And he made it fun as well. Seems ice skating has lost some of the personality and artistry it once had and now the only important thing is landing a quad axel.
Best. Footwork. Ever! I saw him on his retirement tour. His first skate, skated round rink once, then at on end he grabbed a rope, swung out over end zone, swung back over ice, let go, dropped about six feet, and immediately did a triple axel! He was off and gone and the rest of the crew never looked back. We were about fours from ringside, I got my tickets as soon as they went on sale!! It was wonderful, fun and so entertaining! This group was and still is the best at all around technique AND entertainment!! Incomparable! 👏👏💗💛😂😂👵🇺🇸
@@dariapoklemba2150 I'm sorry. I should have been more clear. I've been a fan of Scott Hamilton forever. For this video, I meant the Stars on Ice skater. I didn't enjoy later groups nearly as much.
@Química I know! I still hunt up routines like Browning's Brick House, Chairmen, Witt's The Only One, Torvill and Dean's Hat Trick (LOVE that one so much!). Paul Wiley was really good too.
3/3/2022 It's still amazing to watch Scott. He was a true crowd pleaser. And the song, OMG...I haven't heard that in over 20 years. Great memories watching Scott and listening to Hair.
Scott Hamilton was an incredible skater, a genius! I am 66 years old, and when I was 19 I lived in Montecito Ca. in a mansion on the beach. I was lucky enough to have a job with Michael Butler, the producer of the musical HAIR! Michael had to be one of the most down to earth gentleman I have ever known. yeah... I'm braggin, but those were some awesome days, a very long time ago...
What talent - to do a complete wardrobe change while skating a great performance. I can't even imagine trying to zip those bell bottoms while doing the sit spin at 2:20. Amazing.
I had to go back and rewatch to figure out how and when he did that! Amazing! Scott, you are awesome. What an amazing costume change on top of just Top Notch skating. Still in awe about the bell bottoms. WOW.
I'm viewing this on 7th of March 2022!!! I didn't even see him zip those bell bottoms, till I read your comment. He's simply the best, better than all the rest!!!
Holy cow!!!! Had to go back and watch as well. I had no idea and I’ve probably seen this dozens of times if not more. I saw the rest of the costume change but totally missed that. Still amazing me after all these years!! What a consummate athlete and performer!!!
I attended the taping of one of the Stars on Ice shows. Scott Hamilton was the Master of Ceremonies. He has a wicked sense of humor & is incredibly entertaining. We also share a Birthday. Hurray!! He is & always will be one of my favorite skaters.
I saw Scott perform in Sun Valley. He is such a Phenomenal skater! He skates with ease and grace while being a grand showman! No one has come close to matching his all-around talent, in my opinion. I am thankful he is staying healthy.
Best performance ever on ice by any skater……my respects. I can’t walk on flat ground at times without tripping and Scott Hamilton does back flips on blades on ice while changing his attire. A gifted performer.
I was at the Stars on Ice show at the Palace of Auburn Hills(Michigan) when I saw this program, I think we had 2nd or 3rd row seats--TOTALLY AWESOME ! I bought a t-shirt with a picture of Scott in costume on it, and an autographed photo ; (no, didn't meet him) but will always have great memory and souveniers. Scott's STILL the greatest! ♥. The Palace of Auburn Hills has since closed :-(
Got Hamilton you are the greatest and nobody will ever touch you and even with the great skaters and the world in 2022 they don't even come close to the things that you could do. I love watching these. I saw Dorothy Hamill skating person a long time ago and she was the closest I've ever seen to anyone with your ability. Rock on brother
Scott you will Always be the BEST! It is a great treat to watch these performances over and over. I am so glad I got to see the stars on ice in 1996. BEST of the BEST!
Men's skating was so much more enjoyable to watch before the advent of the "quad" jump. Now so many male skaters are jumping machines with no form or substance to their programs and when a near perfect technition like Jason Brown pops up all you hear from the bobbleheaded announcers (Tara Lipinski & Johnny Weir) is "but he doesn't have a quad"!!!
Candace Crocker I agree. Jason Brown has perfect technique and you can tell he really dosnt care about his score. He just wants to have fun. That's what makes him a pleasure to watch.
"What was really funny is that as I got older all those guys who called me a sissy in junior high school wanted me to be their best friend because they wanted to meet all the girls that I knew in figure skating." Scott Hamilton :-)

I love him. Even if he couldn’t even stand up on that ice in skates, I’d love him. He is always humble and kind……
As far as I'm concerned he is the best figure skater.
Scott was beyond a great skater a true entertainer!
amen
He has the comfortable, easy grace that only comes with complete mastery. A phenomenal skater and performer ❤️

So glad these videos are on RUclips. The skaters from the mid-90s were the best...and Scott Hamilton was the leader of the pack. :)
Scott won gold medals 3x b4 this. He started in early 80s.

Really, he's doing two routines at once.
Scotty, Phillipe, and Evgeny were not afraid to poke fun at themselves………and we loved it!

We also share a Birthday. Hurray!! He is & always will be one of my favorite skaters.
Love Scott Hamilton! The best ice showman ever!

I always looked forward to seeing him on that ice. Made me and my family smile every time!
I saw this on TV in '96 - and I have never forgotten it. Love him!
Scott Hamilton, head and shoulders above the rest.
Wow Scott. Just wow. Sending you a special hug,
Scottie was the only one who could pull something like this off and do right. Thank you
Scottie for being who you are.
Scott loves to pick hard songs as a challenge & masters every one of them to perfection. Awesome jobs Scott

no one ever had as much fun as scott hamilton on the ice. He was--and is--a class act.
BEST MALE SKATER IN THE WORLD+ENTERTAINER OF COURSE
My all time favorite!!!
l love Scott . I just can't believe how easy he made the back flip look and how he worked into his programs so perfectly
Scott you will Always be the BEST! It is a great treat to watch these performances over and over. I am so glad I got to see the stars on ice in 1996. BEST of the BEST!

Scott Hamilton is not only the best entertainer on ice but the nicest person ever
My favorite skater. Remember watching this on TV then. So fun to watch.

I LOVE you, Scott Hamilton! I saw this performance live and will never forget it. My love to you. Thank you for posting😊
I remember those years. Scott is STILL my favorite skater. Thank you for uploading this.
Those dang flips of his still make me smile
I used to watch this with my mom when I was 4! The nostalgia is hitting hard!!
A true MASTER OF HIS CRAFT.
SAW IN PERSON.... BRAVO SCOTT.🕊🇺🇲💕
Life affirming! I could watch this for days!!! So much energy and his moves were on point! Plus, is this not an awesome song or what?!
He was just the coolest dude to me when I was a kid!
My favorite male skater I love me some SH!!
You got that right!! I'm sooo glad they are on. I dont watch skating any more they just aren't the same.
My favorite performance of his, he was in time simply the best
In my head I morph into Scott and I'm just as good! It's amazing.
Scott is the best ever!!!
Ice Dancers now days can't hold a candle to Scott Hamilton he was great the best from his time to shine till now...
never tire of watching him!
Fantastic Scott, love you love you love you
They really had reached a pinnacle back then. This is some of Hamilton's sloppiest work and it's STILL superior to the current crop.
He had testicular cancer b4 this and survived 2 brain tumors. He can fall on his butt as far as I'm concerned. I remember when he was like in the 80s.
If that's sloppy, I'd like to see the work he's actually proud of.

He is an absolute force on the ice... The speed and power he skates with is incredible and he will always be my favorite male skater.
he is as close to perfect as any man could be!
Such a showman! I absolutely love him!
My special dedication ❤️
You are the greatest skater I’ve ever seen thank you Scott thank you thank you🥀
My mom told me she used to go skiing with him back when she was a ski instructor ^^
I remember watching this performance live. Loved watching it again!
So amazing! Always so fun to watch...
Scott Hamilton: pure class.

"What was really funny is that as I got older all those guys who called me a sissy in junior high school wanted me to be their best friend because they wanted to meet all the girls that I knew in figure skating." Scott Hamilton :-)
