[VIDEO] CHRISTINA AGUILERA GIVES EMOTIONAL SPEECH AS SHE ACCEPTS 'HUMANITARIAN OF THE YEAR AWARD'

Pop singer and coach on NBC’s “The Voice” Christina Aguilera received the Humanitarian of the Year Award. She is the global spokeswoman for Yum! Brands’ World Hunger Relief, a global movement and campaign to raise awareness and funds to end hunger. 

“I’ve had a lot of great successes and I’ve been fortunate enough to, you know win a few Grammys… But, from my heart, it really means a lot to be recognized for what’s important to me,” the singer said, referencing her desire to connect people all over the world. 

“I’ve been fortunate enough to win a few Grammys ... but from my heart it really means a lot to be recognized for what is most important to me,“ she said, tearing up on stage.

“Yes, the stage is a platform for me, and I’m able to have fun with that and play dress up ... but my purpose and what I do with this platform is really important to me.”

[NEWS] 'THE VOICE' WINS EMMY FOR 'REALITY COMPETITION SERIES, BEATING 'THE AMAZING RACE'

This is "The Voice"!

Competing against perennial favorite "The Amazing Race" -- which has won nine times of the last 10 years this category has been around -- and "Top Chef," the only show to beat "Race" in 2010, as well as "Dancing With the Stars," "Project Runway" and "So You Think You Can Dance," this might be one of the biggest upsets of the night.

"The Voice" is the newcomer to this category, getting their first Emmy nominations last year -- four total, with no wins -- but they pulled off a surprise upset tonight, winning in this main category, one of their five nominations of the year.
