[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn't feel any new ground was broken. Jen talks a great talk, very confident, offered no new insights, just word-salad galvanizing about making a better world. All very opaque, and faux-earnest.

Most troubling and quite sad was the "narrative" that showing a photo of her "slimmer" self on her Mexican vacation (whenever that was) somehow upset "her people". No mention of cosmetic surgery. Just a sort of shocked response on her part. To be clear, anyone is free to do what she wants--no judgement on the surgery. But concern over the inauthenticity. Last night, if I didn't know her backstory, I would simply think that she was a victim of confusion from her community and some sort of weird jealousy. It actually made no sense.

Her ability to speak publicly with expertise, and yet say nothing new or accurate, was incredible. [/quote]

I don’t think she’s very good on camera, actually.  I was in the business and worked with on camera talent.  If you notice pros like Oprah they never self-sooth when they’re on.  Jen constantly touches her hair and primps.  It’s coachable for sure but takes a surprising amount of work.  For someone who’s had a show and been on tv a lot she’s still a novice at this.  She’s not a natural.  Anyone who’s worked with the pros knows they are naturals and it’s like sports or music.  You got it or you don’t.

Agree on the content too.  The segment was worthless.
