Polar, unconscious function signalling during creative performance. (Tori Amos)

[Rua]

Hmm, it has been a week now, and I do not have the consistent accuracy level I require of myself to open the request thread in good faith. The vultology report and the current knowledge of psychology and signals combine to form a very good diagnostic tool, but the more I apply it, the more questions it ultimately raises on a whole host of topics. In the meantime, I'll post something very interesting I stumbled across while tunneling some rabbit hole.
Tori Amos (FiSe) III- [Unseelie]


From **4:20 to 4:25** Tori goes into a Te #6 [Snippy Head Nods] just prior to switching from Fi's Sprite-like Voice to Te's Nasal Monotone Voice, and then delivering the line "I always wanted you to be proud of me," in reference to her father (possibly meant to imitate his voice). Tori transitions through Te #1 [Plateau Emphasis], #2 [Taut Square Cheeks], #3 [Horizontally Split Cheeks],
with the Te #4 Voice still in effect throughout this block of time, and finally adds Te #5 [Snippy Headshakes] as she delivers the line, "I always wanted that...
[and right here in the middle of the line she switches back to Fi and dissolves the facial tension of Te] myself."
I highly encourage people to watch this specific section a few times to witness the extremely rapid flowing of these polar Te signals. Fascinating stuff, and a wonderful musical number.
Interestingly, at this stage in her career I am seeing her in interviews in 1992 as FiSe III- [Unseelie], though she does develop full Te later in life; to me it seems quite probable she was able to selectively channel Te on stage before it could show clear development in interviews.
Anyway, I think it's a wonderful song and performance (and Tori's quite an interesting person herself), and finding this embedded within it was a sort of happy, accidental rediscovery.

My first thought was she looks like Kate Winslet when she does that.

I got so sucked into the first video that I forgot what I was supposed to be looking for.
