3oh!3 Don't Trust Me
Asher Roth I Love College
Drake Best I Ever Had
Kid Cudi Day N' Nite
Lady Gaga Poker Face
My Vote3oh3!'s Don't Trust Me, because Lady Gaga has 9 nominations and it wouldn't be fair for her to win them all, and she's not as new as 30h!3 anyway.
My Prediction: Drake Best I Ever Had, because like I said, Lady Gaga can't win all of them. Everyone seems to love this song. I think it has a good chance.
