Lipton couldn't be with us tonight, but he left us a message in anticipation of winning.

Wow. I don't know what to say. I didn't really expect to win here tonight, so I didn't prepare a speech.
[pulls out a small piece of paper anyway]
I'm so shocked and amazed at the support of my fans. These are the moments you dream about growing up. The feeling that you get as a child when you're watching Enya, Janet, and Shakira on your television trotting all over the globe, selling millions, looking beautiful, eclipsing your face in every facet of a celebrity & artist.
You feel connected to them. You want to be them. You idolize them. Then as you grow up, you take a look around at everyone else and their basic lives realizing that not everyone is as fortunate as you. Not everyone gets to be an Enya, a Janet, or a Shakira. Some people become much, much less and for that I am truly humble and thankful for this award.
I'd just like to thank my sponsors and my team because without them I would not be here.
First, I'd like to thank my manager Mathew Knowles. Mathew has been by my side since Day 1. He's always had my best interest at heart, and with his guidance my career has skyrocketed in the past year. Thank you so much for your continued support and mentorship, Mathew.
Second, I'd like to thank my sponsor Clorox. Clorox has done a lot for me globally by featuring me in their advertisements and commercials to increase my profile as a worldwide icon and star. I'm sincerely grateful for their belief in me and taking a chance that I could help raise the use of bleach all across the globe.
Finally, I'd like to thank the fans. You guys have been so supportive. I love all of you and look forward to receiving even more love, encouragement, and well wishes. Everyone that voted for me is a truly special person that deserves nothing but the best in life. It's such an honor to represent your great taste by accepting this award tonight.
Thank you all so very much.
