Naturally Gene's version would be better. He had that swagger to him, people from the current generation wouldn't have that so it will always be an imitation and not a projection of themselves.
i preffered the parts with Gene, tho Usher's were good. Usher didnt really tap as much as Gene and the sound of the lyrics in Gene's were also more to my liking. im not criticizing, just critiquing :D or however you spell that one word lol
usher cant tap... trust me i know him... but it is still a good tribute to a legend... now.... best be glad michael didnt do one for all you kelly fans... he would have eaten him alive !!!!
Gino, thank you, I thoroughly enjoyed this video. For those of you thinking he was even trying to do a comparison, you obviously do not appreciate music and artistry. It was a nice tribute by Usher; not designed or intended to be compared. This song is a classic. Some people... Trying enjoying without criticizing. Again, thank you, Gino!
LOL IRL, if a white cop sees a black man dancing like that in the rain, he would had gotten his ass beat and put in jail for either public intoxication or black people crazy syndrome.
Okay, to everyone who keeps accusing me of not making this video, when I said I made it I met I put the videos together to make this one video! Obviously I wasn't there recording the videos. Come on use some common sense!
I actually have respect for Usher now... but after listening to usher for a little, then gene, I was like WOAH, what a difference! gene has a richer voice, but that's not the point. they have different styles of singing, and everyone should be happy that usher actually made this.
Know what? This guy'd better stick to his stupid R&B and try not to crap such a beautiful song. This aint a tribute. Its disgusting to even think that he can emulate the legendary Gene Kelly.
@Privat3Ryan Lay off the guy. Usher's no Gene Kelly--who is?--but he did a fine job, and I quite like the idea that members of my generation might come to know the old greats by introduction through contemporary artists. What could be wrong with that?!
I think it's beautiful and why all the remarks about "usher wouldn't have been allowed to walk away," and "he couldn't serve Gene Kelly tea?" I'm a huge fan of this movie and Gene Kelly and saw only respect from Usher. c'mon people...show some respect!
OMG!, he added pop to this!, BAD IDEA USHER,you might have inspired teenagers, but you haven't fooled me or, the people who liked the gene kelly version
why you guys even comparing usher to gene kelly... get real , legend vs usher, show some respect. the real question is whether usher should have done it in the first place, he needs to stick to his ghetto jungle music,, who knows his intentions.
thank you for posting this video...... but isn't usher someone that helps you to find a seat in the dark at a movie theater?...... didn't see much tap dancing other than Gene Kelly's....
I hate Usher's singing. It's simply awful. I don't like most of these modern singers vocal performances. The only one I liked and liked to the bone was Katharine McPhee (and Chriss Gotti) "I've got you under my skin". That's it. And I don't understand what's to like about those r'n'b singers of today anyway. They sound like a worn out cassette, voice coming on and off. That's no singing, that's fraud! And I'm a professional musican and producer, so I know talent when I see it.
There is a video of Dancing in the rain that Youtuber " Breton2Robert " posted with Supertramp music. The video is called " Its raining (Dancing in the rain ) Again. Gene Kelly is perfectly timed with Supertramp music...Wonderful piece of video
I think both do this very well and Usher has much respect for Gene cause he even said it wasn't easy but Gene was so talented that he made it look so easy but when he tried it for the tribute he said the steps are so much harder than they look. I'm glad Usher has respect for the talents who came before him.
@CreaganFhithich ...for real, i'm not black nor caucasian...I'm not from Gene Kelly's era nor 2nd generations after him...but Kelly's more original than, Usher keep your daytime job!
I like Usher but u gota realize this is what Gene Kelly did best and his greatest performance with a 104 temp with a coat that kept shrinking. Usher was just honoring the best dancer in history.
DUDE...U did a brilliant job .....first time i so this ...good .....my hair on the back of my head are raising.... It means that i like it ..... see usher did a piece like that ... DAMN!!
You facking motherfacker, don't ever pull this shit again... You just raped kelly's and ushers performance. You dumb fack... You just ruined easter!!!! Bastard!!
It's alright, though the transition between the two clips from point 2:17 could have gone smoother. Is Ushers made from parts of the original set in Gene Kellys clip?
they are great in diffrent ways
