阴历的4月被称为’梅月’，具体为什么成为’梅月’我就不得而知了，我大致猜测可能是因为在这个月份可以吃杨梅了。还别说，这个月我还真还没少吃杨梅，我是北方人，吃樱桃的时候要多于吃杨梅，不过我总感觉杨梅的滋味在一定程度上与樱桃相像，个人感觉而已。北方是不产梅的，不过提到梅我们就不能不说说刚于5月1日开幕的世园会(那里可能有梅花哟，也是猜测而已^_^)，听去过的朋友说，那叫一个’大’，一天只能参观其中的一个很小的一部分，要想全逛完起码要两天以上，我就等着这段时间忙完了，亲自去体验一下了。

言归正传，我们还是要说音乐的，今天要说的是两位女歌手，哪两位呢，听我一一道来^_^。

‘幸福像花儿一样儿’想必很多人都看过了吧，呵呵。我只看过其中几集，让我印象最深的是那个饰演’白杨’的演员的演技，那叫一个’棒’！，相当的入戏！不过这里要说得却是他’老婆’，扮演’杜鹃’的青年演员’孙俪’，相信很多人认识孙俪都是因为海岩的那部剧’玉观音’。我本人对孙俪的第一印象一般，她并不是我所欣赏的那种女生^_^。不过包括我GF在内的几个女孩都说喜欢孙俪，真是的，审美观不一致，没办法！说完孙俪演戏，我们就要说她唱歌了。孙俪的’爱如空气’，也就是’幸福像花儿一样儿’的片尾曲，说实在话，这首歌真的很不错，听完第一遍就’迷上’了，旋律十分优美，曲调错落有致，孙俪醇美的声音将之演绎的恰到好处，我想这与孙俪舞蹈演员出身很有关系，因为有着同样的对音乐的理解。这里也希望孙俪能再接再厉，毕竟目前仅一首歌曲进入大家的视线！^_^

另一位女歌手，就是最近大街小巷中’蹦出’的’神经大、不怕蟑螂’的郭美美，她的’不怕不怕’充满动感因素，歌词琅琅上口、曲调中布满流行元素，而其本人在演绎这首歌的时候，我想也是抱着’初生牛犊不怕虎’的态度，让我们感到了年轻人的活力。在最近的歌坛上也算是另类的一曲了，起码听的时候是不容易睡觉的^_^。这样的歌曲极其容易受到年轻人的’推捧’的。在听惯了’稳’歌之余，听听这种’动’歌也是未尝不可的，这样也许会减少你的听觉疲劳！^_^
