Heard the three song through youtube, I guess they're not bad. A good production and Se7en voice is crystal clear aa usual. But, honestly the three songs are just the typical American R&B song. A little bit like Ne-Yo, a little bit like Chris Brown, and a little bit like Mario. What I feel is blank. Se7en miss the first thing to cross over: a uniqueness (songs, image, voice, or performance). I didn't see that in this 3 song preview party. Songs wise, the 3 songs are good song but definitely not a HIT material.
I hope I'm too early to judge him. I really hope he can succeed in the US.

And from this, I feel like Rain has much better chances to break into US market. He's entering the US market as an actor. This year lots of korean actors try to break in (Lee Byung Hun, ex-god member Park something - I forgot the name), Jun Jihyun... So, this can make bigger noise. And script from famous korean movies is finished in production and started to release in the us soon. Add this to get more attention/awareness to the us public....
