[@nycgtl88]

Johnny Weir will always be known for expressing himself. Despite the great technical skaters knowadays, JW stands out as most artistic. Im glad I got to see him skate during my era. Still unmatched and always a pleasure to see. Great music selection by Di blasio/Juan Gabriel. Piano seems to suit him best.

[@blackwood5851]

Such a talented man. You can really see that he enjoys what he does (and he's freaking good at it). I'm glad this commentator was respectful, some others make really lame comments.

[@Velimattiranta]

Look at the art he creates. He is a dancer at heart. STUNNING.

[@drihlaufeyson3478]

Agree 👏👏👏

[@Velimattiranta]

I love him. I wasted all my years wanting to have a moment of gliding.

[@marialeon9794]

Velimatti Ranta juan gabriel song!

[@dayaotravel6102]

he is so sexy, with such elegant and cute extension in his body. This is what we call figure skating, not jumping or spinning competition, but a art, a performance!

His programs are not all about the technical elements, he looks like he has a lot of fun and he has amazing programs

[@thomasellinger8477]

He is an artist😍

[@kyrababieee914]

Seriously, this has to be the most beautiful sport. Johnny is just breath-taking. He makes it seem so effortless.

[@djizzah]

he doesn't care that he's gay and he skates, he's proving that he can do what he wants and no can stop him.

[@mysteryperson1976]

He has never come off as a competitive skater. He seems to care more about giving a good show for the audience, not winning awards.

[@ladykuether1731]

Although this video is 11 years ago and what you wrote is from 4 years ago still feel like everyone knows now that Johnny had a lot of pressure about skating. He didn't start when he was young he started much much later in life but he never could really get over his fear. His legs often and gave him trouble because of pressure. But as you know he went on to win Awards and competitive skating but he is absolutely a great dancer skater.

[@miryamishot]

He's very talented

[@wheresamber]

Wow, he stays so connected with the music throughout and keeps his level of energy consistent. I hope he never loses the mischievous sweetness. It is rare.

[@drihlaufeyson3478]

OMG when he plays with the crowd at 3:05 is amazing, and so sexy... And fun at the same time!!! I love him!! 😍😍😍

[@muscleboi4use]

Thank you so much for posting as of course we don't get to see this in UK without You Tube. You guys make us Brits jealous. You have Johnny Weir & Jeremy Abbott (& Evan & Ryan etc!). GREAT performace. I don't think any other male figure skater has endured such a huge amount of personal criticism as Johnny Weir. He shows ENORMOUS courage, bravery and TALENT.

[@funeralgiggle3771]

This is my favourite performance of Johnny Weir. His skating is superb and super fun to watch.

[@Sarah-pq6wz]

I just discovered his talent last year in November, funally ENOUGH I watched figure skating when I was young I'm 30 now, and I've watched as much as I can of him. You know what I've found he's constant and his performances WOW everyone. The fact he didn't medal in torino or Vancouver is BULL S***. Ok rant over love you Johnny Weir. Btw the fact he's Norwegian background but can speak Russian FLUENTLY is SOO HOT OMG.😱

[@cookiesgreen]

I adore Johnny Weir. He simply makes me so happy when I watch him perform. Amazing.

[@Danny-be4ey]

one of my all time favourite skaters

[@user-ec7hy6gt3q]

Just noticed that in the end of his program Johnny says "spasibo", it's "thank you" in Russian;)

[@ssantaballa]

It's impossible to just make it with talent. Presence is the biggest thing that should matter to a performer, and it can make the biggest difference. He has one of the most amazing presences I've ever seen.

[@TheJazsinger]

He's always been one of my very best favorites.

[@euginam91]

this guy is beyond awesome... he works the camera the crowd he's an amazing skater and he understands russian... omg!

[@d25rama]

I've watched his videos before but I've never been amazed at his performance as I have at this. That was flawless and stupendous. I don't understand the scoring system but he should have gotten something that looked like a perfect score.

[@MommyWalrus]

Fantastic. One of the very few skaters I enjoy watching from beginning to end. This guy has it all - entertainment and talent. The negative comments are shocking. It's a shame in this day and age we can't accept and embrace his individuality.

[@lialammas]

He is so artistic , How the judges had not given him the bronze medal is very unfair. Johnny I love to watch all your performances. To me you are gold.

[@user-tq3ju5fs1e]

Он , Джонни и Стефан Ламбьель, самые шикарные фигуристы того времени. Шедевральное исполнение!!!! Сколько лет прошло.... Смотришь и восхищаешься прокатами Джонни и Стефана!!!!!

[@katerina155]

Others skaters are good but Johnny is the only one I really enjoy watching.

[@GOLDENEYE-sd8mc]

Hey may not be the best jumper but the jumps he does are clean and his presence on the ice is amazing! His lines are perfect!

[@Rajnoma]

Johnny skates his heart out, perfect jumps, great height, amazingly strong spins yet he didn't even get on the Podium at Vancouver. I think some judges may have been prejudiced because of his possible sexual orientation; he's just too "different" for them. Such a shame and a loss for us all But Johnny will persevere and continue his career in other venues, I know. We wish him well indeed!

[@sweetangiegirl1]

I would wondered why Loki looked so familiar. It came to me this morning when I saw pics of his and Tara L.

[@Velimattiranta]

every jump perfect lanodind. I love this man so much...class.

[@Bassooooon1]

Such an incredible showman. Wonderful performance last night, good sir! Watching you skate never fails to lift my spirits ^.^

[@itsyejy]

No words to explain how attractive he is. I wish he was my boy friend..

[@skibidibisigmi]

he’s gay tho

[@MeritCullen]

His enormous grace is what amazes me the most...

[@Wontaco]

He is amazing! I absolutely love him!

[@renaisanc9]

Yes, an Angel, indeed; at one point he actually WALKED UPWARD ON AIR once he was airborne! Beautiful boy... yes, he says Spaciba (Russian - Thank You), as God is apparently speaking Russian at these games... or at least when you're an Angel and have 2 Russian coaches, :-) [Bless your Angelheart, Johnny Weir! Gabi Baroness]

[@1stholly]

Proud to say I saw it live :-) Fabulous! He's so fun and playful! Very exciting to watch :-)

[@woollyfeet]

agreed - I wish I had a fraction of his grace! What an amazing skater

[@user-he6it5hy7e]

Действительно,какая разница,на каком он месте. Зрит ели оценили красоту катания. Это было великолепно!Джонни super!!!

[@user-ge9kb9tm6r]

А мне очень обидно, что Джонни засудили на ОИ-10. До сих пор больно от той несправедливости. Вейра сильно недооценили в спорте...

[@GTEd]

My champion! (:

[@Tiffawesomeness]

beautiful man, beautiful skater.

[@RogRabbit]

He dances Beautifully.

[@esquibelle]

I miss Johnny. He's one of the greatest athletes & entertainers of all time & a magnificent artist as well. Love you Johnny!

[@Airae]

И тут наши люди :) Приятно. Wonderful!!!

[@leandracleo72]

i know people have a right to freedom of speech but people really do need to think about what they post on public forums - whether gay or straight, black or white - whatever - you dont get to be a 3 time US champ by winging it - he is the total package - graceful and athletic - who lives his life the best way he can being true to himself - giving 100% on and off the ice - thats what i felt when i met him - what more can you ask of someone when they represent the USA - ROCK ON JOHNNY!!

[@LoYaLeNiGMa]

He's amazing! Can't wait to see him at the olympics!

[@cyberchik66]

Skating is just not the same without Johnny Weir. Please come back and put some heart into men's figure skating :(

[@LoyaFrostwind]

Toni B , Yuzuru Hanyu gives a pretty performance, of the recent crop of skaters. Also Jason Brown is fun to watch.

[@RogRabbit]

Johnny is amazing, such a positive influence, such a passionate artist, such a skilled skater with an amazing personality, great sense of humour and cares for his fans, and best of all, does NOT give a fuck about those who criticize him, after all, they didnt help him get to the top where he is now. Go johnny, love ya.

[@mikailabroekaert9768]

Who says a guy can't dress in pink and black.

[@AphroditeEros33]

[@irismendoza]

[@sookybabi]

Johnny takes his sport seriously! Look at the focus and attention to detail :).

[@ForeverKaterina]

The wink at the end made me squeal!!!

[@famkefreckles6157]

Simply marvelous. Excellent control and precision

[@BlackKat71]

His movements seem so smooth, as thought they just flow together. So nice!

[@greenapple202]

oh my gosh~ so beautiful~

[@LadyTripProductions]

I agree it broke my heart when he wasn't put on pop star on ice "to flamboyant" to flamboyant my A** hes being himself which sadly wasn't appreciated I loved the lutzes GO JOHNNY GO! johnny weir is a genius

[@buleiqi]

love him..! he is so graceful and elegant..

[@zunopark]

So talented.....Beautiful flow....He's such a wonderful performer.

[@futureidol83]

This was one of your most amazing performances Johnny! It was the best of the night and got the best standing ovation. You should have gotten an 88 or 89 on this. I wish the FS could have matched this, hopefully it will in Vancouver. He should definitely try for the quad in his FS at the Olympics. He did a beautiful one during the warm up.

[@SecondPlaceYuya]

Definately underscored on this one. His scores were lower than they should have been on footwork and spins BUT his sheer presence on the ice, attention to detail, speed, flow, effortlessness would have annhialated all the competition in the 6.0 system. I'm still shocked that he fell from the good graces of the ISU and USFSA, they could have capitalized so much on his skills and personality to increase the popularity and notariaty of skating, but instead they chose to shun him.

[@julierichardsoncastro838]

He's awesome to watch.....Love him!

[@rainisland]

I do love his triple axel!! Johhny is really great skater, he's got a beautiful smile, and she speaks russian :-) At 4:05 he said "Spasiba".....can't wait to see him in Vancouver....Thanks for sharing this....

[@Basileus1983]

spectacular spins, very beatiful

[@ithinkpigsarecool]

perfection...he is sooo graceful and so fun! i love his costume! he is ffaabbbullousss

[@TheCaljoy]

Fantastic & very solid. His skating was very enjoyable to watch.

[@TheKnittingJudge]

he is absolutely adorable. Im so proud of him. extrordinary skating, I do hope he represents ths US at the olympics.

[@MsSwwood]

Amazing! Rock on, Mr. Weir!!!!

[@velvetpaws999]

wonderful! what a talent, what a great dancer! go Johnny go! Brilliant!

[@Kimimarii]

Favorite of Mens! :D

[@uncchristine99]

This is beautiful... he has such perfect carriage. I love him and Daisuke... I could watch them just do crossovers. I know he was 3rd overall but he's my favorite American... go Johnny!

[@CasaDePolly]

He is just so... amazingly... perfect. he is so beautiful!! so... ahhh i love him. just love him

[@maitria]

wow I beginning to realize that he he is one of the biggest trailblazers we have right now who is redefining what it means to be a man -sexuality is a continuum...Sports is threatened by this and I think he is to be admired for his commitment to being himself.

[@TVFusionPhoenix]

fenomenal heres el mejorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[@chilangoson]

Congrats on your Vancouver performance. The best.

[@zebrastripe11]

im at the awesome part of youtube again

[@aptpupil77]

The real name of the song that he's skating about is "Till I've met You" ( Hasta que te conoci written by Juan Gabriel a famous mexican singer ), and is an instrumental piece made by Raul DiBlasio for piano.

[@MsBadside]

He makes me want to watch figure skating...I love it!!

[@v2thekey921]

he's FANTASTIC!

[@cherryrosetan]

Love Johnny! I hope he competes in Worlds next year. *can't wait to see his new choreography* It still breaks my heart that he was underscored at the Olympics though. PS: Johnny Weir has not been invited to the Stars on Ice tour (the only figure skating tour in the U.S.) because they deemed him "not family-friendly." Tours are very important for skaters to earn a living. If you guys haven't signed the "include Johnny Weir" petition going around, please do so and spread the petition!

[@MontgomeryMonteiro]

[@shadyws310]

[@JustUs756]

[@trashywilma]

[@yaylifeyay]
