2016 AMAs Recap

Last year’s AMAs may have been the best ever. What’s better than the best? This year the AMAs tried to do the impossible and succeeded.

Hats off to Gigi Hadid and Jay Pharaoh for hosting. Hadid was hot as ever and Pharaoh was funny as hell. It was an interesting combination.

Plus, let’s acknowledge Bruno Mars’ grand entrance. Bruno Mars displayed master showmanship. You must have loved those incredible dance moves he stuck. He didn’t miss a beat. And he didn’t miss a note singing either.

Fans were treated to an amazing show. Fifth Harmony immediately grabbed everybody’s attention. They showed the world why they are the fabulous five last night.

The Weeknd made his triumph return. And it seemed like Drake took home every award imaginable. It was nice seeing fellow Canadians Justin Bieber (via Europe tour) and Shawn Mendes perform.

Niall Horan did his number. Lady Gaga did her thing. Robert Downey Jr. did a tribute to Sting.

You had all the Hollywood stars there.

One could argue Sunday night belonged to Green Day. Other big winners included Twenty One Pilots, Selena Gomez, Ariana Grande and the Chainsmokers. Talk about sensational. Twenty One Pilots turned the stage into an airplane.

What were your favorite moments from last night’s AMAs? Do you think Jennifer Lopez set the bar to high for the new hosts? Were you highly entertained or did you snooze away? What didn’t you like?

I think Shawn Mendes Treat You Better could have been better. It was just okay if I’m being honest. However, his Mercy performance was above average border lining great. I believe he was a bit nervous.

Overall, you can’t underestimate the entertainment value of the AMAs. From Lady Gaga to Sting, every performance had exceptional merit. We may not have liked everything but we can agree on some things. For one thing the AMAs were very entertaining.

Why Charlie Puth Is a Big Name

Charlie Puth is only in the beginning stages of a promising music career. What is more, he is multitalented and more than capable of playing the keys like a young Elton John. That’s why his vocals and piano skills are prominently displayed in the See You Again and One Call Away music videos.

Right now, the 24 year old is sending a message loud and clear with his Nine Track Mind album. Listen to Charlie Puth’s Marvin Gaye song featuring Meghan Trainor for proof. Better yet, watch this widely popular AMA performance below.

Does that have the Spiderman/ Tobey Maguire- Kirsten Dunst upside down kiss beat or what? You see Charlie beat the odds because right from the start, he didn’t care about the odds. Plus, Puth beat the odds because he’s from New Jersey.

Everybody I know from Jersey is a rough rider. If Charlie were born and raised in Wyoming, he would still be struggling as a music artist. I’m having some fun here but there’s a grain of truth to that statement.

Before becoming famous, Charlie created a YouTube channel and gained a large following. Presently his social media accounts are experiencing rapid growth in number of fans and engagement. Across the Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook platforms Charlie easily leads 5 million followers.

He sounds and looks like a mix between Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber. As far as style, he is a straight Sam Smith. Substance-wise, his lyrics are on par with Gnarls Barkley NOT Charles Barkley.

In other words, Charlie Puth receives high marks on his creativity as a songwriter. Like Ed Sheeran, I wouldn’t be surprised if Charlie wrote a few songs for One Direction in the future. It seems Charlie Puth and Harry Styles are becoming good friends in the studio.

The music artist makes the stage his canvas. Charlie Puth is a big name because he has big potential. He is somebody to watch for years to come.

The Rising Stardom of Meghan Trainor

Last year Meghan Trainor rose to fame with her hit song All About That Bass. Right now Meghan’s music video has amassed over 1.2 billion views on YouTube. The rising star has a bright future.

Her clear voice commands attention. I believe Meghan Trainor could become a pop idol if she keeps up the good work. Time is on the 22 year old’s side. Moreover, working with John Legend and Charlie Puth supports her cause.

She is a fine singer, who seems to be fulfilling her dreams and potential. There are too many musicians wasting their talent. Substance abuse is often the main culprit.

Celebrities must resist temptations everyday.

Once you conquer the demons, the sky opens up for you. Trainor should stay on the right course and not get distracted.

Thank goodness the Like I’m Gonna Lose Yousinger was discovered. Born and raised in a small town in Massachusetts, Meghan now resides in Los Angeles. Though she is hardly at home because the entertainment business demands a large chunk of her time.

Trainor’s Title album was certified platinum. I have a feeling that her Thank You album will also gain platinum status. Meghan appeals to a wide demographic because she doesn’t have trouble with displaying her curves. Women should have a healthy body image like Meghan no matter their size. Be comfortable in your skin even if you’re thin.

The reason for this young entertainer’s success is that she’s different. There is nobody else like Meghan Trainor in show business. What is more, when it’s show time she turns up the temperature.

Check out her 2015 AMAs performance if you haven’t done so already. The hot blonde deserves to be on top of the Billboard Hot 100. Plus, she appears to have a good attitude. Trainor hasn’t turned into a stuck-up diva.

I believe she’s a little sweetie because she had a good upbringing. Her family pictures are all over Instagram. The Dear Future Husband songstress is a jewel. I’m happy to see the rising stardom of Meghan Trainor.

AMAs Recap

It was a spectacular celebration at the AMAs last night. Jennifer Lopez started singing her hit song Waiting for Tonight. Then, out of nowhere she broke into dancing to this year’s most popular music. She had help from dozens of dancers.

Trivia: AMAs stands for American Music Awards

There were too many shows to mention them all. Hopefully, I highlight the best ones. At Guru Jay, I provide the best entertainment.

The Weeknd won the first award, presented by Prince. Later in the show, the Hills singer performed his classic. He literally set the stage on fire. I was worried he might burn to a crisp and they would have to evacuate the building.

All the stars came out for the night. Everything you could want to happen happened. There was tongue kissing, confetti falling, and nudity.

Gwen Stefani arrived on the red carpet wearing a naked dress. Right now her dress is a major trend on social media. While singing Used to Love You, Gwen had the crowd shedding tears.

Also, Nick Jonas gave a nice performance. He had a lively choir back him up on Jealous. I keep saying he is the future Justin Timberlake.

Additionally, rivals Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez delivered exciting routines. Plus, Coldplay put on a colorful show featuring dancers in gorilla-suits.

One Direction took home Artist of the Year again. I thought Taylor Swift deserve it for her 1989 album. This is what I call “music politics.”

The media hyped Taylor Swift all year. Radio constantly blasted Shake It Off, Bad Blood, and Blank Space. I’m not the biggest “Swifty,” but I give credit where it is due. Taylor got robbed.

Finally, Justin Bieber closed the AMAs like only he could do. The Biebs performed What Do You Mean, Where Are U Now, and Sorry. Did you get a glimpse of the AMAs?
