The point of acting is to make it look like you're not acting. So... technically, all you guys complaining about how she can't act because it doesn't look like she's 'acting' don't really know anything about acting.
@FlaxAttack93 why would I lie about reading the books:p, I actually read them and Jenny doesn't look like her character at all but i was talking about serena blair chuck nate and dan NOT jenny and vanessa
Most of these comments are clueless. This is a really good audition. Why? Because she is expressive but doesn't seem like she's acting. Do you realize how difficult that is?
For the character it was almost perfect because Serena just looks good, is charming and makes excuses wherever she goes. That's the dramaqueen for you. But it's not her fault, she is the key role to make the drama a drama.
shes cute and can act.. i never seen gossip girls nor care much for soap operas ..but i seen this broad do the town and i thought she was pretty good in it ..and shes hott
@xoxotyyy even if she did all those things (i only believe the nose job, though) does it matter? maybe she feels more secure now since her nose looks a (tiny) bit different.
I love Blake and I love Serena's character, it doesn't get the amount of attention is deserves. Blake is perfect for the character! <3 she's so beautiful.
i love serena and blair and jenny, i love nate too he is so hott but i think leighton is a better actress and really good at what she does i want her and chuck to get back together i haven't seen the 5th season i hope chuck is blair's baby's father
I love Blake in just about everything else she's done, but I can't stand her on Gossip Girl. Serena is so one-dimensional, plus Blake was not who I pictured for the part at all!
@missingiuggia not being pretty enough,but sometimes not being the right age a casting director wants, height, gender or sadly race.There are many actress's of similar age (who you haven't mentioned)who are black fighting twice as hard for half the recognition a selena gomez or a Natalie Portman easily gets or who ever else would get, who are just as if not prettier or talented.Don't see how her dating Di caprio is a problem.There's a line between her work and no offense,it being your business.
@missingiuggia I detest hollywood too, but as I am sure you do not know, most of them live in New York. I am from London, and spent some time in NY and LA, NY seems less superficial. Blake seems like a sweetheart just look at most of her interviews. This is her job, she is gifted can't help that. Who you prefer is your problem, but I think in a society where women are catty and judgmental does nothing to push us forward as a race, its bull shit. Women don't get roles not just for
I agree that Leighton is a better actress, and I definitely prefer her. However, I think that Blake is often unfairly judged. If Serena was written to be half as interesting as Blair, I think Blake would have more opportunities to show off her skills. She was absolutely incredible in The Town, and has been cast on the spot by directors more than once who didn't even know anything about Gossip Girl. That definitely says something.
@missingiuggia i agree, when it comes to beauty, i think leighton meester is way more beautiful,morever shes a better actress too, wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy more talented!!!
@TheVirtuous20 I think beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Before we judge anybody else, especially as catty as it is to judge your fellow female not to mention belittling and reflects your own insecurities, you must look at yourself first, buy a mirror.
@HearWithoutPrejudice wat d fk are u talkin about, i didnt say blake was not beautiful, just said that in my opinion leighton was way more talented and beautiful, how does that show my insecurity in any way. every1 has a right to their opinion, so y dont u go preach somewhere else grandpa!!!!
Well, what do you define as "Acting"? Because she play's the teenage role well. There not looking for Bette Davis, there looking for an actress whose believable, and look's good. And hey if she can bring Meryl Streep to the table, then PLUS TWO.
i don't think this is bad! it comes across as really sincere. so she moves her hands around a lot and everything but she's playing a teenage girl, so what?
Leighton and Ed are the best actors from GG, I guess. They manage to make the most stupid story watchable. Penn is good, but Chace and Blake aren't. I think the problem with Chace might be that his storylines suck (throughout the entire series he has nothing to do but date random girls) and he doesn't get the chance to improve. Ok, Blake's stories aren't that great either, but at least she gets more screentime which is a great way to practice. Unfortunately I cannot see a difference.
I think that Ed was capable to bring some depth into Chuck even BEFORE there actually was a storyline that showed hidden fears and desires. He manages to put on a American accent and changed his voice entirely until it suited the character.
Penn is a a good actor, too, as he makes Dan a believable person, but I just think Ed brings more depth into his character than Penn does, getting people to like Chuck even though he can be really coldhearted.
@ggandoth I think Ed westwick and Penn Badgley are perfect to play Chuck and Dan.. They are perfect for their characters and I expected them to be this way when i read the books. But you're right, I expected vanesse to be different, (cause she has hair and in the books she is nicer hahaha)
it's too bad that GG is becoming more Blair's show ... it could be a bit more about Serena again, but in a good way, no drugs and sex stories, but really true love ... .like it was with Dan in Season 1.
@rockisbetter I do that too. It has to do with speech and how you want to sound like. In this case I assume that she wants to sound more (insecure) maybe. I do this for Drama class when ii have shy characters. Cause she doesn't do that all the time; ya know?
I love leighton and blake both but I like Blair wayy better than Serena in gg, serena's so boring and anoying and Blairs character is so mutch fun! But I think blake's a good actress to because she really IS Serena. All the actors and actresses just are so perfect for their characters. I've read the books and the actors are exactly the way I expected them to be.
@fashionloverrrrr If you read the books how could the characters be the way you pictured them? In the book, Jenny was a busty girl with brown, curly hair!
i don't like her role in in gg.When you have the comparison between her and leighton, you can see that leighton is way better! This doesn't mean she's bad in acting, it's just that i don't like her presence while she's doing it..
@Jesusismyonlylove77 I don't know, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants is one of my favorite movies and its pretty much because of her role in it (i loved the books too). I even cried a few times during the movie so she's good enough for me. just being honest
@afenali Oh hey it's alright. We all are different and we have our own perceptions. She may be good I guess I'm just not a fan of her. I liked that movie too. It was pretty good.
ive seen gossip girl episodes soo many times.. i can tell which of these liines ended up in the final scene! haha and that is definitely not leighton meester in the background..
@darkeshadowangel I know... thats why I said the 'person' reading with her. Not actress. I'm just saying that obviously makes it a lot harder in auditions so thats why her acting looks so bad.
