So much more than models! Kendall Jenner does a VERY serious dramatic reading of Justin Bieber's hit Baby - while her best pal Gigi Hadid attempts to sing her way through the ballad

  • Gigi, 21, and Kendall, 20, both performed their own version of the lyrics for a W magazine video directed by writer Lynn Hirschberg
  • While Kendall gave a very dry reading of the catchy tune, Gigi danced as she energetically sang the song 

Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner are as close as can be, and now the model due are sharing the spotlight in a new video that sees them performing a dramatic rendering of Justin Bieber's song Baby.

The two were filmed reading — or in Gigi's case singing — the lyrics from the 2010 hit for a video directed by writer Lynn Hirschberg for W magazine. 

'You guys, this is scary,' Gigi, 21, says at the start of the clip as she mentally prepares herself to start singing.

Humorous interpretation: Kendall, 20, gave a very dry reading of the catchy tune

Karaoke star: Gigi, 21, flipped her hair and waved her finger around as she sang the song 

Before she gives fans a sneak-peek at what it would be like to do karaoke with her, the blonde beauty makes it clear from the get-go that she is only willing to sing the song on camera for Lynn. 

However, Kendall, 20, sticks with the dramatic reading and starts the song off by reciting the first line: 'You know you love me, I know you care.'

'Just shout whenever and I’ll be there,' Gigi chimes in while enthusiastically bobbing her head from side to side. 

Joint effort: The two alternate between reciting the lyrics from the song, which makes for one very interesting rendition of the catchy tune

Over-the-top: Some fans who watched the footage joked that Gigi didn't quite understand the meaning of a dramatic reading 

The two are like night and day on the runway, and unsurprisingly, they both also had very different ways of approaching the challenge. 

While Kendall gives a very dry reading of the catchy tune, Gigi whips her hair back, waves her finger back and forth, and bobs up and down as she sings the song.

At the end of the clip, Kendall throws her copy of the lyrics behind her and gives the camera a wink, and Gigi insists that this is how Lynn knows that she loves her.

In the background Lynn can be heard gushing about how blown away she is by the models' individual performances, and the clip has been viewed thousands of times on YouTube. 

However, some fans joked that Gigi didn't quite get the concept of a dramatic reading, but others thought her energetic performance was simply adorable. 

Kendall and Gigi share the cover of W magazine's 10th Anniversary Art Issue, joining forces for the quirky editorial titled the Placebo Pets Project.

The models were transformed into 'humanoid pets' and photographed by Jason Kibbler for the creative spread by Lizzie Finch and Ryan Trecartin. 

During her recent interview with the magazine, Kendall admits to being besotted with Justin long before they became friends. 

'Justin Bieber was like the pop star of my time. I feel like I must have had a 12-year-old crush on him,' she said, adding: 'Not anymore though!'
