All of these dancers are incredible but I remain convinced that Osipova is an actual wili who is not bound by the laws of gravity

[@DianaRebeca1]

It's not acrobatics but it's great to see a dancer who actually makes you feel as if you're looking at the Willi she's supposed to be acting as ♥️

[@debbynosowsky3178]

It is Ferri who is the Willi for me. She is ethereal, other worldly. And unlike some of the Russians, dances through without awkward, unmusical changes in tempo.

All these are incredible especially Marianela, Vishneva, and Osipova.

idk why, but this scene in Giselle makes me ALWAYS cry🥺 i love how these ballerinas interpretate this (main) character✨

[@jenniferl.8111]

All of these dancers are beautiful, I don’t know why Osipova is the only one getting so much attention. Many others are very in synch to the music, and dance extremely gracefully.

[@estrellamarrone]

Exactly!! Osipova is like a crazy hysterical Giselle.. there is BETTER

[@annawong510]

Yes, they are all very beautiful. However, out of all of the dancers Osipova was able to perform it very fast yet very delightful (Faster turns, stronger leaps, and better technique). Even most professionals cannot do that. Osipova is also one of the most famous ballerinas in the world because of her other variations. And they are speechless. That is why she is getting a lot of attention and love. For the in synch part that could also be the conductors fault and dance hasn’t have to be 100% in synch. But yes, they are all talented and amazing dancers.😊

[@helendavies1326]

My favourite was Sylvie Guillem. Her jumps were the most ghostly, she was almost suspended on air. Natalia Osipova also got that impression of being suspended. Closely followed by Alessandra Ferri

[@mi5ro10]

It is so interesting to compare. Vishneva and Cojocaru seem to show something unnatural as if they were made to dance that way because they were spirits not human anymore. Osipova is supernatural herself!

[@Marta44339]

Great compilation, thanks. I loved Vishneva and Cojocaru. I agree that both seemed to "snap" from one altered state to another as they became wilis, and supernatural is an apt description. I particularly liked Vishneva's downward gaze. I have seen both Vishneva and Osipova as Giselle and as much as I love Osipova, I think Vishneva is second only to Makarova as Giselle.

[@kabardinka1]

The entire point of this moment is that Giselle is now a supernatural being... she's no longer human. And that's what Osipova communicates so perfectly (and Vishneva as well). She is no longer in control of herself... she's a fantastical creature, not a ballerina.

[@mikiohirata9627]

Not to me. She's not ethereal nor airy like a silphi should be.

[@bjoerndippon4915]

Same... Osipova to me seems like the only one who doesn't control, but throws her body around. No grace, no mystic. I find Ferri has exactly that. Always loved her as Giselle.

Osipova for the ultimate Giselle. She is not only a brilliant technician but also a great actress.

[@leilazerrouki7040]

That's funny with Svetlana Zakharova, I loved her on the lady of the camellias, very dramatic, tragic but here and on several more classical role suddenly I see the robotic mechanical emotionless people are talking about. She can pull off emotions, dramatic, she is my favorite Lady of the Camellias, even Agnes Letestu is not moving me as much, but yeah I don't know it's been several more classical role where I suddenly does not see and feel the emotions with Zakharova. But I love those comparison videos, it really does shows the impact of style I think and each dancer and how they can be all good and we still are going to like one more than the other. Every video comparison for me reinforce my preference for the Russian style and makes me forget the small negative things I see into it. But it's also making me see dancers I would not have seeked out without it !

Наталья Осипова - единственная Жизель, которая передает упоение героини стихией танца и в первом и во втором действии. Танец для нее на первом месте, потом любовь, и нет места печали. Достоинство,бесстрашие, полет - такой жизненной силы и убедительности в этом сказочном персонаже я не видела у других балерин. Когда она танцует, кажется, что главные события истории Жизели еще впереди. От ее Жизели всегда невероятный заряд оптимизма, мастерство служит этой сверхзадаче.

[@ИринаГужвина-е7й]

Согласна с Вами. Для меня Осипова - лучшая Жизель. Когда увидела первый раз, просто дыхание перехватило. Недавно еще и в реале любовалась ею в "Жизели".

People, lot of you guys were saying that Natalia Osipova was too fast... Here's what I think: When you're playing for a superstar like Natalia, you better speed up your shit.

[@ginax8307]

Vishneva understood the assignment! Superb job to her! Osipova was lacking in the musicality department BUT her leaps-when they are suspended for that .1 second. It looks like she is flying. So I can mostly forgive the musicality. *Especially* with how well she uses the power in her upper body. The others lacked the necessary “unbridledness” this portion of the dance requires, although there are several honorable mentions. I was sorta shocked with Svetlana in this piece. She wasn’t bad but I guess she’s set the bar very high for herself. I wasn’t blown away by her performance, which I normally am.

Osipova had more respect for tempo/musicality when she was in a more rigid institution aka Bolshoi. After she left she had enough stardom to convince American/British companies to let her do whatever she wants & started dominating every piece, both in sense of her astonishing physical abilities and unfortunately in music. I admire her tremendously but the little regard she now gives to following the tempo drives me mad.

Больше всего понравилась Образцова, очень невесомо, изящно, отличный темп, и самое главное, замечательно показан характер персонажа. У Захаровой крайне небрежное исполнение, Осиповой данная партия и вовсе не удалась, словно гимнастка на сцену вышла, только булав в руках не хватило. Вообще, это не ее героиня, у Натальи очень жесткая манера танца, рваная, порывистая, никак не подходящая хрупкой и нежной Жизели. Вишнева начала хорошо, но в дальнейшем словно потеряла нить вариации, жаль. Остальные не произвели впечатления, сонно, вяло. Жизель, конечно, мертва, но не до состояния комы.
