Jennifer Lawrence, of course, is the real draw. Female role models come and go, and Lawrence’s Katniss is one of the better ones. Katniss is clearly a Champion of the People, but there’s no sanctimony or pretense of false modesty in the way Lawrence plays her. She gives the appearance of listening more than she talks, the opposite of what we usually get from today’s feisty heroines. Somehow, Lawrence — even though her character is a proactive Diana the Huntress — makes thinking look more dynamic than reacting. Her eyes say lots of things: “Get over yourself,” “I’m not buying this,” and “OK, show me.” But sometimes they also say, “I don’t know what I want.” Which guy, which path, which life? Lawrence is a movie star who’s still believable as a girl. She’s both on fire and in the process of becoming, and it’s magnificent to watch.
I would definitely have I've Been Called a Bitch in the Top 5 though.
She has so many great songs, it's hard to only pick five. My choices would probably change all the time. The other girls have clear gems that are better than the rest. But Khia is just too consistent.
