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!
