Pernelle Carron and Matthieu Jost of France used an uplifting compilation of Edith Piaf music, with Piaf’s vocals, which had the crowd clapping and stamping feet, and it was perfect for ice dancing and for just plain singing along if you know a little French.

And the next couple, Anna Cappellini and Luca Lanotte of Italy, chose a ‘Love Story’ soundtrack sung by Nana Mouskouri. Now I loved the movie as much as the next girl and I know there was skating in ‘Love Story,’ but is what you’re going for here, to make the fans (at least the female ones) all weepy?
