[VIDEO] PEOPLE: CHRISTINA AGUILERA TAKES EMOTIONAL TRUP TO RWANDA

[SMART-PHONE FRIENDLY]
Christina Aguilera knew visiting war-torn Rwanda would be eye-opening. But it wasn't until she spent time in Kigali, Rwanda, on a hunger relief mission this June – visiting refugee camps and seeing the severe poverty firsthand – that she discovered just how profoundly moving the experience would be.

"This trip came at a time when I really needed to step away and connect with bigger issues in the world, [and] this trip really touched me in a way I never felt before," says Aguilera, who is the global spokesperson for Yum! Brands World Hunger Relief effort and an Ambassador Against Hunger for the UN World Food Programme.

"I came home and really wondered about why some people are born to some situations and others are born in a different place," The Voice star tells PEOPLE. "I had to come to terms with a little guilt even for coming home and not doing more. The people of Rwanda touched me in a way I cannot express or put into words. They are in a place that needs our help and I am so proud of the work that we are doing there."

The time she spent with hundreds of Rwandan children during the trip was especially poignant for the Aguilera, who couldn't help but think of her 5-year-old, Max.

"After the birth of my son, I started looking into causes that touched me as a mother and I was so moved by the work the World Food Programme and Yum! did," says Aguilera, who has also visited Haiti and Guatemala on behalf of the group.

"As a mom, to know that there are kids that go to bed hungry is just not acceptable. Food is a human right in my mind and knowing that I can help means so much. In Rwanda, we visited a school. The kids walk approximately two miles to get there, not only to learn but for many this is their only meal of the day."

Even with her busy career and hectic life as a working mom, Aguilera has no plans to stop trying to help fight world hunger. Almost as soon as she returned home from Rwanda, she was sure of one thing: "I know I will go back."

Check out what some had to say about our girl's killer performance and killer body after the jump.

Dailymail:

It wasn't just her famous voice that took everyone's breath away. Christina Aguilera's fabulously slim figure was the eye-catcher as she performed on stage at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas on Sunday. The 32-year-old The Voice judge wore a plunging black mini-dress that showed off her cleavage and slender limbs.

People:

Christina Aguilera's sexy slim-down continues. The Voice coach showed off a slender figure while performing at the Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas on Sunday. Wearing a short black skirt and black top, the singer joined Pitbull for their song "Feel This Moment."

Us Weekly:

It's an Xtina Renaissance! Christina Aguilera took the stage at the Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas on Sunday, May 19 -- and proved that her much-ogled, slimmed-down body is no Photoshop trick. Crooning "Feel This Moment" with Pitbull, the 32-year-old singer and mom showcased, once again, her slimmed, toned figure in a short black skirt and black top. She accentuated her v. 2013 look with an understated makeup look. The superstar has been slowly revealing her slimmed-down over the past several months: Last week via Twitter and Facebook, she posed in in a bra top and black pencil skirt, checking out an ocean view from her balcony. She also made comment-causing appearances at the Time 100 Gala and a March Voice event.

Hollywood Life:

Looking good, Christina Aguilera! There were a lot of sexy singers at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards on May 19, but the diva definitely stood out when she took the stage with Pitbull to perform “Feel This Moment” and showed off her newly svelte body. Do you think this is the best she’s ever looked? Christina and Pitbull, both 32, got the energy of the crowd at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas up with a rousing performance of “Feel This Moment” that had everybody singing along — and then surprised all of us when Morten Harket, the lead singer of ’80s pop band A-ha, came out to sing “Take On Me” with them! Wearing a flirty black mini, The Voice judge showed off her toned legs and slimmer figure. She looks phenomenal! She’s lost over 20 pounds, and has talked in the past about her struggles with weight in the February 2012 issue of Marie Claire

Examiner:

Singer Christina Aguilera showcased her stunning weight loss at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas May 19. Aguilera wore a body-hugging short black dress with an empire waist that spotlighted her slender torso.
Christina's dramatic weight-loss reveal at the Billboard Music Awards came just four days after she flaunted her slimmed-down physique in a sizzling Twitter photo.

Musicfix (MSN):

Christina Aguilera, is that really you? We couldn't believe our eyes when Xtina rose from the stage at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards today looking, well, like she did 10 years ago. Debuting her svelte new figure in a cute little black dress, Xtina delivered a classic awards ceremony "wow" moment

PerezHilton:

Did we mention how much we've LOVING Xtina's new look? Christina Aguilera has been wowing us on the red carpet lately and, though she skipped the Billboard Music Awards' blue carpet, she KICKED ASS during her performance of Feel This Moment with Pitbull. The 32-year-old cut a supremely STRIKING figure in Versace top with plunging neckline and gold fringe, a Herve Leger skirt and Christian Louboutin heels. Simple yet sublime — this is how Xtina should ALWAYS dress! And those luscious golden curls were the cherry on top!

E! News:

Besides Nicki Minaj's twerking and Miguel's kicking mishap, there was another star who truly wowed on last night's Billboard Music Awards stage: Christina Aguilera. Accompanying Pitbull for their song "Feel This Moment," The Voice coach belted out high notes in a simple LBD. Sure, the singer's vocals were pitch perfect as always but it was her slender figure that really had fans buzzing. This is the second time the star has opted for a basic black ensemble to flaunt her newly slender physique. Last week the singer tweeted a photo wearing black bra and matching pencil skirt. Sources close to Aguilera confirm she has taking a healthy approach to her body makeover. "[She's] making herself a priority, trying new exercises and trying things she loves and enjoys rather than stuff to just 'lose weight.' This is really from the inside out." Looking good Xtina!

Wetpaint:

If anyone questioned Christina Aguilera’s decision to take some time off from The Voice to focus on her music career and getting back in shape, they certainly understand why she made the choice now.? The sexy starlet has been shedding pounds and toning up for months as she enjoys her hiatus from Season 4 of the hit show. In March 2013 she surprised the cast by attending the Los Angeles premiere looking trim and keeping her makeup light and natural. Then in April 2013 she dazzled on the red carpet at the TIME 100 Gala in a sexy black Victoria Beckham gown. And on May 15, the singer tweeted a photo on the set of her new music video looking sexier than ever. Wearing a black bra and skin-tight pencil skirt, Xtina bared her midriff, which is looking more toned than ever. She paired the sexy getup with some black pumps while wearing her platinum blonde locks down with a natural wave. Homegirl really is looking better than we’ve seen her since she started The Voice more than two years ago and we couldn’t be more proud. The latest reports are that Christina will be returning to The Voice in Season 5 and at the rate she’s going, she’s sure to shock us with a trim blind auditions look!

What are your thoughts on Xtina's amazing transformation?
