The physicality, the artistry, the comedic touches--absolute perfection! I do so wish he could have won his Olympic gold because he was one of the best ever.
Watching this after seeing his final Stars on Ice tour. There has never been ANYONE who combines expert, flawless skating, jumps, spectacular and innovative step work, and incredible performing versatility the way Kurt has for the last 35 years. I know he won't tour anymore, but I hope he mentors a new generation to combine performance with technical wizardry.
Kurt is a breath of fresh air, good medicine to the soul, he is kind caring, sweet, thoughtful, considerate, innovative, creative is willing to try new things, he puts everything out there, doesn't hold back. He's gutsy wonderful, and just awesome
I love his program so much! There's nobody else in the world that can skate a program like this! It was funny all the way to the end! He definitely deserved the marks that he got. Perfect 10s all the way across! Great job!
I think he's better here than when he was an amateur. And I thought he was the best (maybe not every skate was the best) then! Actually I think he thinks he's better now, too. Something to do with taking Physio and recovery seriously so the injuries that plagued him then have been overcome, for the most part.
The shriek during the camel spin might, or might not have, gotten the biggest laugh of the whole programme. And I was laughing the whole way through. 😂
yeah he didn't do those things in the 2002 version. and it's just those two little things to tweak his routine that make this the best version ever. crack up laughing when he starts shrieking 😅
Exquisite! Perfect musicality, outstanding interpretation - 100% of the time in the character - extremely creative, exploring original moves, and great skating skills.
Kurt Browning was one of the best. Saw that performance in 1976 on television. He makes it look so easy but it is extremely difficult. Kind of like watching men in tights en pointe.
Um... Was that a typo? Was there another skater who skated to this music in 1976? If so, it would be interesting to compare the two programmes. In 1976 Kurt was 10. And none of the other 3 team skaters were skating (if they were even born). But you're absolutely right, Kurt does make it look SO easy. His comedic timing is so good. I remember when he was talking about retiring from amateur competition there were people who said that he could easily go into acting. I think he could have if he'd wanted to.
Dear sjwpg, Thank you so much for posting this. Kurt Browning is an absolute pleasure giving genius!!!! I love the scream at the end!! Fun to watch the changes he makes to routines. I love this incredible athlete, artist, joy bringer.
I concur with every word you say! So glad you enjoyed it. I've made a playlist of all the Raggy performances on CZcams, and will be uploading clearer versions of a few of them in the coming weeks. =)
Right? Everyone talks about how talented he is, but it wouldn't mean anything without an insane amount of hard work. It's no wonder people overlook that, because you're right, he makes it look so easy.
when I get a baby boy or girl, and (s)he's sick, I'll ask them "do you wanna watch the clown again, sweetie ? he'll make you feel ALLLL better" and we'll watch this together until they're all grown up. 😇🤕👼🤒👶🤡
Wondnderful & brave, so brave but not quite a 10. He did miss perfection on one jump as great a jump as it was. Nithing like him. This was the golden age!

Yes, there are many clowns in the world. Too many of them are not funny. Clowns on skates are, on average, much better, I think, and Kurt is the Best! An Original!
Kurt makes it look fun, he has style, technique, and physical, but Scott Hamilton will always be my favorite. Edit: Is there a Figure skaters anonymous? I'm afraid I may have an addiction.

Right! Best skater to not have that Olympic gold.

Scott Hamilton would be the other skater who is just as awesome.
There is no one like him! His choreography is so hard, and incredibly athletic! He is so entertaining and skillful and I just love watching him skate!

Bruh just landed himself in the judge pit like how ballsy
talk normal

There is only one Kurt Browning
This number will always be iconic next to singing in the rain
Kurt Browning. One in a million. God bless you Kurt.
Charlie Chaplin on ice skates ! Love it !
Peter Barna also put Charlie Chaplin on ice.
Who doesn't love Kurt? He is amazing!
Best skater EVER!!
His VERY BEST artistic performance EVER. No one does it like him. Thanks Kurt .
God, I love Kurt. This program is Genius.
Watching this, I remember what ice skating used to be. And how much I loved it. And now, how much I miss it.
I love his program so much! There's nobody else in the world that can skate a program like this! It was funny all the way to the end! He definitely deserved the marks that he got. Perfect 10s all the way across! Great job!
Not only funny but extremely difficult. His jumps come out of crazy little steps and turns
I think he's better here than when he was an amateur. And I thought he was the best (maybe not every skate was the best) then!
Actually I think he thinks he's better now, too. Something to do with taking Physio and recovery seriously so the injuries that plagued him then have been overcome, for the most part.
Magnificent skater, hilarious performance, crashing into judges area was stupendous! Bravo Kurt Browning ,Perfect all 10s. Thank you for posting this.
This is the best version because of the shrieks when he spins, and the "sorry". He needs to have a mic when he skates this.
The shriek during the camel spin might, or might not have, gotten the biggest laugh of the whole programme. And I was laughing the whole way through. 😂
yeah he didn't do those things in the 2002 version. and it's just those two little things to tweak his routine that make this the best version ever. crack up laughing when he starts shrieking 😅
He’s so awesome to watch! A first class skater!! Love this!
He has been one of my favorite skater's
Amazing masterpiece performance ❤👏👏
Kurt, very innovative, funny, creative and talented
Well done.
And the timing. Such good comedic timing.
@@stephanieellis5399 yup. I really wish I could get a Kurt hug from him to talk, to laugh, to have some fun. That would be my #,1 top Christmas wish.
Exquisite! Perfect musicality, outstanding interpretation - 100% of the time in the character - extremely creative, exploring original moves, and great skating skills.
How are you doing today my name is Eric Moore

I friggin love Kurt! Always wished he was team USA.
Kurt is amazing
Simply perfection!
Отличный фигурист!!! Люблю ❤😘
Genius level skating! Unparalleled edges & footwork. Fabulous entertainer.
The amazing spontaneity of the choreography. So creative. Elite skating today is just jumping competitions .
One of the best
I vividly remember this routine as a kid. I was in grade school, I always thought skating was boring until I saw this man. Simpler times.
I have watched this so many times and it still makes me smile every time I watch it.
This is what it would look like if Charlie Chaplin could skate.
or Buster Keaton
My absolute favorite program. Creative, funny. Unique, and just choreographed so beautifully. Phenomenal job kurt.
One of my favorite programs
Scott's a great skater and has a good sense of humor!🥳

Nobody but nobody like Kurt ! !
Kurt I just want to hug you, to sit on a board to talk to laugh, to pull pranks with you and just have fun with you. Hugs
This program is so extraordinary, even a professional cameraman can't keep up 5:13
Perfection!❤
it seems so effortless for him.
Right? Everyone talks about how talented he is, but it wouldn't mean anything without an insane amount of hard work. It's no wonder people overlook that, because you're right, he makes it look so easy.
Like the announcer said: Incomparable, Incredible!

🍓
The ending was hilarious
The Entertainer…..👍💝
sei il meglio!!! ti adoroooooooooooooo!!!
The only routine that beats Scott Hamilton's "Walk This Way."
Wondnderful & brave, so brave but not quite a 10. He did miss perfection on one jump as great a jump as it was. Nithing like him. This was the golden age!
Oh, Kurt. You goof 🤣 also, are we not going to address how he just literally leapt onto the judges?

Back when you could actually do something like this for your full program and still hit the technical marks you needed to win...
Yes, there are many clowns in the world. Too many of them are not funny. Clowns on skates are, on average, much better, I think, and Kurt is the Best! An Original!
Him and Scott Hamilton, the clowns of figure skating
thats beautiful lol, reminder that Jesus loves yall n its not too late to come to Him
Only one other person can do this kind of thing. Have you forgotten Scot Hamilton?
Comical !!!!
Kurt makes it look fun, he has style, technique, and physical, but Scott Hamilton will always be my favorite.
Edit: Is there a Figure skaters anonymous? I'm afraid I may have an addiction.
Is there anything he can’t do on skates?
Le jook
they don't skate like this any more
Nope he's trying to be like Scott Hamilton. And only Scott can pull this stuff off
