  • they are great in diffrent ways

  • Man i really miss old Usher :/

  • A touching tribute. I enjoyed "both" versions. No need to slam either. They are a product of different generations.

  • one of my favorite Musicals!! You really "showed" out on this colaboration.....keep it up

  • Awesome...Just Awesome..Great tribute

  • Many will pay tribute to Gene Kelly, but never get to his feet.

  • Man, I love the transition of Usher To Gene Kelly.... This video is NICE!

  • wonderful

  • good enough...good job make more!!!!

  • Because of this Usher, I have a new found respect for you.

  • Kelly's was better, but I'm glad Usher paid tribute.

  • im ACTUALLY impressed. but no one can top the original.

  • nice job

  • In my eyes, Usher is the equivalent of Gene Kelley, but onlt in a different generation.

    They are both equal im my eyes, but it IS true that Kelley did this in one take with a fever.

  • I want to see ushers part alone , like i want to hear his voice ( he took a modern voice into the song , like singing style )

  • Gene Kelly is better... even the rain is better.. :))

  • but Gene Kelly dances better

  • i only like the usher part

  • lol

  • this song makes me think of the old ultra violence.

  • I like what you did at the end.

  • 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.

  • He didn't do that great a job, but I still need to give Usher a ton of credit for trying to do his on version of a masterpiece. Kudos Usher.

  • this made me smile:)

  • lol that was brilliant usher um.... cant explain it words or i just dont want to xxxx luv ya usher

  • 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 !!!!

  • Yaaay..Usher..You proved Yourself a`classic'![like Gene Kelly]

  • 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!

  • Usher dance looks good ! xD

  • 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.

  • now how did you make this? you'd have to know usher to do that..

  • 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!

  • @lilcolatarci Right On, man! I dig what was posted and I tip my fedora to you.....great work!!!

  • Ehh... no.

  • 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.

  • Hommage...

  • usher made a terrible version of an amazing song, but i gotta give him credit for doing this tribute to gene kelly

  • Ok guys, obviously Usher is no Gene Kelly but come on, we can at least appreciate that he appreciates Gene.

  • i like them both,

    Gene Kelly's performance was more entertaining to watch and to listen to.

    Usher's was... i dunno, but it was still good

  • Pretty weird listen to Usher sing a song like this one, but its amazing! I like Gene Kelly's version but this one is nice. Great job!

  • i still love to jump in puddles like he does @4:10 . gene kelly is the best x

  • am no... this isnt workin with Usher, this is Gene Kelly's thing rather...

  • Fuck usher.

  • Goog god it's a black guy !

  • ahhah adorable :)

  • 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!

  • They should have had like 20 cops for Usher with tazer batons.

  • Yeah like a cop would just let Usher walk away in those days xP

  • 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

  • miserable

  • 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.

  • did you produce this clip or were you the director?

  • 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....

    it's ok, we know you didn't make the video....

  • But i did make the video, what makes u think i didnt?

  • @hollandjune2008 usher is the guy singing haha and dude just enjoy the love song <33

  • What next, T Pain doing Rosemary Clooney?

  • 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.

  • The fact that Gene Kelly did this with a fever, shocks me. RIP Mr. Kelly

  • Its Raining (Dancing In the Rain) Again, From Breton2Robert is and absolute surprise

  • gene kelly was a dancer from heaven he was truly amazing .

  • 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.

  • not everything is a competition people. that's why the word is tribute. not challenge.

  • @fr0std14 I think this argument started with something like this: Amazing, fuck Gene Kelly, Usher owns him.

  • usher. lol, hes lucky to even be able to serve tea for gene kelly in the 40s much mor ethan dance like him

  • @tastyscabs Read my words again. I agree with you. Just stated that Usher fanboys started that argument in this way.

  • It's not about whose is better, or even if Usher

    did a good job. The fact is that Usher felt

    compelled to offer this tribute to Kelly, and

    you don't see that very much with todays

    musical stars. Kudos Usher!

  • That was great!!!!

  • gene kelly's is possibly the most amazing dancer right there with o'connor and mj. usher did so good!

  • There's no way Usher did a better job. Gene Kelly danced this with an 103 degree fever, and he did it in one take.

    Gene Kelly OWNS.

  • You sir, OWN.

  • um... Thank you. (But I'm a girl.)

  • @CreaganFhithich ya 103, very rare anyone is willing to do that and still get it PERFECT in one take, truly amazing

  • @CreaganFhithich AMEN TO THAT!!!

  • @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!

  • -Lame.

    -Nice try though.

  • lame

  • Usher did a great tribute to Gene Kelly and his performance was great. But Gene Kelly is WAY better...plus he is a legend!

  • PROPS to USH !

    who better to do this piece again.. [=

    dont get me wrong though .. GK is incredible !

  • Lovely!!!!!!!...so well done, CONGRATS!!!!

  • both are good. but still usher sings goody good:)

  • nett allerdings kann u gene nicht das wassser reichen

  • I LOVE both artists.

  • G K better at dancing, but i prefer U voice

  • urgay.

  • Usher did a good job and he looks like he had fun doing it, but this is definitely Gene Kelly's song. I think this song was Gene Kelly's best.

  • nice try

  • usher can sing alright i guess but gene dominates him and plus i wanna see usher even attempt to tap dance as awesome as gene kelly

  • OK never mind Gene is better ;)

  • i think like Usher better, but I only heard the original just now, sooo....

  • tapsiin tapsiiin xd

  • nice job dude, especially at the end

  • i doubt the cop would have let usher walk away

  • @tastyscabs ...exactly..he would of tased him right on the spot!

  • 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.

  • I couldn't agree with you more except I'm more partial to Fred Astaire. But good job on knowing your trivia too haha.

  • usher sucks compared to gene kelly.. -.-

  • 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!!

  • Man, I think you did a great job of honoring both of their performances. Don't let the negativity get to you. Thanks for posting this.

  • Beautiful song :)

  • Usher did a GREAT job- lovely voice , but this will always be Gene's song and dance!! Thanks for sharing really enjoyed !!

  • Indeed. I thought somebody like him would punk it up. (I don't mean black. I mean R&B). He did amazing

  • very good ,screw that doosh

  • thank you

  • sorry you didn't like it?

  • @lilcolatarci i think its good

  • Very cool Usher!!!! You are a great artist!!!

  • 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?

  • ushers a good singer and all but come on no one can beat the original , mint royals pretty good but still gatta love the original

  • It's okay but u can't beat the original. Mint Royale's techno remix is the only real cover/sample worth it's own credit.

  • worst editing ever

  • Great job!! very enjoyable to watch 2 talented dancers together. This is one of my favorite, classic movie music scenes. Thanks for sharing:D

  • Usher is talented

  • deadly! :]

  • Wow you did a good job

  • THIS IS AWESOME!!! Good job matching the clips up.

  • THIS IS AWESOME!!! Good job matching the clips up.

  • THIS IS AWESOME!!! Good job matching the clips up.
