《纽约时报》评价说，韩国歌手Rain在美国纽约的演出只不过是在效仿美国巨星风格的翻版演出，他进军美国并不容易。 《纽约时报》4日（当地时间）苛刻地评价说，Rain的演出效仿了20世纪90年代迈克尔-杰克逊的风格，如同把美国过时MTV翻译成韩国语一样。 该报导指出，Rain在麦迪森广场花园举行的演唱会虽然创造了全场爆满的纪录，但95%的观众都是亚裔人士，而且至少90%以上都是女性。 该报导称，歌手Rain是美国唱片作为全球媒体渠道扩散的世界化趋势造就出来的艺人。该报导透露说，Rain不仅模仿了迈克尔-杰克逊的服装和编舞，还模仿了Babyface的敍事曲、贾斯汀-汀布莱克的轻快流行朋克（Funk-Pop）、乔治-迈克尔感性的低音，以及亚瑟的唱法等。 该报导还说，Rain虽然是优秀的歌手兼舞者，但不具备迈克尔-杰克逊那样的领袖魅力，也没有亚瑟那种男性魅力，更无法挥洒自如地运用贾斯汀-汀布莱克那种快节奏。 该报导建议说，Rain成功进军美国的障碍是模仿美国最新流行歌曲，利用这种方法很难超越美国的顶级巨星。 

免得有棒子说是伪造的原文His first step was two sold-out shows at the Theater at Madison Square Garden, last night and Thursday night. The audience on Thursday was about 95 percent Asian, at least 90 percent female and always ready to scream. Like Rain, they were following the drill of a Michael Jackson concert from the early 1990's: songs that switched between stark beats and sweet choruses, angular group dances and tough-guy preening that gave way to professions of love. Slender and wiry, Rain, known in Korean as Bi (pronounced "bee"), also acts in soap operas. He's a product of the globalization that pumps American products through worldwide media channels. People who fear mass-market threats to local styles need look no further for an example. If there's anything beyond the lyrics that's particularly Korean about Rain's songs, it's not obvious. On the three albums he has released since 2002, Rain and his songwriter, producer, promoter and mastermind, Jin-Young Park, have imported and digested pop-R&B from the English-speaking world, emulating it with Korean lyrics. Since Rain's voice is lower and huskier than Mr. Jackson's, he dabbles in other pop-R&B approaches: the acoustic-guitar ballads of Babyface, the light funk-pop of Justin Timberlake, the crooning of George Michael and the importunings of Usher. Seeing him onstage was like watching old MTV videos dubbed into Korean. The moment Rain appeared onstage, he was mimicking Mr. Jackson's costumes and moves: a fitted leather jacket, a dark suit and slouch hat, the freeze-frame postures. He's a fine dancer and a passable singer. At first, he tried Mr. Jackson's tense demeanor, but soon he was smiling. "I'm lonely," he announced, "I need a girlfriend," and he brought a young woman onstage from the audience, handing her a teddy bear and a bouquet of roses before giving her a chaste hug. (Perhaps with crossover in mind, the woman he chose was one of the few non-Asians in the audience.) By the end of the show Rain was dedicating a ballad to his late mother. Rain seems like a nice guy, but he doesn't have the tormented charisma of Jackson, the relaxed sex appeal of Usher or the quick pop reflexes of Mr. Timberlake. The show was a combination of slick video-era effects — at one point, Rain jumped, and the buildings in a video image behind him shook — and odd moments. Mr. Park took the stage repeatedly while Rain changed costumes. Speaking in hip-hop-style English, he reminded everyone that he wrote all the songs, he introduced Sean Combs (Diddy) and the teenage singer JoJo to praise Rain, and he performed his own songs from the mid-1990's. Given his voice, he was wise to make Rain the vehicle for his newer material. The obstacle to Rain's intended United States career is that by the time Mr. Park has figured out how to imitate the latest English-speaking hit, American pop will have jumped ahead of him. Perhaps collaborators like Diddy could help Mr. Park keep Rain up to date. But for the moment, here in the United States, Rain sounded like a nostalgia act.
