Gene will always be the only one for me now and forever.
Thanks for the feedback on Gene vs Fred…Fred is getting no love…lol.
I love them both, they gave so much movie magic but for me, Astaire will always have the edge. He just had that touch of class. Although Kelly probably had the better movies.
Hey Chris….I agree with your comment….very well put…..in my mind….it is too close to call….so a tie seems like a perfect way to go. Thanks for the visit and the comment.
Fred “VS” Gene??
Yes,they were both great in their own way but
It’s Gene all the way for this girl
Hey Katharine A…..thanks for casting your vote…Gene is doing very well in the comments. But like you say….both are greats!
I like both actor/singer/dancers but if I was pushed I’ll pick Gene Kelly.
Astaire has the bigger box office while Kelly has 2 films topping the UMR chart plus Kelly has Singin’ in the Rain, the best musical of them all.
Hey Steve….I am surprised no Astaire fans have stopped by……all three so far have been Gene Kelly fans. I shared the link on Astaire and Kelly Facebook pages….I guess the Kelly fans are more activate.
Looking at all of the stats…I would say it is too close to call….which I like….because these two stars are in the same class of greatness and remain so for many many years to come.
WoC wants to watch Singin’ In The Rain….so that might be one we watch this weekend….plus we are scheduled to see La La Land…yes two musicals for me in one weekend….lol.
Gene for me!
Noted Cathy….thanks for the feedback.
