The music industry suffered a tragic loss when news broke out on Christmas morning that The Godfather of Soul, James Brown, died of complications of pneumonia. The industry knew they had to pay tribute to him in a very big way but who they would ask to pay tribute to the legend himself was on everyone's mind. Well, none other than Christina Aguilera was asked to step up to the plate and I must say, she hit a grand slam with her performance.
In a music world that feels it's been dominated by auto-tune lately, it's hard for some people to really recognize soul anymore. But nonetheless, her performance received great recognition and was voted in the Grammy books as the 3rd best performance of all time. ALL TIME! To sum up her performance I'll quote an ad that I saw for the Grammy's the following year: Thank you, Christina, for reintroducing our jaws to the floor.
