish that pop vocal music collages would just be eliminated, leaving the skaters to 'dance' to instrumental ....even humming, drumming, droning sounds.... rather than the constant barrage of unrelated trite pop songs, with very little if any, other than rhythmic or 'on the beat' jumping relevance to the choreography....
