The 74th Emmy Awards took place this morning (Spanish time) at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles in the most predictable and soporific way in the style that these types of Hollywood ceremonies usually take place. At least, until Lizzo has gone on stage to collect her award for best competition program and She has brought with her the party, the charisma, the tears and the hope<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Although the singer has approached, at first, the microphone shouting euphorically and asking the contestants for her talent<\/em> to join her on stage “immediately”, the emotion has not been slow in trying to break his voice<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“If I am so excited it is because of the people who accompany me and their stories. They’re not that unique, they just don’t have a platform to share them on<\/strong>. Let’s tell more stories “, she has claimed trying to hold back tears and to cheers and applause from the public.<\/p>\n

“When I was a kid, I just wanted to see myself represented in the media. Someone fat like me, black like me, beautiful like me<\/strong>. If she could go back and tell little Lizzo: ‘you’re going to see that person but, bitch, it’s going to have to be you’ … “, she concluded between laughs to return to ecstasy and cheer on the contestants of Lizzo’s Watch Out for the Big Grrrls <\/em>and ask the theater for a standing ovation for them.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In this reality show<\/em>which can be seen on Amazon Prime Video, several women compete to become part of the dance corps<\/strong> of the artist during her world tour. It premiered in March of this year and, at the moment, it has a single season of eight episodes. In addition, this was not the only award to which the program opted, which brought together six nominations and has won three.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The singer and rapper from Detroit wrapped up her speech<\/em> in style and dedicating the award to him, at the top of his lungs, “to the big girls”<\/strong>. We want a second season and more nominations for this queen.<\/p>\n
