Pretty easy. No right or wrong answer. And by "no right or wrong answer" I mean "please agree with me or I'll cry".

Orlando's Bloom? Is that like scarlet's Ladygarden?


Of the available choices, Gene Kelly. But I love Fred, too. Dancing eggplants, they just don't take choreography well at all.

I like them both. They have different styles. Gene Kelley's was more athletic, and Fred Astaire's was more graceful.

Why do I have to choose?
Please see highlighted above.

I went with Gene...but because he's better. I'd be loathe to agree with you just to agree with you, pantser!

Dang...I thought there was a "show everybody's votes" option.

Oh, well.

I went with Gene Kelly, only because he's a better dancer. That, and his smile. :e2faint:
