May be, I gave up his song long time ago (or never take them).

I would say it is because he is "red". When he made his "love trap", I was 
already in UK. I frist heard the tape in my friends car. My first reaction was,

no other red male singers (Kwak Ching Kit going back to read work, Ah B went
to Taiwan etc).

O.K. We have agrued for a long time who is the best singer in HK. Howabout
