I've said this so many times before but I love how natural and organic Nathan's skating feels. He has such a relaxed, loose way of skating. His balletic arms and hands are really soft and pretty in this program, moving in tune with his body. But he can be so cool, edgy, and powerful with his unique swagger too. I can't say enough about his versatility. This is so different from something like the choreo sequences of Rocketman and Mozart medley, but I love that he can convincingly work with any type of choreo.
I can't watch this number without smiling. It's simply beautiful, very pleasing and relaxing. Not timed for difficult jumps (although they're always welcome), Nathan can give himself to full expressions with his arms and upper body. I see a mixture of classical and modern movements, the ways he feels the music. When he kneels down, I wish the camera didn't cut too close because the viewers lost sight of his full body movement. I love the little "compass" around 2:24 and the ice shave toss that follows, how free and sweet they make you feel. One thing, the shirt's color and busy pattern are a bit distracting. Other than that, what a special moment for the live audience and home viewers, it feels like the best of Nathan Chen is still ahead, this amazing athlete has more to offer us.
Wow! Talk about feeling the music. I felt like I was watching a dancer as much as a skater. I had to loop the video so it would just keep playing for a while.
Nathan is truly multi-talented. He is not only an Olympic champion, he is also a superb pianist and versatile dancer. I enjoy watching all his incredible performance.
Nathan has grown artistically in his skating performances👍. This is so soft & tranquil & easy. When it ends, it leaves me wanting more. That's when you have reached your mark. Bravo Nathan👏
I always wonder what exactly compels people to come to a Nathan video to leave comments like “I don’t like his style”. Now I can understand you watch a video that includes other skaters and you are commenting on who you like better. But it makes no sense to watch the video of only nathan and then say, I never like his style. Then why are you here?
Tant de beauté dans les mouvements, quelle belle fluidité!! Nathan Chen exprime tellement bien ses émotions ressenties comme danseur , il est d’un naturel et d’une authenticité remarquables. Il inspire l’âme avec son talent de créateur sensible et rempli de vitalité. Merci Nathan de partager cette belle énergie!
Как же это восхитительно и чувственно. Сколько же в этом человеке силы и харизмы. Чен- один из тех, кто не просто делает свою работу, а действительно умеет вживаться в образы, которые он демонстрирует, просто посмотрите это движение рукой в конце😍 Его работоспособность, телосложение. ДАР, воспитание, образование и самое главное понимание того, чем он занимается и делает его тем, кем он является сейчас
Feliz feliz feliz cumpleaños querido Nathan, que Dios Todopoderoso guíe tus pasos,y decisiones y seas muy bendecido siempre,desde Chile con mucho cariño......
I hope Nathan can do more pieces like this. I know he likes more upbeat music and hip hop but this kind of program suits him so well. I feel like this program really highlights his strengths. Wish he wouldn't have abandoned so much of his artistry during competitions, imagine seeing this kind of energy and commitment to choreography all throughout his career. I hope he continues doing shows once he goes back to school. I wanna see him develop even more artistically.
He usually uses upbeat music for his short program and slow music for his long program as a contrast. I feel that his strength is being a well-rounded skater with a balanced mix of artistry and technical excellence as well as very versatile in different choreography styles and not limited to just one particular style. He did win the past three Worlds Champ with contemporary dance programs like "Mao's Last Dancer", "Land of All" and "Philip Glass". The thing is that he is doing 4 to 5 difficult quads in a program, so it is hard to have very complex choreography while still having the stamina and stability to finish the jumps. For Space Song program, there is not much technical content, so he can focus more on the choreography. If you check out his latest Mozart program, he has been adding hand expressions like the Space Song program which is something different from other skaters.
What an absolutely lovely show number! Nathan could be an ice dancer, he doesn't need jumps to capture an audience. This is hypnotising. I wonder who choreographed this. Maybe Nathan himself?
@@ws-yc7ue Haha yes I can't unsee the meat image. I suggested all white because I saw a photo of him wearing it in a group number and white reminds me of the pure dreamy vibe of the song. Otherwise any uni-color outfit is also fine because it shows his line better.
@@ws-yc7ue Oh he likes tie-dye shirts? It is my first time seeing him in it though. Tie-dye is a tricky thing cos I find it distracting and takes away from his performance. I know his love for either black or white tee and I am totally fine with it. Simple outfit goes very well with his modern and organic skating style.
@@ws-yc7ue Oh but I don't consider the top that he wore for Rocketman at IDF to be tie-dye though. It's like a collage of colors? I actually like all his striking Rocketman costumes except for the yellow one which pales in comparison. I like that his costumes got people talking whether they like or hate it and are part of his "Nathan Chen" signature. Unlike others, I usually have no problem with his costumes but this tie-dye shirt really has to go. It really looks like something that you wear going to the beach or resort.
Thanks so much for uploading this video 😍 it made my day!! Best early birthday present ever 🤩 Watching Nathan skate to one of my favourite songs ever is like witnessing a miracle 🙈😻🥰
@@divinearia1601 ever since I came across Space Song I fell in love with it ❤When I heard Nathan was going to perform to this song in Japan I couldn't believe it at first hahaha I think it suits him a lot especially since it's called Space Song and he's the Rocketman 😅 what song would you like to see Nathan skate to by the way?
I like the shirt. The candy pink color and tie dye serve the dreamy quality of the music, if you ask me. Love that this performance focuses on artistic expression. He looks so free and happy 🥰
yeah this definitely didn't feel like Shae Lynn. Someone once said that her choreo has been holding him back a little artistically and I can see it now. He looks so gorgeous with this choreo, it really shows off his body line and shows that Nathan does pay attention to the little details.
@@cyrra8865 I would be really interested to see Nathan do a Scali choreographed program in competition. It would be interesting to see how it goes once quads are added in. Scali did work with Nathan on PCS for Olympics Rocketman but of course he didn’t choreograph that. I hope after Nathan finishes school he does decide to come back.
@@daffygirl4591 I don't think he'll come back to competition unfortunately :^(. I hope he at least keeps doing shows, and that he continues using Scali, they seem to work very well together. I think Japan likes him enough that they'd keep inviting him.
@@cyrra8865 Yeah as much as I would love him to come back I think he’s ready to move on. Some of it will also depend on how he feels during the next two years and his hip. But I will be happy if he still continues to do shows. I would love to see him explore his artistic side more with Scali as his choreographer. He’s very well liked in Japan so I’m sure he’ll be invited back.
@@cyrra8865 To be fair to Shae Lynn and Chen, choreographing a competitive program vs an exhibition program are two different things. The first is more stringent with timing to fulfill various technical requirements. Nathan Chen wouldn't be able to take time and skate like what you see here. Expecting Chen to be this "artistic" at the same time jumping 5 quads is unrealistic. He wouldn't have enough time or energy, nobody could do that.
I love that in-between the positive gushing for this new EX and chuckling at Nate's seemingly-looks-like-marbled-meat tie-dye shirt, everybody appears to have batted a blind eye at the backflip near the end of the program. I mean, it's always impressive when he does it, and not every day you see an Olympic Champion do a backflip on ice. For me, it kind of seems out of place in terms of the vibes this program gives off? Only really a minor complaint, but Nate looks like a different skater w/ this EX. And I love it.
Such viciousness. This is obviously no competition level skating and puts less strain on body. Please go away. I’m sure YH is skating somewhere too with his “sprained” ankle.
@@annabell6014 did I say show? Or just somewhere? In any case, everyone can see this is not a competition level skate. And this is a commitment as part of the team. IMHO, it is more honorable to skip personal events to fulfill a team commitment. I did that myself. I injured myself before a martial arts tournament. So I withdrew from all personal events so I can do one group event so as not to jeopardize the shot of team to medal.
I know you all love Nathan, but I don't find the "natural, casual style" as compelling as many do. Particularly his posture, which always seems rounded and crunched up in the shoulders. Without the multiple astounding quads, to me Nathan is just pleasant. I prefer the Jason Brown or Patrick Chan style -- perfect posture/body lines and precise choreography. Or (of course) the Yuzuru style which has the perfect body positions and posture + the jumps. No argument that Nathan is a feat of nature, but different styles resonate with different fans.
I don't find Jason's posture appealing, personally. He has a strange posture with a protruding butt. If it appeals to others, that's fine too. However, to say that someone is perfect is just not true because, clearly, different things appeal to different people. Art is so subjective. Same with Yuzuru. Not a fan of his carriage, especially the carriage of his upper body and droopy arms. It's quite noticable when he's trying to set up his jumps. To me, Nathan has the cleanest lines out of all three. Although his shoulders are loose and relaxed, he has nice arms, wrists, and hands. And he points his toes and has beautiful turnouts, prob because of his ballet background. Like I said, different things appeal to different people.

I love the precision of each of his movement.
Just beautiful and very moving - he reminds me of Michelle kwan so much in this :)
Nathan is a full package, capable of various styles!

Very beautiful and fluid skating. I just wish he can wear something simple like his Philip Glass outfit to fit the dreamy vibe of the song.
Agree. Preferably a simple white shirt because the song is so light, it floats.
@@thulekovish8188 Yup. I saw that he was wearing all white for one of the group number. That outfit would be perfect for this performance.

💖💖💖
Omggggg I feel like I’m watching yuzuru on the stage 😭
His Beauty has already reached and close to that level
Beautiful performance! I love this. But marbled-meat tie-dye T does not fit Nathan.
Soft uni color shirt matches this light music.
He can win Olympic without quad…. Just kidding 😂🤣

Where was he did this show?
It's a performance in Osaka
His hands turn so red towards the end omg

I love Nathan so much but his costume looks like meat from supermarket. 😂
More like the inside of a fig. But it didn’t matter. I was still drawn to his performance because it was simply breathtaking.
En saltos es un genio, pero el resto de tiempo lo sigo viendo algo duro para mi gusto, jeje.
