@l337ness555 that doesnt mean he copied it..... its a TYPE OF DANCING! like the salsa... ok... just cause its new doesnt mean he stoll it cause you saw it on bgt first
@jimmjimm6699 I actually didn't say that at all. WHat I was implying was that this song and dance style, even some of the moves, were used by a boy on BGT FIRST, before this commercial was made. SImply implying it may have been the inspiration for the idea.
@l337ness555 That british boy is called George Sampson and 1. David Elsewhere performed this waaay before George Sampson was on BGT and 2. David Elsewhere owns George Sampson its stupid to even make a comparison.
Yeah and remember, he also played in the movie Xanadu. That was pretty contemporary. Beside, he doesn't talk dirty either. He's a gentleman. I'm turning 49 this year and sing with a group called, "The Nostalgia SIngers" I have always enjoyed the older music because it is so much more meaningful. My dad sang all the greats with me, plus taught me songs in many different languages. I value the older music and dancing, but am always open to tasteful new things as well.
WTF, WTF, WTF!!! Gene Kelly was not a dancing buffoon on film! How can Volkswagen create such freakin' nonsense & call this creative? This is a cheap way to sell a freakin' car .Kelly seemed like a hella cool guy but even he would have said, " WTF, man?"
@hellasexy22 No offense, but did you just find out that the advertising business is about stealing and selling? Gene Kelly was a very talented and often very difficult to work with...I think Gene would LOVE any new style of dance, especially a video so seamless. He loved innovation and I disagree with your assessment that nothing should ever be remixed or sampled. Gene would've taken the opportunity to see if he could conquer it when in that shape; he liked money too, ya know! I love the film!
@hellasexy22 lol why so much hate against the video? I think it's great work of art, it's interpreted in to a modernized version, a classic portrayed in to a contemporary work of art! So what if you don't like that music?
This is absolutely inspirational. For one, David's dancing is the most expressive solo art form I have ever experienced. And when combined with appropriate visual FX and a clever concept, the end product is intensely moving. This is creative video production at it's best.
@kitekido So glad you enjoyed it also. David is an astonishing performer, and the editing is seamless. Love it!! So glad y'all enjoy the man, too. The music behind is Mint Royale. Thanks for your comments and visit!
n'awww i remember this advert >< everytime i heard it come on i would run down stairs and dance too it :L i always thought that if there was some talent show on tv then i would go on and dance to this song :L BUT THEN BLOODY GEORGE SAMPSON STOLE IT ¬¬ One of the best adverts ever made :)
