LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Pop star Britney Spears won the first Grammy Award of her brief but colorful career* on Sunday, taking the prize in the best dance recording category.

Spears, 23, was honored for her chart-topping song "Toxic," which appeared on her 2003 album "In the Zone."

[...]

Spears was previously nominated six times: twice each in 2000, 2001 and 2003.

With her record sales tapering off in recent years, Spears has instead attracted headlines for such acts as kissing Madonna at the MTV Video Music Awards, getting married twice in one year, and using public toilets in bare feet.

*Who decided on that line? :lol

Granted, "Toxic" was a pretty good dance song.

And a zombie won eight

LOS ANGELES, California (Reuters) -- With "Desperate Housewives" as competitors, the Grammy awards Sunday drew their lowest total viewership in a decade and also fell sharply among the audience of 18- to 49-year-olds most coveted by advertisers, according to preliminary figures released Monday.

Powned!

While the brilliance of the track is all in the production, damnit if it didn't deserve it anyways. It's nice that her first Grammy is for something actually good rather than her other tripe.

Can you believe boy bands and Britney are already phased out (well, boy bands for sure)?
I remember like five years ago, we were all waiting for the day when nSync and the like weren't talked about on a daily basis, heh.

 

[Mama Smurf]

Good, I love that song. The video's good too, except the couple of times Britney pulls one of her classic stupid faces.

 

[Mike Works]

Such a surprise that the ratings have taken such a slide despite their best effort of re-introducing credibility by giving the award for best new artist to Maroon 5 over Kanye West.

 

[Diablos]

It's too bad you never see indie bands get an awards show. Of course, the idea of that is kind of contradicting, considering awards shows are paid for by big corporations.

 

[Matlock]

Wait, both Green Day and Kanye got fucked?

fuck the grammys. rush got screwed again.
on the same note, fuck the riaa, the rock n roll hall of fame and rolling stone magazine.

No, now we are flooded with the pop princesses (Lavigne, Lohan and all those)

Don't give up the fight, brother.

I love Rolling Stone. Good indie bands will get like 2 stars. Papa Roach? They get 4! Absolutely perfect! The new Mick Jagger? 5 STARS! They also have a "top ___ of all time" all the freaking time. The magazine is a broken record, it really is. The only thing worth reading in now are the political articles, but that isn't worth a subscription. Even their music news sucks. This is of course, all in my opinion. But I subscribed to RS for a couple years and realized how crappy it was, so I'm not just saying this out of angst.

They aren't nearly as bad in terms of popularity.

Britney's record:

Grammys: 1-6
MTV Video Music Awards: 0-16 :lol

Hell yeah. And Spears won the category that a k-os/Chemical Brothers track was up for (Get Yourself High), so fuck Spears, fuck Toxic, and double fuck the Grammys.
