1. Can. Not. Choose.

*brain explodes*

Seriously, they were both great. Now I'll spend the evening reviewing Youtube clips and missing my father, who introduced me to these gentlemen.

Thanks, really! :)

5. I voted they were equally great, although they were way, way before my time:

I know Fred Astaire only for his performance in "THE TOWERING INFERNO."

I know Gene Kelly only for his performance in "XANADU."

Were either of them in the movie "HIGH SOCIETY" with Sinatra and Grace Kelly?

14. Gene was my first true love. I was 10.

Oh I love Fred too, but no man has ever captured my heart quite the way Gene did. =sigh=

15. Dancing, it's a draw

But Gene beats Fred in sex appeal.
