May 5, 200817 yr Whoa, the worst song in the top ten (well, the second worst after Arctic Monkeys) won...after good songs winning the past years I guess it was going to happen. Toxic is an average pop track (barely average), nowhere Britney's best and certainly not even top twenty worthy here but then again, that's just IMO.
May 5, 200817 yr Toxic :wub: Such an amazing song, wouldn't have expected it to win biut I'm glad it did ^_^
