sorry if sum 1 has already wrote about it, but i cnt stop loving this song, its sooo good. i dnt know y, it could just be me, but im getting a PRINCE vibe from it, not as much as "hey ya" but a lil vibe.

could this be brineys best song ever? i think so

I like it. I'm not a Britney fan at all but the song did make me sit up and take notice.

Same here. One of my friends got mad when I said "hey man, what can I say, it doesn't suck"!!

I started a topic on this and at first noone got what I was saying... but now the truth is comin' out .

The keyboard/strings riff is very simialr to "Automatic".

I had this similar thread a while back...I'm right there wit 'chya though, this song is h o t!

This is the very first Britney song that I love. The song kicks ass. I love it so much that I brought the CD (I'm still shocked by that). I keep the CD on Toxic. I'll hear the rest of the CD eventually.

The rest of the CD is not bad and has some other cool songs, but Toxic really is the best thing on there.

if that's the case it cant b so good. Toxic aint all that u guys...4real. I dont know y people like the song so much. It is aiight but it sounds like album filler 2 me. It dont have a hook that catches my ear at all, other than the synth line...

Still havent seen the video.

aint got nuthin against her (musically only, otherwise she's a bitch). I really liked
"Sometimes"
"Lucky"
"Dont Go Knockin On My Door"
"When Ur Eyes Say It"
"Cant Get No Satisfaction" (better than the original 2 me).
"Slave 4 U" of course.

and "Me Against The Music" was dope 2 me. U gys bashed it but dont care that was the cut!

First; it's not strange that PRODUCERS like The Neptunes are HEAVILY influenced by what Prince did in the 80's.

Hear Kelis's Milkshake. Britney's Slave 4 U.

Just listening to Kelis's album makes you wanna put on Vanity 6 and Apollonia 6 albums.

ANd about Britney's best track ever; I'ld chose Slave 4 U. It bounces so niccce.

NO, i heard the Rolling Stones version...its kinda flat 2 me. But it almost like apples & oranges. Rodney did a good beat over that song 2 me.

When I first heard TOXIC, I thought it was just "OK"
Sounds like Cathy Dennis re-packaged "Sweet dreams my la ex" at the last minute

BUT the video is what sells the song (although Britney looks like shit with red hair)

Yes, it is a repackaging of "Sweet Dreams My L.A. Ex" for the American market.
