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.

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?
