OK - guessing from the lack of information you've provided, I'm going to go out on a limb with some extrapolations....

Charisse - Cyd Charisse was a dancer and movie star in the 1940's and 50's. She was famously chosen over Debbie Reynolds by Gene Kelly to partner him in the celebrated "Broadway Melody" ballet finale from Singin' in the Rain (1952).

A re-mixed version of 'Singin In the Rain' was recently released as a single by Mint Royale after it was used in the routine of George Sampson, the winner of this year's dubiously titled reality-gameshow "Britains Got Talent".

Actress and dancer Cyd Charisse - the long-legged movie musical star who gained fame for her on-screen pairings with Hollywood dance greats Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly - has died at age 86.


Charisse, a sinuous, athletic performer once described by Astaire as "beautiful dynamite," died of a heart attack at a Los Angeles-area hospital, according to her agent, Scott Stander.

Publicist Gene Schwam said she had only recently celebrated her 60th wedding anniversary with her second husband, singer Tony Martin, whom she married after a romance with millionaire Howard Hughes.
