Do you know one of my favourite kind of conversations? This one:
Random Person: "Hey, do you like Lady Gaga?"
"Le" Me: "Lady GaggGagg? No, sorry. I prefer listening to Music."
(By the way if you want to know where my synonym for "Lady Gaga" is coming from, check this Video out:

Before i get the core of my Post i wanted to tell you something. Well, i'll probably do a specific Post for this anyways. I go by the philosophy that you have to try something in order to hate it. Wheter if it is a drink, a song, an "Artist" or whatever. So i actually did listen to a couple of "Songs" or, as i like to call it "pathetic pieces of nonsense" from the so-called "musician" that i like to call "Lady GaggGagg." As i said: I'll probably write a whole Post about her... or him(?) soon but to give you a little spoiler: I wasn't disappointed. It definitly proved my point. Which was that she/he sucks a**.
But whatever. Let's get to the point, the MUSIC.
You know me; i personally think that you can find actual music only in asia nowadays. Well... yeah, real musicians do exist outside of asia, but in the underground.
Anyways, the first "Song of the Moment" was a Classic Chinese Pop Song by "鄭化" called "星星點燈". The second "Song of the Moment" was one of my personal Summer Hits 2012: "강남스타일" by "싸이" And today i got yet another Chinese Pop Song. Asian ladies and gentlemen i present to you the 3rd "love GIANT Blog Song of the Moment"~
Chinese Pop really caught my attention, as u can see. The Artist is called "许嵩" (Spelled like "Vae Hsu".) The story of how i know about this Artist is pretty funny: For a while there were so many asian ladies that wrote to me via ICQ. Mostly chinese ladies. Then one day there was a chinese guy who wrote to me via E-Mail, i guess. I gave him my Skype Name, so he could add me. He wanted me to help him improve his english skills, while he gave me some chinese lessons (it was pretty hard to understand this guy, since he had a very HUGE chinese accent.) Almost at the beginning he wanted to show me how good chinese Music sounds and he introduced me to "许嵩". The song he showed me was just simply awesome. It was the following one:
(Note: This isn't the "Song of the Moment(!)"
Since i was so into this Song, i was searching for some Albums from "许嵩". I managed to get my hands on two Albums: "Personalize" and "SOUGHT and GOT." And i can tell you guys: "SOUGHT and GOT" is such an awesome Album. Usually i only listen to Japanese Rap, as u might know. And 许嵩 is normally only doing Pop music, so i was even more surprised when i listened to the Song "我无所谓". This guy can rap... i really am speecheless. Here u can listen to a short snippet from this Song:

By the way, this is also an overview from all Songs from the Album "SOUGHT and GOT." However. This just goes to show you: Sometimes it takes just one guy to introduce and get you addicted to a brand new style of music. After a quick search i found out about other artists like "Cindy Wang", "萧亚轩" (Elva Hsiao) and Jeff Chang, who all make very good music, even though i personally prefer Japanese HipHop.
So the song that got seriously stuck in my head is probably "单人旅途". Thankfully this Song is uploaded to YouTube, so all of you guys can enjoy it. Check it out:
Of course "许嵩" is also present on LAST.FM and Facebook, so if you like what you hear, make sure to check those Links out:
