question about something....


What is she doing in her room at the beginning, where it is dark, looking in her mirror, and doing something that I can best describe as grunting at herself. Was she trying to sober up or something?? Any answer would help.

do you mean when she was in front of a mirror surrounded by candles? i thought she was warming up for the show. i never thought that she was sobering up, but that's a possibility...

I think she was trying to psych herself up like many football players do before a big game. get the adrenalin going etc.

I believe she was warming up. You can't just get out on a stage and start singing like that, cold. It will shred your vocal chords.

I totally agree with your answer. Exactly!!!!

It's called 'Tiger breathing' and is used to pull energy into the body from the atmosphere, Prana, and send it rushing through the chakras and thus, energizing the body.
