[@paulagiliberto7386]

@Almira Izumchensky So? I don"t like her, I suffer watching her dance. Too much force to pirouettes, needlessly. She is closed and not clean but ballet is en dehors (turn out). She is out of my Pantheón. And I don't care about what some think: millions of flies can be wrong (💩 doesn"t taste good, but they eat it 😄)

@Almira Izumchensky Goodness gracious! Why all the vitriol? Giliberto began his (or her, I’m sorry, I can’t tell by the picture or name) first comment with, “I think . . . “. I did not find it offensive. Lots of people who are well schooled in the art of ballet do not care for Osipova’s style. That’s what makes the world go around. . . different strokes for different folks! Personally, one of my favorite KZbin videos of Osipova is the 2nd Act of Giselle, with Carlos Acosta.

It was so mesmerising to watch Marianela's perform. It had a certain flair, a elegant but cheeky vibe to the whole performance especially when she looks back and gives a flying kiss with that smile.

Definitely prefer Nunez - embodies a feeling of flirtatious, charismatic energy. The music is energetic, but not out of control. Whoever did the filming for Osipova was off so bad. The way the camera whips around does a disservice to her dancing, makes her look flung around. Still, I feel the orchestration is a little too fast as well to really feel the character is conveying much. I love her energy, but her face is cheesing it up so bad, bless. As for Zakharova, she feels too pulled back from the character and something about her port de bras is awkward. Maybe I'm just not fan of the choreo, ahaha.

My heart belongs to Nela (I think I say that a lot), but they're all fantastic. Interesting to see just how different the choreography is---pique vs. tombe/inside pirouette on that first turn, whether the connecting step is pas de chat or grand pas de chat. You remember the big choreographic beats like those enormous sisonnes and the millions of sequential pirouettes at the end and want to think they define the variation ("Kitri's Act 1 variation"=enormous sisonnes) but even the two Russians have some interesting differences. Thanks for all of these! And loved Nela blowing a kiss to Basil---like you actually have time for extras in a variation that must feel like you've just been shot out of a canon!

Nela is in my opinion a notch below nobody

[@ballerinaslife6119]

Marinela is the best Kitri

[@andreasgattiker9831]

Totally agree

[@sedwards2207]

Born to do it.

[@MakiSmolRoll]

Nunez is literally the PERFECT Kitri!! 😭❤️

[@a.a.2573]

I love Nuñez's expressions! So *on pointe*

[@Vizslamum54321]

They’re all wonderful in their own right but Marianela Nunez’s form and control are just a wonder to behold. And that she makes what I can only imagine is fantastically difficult look like a breeze as she maintains such a beautiful smile throughout her entire performance brings her to a whole other level of spectacular♥️. Bravo!

[@pinellafranich6007]

Definitely Osipova in this role tailor made for her.

[@Marta44339]

Osipova is Kitri. Her speed, ballon, elevation and joy make her the reigning Kitri of current dancers. I like Nunez, but there's no contest in my opinion. I don't like Zakharova at all in this role.

[@pinellafranich6007]

@@Marta44339 neither do I like Zakharova in this role.Thanks for your comment.

[@carmen9330]

Agreed, she totally owns Kitri!

[@НатальяДжавадян]

Н.Осипова!👍👏💐💐💐Очень круто !!!

[@tatum.shoptaugh]

She has incredible energy! 🔥

[@philzmusic8098]

Natalia is light and airborne. Marianela is connected to the floor on pointe; she also has the most fun. Svetlana disappointed me for some indefinable reason, but she is of course a wonderful dancer. If I were Basilio I'd want to marry Marianela!

[@ЕленаЗлыгостьева]

Осипова - огонь !!!! Какая энергетика !!! И техника у нее великолепная !!! Она лучшая !!!!

[@НатальяКарпински]

Осипова это совершенство:все в меру. Смотришь и радуешься. У двух других балерин кажется, что руки живут сами по себе.

[@vesjolojavdovauser-gq1oy6lt4q]

Осипова бесподобна , игрива , кокетлива , энергична . Любоваться ее танцем можно бесконечно

[@ЛенаСатонкина-л4я]

Ростом маловата ,по мне так Захарова лучше.

[@ОлесяОлеся-ь6и]

Осипова музыку не слышит. Или это такое наложение музыки на видео. Две другие балерины выглядят в танце круче.

[@lanapetersen2287]

зато все написавшие комменты на английском, хвалят испанку... Ну дак конечно... кого угодно только не русских прим

[@СветланаМиронова-й4ц]

Каждая из них по своему великолепна и красива

[@beautyemotions106]

Elles sont toutes magnifiques, mais Svetlana a une élégance sublime unie à une expressivité naturelle que je n'arrive pas à décrire.

[@chikuuu4456]

i love osipova, but nuñez wins this one for sure. it’s like she was born to dance this role, her musicality, performance, expressions, acting are amazing, not to mention her outstanding technique (although they are all incredibly talented in this regard)
