How Many Different Ways Can You Sing In The Rain?
You know that something's good when it's copied left, right and center. "Singin' in the Rain" is just that kind of number. Gene Kelly did it best in my mind, but other great performers - including Usher and Kurt Browning - have given it their stamp as well. Take a look after you have a peek at the original. Which do you like best?
Usher is a great song and dance man, no doubt about it. Though he may not quite have Gene's crispness on the taps, he does a pretty fine job in this clip.
Canada's Kurt Browning isn't a singer or a dancer, but he's one of ice skating's most beloved stars. Even before he did the piece below, he earned the name "The Gene Kelly of Ice Skating," and for good reason. This is astounding.
Or perhaps you prefer this remix. Me, I miss the tapping, but that isn't to say this isn't fun!
So there you have it. Four different ways of singing in the rain. Which do you think is best?
