Christina Aguilera, Feminist Queen
It's not just the pantsuit.
It's not just the scorch-earth singing.
It's the fact that the Godfather is there, in all his black and white glory behind her, like a guardian angel.
She, octaroon daughter of an Ecuatorian and an American, resplendent in technicolor white.
Before her, a roomful of jaws agape standing, and clapping and testifying; while a Jamie Foxx, one of the true believing fanboys, standing there, stunned and speechless seconds before the closing of the clip.
With just one performance she rises to feminist icon for a whole generation of girls with her possessed, Cassandra-like interpretation ...
This is a man's world
But it would be nothing, nothing
Not one little thing
Without a woman or girl.
Hell yeah, Christina.
PREACH!

just blew the roof off my house!
Oh. My. God.
Feminist Favorite Daughter (who sings story too) and I stood here agape just now as it ended, looking, I feel sure, pretty much like Jamie Foxx!
Beautiful!

The Godfather would be so intensely proud; she tore the sky off the earth with that performance!
It's the power of story
and that act alone was a whole novel.
She totally blew the roof off the place.
