Michelle Kwan's "No One" by Alicia Keys

I was listening to Pandora this morning and heard "No One" by Alicia Keys. Of course, the song reminded me of when Michelle Kwan skated to it in Yu-Na Kim's All That Skate show in South Korea two years ago. While I don't think this is my favorite Michelle program, it's still definitely worth a look, as all Michelle programs are. In any case, it's always a joy to see Michelle on the ice, especially since her appearances are so few and far between in recent years.

Enjoy!

Happy Belated Birthday to Michelle Kwan: "On My Own" from Les Miserables

Michelle Kwan celebrated her 32nd birthday on July 7th. Obviously I'm a little late with posting something in honor of her day, but better late than never, right?

Happy belated birthday to Michelle. Enjoy!
