Good vs Bad TED Talk

Good: How to raise a black son in America by Clint Smith
https://www.ted.com/talks/clint_smith_how_to_raise_a_black_son_in_america
Clint Smith's speech on how to raise an African American boy in America was kind of interesting. He talks about his childhood but the way he delivers, it almost sounds like he is talking about someone else but had the perfect amount of detail to let you know that he was talking about himself and his parents. He mentions his definition of the new saying "Black Lives Matter" to a point where it doesn't mean that everybody else or any other race does not matter, but merely because African Americans are the ones who are for some reason, at risk. They are usually the ones being killed by "police forces and vigilantes." Another reason why I thought it was a good event for him because he was very passionate about everything detail he was giving out. The tone of his voice and his technique, almost made it feel like you were watching a poetry aloud performance. He never actually became biased towards African Americans but was clearly giving out facts of what is happening in general, and how he feels about it. Regarding the quality of his performance, it was outstanding. Since what he was saying was coming from the heart he knew exactly what he had to say and made sure that he projected his voice towards every major angle in the event room.

Bad: Wearing nothing new by Jessi Arlington

In this performance, it felt as if the topic was not important. I have nothing wrong with people giving their full opinion, but in this particular speech, most of the time it sounded like she just wants to let you know what she does with her clothes. Now if she was talking about different ways or techniques to help other women with their clothes and selections, then that's different. But to me, it just felt like she was telling the audience what she's doing with part of her life. I didn't feel any inspiration towards it. Regarding giving the speech or performance, she did well, again, it was all about her so she knew exactly what she had to talk about and it seemed like she was ready for it.
