@b1naqm28 I know. That's called sarcasm, it means you say one thing, but mean another, or you say something, but your not THAT serious. And you call me idiot...
@Allinmoderation88 Gene Anthony Ray was an awesome self taught dancer. In the 70s and 80's we really did not question his sexuality. Both men and women wore the short shorts and the athletic knee socks. If you don't believe google old pictures of the NBA and see how short their shorts were.
i am not 100% certain if Gene Anthony Ray(Leroy) was gay, but I "think" he was. He died of AIDS, or an AIDS related illness a while ago. Just because that was how he dies does not make him gay, but that is what killed him.
This was a GREAT movie, and an OK TV show. The movie really showed NYC at the time, and boy, was it a DUMP and kinda scary place back in the late 70's and early 80's. Not the NYC that there is today by no means.
Not that NYC does not have bad places now, not like the
@brounbuck Gene Anthony was infected with HIV which as we know from education that it does not always lead to AIDS. Anyway the cause of death was actually a stroke but depending on his viral load he may have been able to live longer if he was not battling addictions to drugs.
It was such a great series. Loved watching it as a kid. Still have the cassette tape of the soundtrack. I remember practicing my 'cool moves' in my garden while listening to it lol!
I do LOVE the old Fame songs by FAR! The New Fame 2009 is ALL young kids from High School (YUCK) NOT college kids ! Maybe the new young people my go and see the ALL NEW FAME 2009 BUT the old folk who REALLY like older songs and tv show much better! When the first Fame came out was much better by far! New Fame 2009 and the move can't out match the original at no means!
Wanna see a REALLY different version of this song? Taped 11 years ago but just now found & uploaded, It's SUSAN BOYLE singing Fame--no backup, no dancing (no room) but she really belts it out--for real!
Why they have to copy all great movies from back than and transfer them to this time.Dunno if the new movie is good or bad but I know which version I prefer for sure.Fame from the 80s!
it's because they have nothing to say. WHICH is why the new movie (s) is (are) alwayse lofter.THIS movie changed the way a whole generation was moving into music and ultimately into a fast changing world, getting out of the seventies and into the eighties. The new movie..what does it mean? what does it give to the audience but for a few well-danced ballets and in-tune-sung songs? forget my english anyway...
the original is without a doubt the better version. but i don't completely dislike the 2009 version either. I think they could have done more to live up to the original, but i enjoyed watching it :]
Too bad Erica Gimple's version was never released on an album. It is just as good as Irene's. The difference between the two performances is just like the diffrences between the original movie and series. One is more raw combined with unbelievable performing talent, the other more polished combined with unbelievable performing talent.
Debbie Allen's sister is actress Phylicia Rashad, who was born Phylicia Ayers-Allen before she married Ahmad Rashad, better known as "Mrs. Huxtable" from The Cosby Show.
i was 15 when this was on 1982 and it was a better time, better tv,better music, best looking men, loved the show and looked forward to the songs every week. brings back nice memories.
amazing. i wish i were born in this time, to be able to watch them more often and more closely. i think the songs, the style, the environment are great. definitely a different generation
Looking at this makes you yearn for the modern dance movement of the 80's. Hip hop may have a little bit more precision. But this updated version of ballet possessed so much energy and easy grace.
Wow, I met Debbie Allen in the '80's (1984) and Gene Anthony Ray (Leroy) in the '90's at a club. He turned it out dancing. I met Erica Gimpel (Coco) several times in the millennium. All of them are so nice, humble and dynamic.!!!
I wonder why none of these actors had any Fame beyond these series. Leroy and Sorosky were so great!. I remember watching this episode on a hotel hall with the rest of my colleagues from school in our End of Course trip!!! Great Memories.
Minus Debbie Allen. She seriously multitasked after "Fame". She is well known. Lori Singer went on to better things in the 80's after fame. Janet Jackson? No explanation needed. LOL.
How to make a school like form beautiful: find your natural variating movement and choose from it the forms that are roughly the same as the goal: according to common sense here, according to the sense of atmospheres there, etc.
Thinking of dance, reaching for some outer form isn't so beautiful. One ought to express what one is and show others the form of that. It is quite different. It is one of the things that the Buddhists mean by "emptiness (= the experienced reality) is form". The first mentioned outer form is referred by "Form (alone, without it arising from the experienced reality) is emptiness (= worthless)".
Probably a sign of my age, but I really want the rainbow striped v-neck top one of the guys is wearing. Ah, the 1980's, where fashion was a far from guilty secret! :)
Me too! I got it assigned yesterday and I haveto learn all the lyrics before i leave for camp this morning! mY CAMP is really intense acting, singing, and dancing for professionals. AH GOD! i can only the begiinning part so far.... OH SHOOT I HAVE 20 MINUTES! C YA!
thumbs up if you never even bothered listening to the remake :)
