Se7en's American debut, the 'JT' of Asia

[Blue_Eyed_Boi]

Se7en is a pop/R&B singer from South Korea. Just like BoA, he is also making an American debut this year, and is one of the top acts throughout Asia. He's similar to Justin Timberlake, and while I like both, I think Se7en is a much more talented artist.

Here's his American debut single, "Them Girls" featuring Lil Kim. It's actually pretty catchy:






and here is him doing some new photoshoots, what a hottie!!:

He's good, but honestly I've heard better from undiscovered talent.

Uhhh...what the? The only thing talented about that song was the production, and even that was repetitive. Sounds like a bunch of computerized nonsense. Is he the male Britney?

 

[Yeehaw]

The thing about Asian artists is they have to find their own style (by that I don't mean infusing American pop with traditional Chinese music) instead of blatantly copying American artists. Almost all Asian artists adopt this poppy/r&b image when they try to crack the Western market and I don't even have to actually listen to their music to know that. Who would wanna listen to cheap copycats when their American counterparts are way better??

Nowhere near the male Britney (that's a good thing), but he can definitely pull off some really good dance moves that I highly doubt Britney can even do.

Well that's pretty much the whole point of even breaking into the American market. In order to be noticed, you have to start out doing music that everyone here is used to, before branching off and coming out with something new. In general, Americans do not typically watch foreign movies or listen to foreign music, so how else could foreign artists break in?

I prefer BoA over this...
