"Halo" med Beyonce är en höjdare enligt mig, gammgube. Här på YouTube finns den tills CD:n "I Am...Sasha Fierce" är köpt - om den mot förmodan inte är köpt:

Men fler av ovan nämnda nomieringar är höjdare...enligt mig, gammgube. När det gäller populärmusik är USA toppen...enligt mig, gammgube.

I Am… Sasha Fierce med Beyonce är ett måste för alla åldrar med "öppet sinne".
