iPod playlist: Top-Ten Female Power Songs
1. “I Will Survive,” by Aretha Franklin. If anyone can sing about surviving a breakup, Aretha Franklin can.
2. “Womanizer,” by Britney Spears. Boy — you are a womanizer and B. Spears knows it (and so do the rest of us).
3. “Dirrty,” by Christina Aguilera. Yeah, Christina. Way to put out a seriously raunchy tune that makes some chicks feel like doing an empowered strip dance.
4. “So What,” by P!nk. Screaming about being a rock star and not needing a man are two things that make girls feel more powerful than the Hulk.
5. “Single Ladies,” by Beyoncé. It’s nice to be reassured by a former Destiny’s Child diva, even by a married Beyoncé, that being a single lady is fabulous.
6. “I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me),” by Whitney Houston. Bobby Brown’s ex can seriously belt a tune. Singing along is one of the most powerful feelings ever.
7. “Like a Virgin,” by Madonna. This needs no explanation.
8. “Before He Cheats,” by Carrie Underwood. It may be country, but this tune is a serious take-revenge song that just basically rocks hard.
9. “It’s All Coming Back to Me Now,” by Céline Dion. Her voice is awe-inspiring, and this tune makes a killer karaoke feel-good tune, despite the depressing lyrics.
10. “Since You’ve Been Gone,” by Kelly Clarkson. The “American Idol” diva, besides being a badass, has a major set of fierce pipes.
