Well the AMA’s are done and dusted for another year so let’s that a look at the winners for the 2016 American Music Awards.
Gigi Hadid and Jay Pharoah hosted this year’s AMA’s, Jay did a great job but I am afraid Gigi was really underwhelming and I was constantly wondering what she was on? This year’s performers and their performances really took it up a notch this year and knocked it out of the park, except Bieber who just jumped around while the tweens lost their shit over him, I know, I really don’t get it but I’m 35 and grumpy so maybe I’m not meant to get? My four favourite performances of the night were Twenty One Pilots, Lady Gaga (Goddess) and my all time favourite boys Green Day and Sting.
There were a few deserving artists this year however, you can see the main age group of votes, it is clear that popularity wins over talent in a few of the categories. I was quite taken aback at Ariana Grande winning artist of the year, sorry love but I thought there were more deserving candidates. I need to also make mention of Selena Gomez’s speech, I loved it and the fact that she used that time to get a message across to you girls and women Kudos Selena! Right here is the full list of winners from the night.
