An American in Paris put to Pop Music (Part 2 of 3)

[prettymexy1]

I appreciate it.... but the whole time, I just wanted to hear the original symphony.:( Especially while Leslie danced.

[citizenonemillion]

dreadful... just someone's attempt to steal someone elses art and creativity.

[ServoChannel]

As a huge fan of musicals, especially this amazing film, I just wanted to say you've made an awesome video. The haters of this video are just trolls who don't like the music you used.

[VMKLemons]

LOL it actually works together

[eviona111]

This is so fun! I love old musicals, and the choreography put to Kanye et all is lovely, and fresh. Put a smile on my face. :) The "Alpha step" etc. with the ballet dancers on pointe is quite cool to watch.

[whatsyourpoint]

Gorillaz fits pretty well!

[bettygoodbody]

if this had been the music, the movie never would have been made. each to their own places, this is like putting the ice cream on the steak, doesn't fit together. it is like wearing a tee shirt with a tuxedo pant, or a pair of cowboy boots with bathing trunks. its not suppose to work , so ha ha. but don't disrespect the greatness there , my friend because it makes you seem less than cultured , intelligent , or knowlegable about our society and music , period.

[wadingo]

actually, ice cream on steak sounds delicious.

[AllknowingGuitarGuru]

You're absolutely dead on Betty. The movie's called "An American in Paris"... hmmm... I wonder why? It couldn't be because the movie is based on Gershwin's symphony, could it?

I hate to knock people for trying their hand being creative. And don't want to assume the maker of this video didn't do their homework. But it sort of reminds of the scene Amadeus where the emperor doesn't allow Mozart's music in the ballet scene... an egregious error.

An American in Paris is all about Gershwin :)

[bnyberg]

@bettygoodbody UGH. Jesus Christ. This is YOUTUBE. I'm not claiming to have improved on the movie. I'm not a huge fan of any of these songs, (welllll Pulp and Kanye are pretty good) but that's not the point. You need to chill out and realize that me putting up this video here hasn't hurt Gershwin or Gene Kelly or you. I simply noticed how it's funny that our brains match up some of the choreography and this music from an entirely different time period. I'm not making a statement.

[panfranek]

i guess at most 5% synhcronizes. you can play any music and it will lokk like it fits.

[punanibuzzed]

agreeeeeed

[Vitavo]

I've been asking "where's part 3" for 2 years...

[moonbeamjellybean]

where is part 3 of 3?

[XDXD1632]

This is hilarrrr

[helenajesstarzak]

HAHAHAH lol, this is so aweosme!

I love when people make videos were there is hip-hop, techno or rap put together with a video clip from a classic movie!

I almost fell out of the chair laughing

[WonderWomandc]

I appreciate how this new genre of music can match up to the choreography ,but, It's Sacreligoius from a Musical standpoint to mute Gershwin .

[dancerseven]

which song is playing when, and what are their names

[Tigerlily21]

this is awesome. I like how well the Gorillas music synchs up to Leslie Caron's dancing. That part is awesome.

[achum168]

rofl wao... >_>

[wldhrt07]

How beautiful! Thank you so much for this fantastic and awesome video! Please post more if you have them. Gene Kelly is my favorite! Thank you.

[AmyWinehouse4433]

That was the best! Good work and thank you!

[anjlaj]

cool love the song and Gene Kelly is the best

[wldhrt07]

This is great! Love it! Who would suspect how good this version really is...?  ENJOY!

[wldhrt07]

This is great..unique! Love it! Who would suspect how good this is...! ENJOY!

[bettydaw1970]

hmmmmm

[hildegarna]

lol this fits to the moves of dancers so well =D

love this flm

[FrannyRenee]

You shouldn't mess with perfection from the orignal.

[bnyberg]

this was done out of respect for the original... i'm not really claiming to have improved on it, just that this is fun to watch too.

[drcoxcentral]

Normally I would say something like this, but like bynberg its in good fun and besides I do this all the time with movies I mute the sound and put my own music on the CD player. Also its a nice selection of music this could've gone horribly wrong but it doesn't.

[kellyakabilly]

I just had to check this video out of curiosity . Even though I don't really care much for the music, the video is not all bad. I agree that the original needs to be preserved (after all, who has talent like Gene Kelly?), but I see nothing wrong with taking some footage and playing with it. It's all in good fun, right?

[apoetscorner]

Post the orginals too please. Pretty please with a cherry ( I thought it was cool) on top ! :D

[jooree23]

I love Gene Kelly!!! This is pretty clever, the sweetest part is from 4:09-4:19...

[AmyWinehouse4433]

How hilarious!
