Rachmaninoff is IMO her best. Watching her do that at the 98' nationals brought tears to my eyes.

Probably the best short program Ive ever seen!! ;)

[GMAN]

I picked Rach too.Kwanluv-Did you change your name?

[dpierce]

Since I had to pic other i just thought i would express it.....FATE OF CARMEN....one of my fav. all time!!!
Dustin

[MichelleKwanFanForever]

I'm pretty sure most people are going to vote for Rachmaninoff because that was her Olympic Short Program and i'm pretty sure it's mostly everyone favorite!

[kwanluv]

No G MAN...that's just me at work ;)

Kwanluv - on my home computer
Kwanluv at work - at my work computer

So I can always drop by when I have a moment!!! :)

After all...I'm the Forum Freak!!! :eek

[michaeljosh]

as peggy flemming once said, rachmaninoff will be remembered as michelle's signature piece... it was such a wonderful blend of coreography, music and technical difficulty. I especially appreciate her 98' nationals performance. I think rach was so appealing because of how the music climaxed toward the end and then ended with one sudden stop.

anyway i can go on and on... but would just like to ask why no one likes a day in the life. it was kinda good...

[barang]

rac is the best as peggy's comment explained it all but i also love romanza, dod, aditl and on and on and on.i don't think there's one that i don't like.

[Rene]

I'm sure people liked ADITL but it's just not the fave. I picked Romanza but really I can't choose between that and Rach. Maybe Michelle should always choose a red costume and music that starts with "R" for her short programs.

[lavender]

But I chose rach because it was soo complete it could have been a long program. Basically I agree with michaeljosh. I believe that Rach is michelle's signature piece but I'm more than ready for another masterpiece. IMHO I think rach is the best short ever

[justsk8]

I chose Rach, but really, I like them all! Dang Michelle, why do you always come out with such great programs? You've gotta stop it! ;)

[CaraMora]

I choose a day in the life because I love the beatles and that's how michelle got her name and I share a b-day with and how weird is it that ringo the drummer of the beatles shares a b-day with us.

[scheherazade]

Rach, definitely. Like it's been said, it's so moving, you forget you're watching a short program! It was just perfect.

[NicoleMarie]

Well Rach is definetly my favorite but Romanza is SUCH a close second. in fact, I don't think MIchelle has EVER had a short that I DIDNT like but Rach was just beatiful beyond words

[Icie]

Rach rules. I think it is one of the greatest sp's of all time.

[SkateFan007]

Definitely Rach... that's probably my most watched MK program. I absolutely love the music, and the choreography is perfect. I don't think any short program can top the magic of Rachmaninoff.

[Joshua]

I still trip about how perfect the music, editing, and choreography is.

[Aaron W]

I just can't decide. I absolutely love Rach, Romanza, and Dream of Desdemona. I loved them all. I haven't voted yet because I can't seem to pick my favorite out of these three. It seems like for most skaters I can pick a favorite program, but with Michelle I can't. She has too many good ones. :) Hmmmm, decision time. I guess I'll go with Romanza, then Dream of Desdemona, then Rach. However, in my mind they all remain even.

[IzzyS]

I picked Rach because it was just such a great comeback for her, and what a program!!! But when you list all of the programs like that, it really shows the breadth and depth of all of Michelle's work. No two are alike, not even close. Amazing! Most skaters would be fortunate to have one or two programs of this magnitude. But I agree with dpierce that "Fate of Carmen" was magnificent, too, and I absolutely love ADITL. Too many to pick just one as the favorite, I guess.

[Beth2000]

Actually I just picked ADITL. At first I didn't care for it but then later on I fell in love with it. To me in that program she just let herself go and I loved it.

[cienicsk8]

Most definitely Rachmaninoff. In fact I just watched it the other day.

[amethyst]

Romanza was just beautiful...

[TaraFanatic4eva]

I love Rachmaninoff

[Artec262]

My favorite is Rachmaninoff.

[Sandy]

ROMANZA AND RACHMANINOFF!!

SANDY

[amandadupre]

It's a hard decision, but I'd have to say that Rach is #1.

[Victoriacai]

I picked Rach too!:)

[mk4ever]

I voted Romaza. It's so perfect and beautiful. she looks stuning in her costume too.:D she's so gorgous i think all of her shorts are great. there is just one for me!:)

[Hadas]

Definatley Rach! If i ever saw a perfectly choreographed program, that would be that :) Although i do love all of them!

[camille2001]

i pick.........Romanza, cause it's so.... pretty.

[michellesmom]

I picked "other". My favorite is "Winter".

[michellesmom]

Oops, I just realized this was for short program, not exhibition. Duh.

[peglewis]

And oldie but goodie poll question...

I thought it was Rachmaninoff until I was looking back at the Best of MK tapes, and now I think it's Dream of Desdemona, even though it wasn't as good-luck a program as Rach was.

Peg

[CheekyMo]

I love the music for Rachmaninoff and I love all the interesting arm movements and the footwork sequence just made her look light and free.

[TAF2984]

I would give it to Rach as a short but all her programs are beautiful.

[StephanieT23]

I picked Rach, because it's just beautiful. It has a lot of power and emotion, which I really like. The music is really suiting and perfect for Michelle's skating!

[MaskedBaboon]

I picked other as in EOE! but i think rach is a close second!!!

[Fumbilicious]

Oh geez!! I couldn't begin to pick a favorite! I love them all!!! :)
