That apology video from the singer who messed up in Chicago last month felt so fake

I watched it frame by frame and noticed he never actually said 'I'm sorry' to the fans who bought tickets. He just kept saying stuff like 'the situation was unfortunate' and 'I'm growing.' He looked at the camera for exactly 3 seconds before cutting to a shot of him with his guitar. Has anyone else seen a celeb use a prop like that to look more sincere?

Spot on, that drives me crazy. It feels like they're following a PR script instead of just talking to people. I've seen so many of those apology videos where they hold a pet or sit in a plain room to seem humble. It just makes the whole thing feel more fake, not less. You can always tell when someone means it and when they're just trying to save face.

Honestly I used to buy those apology videos. Now I just see a guy reading lines off a card.

Consider how hard it would be to look sincere with millions watching you. I actually feel for them, Emma_baker61. They have to get the words exactly right to avoid more trouble. Reading from a card means they are being careful, not that they are lying. The plain background just removes distractions so you hear the message. Maybe we are too quick to call everything fake now.
