2017 Golden Skate Interview with Vanessa James and Morgan Ciprès

[@patriciagittens358]

They are an amazing couple on ice. God has a purpose for us all. He is using Vanessa and Morgan to do remarkable things!!! I wish them all the best.

[@michellecroxton1393]

vanessa and morgan have leaped across all lines. They are graceful and committed. The love exhibited between them is undeniable and so heart stirring. There is nothing wrong with interracial dating, relationships and marriage. Waiting to hear more about them and their journey. GOD BLESS.

[@Sevda39ify]

Morgan, what a fine young man your mother has raised. You are pure class and mainly a beautiful and elegant skater.

[@andreareid9857]

Read some nasty comments and feel compelled to say she's dynamic and animated talking about her passion and he seems comfortable with her taking the lead and he made the points he wanted to they are different personalities and that's why they work well together he's seems to be a more deep thinker and worry more and they bolster one another she's just a bundle of energy that he helps contain I believe he has a quiet strength

[@kathygadson7874]

She has a stronger command of the English language and it is an interview being done in English...

Very talented and humble... She's so spontaneous, despite all pressure competing may bring you to ... How nice and refreshing. Great pair of ice skating

[@clambolam4415]

Everybody on Social Media, especially on Twitter & including the women TV commentators have praised Vanessa's 'Let It Rain' beautiful electric blue dress. Have you seen the gorgeous Getty Images beamed around the World??? Just days after Vanessa's Olympic SP there were folks in Japan who made dolls of Vanessa wearing the blue dress. Vanessa & Morgan's 'Say Something' costumes have even made the Best Dressed/Costume List - the beadwork and lace accents are breathtaking. So just because you've followed Vanessa & Morgan for a couple of years - doesn't actually mean you KNOW her. So YES! Shock Top *you're a Hater* and a Jerk for calling Vanessa's costumes "butt ugly".

[@reneedavis870]

You tell'em Clambo Lim. They looked great. Vanessa's blue costume was celebrated. I laughed when the commentator said she could wear a tablecloth and look good. Vanessa & Morgan look grown and sexy. The confidence shows. I am long time fan and appreciate seeing the child become a man and Vanessa gain that IT thing that makes a woman beautiful and strong. Thanks for supporting them.

Saw their Tournée in Marseilles & in Caen. So glad my 7 y/o daughter wanted their autographs - sweet Maé gave her a hug. Gabi & Vane were delightful 💞 Momo stood in the audience an arm's length from where my family was sitting in Caen. Momo's stunning green/hazel eyes could carry on a conversation without him uttering a word & his world famous 🍑 butt was (is) truly Magnificent 😍 😍 Gui & Momo are total Baes - Gorgeous beyond words... Now our boys (5 & 9) just started ice skating lessons.

[@akira_ariga]

SHE SO FUCKING CUTE OMFG AAAHHHHHH

[@elizabethebarkley6319]

Vanessa,one does not have to be romantically involved to be thoughtful /caring to another person/friend.When you go out to skate forget the complexities of the world and just skate your heart out.Remember you have no one to please /impress but yourself.Always picture yourself in another’s shoes.Lately Morgan appears pale and drained after a program as though he’s under a lot of pressure and just going through the motions.You all are partners,you are supposed to look out for each other.

[@Martica2]

Elizabeth recently several people commented on IG that Morgan looked unwell. To me he seems to have aged a lot, especially since the 2017-2018 season began. For someone who trains in Florida he is sheet white, even the wrap on his forearm was barely noticeable because of his pallor. Someone must've said something to Vanessa, because after the Pairs SP Wednesday, she let Morgan hug her and they came off the ice together. But after the FS she was pushing his hand away and left him on the ice - even John Zimmerman made a face.

[@patsydegannes9826]

That dumb looking Jordan guy probably told her not to be so ''affectionate'' with Morgan, i noticed the change after she came back from a visit with him and they did not have a very good skate, which is the ones you're referring to i think

[@lhaire]

Oh man. Their "Sound of Silence" routine was really nice. She is so beautiful. I need her to just have my curly headed crumb snatchers already. Enough of me, though. Now, I'm on to reading the disguised sexists/racists comments.

[@MsTriteseariaCammy]

I think they got their music down I think they have their choreography down I think they're skating well but I think their costumes leave much to be desired especially on this level of performance um she's a beautiful girl but I think they D to do a whole lot more with her costumes. I think she's a very elegant skater and as she needs to wear more elegant with a little bit of sass and glitz. And his custom ease to met hers otherwise they are a total package

Oh no they've said to much... I like to romanticize he has never dropped her and they are perfectly synced... and now I hear there's butt pads. Lol! I guess they're perfect when it counts.

[@clambolam4415]

T-Dub Morgan has never ever dropped Vanessa. All figure skaters fall, and in Vanessa's case she'd sustained a haematoma, hence the need for her butt pads.

[@l.m.518]

I’m hoping that Morgan will be with the French next year to skate and if Vanessa will have to get a new partner I think Vanessa is so brave ; left home at a young age to seek her fortune; that took courage..

[@elizabethebarkley6319]

Vanessa,why do you leave Morgan on the ice when you all are finish skating?Honestly,it looks bad!!when one looks at the other skaters,they begin together and when they are finish skating they come back in together.With you,you just leave him there.It looks as though there is some psychological feud going on between the two of you.Morgan seems to be a very humble and affectionate guy.I still love you both.When things are done in Love and Peace Life becomes a breeze.Your performances will be stronger and excellent.God Bless.❤️❤️❤️😑🙏🙏🙏Remember the world is looking at everything you do

[@Martica2]

I simply adore Vanessa & Morgan. Elizabeth Ebarkley like you I was so disappointed in Vanessa's behaviour especially after the Team Pairs SP - Morgan looked so embarrassed when she flew off the ice and left him. All partnerships have issues but whether you're on a Red Carpet or at any high visibility event you have to be so careful how you behave.

[@hettiecarries6450]

Which skating event was this? I said the same thing in their last interview with Blade Boys. When you are having diffetences, their are cameras and eyes specificially focused on you. Careful how you treat one another in public.

[@garnettehenderson5761]

Also pointing a finger and getting up and storming off even though he was mad ignore him and let him have it in private that looked really bad

[@vivienarmstrong7268]

Vanessa was born in Canada. She moved with her family to Bermuda until the age of 10, then moved to the US where she attended elementary, high school and learned to skate with her twin sister Melyssa representing the Washington Figure Skating Club and then NISA for the UK. Vanessa was home-grown in the USA! She moved to France to skate with Yannick and received her citizenship in time to skate in her first Olympics in 2010!

[@mireillebvaval7280]

Congratulations Vanessa's mom.

[@bensmitten2702]

After watching a number of interviews with this duo, I would love to hear Morgan speak uninterrupted by V. very annoying, especially knowing English is his second language, she is a little overpowering and forceful, be humble. He is such a beautiful skater.

[@mrsnet]

Ben Smitten Venessa AND Morgan are great skaters, which. Is why this TEAM has qualified for the Olympics.

[@bensmitten2702]

i absolutely agree both are exceptional skaters, she is beautiful. But it is merely an observation that in the moment struck me as stifling to Morgan.

[@louisebordenave7392]

Ben Smitten I think she's so use to helping him find English words during some their interviews and gets excited and knows she can get answers out faster. Morgan is more confident in his English now and I have seen him in some cases break right in. Vanessa and Morgan are so beautiful together. simply 'art on ice'! She said she made a good choice choosing him as her partner, I agree as they are a dynamic duo, they have brought a new and fresh face to ice skating, awesome new style no one has done before, someone might try to copy it but V and M, the French pairs will always be known as the pioneers of this bold new move. My sincere desire is that they win the Gold at Olympics 2018! I simply love these two beautiful young people, not just, beautiful outside, but I truly believe they're beautiful inside.

[@meme-vn1fm]

I totally agree with you. In French interviews Vanessa talks a lot less. Morgan in this interview had to check to make sure 'careful' was the right word. And his body language didn't seem to mind Vanessa talking more than him. I think English speakers want to know more about Morgan and we are frustrated because we can't.....just not a lot out there on the guy. I do wish she didn't tell everyone he was nervous. Wishing them luck in the Olympics 2018.

[@louisebordenave7392]

me me They seem to be so open and honest, but they must remember their opponents possibly are listening and let's face it in any competition you don't want your competitors to know certain things about you, it tends to give them an edge, I think.

[@ednasheffield3352]

Hard to understand Vanessa. She could slow it down just a tad. Love her though!

[@lhaire]

I disagree. But, you see how she immediately defers to him when each new question is asked? So, I think you are just seeing what you want to see. Secondly, they are being interviewed in English and his English is shaky.

[@evelynwashere13]

Lorenzo Haire yeah, it's the opposite for interviews in french. He'll look over at her to see if she was to answer, which she almost never does, and he'll take the lead.

[@MrQbenDanny]

Morgan, You deserve a higher level of partner, with stretched lines, one foot landings, speed, strength and artistry. Good job mate, you work overtime making her look good.

[@arseniablu859]

MrQbenDanny your stupid. She makes him look good too.you just don’t want to see the black Queen skate,

[@34Sugga]

MrQbenDanny you're crazy she is the better skater. Morgan has dropped her so much, however they compliment each other. They have amazing chemistry together.

[@dorism9883]

What a jerk

[@louisebordenave7392]

MrQbenDanny I'm the case of figure skating both skaters HAVE to skate well, compliment each other. The sport can be dangerous with the throws, lifts, death spiral etc. so anyone out there has been trained for years to be on that ice! Vanessa said in an interview that she made a good choice in choosing Morgan as her partner, I agree, because they are both excellent skaters, the judges has deemed them as such, and they are now headed for the 2018 Olympics. Sure hope they win the Gold! He can't win without her and she can't win without him.

[@louiselove8212]

MrQbenDanny disagree with your comments

[@ameliajakob1199]

Vanesa English hard to be understood.But Cipras English easily to be understood.

[@mariebridge266]

I think she was born in Bermuda and grew up part of her childhood, then went to Canada, then France. So she knows the English before she learnt French.

[@junejames3516]

Born in Canada, moved to Bermuda until the age of 10, lived in Virginia and then Maryland in the US prior to moving to France. Vanessa only learned French while living in France in 2007!

[@4daluvofnikki]

Her English is just fine. Morgan's English is questionable.

[@excalibur1812]

Amelia Jakob I understand her just fine.

[@louisebordenave7392]

Marie Bridge She was born in Canada, after birth Mom flew back to Bermuda, later moved to US,some years later V moved to France and started skating for France, before that she skated for England as she also has British citizenship. I read and heard this info during her inteviews. Sure hope Vanessa and Morgan win at 2018 Olympics!
