This is 11 year old Aurora Abraham from Palm Beach FL competing in the 2012 Jr. National Juvenile Finals. This young skater does a fantastic performance skating to Jackie singing "Lovers'. It was modified somewhat to fit her routine. I've been in contact with Aurora's mother Cheri Abraham and here is what she said about Aurora's performance: Our daughter, turned 11 just 2 weeks before Nationals, and changed music 6 weeks prior to Nationals, wanting to have something "different" from anyone else. Jackie's song "Lover's" put Aurora to the top. We were elated with her best skate ever and her ultimate medalling with 4th place.

That was great to see a Figure Skater using Jackie's song.

I have been watching amateur and professional ice skating since Peggy Fleming won the gold medal. I'm going way back! I think this was my introduction to classical crossover. Although at that time no one knew what the music was other than an alternative to pop or pure classical. In the past few years, skaters are using more and more pop in their skating. I really hate to see that happening. I'm happy Jackie's music was featured.

Hi, I am Aurora's Aunt, We are all thrilled that Aurora chose Jackie's music for aurora's performance. Aurora said she felt like she was part of the music, and that little Jackie's voice was like an instrument! Thank you all for your comments, they will be forwarded to Aurora and her mother, Cheri. most sincerely, Elisa

I'm waiting to see what Aurora does with Nella Fantasia. Talk about a song that's ready for the ice! I can almost see her entire choreography as I listen to it. Go for it, little lady. You and Jackie will soar!
