Mi-a plăcut gala asta. a avut un aer de prospețime, de bucurie de a patina, de dorință de amuzament și chiar momente lirice. Mi-a plăcut mult cuplul ad-hoc american Isabeau-Paul în care fiecare a jucat, pe rând, rol de antrenor și de concurent. Mi-a plăcut imaginația plină de fantezie a costumelor, cum ar fi cel al lui Nika Egadze, a perechi spaniole de la dans, ridicările care m-au făcut să-mi stea inima în loc ale perechii americane (scuze, știu doar nume lui: Shea).
(UPDATE: între timp am căutat versurile melodiilor alese de Denis și am găsit ”In the Air tonight”, scrise de Phil Collins după un divorț, el spune că e vorba despre multă furie, disperare, frustrație. Cred că Denis a interpretat admirabil asta, Versurile și confesiunea lui Phil Collins le voi pune mai jos)
A fost o idee bună să invite și sportivi care au oferit spectacol fără să fi ocupat vreun rol important în clasament, cel mai simpatic dintre ei fiind Donovan Carillo. Râsul molipsitor al perechii japoneze de la figuri a fost adorabil.
Dar cireașa de pe tort pentru mine a fost programul lui Ilia Malinin (minutele 2:24:20-2:28:12). Unora poate li s-a părut cam sinistru. Melodia s-a intitulat ”Capcana Oaselor” și nu mi-a trebuit mult până să-mi dau seama de unde e inspirată, din serialul chinezesc de mare succes ”Lost You Forever”. Ambianța poate a fost sinistră dar acolo și-au mărturisit dragostea Xiao Yao și Dushan Jing. La final s-a văzut clar că pe jacheta lui Ilia erau imprimate caractere chinezești.

Spre deosebire de alte gale finalul a constat numai în prezentarea participanților. Probabil că nu a fost timp (și poate nici pricepere) pentru pregătirea unei parade mai spectaculoase

Cântecul din programul lui Denis (în videoclipul de la gală minutele 21:25-26:45)
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
And I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
Can you feel it coming in the air tonight? Oh Lord, oh Lord
Well, if you told me you were drowning, I would not lend a hand
I've seen your face before, my friend, but I don't know if you know who I am
Well, I was there and I saw what you did, I saw it with my own two eyes
So you can wipe off that grin, I know where you've been
It's all been a pack of lies
And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
Well, I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
Well, I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord, oh Lord
Well, I remember, I remember, don't worry, how could I ever forget?
It's the first time, the last time we ever met
But I know the reason why you keep your silence up, no, you don't fool me
Well, the hurt doesn't show, but the pain still grows
It's no stranger to you and me
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
Well, I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
I can feel it in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord
Well, I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
And I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
I can feel it in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord
Well, I've been waiting for this moment all my life, oh Lord, oh Lord
I can feel it in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord
Well, I've been waiting for this moment all my life, oh Lord, oh Lord
Collins wrote the song amid the grief he felt after divorcing his first wife Andrea Bertorelli in 1980. In a 2016 interview, Collins said of the song's lyrics: "I wrote the lyrics spontaneously. I'm not quite sure what the song is about, but there's a lot of anger, a lot of despair and a lot of frustration."

Cage of Bones
Son Lux Lyrics
Let's be anyone but us tonight
Trade this heavy cage of bones for flight
Oh, what a noise we'll make
Drowning out our mistakes, we can't erase
This is the chance we take
We shout until our bones break
We can't replace
Are we now what we'll be?
Are we fixed or free?
Are we now what we'll be?
Are we fixed or free?
Let's be anyone but you and me today
Trade this heavy cage of bones for flight
And when the sirens reach out for us
We'll be far away
And when the sirens reach out for us
We'll be far away
Oh, what a noise we'll make
Drowning out our mistakes, we can't erase
This is the chance we take
We shout until our bones break
We can't replace
Are we now what we'll be?
Are we fixed or free?
Are we now what we'll be?
Are we fixed or free?
Overall, "Cage of Bones" is a reflection on the longing for freedom, transformation, and escape from who we are, while acknowledging the difficulties and uncertainties that come with these desires.
