| 1999 Champions on Ice Summer Tour | | Location: | Compaq Center, Houston, TX | | Date: | Friday, May 21, 1999 | | Cast: | Todd Eldredge, Michelle Kwan, Oksana Bauil, Viktor Petrenko, Michael Weiss, Nicole Bobek Rudy Galindo, Punsalan & Swallow, and many more. | | Report by: | Virginia B. | Before Todd did his opening thing to One Week, he was in the dark doing this little car driving motion. Cute :)
Todd also seemed to be looking at his skate after the opening. I think he did some small adjustment when he got off the ice.
France Hotels Todd did Pity the Child. I like the vocal OK and I like the melody of the song. Perhaps it is the instrumental stuff accompanying it that makes the song a little annoying to some. Parts of the instrumental were grating. That aside, Todd performed the number very well and was into it. He did a wonderful 3 loop and 3 toe but doubled the Axel and the Lutz. I did not take any other notes. Todd's my fave male skater so I spent some time just admiring (him and his skating)<g>.
Additions: During the number, I was treated to Todd coming close to where I sat several times. Needless to say I was pleased! He had his back to me... twice! Admiration time<g>. I am actually starting to get concerned about the 3 axel. I don't recall reading a report of a landed 3 axel in recent reviews. I sure hope he is not injured or anything. Todd got one of the best reactions of the night. The audience really gave him good responses when he was announced. | |
