Or maybe Germany does not want Germans to see how bad the products from its domestic music industry is!

I bet you can hear people singing "xxxx you" though!

I don't really know about their domestic music industry (though I'm familiar with notable crossovers like Rammstein and... Milli Vanilli, LOL) but the fact that David Hasselhoff achieved pot superstardom and continues to be venerated there freaks me out.

Is it from ROA or the diaspora? Sounds very similar to things from Turkey, for example compare it to the Mirkelam & Kargo "Yollar" track I posted here a while ago. Suggests that there are now modernist and probably youthful sections of society in both countries that are very similar in outlook and taste. If true, an encouraging thing, I think. Yollar yollar asfalt kader. Yollar yollar beklediğim. Yollar yollar terkettiğim.

Turkey is much further ahead in that regard.

Have you heard of Hayko Cepkin? He's a rock musician of Armenian origin (born in Istanbul) but enjoys mainstream success in Turkey.

LOL! Indeed, Mr. Hasselhoff is still a hero for some Almantshis.
Once he was in Germany and during an interview made a statement confusing Germany with Poland.

Here is one of Hayko Cepkin with şebnem ferah - a lot of her stuff reminds me of Evanesense.
