Tara knows nothing. Mao is a legend. She's the rare type of performer who keeps evolving. She doesn't conform, she's always trying something new, always working hard. Not connecting to the audience? Watch her Sochi FS, it's raw emotion.
SquishyTeli that programme should have broken the world record. The best free skate I have seen (together with Yuna's les mis at 2013 Worlds) - I love Mao and all her imperfections. :)
Ugh RIGHT?!? The whole time I was thinking wtf does Tara know about connecting to music or an audience? She wouldn’t know emotionally motivated choreo if it bit her in the backside. Also, her repeatedly bringing up the 3A rotation 🙄 shes just jealous
I agree, its funny when Tara mentioned Mao is missing connecting to the audience and I’m like hmmmm Tara has no slightest idea what shes saying....any program of Tara in the past has no sense of connecting to the audience.
I wonder why a sincere person like Mao is kind of unpopular among North American commentators? Mao is a great skater and always friendly to anybody. She never complains nor makes any negative comments. If you watch her closely it's difficult to dislike her.
The triple axel looked fine to me. Even Tara who was attacking her throughout the program said, "I think it was all the way around." when she was looking at the instant replay. I really don't trust tech crews. There often seems to be an "agenda" or "reputational scoring" component (RCS instead of PCS) to their decisions that belies the actual jump itself. According to these announcers, sincerity and spare elegance these days in skating is taken as a lack of artistry, while an ear to ear smile and overwrought expressions and gestures are necessary for high art. I am so grateful for Mao that she stayed faithful to herself and always gave the audience genuine performances with triple axels, incredibly flexible spirals and spins, balletic flow and motion in and out of her jumps, which have beautifully symmetrical quick whipsaw spirals, dynamic and acrobatic step sequences, her profound spiritual element that somehow connects with human experience which she expressed so well in the Sochi LP, and genuine, elegant expressions. If you look closely at her photos, Mao has one of the widest ranges of expressions you will ever find. To me, Mao is more mythical, magical, athletic and emotional: she is the Ballerina Phoenix who arose from the disastrous ashes of her Sochi SP to give the greatest performance in history at Sochi and then carried that greatness into Worlds 2014 just as she did here in 2010. Yet, she doesn't even get 200 points in 2010 Worlds and merely gets 3rd place in the freeskate at Sochi. These scores are absurd, so I don't take them seriously. .
Ohh.. I never agreed more with a comment!!! Mao is a mythic creature. She’s an angel, a devil when she wants (Vancouver free skate) and she’s a dream skater!! Judges are so wrong.. I think there’s so much behind those scores.. Mao deserves more than that.
woow mao was fantastic evenso she has been underscored the last couple of seasons, for me she was and is the skater who shines the most not only at world or in vancouver but every season she steps on the ice. I just hope that her scores in the next season are going to reflect more to her briliant performance which she delivers. ohh and those commentators are supposed to be professional their comment are so ridicoules and not neutral like they should have been.
I dont get these two commentators keep talking about Yuna during Mao's performance, im not against yuna but cmon she's just about to start her performance and it seems like your telling her she's not gonna make it...
This is Mao's beautiful performance that NO ONE could've done. But this one woman commentator is talking about Yuna? Hello??? Yuna's lutz is beautiful, but other than that, EVERYTHING is way better than Yuna actually. Yuna's performance looks awesome because of face impression, which is not supposed to be graded. Who are those two commentators? Does anyone know?
One of them is Tara Lipinski: the one doing the most insulting. I can't watch this commentary, blatantly biased and totally inconsiderate. Mao's spins, spirals, steps and triple axel are all better than Kim in my opinion.
Why are they talking about Kim Yuna when Mao is skating. I don't get these 2 commentators. They are talking as if they have landed 3 Triple Axels in a single competition, won 2 world titles and a silver olympic medal. wth
@mian416me well say that when you see her compete again now that she has gotten used to her new technique, i don't see anything or anyone stopping her from dominating again... one skater that should never be counted out is Mao Asada, her ability to always bounce back when you the least expect it is amazing... I really look forward to see her skate again...
@xxflyingsoulxx101 I was not meaning Tara' s comment was about Mao's personality. I just wanted to say North American commentators were generally siding with Yuna saying such as Yuna is unbeatable or adorable. One Scott Hamilton person called Mao "slow and small" That kind of things were difficult to understand for me. Commentators should be neutral to the skaters.
@muuminavetta Exactly. It is no good fun listening to Tara Lipinski's comment on Mao's "lack of personality". On the contrary, Mao has a nice and serene personality that makes everybody really happy. (On the other hand, I am afraid that I found Yuna's SP absolutely vulger.....) I just don't understand why Tara had to make such a comment??? She ruined this video clip. Not at all nice.
@AnAsianNamedJose I saw Tara's SP and FS in 1998. They are whimsical, but technically not superior. Tara's programs were nothing compared to Mao's, IMHO.
whatever yuna is the most constant skater ever its true mao its not that constant and it she is much irregular but lets agree on this when she is the best she is untachable! she is history.
im a kim yuna fan, but generally a figure fan. and u know what?! does commentators need to learn how to stop yapping about other skaters. this is mao asada's stage, not yuna's. NBC IS WAY BETTER
wtf...throughout this entire sp all the commentators do is talk about how great kim yuna is and how mao is losing her game....wow...i rly dont get what is so Godly about kim yuna. i really feel that she and mao each have their strengths and weaknesses....i dont undersatnd why yuna is elevated to status of queen high above mao
this is really annoying how Tara keeps talking about Yuna during Mao's performance, but she says the truth: Mao's artistic skills, presentation doesn't come close to Yuna's. Still, this performance was absolutely flawless, just beautiful! Mao's technique, speed and flexibiliy is incredible. She deserved the two gold medals at the World so much; hopefully she will have a great season this year too. please don't click on the spam button, it wouldn't be fair.
mao does her best short ever, but that stupis count keeps saying about yuna ,how she is unbeateable and you have to feel every move that she makes on th ice , but later yuna couldnt even handle a slip and spiral,shame shame
Tara, I just disagree with you always. Worst commentator ever, NBC have to find new one please! Mao is the most beautiful talented brilliant skater I think. Tara please go away, we don't need you!!
@countrymusicCC well if you look at all the challeges mao has done and compare it to yuna you would clearly understand why mao sometimes has her up and down this girl never rest ad always wants to do better by challeging herself everytime and doing what no other had dared to, I actually like yuna but if you look at her programs it's always the same spins her spiral could be better, she could challenge herself i so many different area's but doesn't. you're picture off yuna being perfect is rubish
@Ghotika168 well the older sounding one doesnt have much to say, but the other one is Tara Lipinski, the 1998 Olympic Winter Games in Ladies figure skating. She has the insight to talk like shes doing in this video.
I don't think the commentators are negative. Just because they're not as complimentary towards Mao as they are to Yuna, doesn't mean they are being negative. Unfortunately, Mao, as great a skater as she is (and she is one of the greatest I've ever seen), has to share the spotlight with another great skater (Yuna), when under any other circumstances, she would be considered the greatest.
One more thing... I do love Mao over Yuna but I do agree with everything they said here... all of it is constructive criticism... Tara sees Mao's good side and points out what she's lacking to beat Yuna...
곡 해석력이 정말 꽝이네 미국에서도 일본은 경기하는데 너무 딱딱하게 한다고 비판하고 있는데 오히려 연기도 잘하는 연아산수한테 꽂혀서 더 호응이 있지 그리고 이 곡 자체가 비극적인 내용이 있는데 뭐가 그렇게 즐겁다고 입꼬리가 올라가 있데 마지막 엔딩 포즈도 연아한테서 가져왔구만 ㅉㅉ
than how will you explain of Yuna's consistace 3Lz+3T? she never fails 3-3 combo in any competition. she always made it either SP or FS or both. But Mao 3A? HaHaHa
今、あらためてやはりこのプロはあらゆる意味でこの年一番のSPだったと確信します。
オリンピックでのSPの演技は圧倒的に彼女が一番でした。
I wonder what the commentators said after she won Worlds here. Mao is amazing, the best master piece of her life!
Tara knows nothing. Mao is a legend. She's the rare type of performer who keeps evolving. She doesn't conform, she's always trying something new, always working hard. Not connecting to the audience? Watch her Sochi FS, it's raw emotion.

I agree, its funny when Tara mentioned Mao is missing connecting to the audience and I’m like hmmmm Tara has no slightest idea what shes saying....any program of Tara in the past has no sense of connecting to the audience.
The commentators should not have said that Yu na was unbeatable cause Mao won this competition,and she is really great here.
解説者が何を言おうと
観客の歓声がすべてを物語っている
日本人の応援団じゃない、現地の人らしい観客の顔の様子がホントに感動した人間の目なんですよね。
社交辞令的でなく、ホントに心の深い所から称賛してるんだろなあ、と観てて思わざるを得ない。
誰が何と思おうと、浅田真央が、一番!!
と言おうと思ったけど、みんな思っていてくれたみたい(#^.^#)
真央ちゃんだいすきだよーー。
I love this program, so beautiful jumps, spins, spirals and steps. Mao is a ballerina on ice and the most talented skater. God bless she!!!!!
真央ちゃん柔軟性もありいつも高度な技術に挑戦する姿勢が大切。素晴らしいです。真央さんは日本🇯🇵の宝です。
I wonder why a sincere person like Mao is kind of unpopular among North American commentators? Mao is a great skater and always friendly to anybody. She never complains nor makes any negative comments. If you watch her closely it's difficult to dislike her.
素晴らしい👏
本当凄い👏
真央ちゃん🙌🇯🇵
Wow,Very beautiful and elegant!!
Wonderful Performance!!
I’m speechless! LOVE MAO♡
真央ちゃんの仮面舞踏会大好き!
なんてエレガント!!
マドモアゼル!!
Love Mao's interview at the end. So adorable!

Mao suits this kind of music, the classic . anyone agree?

Her English is soo sweet ♥
one of the two commentators is just unbelievable, she just cant let go of Yuna. isn't this Mao's programme.
I dont get these two commentators keep talking about Yuna during Mao's performance, im not against yuna but cmon she's just about to start her performance and it seems like your telling her she's not gonna make it...
I disagree with the commentators. Mao was not lacking in emotion during her performance, just look at her expression close-up.
Her step sequence is the best full of emotions I've seen.
Wow, can these commentators ever just compliment Mao?
Tara: "Mao doesn't connect to the audience, music, or show personality"
Mao : *impeccable spiral while wearing a beaming smile*
This is Mao's beautiful performance that NO ONE could've done. But this one woman commentator is talking about Yuna? Hello???
Yuna's lutz is beautiful, but other than that, EVERYTHING is way better than Yuna actually.
Yuna's performance looks awesome because of face impression, which is not supposed to be graded.

Does anyone know?
One of them is Tara Lipinski: the one doing the most insulting. I can't watch this commentary, blatantly biased and totally inconsiderate. Mao's spins, spirals, steps and triple axel are all better than Kim in my opinion.
ikachanusa EVERYTHING is way better than Yuna actually????hahahaha
Ted Jackson mao didnt do better steps than yuna and flip, lutz and more
Marika fasola Mao do better steps, spiral, spins, 3A, 3F, 3Lo than Yuna.Yun do better 3Lz, 3S, 3T than Mao.It's my opinion.
Why are they talking about Kim Yuna when Mao is skating. I don't get these 2 commentators. They are talking as if they have landed 3 Triple Axels in a single competition, won 2 world titles and a silver olympic medal. wth
shes so cute when she speaks in english! :D i just adore her lol...(and btw, her english skills improved)
@mian416me well say that when you see her compete again now that she has gotten used to her new technique, i don't see anything or anyone stopping her from dominating again... one skater that should never be counted out is Mao Asada, her ability to always bounce back when you the least expect it is amazing...

kim is always same performance.

(On the other hand, I am afraid that I found Yuna's SP absolutely vulger.....) I just don't understand why Tara had to make such a comment??? She ruined this video clip. Not at all nice.
AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN YUNA KIM WITH ANY TECH
@AnAsianNamedJose I saw Tara's SP and FS in 1998. They are whimsical, but technically not superior. Tara's programs were nothing compared to Mao's, IMHO.
"she needs to show some feistiness on the ice"??? do they know what they are talking about.. gurls....she did just that landing the Triple axel!
whatever yuna is the most constant skater ever its true mao its not that constant and it she is much irregular but lets agree on this when she is the best she is untachable!
she is history.
im a kim yuna fan, but generally a figure fan. and u know what?! does commentators need to learn how to stop yapping about other skaters. this is mao asada's stage, not yuna's. NBC IS WAY BETTER

Omg who is the commentator?? So annoying and full of negative comments.
@tococofrom And I am a performance art critic, thank you!!
Tara, I just disagree with you always. Worst commentator ever, NBC have to find new one please! Mao is the most beautiful talented brilliant skater I think. Tara please go away, we don't need you!!
Yuna is unbeatable score wise,
athletically been beaten by many skaters.
It's just her PCS saving her from her poor techniques.
点数低い‼️
酷いなー💢
@countrymusicCC well if you look at all the challeges mao has done and compare it to yuna you would clearly understand why mao sometimes has her up and down this girl never rest ad always wants to do better by challeging herself everytime and doing what no other had dared to, I actually like yuna but if you look at her programs it's always the same spins her spiral could be better, she could challenge herself i so many different area's but doesn't. you're picture off yuna being perfect is rubish
Amazing con esa presentacion .. muy baja calificacion
omg really really really Cool!! Mao is the best skater ever with Yuna!
日本のフジTVは当時真央ちゃんを散々
酷いこと言ってキムヨナを応援していたらしいけど私は実はいまいちわからない
でもフジは観ない
真央ちゃんが(多分)何も思ってないなら観るけど
フジTVは🇰🇷の方が多いのでしょうかね?
CZcamsでも未だに反真央派がいてイラつくけれど
なんとも言えないのが正直なところです
ヨナさん嫌いではないんですよ
嫌な輩には言ってないつもりだけどCZcamsだから皆わかるよね
I just remembered... Tara won the Olympics in Mao's country (1998 Nagano)
Many dislikes from...you know the word xD
@Divolicious1 couldn't agree more!!!
@Ghotika168 well the older sounding one doesnt have much to say, but the other one is Tara Lipinski, the 1998 Olympic Winter Games in Ladies figure skating. She has the insight to talk like shes doing in this video.

So many Korean are struggle to Mao > Yuna lol
@mattyk94 you must need medication...
@janzei agree with you, she has been commenting for a while but still not every good.
Now she's back, what then? The result tells it all
@fi202 No fun, of course. Tara Lipinski is the youngest gold medalist in the history. She can see what you cannot see.
@AnAsianNamedJose lol, *Olympic champion
@muuminavetta Of course, you don't. If you find Mao so special about, so as they about Yuna. :)
3 axls ... and silver. ironic...
일본인이 좋아서 일본인과 결혼 했으면 좋겠지만
이미 현실은 물건너 갔다.

그리고 이 곡 자체가 비극적인 내용이 있는데 뭐가 그렇게 즐겁다고 입꼬리가 올라가 있데
마지막 엔딩 포즈도 연아한테서 가져왔구만 ㅉㅉ
처음가면무도회를온느낌이 비극이였나..?
그리고연아안무를왜뺏김ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ일본엔안무가없냨ㅋㅋㅋ
김연아선수만 유일하게 잘하는 선수라 생각하지 마시길... 아사다마오도 세계2위 였던 선수고 스케이팅 수준이 대단해요 그리고 가면무도회 마오아사다프로그램중에 해석력 제일 뛰어나다고 해설자들이 많이 말하는데 ㅋㅋ 벤쿠버 아사다마오 쇼트보고오셈~~
+Pink Harry 완전 동의해요..!!
Why do Koreans so attached to Mao Asada? Why are you trying to compare with Kim Yuna? Mao is Mao. Yuna is Yuna. Isn't that okay?
@@kaxttzochxanpez3201 욕안하면 병걸려서 그럼
than how will you explain of Yuna's consistace 3Lz+3T? she never fails 3-3 combo in any competition. she always made it either SP or FS or both. But Mao 3A? HaHaHa
The cheers of the audience speak for themselves
she now, became an ordinary skater like the others. I don't see any tech anymore from her.
