How can watching someone else dance make you feel good? That is magic to me.

That, IMO, is extraordinary. (Since "Stormy Weather" was a "jive film" made on a shoestring budget, they didn't have a lot of time or money for luxuries like rehearsal)

They make it look so effortless, and the singer’s vocal control on the verses is just incredible, she barely taking a breath between lines.
