'Put the Blame On Mame' Rita or Rosa? Vote Here...
Who sang/performed it better? Rita Hayworth in "Gilda" or "Gypsy" Rose Lee in "Screaming Mimi"? My vote goes to Rita Hayworth, no comparison.

I'll go with Rita on this. Gypsy sang it in a very low key that didn't quite suit her.

Rita Hayworth sang it better (but it really her sing dubbed, because Rita Hawyworth can't sing). Gypsy Rose Lee can't sing and dance she was not lied about herself.
shareIt was much more exciting to see Gypsy perform the number for real, considering what has been read and written about her.
