[#3] From Stephe’s desk: My fantasy Rain playlist for the U.S. continued.
When I’m rolling in my Escalade Hyundai and listening to my very favorite songs of all time, these are the sounds from my playlist—whether he did an occasional cover or matched the vibe—that I think would have Rain lighting up our airwaves like a Christmas tree. (JiHoon, are you listening?)
What’s on your fantasy Rain playlist, dear fans? Why?
» Numbers 3 through 7 on my fantasy Rain playlist are HERE.

#8. Justin Timberlake -Take It From Here (w lyrics). Courtesy of monsweet16 @YT) La-la-lala, la la la-la-lala… So there ya go. I’ll be there, mami. 🙂
#9. SWV(feat. Missy Elliott) – Can We. (Courtesy of XclusiveCityTVHD @YT) The male version of this, with Rain’s spin on it and a guest rapper, would be f-i-r-e and have me up all night like No-Doze.
#10. Tevin Campbell – Can We Talk. (Courtesy of ocloud16 @YT) C’mon and talk to me, baby.
#11. Michael Jackson – The Lady In My Life MUSIC VIDEO. (Courtesy of MJFanaticO1 @YT) Just think of it as a sleek, sexy, adult, faint-inducing “My Girl.” GOD!
#12. Michael Jackson – Heaven Can Wait. (Courtesy of YUNGxMADxDOG @YT). Lawd have mercy. Please please please have mercy. Can’t you just see him throwing himself to the winds in that Love Story steam shower, hollering for his baby? @___@
#13. Usher – U Don’t Have To Call. (Courtesy of UsherVEVO @YT) Rain can start thumpin’ and make you get up and dance, too. Easily. True playa for real. (Just don’t say you’re going out with your N’s, bruh. Epic FAIL! 😛 )
The proof, as they say, is in the pudding: “Turn Your Head” featuring TaeWan, off of Rain’s Vol. 5 album Rainism, about the girl at the party who looks so dang good, you can’t help turning your head and staring, staring, taking it all in.

Bonus Time: Did anyone realize that both Rain and Dru Hill had somebody else sleeping in their beds, messing with their heads? Dru Hill got the better end of the deal by far, bless Rain’s poor little pea-pickin’ heart. Haha. 😉 Videos courtesy of DruHillVEVO and oluperigelin2 (with Turkish subs, because Turkish Clouds love Rain!).
Dru Hill – In My Bed.
Bi Rain – In My Bed (Turkish Subs).

That’s a good one. I Like Anthony Hamilton he’s really classic R&B, which I love. I remembered a couple more too. I see Bi clearly singing/performing these two. Damn….(SMILES)

Well, I think I’m all “tapped” out on the fantasy play lists. If I think of more, I’ll come back. One thing is clear though, we…*no, scratch that*….”I” want a sexy, teasing R&B crooner Bi. Bi on stage singing anything that comes near to these songs will make undies spontaneously combust….combust I say, just like exploding vampires in Queen of the Damned.
However, I can get with dancer Bi if he does some hot dance breaks like my favorite one (that I can’t seem to find right now, damned YT!….black v-neck T on Korean tv). He’s a dancer at heart, for sure. I know he’ll want to move that body. I’ll say this, a US audience WILL accept you however it is you present yourself to them musically the first time. Now, it’s true US audiences do have a problem with change, especially when artists want to grow. However, having said that, I think if Bi comes at a US audience (ala Usher-esque….which is R&B/Hip-Hop with a “little” pop sprinkled on top) I think people Over Here will definitely be pleasantly surprised. Just be your Authentic self, people can feel that….doesn’t matter what “package” you’re wrapped up in. Think…Teena Marie. Just be YOU Bi baby!
Clouds already know the deal!

Even though some may see this as 90s “teeny bop” music, I think it’s a song that holds up to the test of time. It’s a sweet melody and the romantic, suave Bi can once again sing about the angst he feels for his lady love….but in a Grown Up version. (SMILES)

He does “angry” man anthems good too. Besides he and Ginuwine are both influenced by the late MJ and it shows. With Timbaland’s beats, this is a good dance fit for Bi.

Ah. Nice! Yes! He’s knows what he’s talking about when he starts going on about that “house note” heheheh.

This is another one of my favorites by Ginuwine. I’ve been very curious as to what direction Rain will take when it comes to his music one he’s discharged from the military.
LikeLike
Well, I think this is a funky groove he could perform his hip-hop moves to….seriously. (*disclaimer….I’m not really crazy about the video “vixen” images*)
Also, I’m not sure if this was on the last two lists, but this is a mellow groove that I could see him singing and performing too. Bi does the male/female stage performance extremely well.
If this one was on the last list forgive the repeat, but this is a good one.
I think this song speaks for itself on so many levels and Bi written all over it.
