wow -- I just downloaded Irina's short and that girls jumps look fantastic!! I don't know if it was just the camera angle, but they were looking enormous --It's hard to tell on the computer sometimes because the speed looks a lot faster then when you see it on tv, but from the online vid., she was looking pretty fast.
That being said, the program overall is not what I'd call a masterpiece. It's exciting, and has a 'powerful' feel to it, especially with the choice of music, but compared to say Sasha's or Rochette's short, I don't think it's overall, the best program we will see this year.
ETA -- and as a side note -- I'm sooooooo not impressed with Mao -- after all the hype I was expecting greatness. Alissa is easily the better overall package. Sure Mao can consistently jump and she's bendy ala' Sasha, but that's about it.
