It's A Man's Man's Man's World

In 2006, music lost one of her greatest soul legends - James Brown. And at the Grammy Awards in 2007, the academy wanted to pay respect to the King of Soul. There were dance tributes and affirmations from his colleagues.

But one person was needed to pay tribute to the man as a vocalist. And Christina Aguilera was chosen for this honour. Some people were not happy about this decision. Jaime Foxx was one of them. He claimed he was more suitable because, like James Brown, he sings soul and he's black. What an idiot.

So anyway, in spite of people's comments, Christina nailed the performance and blew the crowd away. It was said to be her best live vocal performance in her career. And it shut all skeptics up.

When the Grammy Awards celebrated its 50th anniversary, this Christina performance was voted 3rd place in the academy's list of 25 Moments in Grammy History. Woohoo!

Check out this amazing performance.
Take special note of Jaime Foxx's idiotic face at the end.
