Go Retro Video of the Day: Usher and Gene Kelly Make a Splash

I was perhaps a bit too hasty smacking down on CBS' Movies Rock television special a few weeks ago. It actually wasn't that bad. OK, it was pretty good. But only because the performers stayed true to the songs' original arrangements and didn't mess things up too much.

I think my favorite portion was when Usher performed "Singing in the Rain" step-for-step a la Gene Kelly's routine from the 1952 film. Check out the side-by-side video below of the two performers that just got posted on YouTube to see just how spot-on Usher was. I feel wet just watching these two guys. Wait! That came out wrong.
