This article was
written a while ago. I read it at
DC recently. Our prince sang “It’s
a blessing” live in his radio program yesterday (July 1) He said music is very, very important
to him. I want to share this
article with all who feel it a blessing to have our prince in our lives!
2010 Adieu Concert –
account of someone in the entertainment industry
….skip
No guests, a full 2
hours show all by himself. The
keywords for Rain’s concert are 3S – Sexy, Smile, Strong.
Very sexy, extremely
enjoyable, immensely powerful performance and vocal skills. The concert tells clearly, through
Rain, and nobody can do it but him,
why Rain’s concert “lives up to its fame”. It’s like a one round match game, when he dazzlingly showed
all the knowhow and experience that he had accumulated after holding numerous
concerts. The flow of the show was
extremely good. He embraced all, from standing, to the fences left and right,
to the 1st and 2nd floor. He spent
great effort to make sure nobody felt left out. Such meticulous care yet never losing his composure is hard
to find in singers who are only 29 years old.
The part I wish to give
the highest mark is Rain’s vocal supported by the band. The band was excellent
(especially the guitarist) and the song arrangements they choreographed
together did justice to Rain’s live performance. One has to reconsider the
appraisal of Rain, not as a live “dance singer” but a “singer”. He danced and turned, he jumped up and
down the chairs. But in each
powerful action he did not miss his breath or his tune. Such quality is simply amazing.
I chatted with his
officers afterwards and discovered that Rain started his rehearsal almost from
midnight before the concert started.
He hardly had any sleep. I
really don’t know how he could maintain his condition and his voice. (And don’t
forget he had 2 concerts in one day.)
Personally I would
choose “One”, “Love Story” and “Not a Single Day” as the highlight of today’s
concert. The choreography was just fantastic. Rain’s charming baritone/bass voice, falsetto, ad lib,
together with the band, supported each other wonderfully and created great
harmony. “One”, especially,
explains why Rain’s performance can only be described as King’s performance,
because he vividly shows us a King’s Stage. (Rain has definitely surpassed just
being an outstanding technician. The sense of unity between his songs and his
performance is just the best in the universe. Seeing him on stage one really doesn’t know whether the
movements come first or the songs come first. Such talent is not something one could achieve simply through
effort.)
The poise and the charisma
of an over 10 years celebrity artist stood out in him, as he showed his
dexterity when a couple and fans were invited to the stage, and his imposing
charm when teaching the audience to dance. (As an aside, I was totally brought into a fantasy watching
his magnificent performance and forgot where it was and who I was.)
My original intention
was to have a peek of the man Jung Jihoon through this concert, but I
failed. When Rain was on stage,
this was exactly what you saw, and no gap was left to allow you to do
otherwise. His songs, his
comments, were for all the audience.
His only objective was to let the audience have an enjoyable time full
to the brim. The common emotion
outburst or grumble was not there. You wouldn’t know inside him whether he was
strong or whether he was hurt. The
clear thing was, for the audience who bought his concert tickets, he gave his
heart and soul and did his best. The clear truth is that he is a great professional singer.
Whenever Rain had a new
performance, or a new album, he showed a different aspect and moved
forward. And today I saw that his
progress is in the present continuous tense. It verified that he, as always, is not a complacent
star. I am full of expectation for
him.
Rain has been on top in
the past 10 years, and I believe the probability of him still being on top in
future is very high.
