AMAs 2016: Gigi Hadid Starts Show With Melania Trump Impression, Victoria Secret Angel's Hosting Trashed?

 The 2016 American Music Awards debuted Gigi Hadid's first hosting stint joined by 'SNL's' Jay Pharoah. The decision of getting the Hadid-Pharoah tandem did not turn out pretty well as some viewers trashed Victoria Secret Angel's hosting skills when she started doing a Melania Trump impression.

If compared to music, Gigi Hadid and Jay Pharoah came from different genres. At first, it did not make any sense seeing them both onstage until their short yet contentious 'performance'.

Hadid and Pharoah thought they were making the AMAs great again but apparently they disappointed a number of viewers. After telling the audience that they would not touch the topic on the electoral college, both did impressions of the future FLOTUS and POTUS, Melania and Donald Trump.

The Victoria Secret model Gigi Hadid started by dissing Melania Trump for her plagiarized speech. The 21-year-old model even tried distorting her face trying to look like the future FLOTUS.

After some necessary intros, Pharoah did his Donald Trump impression. Although it was not as good as Alec Baldwin's, the comedian did funk it up.

However, several viewers reacted via their social media accounts expressing their embarrassment, and specifically criticized the Victoria Secret model Gigi Hadid. Reports have it that some even questioned who decided to make them the AMAs hosts.

But not all AMAs viewer was against Hadid or both of them. There were also some who complimented her hosting style. The 2016 American Music Awards airs on ABC.
