I rewatched the ballet dvds that i have, as well as some on youtube. :) I still love:

1. Nathalie Nordquist in Swan Lake. She's the best Odette i've seen. Even better than my Kirov favourites.
2. Giselle pas de deux in the last act! Perfect romantic ballet!
3. Altynai Asylmuratova. She's retired, but she's the best in ballets like Les Sylphide and The Leaves are Fading.
4. Larissa Lezhnina. Still dancing into almost mid life.
5. Yulia Makhalina. Known for Odette. Nice long limbs too!
6. Gelsey Kirkland. Not our generation, but the best in her era! Need i say more?
7. Evgenia Obraztsova. Princess-like. Perfect in Tchaikovsky's PDD!
8. Shoko Nakamura. Like Yulia, long limbs. Asian too!
9. Natalia Osipova. Her ballon is to die for. Her grand jetes are even higher than most men!
10. Bolotin! (Forgot his 1st name) I can't forget him as James in La Sylphide! Perfect batterie!

All very talented people dancing amazing choreography. :) Stirs up passion when i watch something i love! Good for the soul. ;)
