BACK TO BASICS!!!

Well the time has finally come when the perfect sexy, hot vid, has finally come from the artist RAIN! Now I've put up some of his vids before and let my thoughts be known that he is one incredible talent. He has a new cd coming out after a long hiatus. RAIN is considered in the asian community to be a serious powerhouse of an entertainer!! Now RAIN has been around for quite some time and the his status isn't as pronounced here in the States. CAA the entertainment agency has signed him and had some really big plans for him. As far as a movie career, he had a small part in the less then famous "Speed Racer" No. It wasn't aa great movie, but it opened some doors for RAIN. At the time his english was very limited and he learned his part phonetically. From watching the film you wouldn't know this. He handled the limited dialogue like a pro. But for me that wasn't the important factor here. Even though it was a bad film. I was focused on his presence and charisma! And he has that in spades. He's a chiseled, sleek character, with a tinge of devil. Too bad that wasn't enough to bring people to the theater, but it did open a door for him to meet a wonderful director who had faith in his and felt he could carry a film all by himself. I think he can carry a film. I just don't think NINJA ASSASSIN was it!! He worked really hard on his body. Not that he was ever out of shape. And I mean EVER!

Rain is one of those rare entertainers that defies belief. He's not known in the United States, but I bet it's not due to talent. Even though a film career is inevitable, at this point in his career if he wants to make it here I think my dream partnership for him would be a duet with Justin Timberlake, Rihanna, hook up with Timbaland and I think he would be a singing fit with Nelly Furtado! Rain has a swagger about himself that emanates poise and magnificence! He gives you SERIOUS DANCE and he makes it look so easy, yet it's sensual, entertaining and it's hard to take your eyes off of him even if you chose to.
Below is the video that I think would make him a star in the states if it were released on MTV!! Even though you can't understand a single word he saying, it doesn't matter He's just WEARIN' IT OUT!!!!!

I also want people to know that not only does RAIN sound good recorded, he also gives live performances that other artists and wannabe singers would greatly appreciate. His is a lesson in discipline, dedication and practice. When you see his performances they are events. I've been checking out older performances and watched with a keen eye. He's blossomed from a young boy to a fiercely talented man. I have to give my own insights though. In earlier work I have seen him with female dancers to enhance his sex appeal. But as a man he seems to just have male dancers with him. No. I won't comment on his sexuality because that's not my business. But I will give this opinion. I see in videos that he may have a female presence at the beginning just to establish a hint of a relationship. But later on it will just be all males doing serious, flawless choreography. My reasoning is that he doesn't want the audience to be distracted by a female presence. He just wants to be RAIN. RAIN. And only Rain. And I ain't mad at him.

I also have to give "props" to his dancers. He seems to be loyal to them because there is one dancer that I always see with this beautiful long hair. Whether it be ponytails to the side or hair just whipping around wildly, he keeps up with RAIN and adds his own bit of pizazz!
