Fred vs. Gene
In the Fred Astaire vs. Gene Kelly debate, I think largely due to my Mom's influence I have always kind of thought Fred Astaire was a bit better dancer. But you know, Gene Kelly is quite the beast in his own right, here he is tap dancing, ON ROLLER SKATES. Now this is cool!

Fred could dance on the walls and ceiling, he also had Ginger Rogers.

I think that was his audition tape for Xanadu.

It's like apples and oranges. They were a different breed of cat. Fred was a really serious dancer and dancing was the main attraction with him. Gene was more an all around entertainer and less the classical dancer and better actor and singer too.

I always liked the old observation that Ginger Rogers did everything Fred did.....and she did it backwards and in high heels.
