I love this post. And truth be told some of us dim our light of authenticity because we are so worried about what others think. Worrying if we are too much, too loud, too this or too that. But truth is everybody cant handle your truth and authenticity and you know what, thats ok. Because  there are plenty of folks that can and that is what is important.

Another example I would give is Jack Black. Like Corden his abs are lets say "well hidden" but he's got some serious character and authenticity. Tenacious D is just him and his friend making music to have fun and the primary focus is to amuse THEMSELVES. In all of his films he pretty much just plays himself too. His fantastic personality and sense of humour shine through and that's what make him a success more than anything

Whats up andrew! Figured I would check up on you. I didn't see any new post lately, just re-steems. I saw you on the live stream with @allasyummyfood

Ja Ja buenísimo !!!! una mezcla de expresión de emociones !!!!

Great points. I love James Cordon (and Jack Black as mentioned in other comments here) and while authenticity is probably the main factor, I believe JOY is another one. Joy is infectious - especially when it comes to James and his Karaoke. He's infecting any of his guests with it, which is why pretty much every single episode is such a "joy to watch". None of them are boring.

I mean all we do is watch two people have fun. And it's so catching, it makes up happy, too. 

I believe Joy is our true nature, so it may just be the underlying essence of our authenticity :) Unfortunately few grown ups allow their joy to be visible on the outside. 

So hey, there may be a whole different layer here and he may be mirroring to us what we all crave in a world of alternative facts and few reasons to laugh. Most of us have been "alternative faces" for too long and we all just crave authenticity and truth. But I think I'm digressing now ;) 

Thoughtful post in any case! And I hadn't seen that episode yet, so thank you :)

Interesting timing, James Corden was just on a podcast this week that I listen to where he went into a lot of detail on how he ended up doing his show, some advice he received about staying humble, etc.. its a pretty good listen.

I had "thought" I created good content..but not enough people saw it...so I am working on that ...I thought the combination of resteeming , expanding comments and daily content will help.

@andrarchy great post! It reminded me of both Robin Sharma and Seth Godin. They both are all in for authenticity and their style is similar to the style in your post. I can sense that you are a reader. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Definitely! Authenticity goes a long way. The more transparent and honest you are online, the more your output can be appreciated. That is why I love James! He's such a funny, down to earth guy. Plus, I love his carpool karaoke's - this one with Ed Sheeran was great :)

When I'm watching content or just when it comes to people in general, I definitely put far more value on their integrity, honesty, humbleness and attitude. I couldn't care less about how they look and I believe a growing majority of people are starting to look at things in this way too. Especially in social media where fakeness = greatness sadly. More people take notice to the ones who are genuine and share the bad along with the good. Highlight reels will die out.

Thanks for sharing! :)

very nice post great work

Have you every watched Gavin and Stacey?

It's great to take these professionals out of the normal element and show they are "real people" too. They have little skills and quirks like all of us, but only get attention for their musical ability. I think the Steph Curry segment might show this the most. Not everyone is a great singer, but we all love to sing along and you can really get a good appreciation of these stars with the segments James does. I think most of his other segments seem pretty staged, but these Carpool Karaokes always seem to have a few scenes that were clearly made up on the spot. The last part of the Ed Sheeran clip above proves that point. They planned the maltesers scene, but that ad libbed melody at the end add to the "authenticity" you describe in this post.

LOVE THIS!!.., I am still learning as a minnow... Thanks for the recent upvote @andrarchy! Following you now! :)

Love the video and the post is right on target as to being yourself.  That should be plenty good enough for anybody.  I think people are so weary of the "pre-packaged" and  "one  size fits all " mentality.

Totally agree - talent is important, authenticity as well, the existing relations come on top - but in the end it is the Will - the eagerness for success to never give up which makes you successful - hey second post today I upvote by you @andrarchy

When I joined steemit my blogs were not much attractive but  I learned at every point and Now they are much better than before nice post man I hope I will become a whale one day. Working Hard
