Are there exceptions to the "possessive goes before the gerund" rule?

If so, can you give me some examples and how to identify them?

I'm not sure what you are talking about; maybe you should give me an example first. If you are speaking of 'I like your singing' vs 'I like you singing', then the first is formally correct and the second is in popular informal use.
