Jackie often takes on what I would call a "pensive" expression just before she starts to sing, during the instrumental intro, as she gets in the zone. I remembered this one that I screen-capped long ago. Have any more recent examples?

I have to say that the way Jackie comports herself before commencing singing, and during interludes in the vocal, either with a smile or a thoughtful or reflective look, is a very attractive part of her presentation.

I've seen Jackie live three times. As the music starts she gets a far away look in her eyes and on her face. She gets taken over by the music. You can see it in her videos. It's like she isn't there anymore. She's in some special place. Then when the music is over she snaps back and she's just Jackie again. It is phenomenal.

She has been doing this since she was a child. One moment she was a 10 year old girl, when the music started she transformed into someone who had been singing for 20 years. As the last note faded away if you watched her face she once more became that little girl we all loved and now the young women we still love. As Jackie said one time, "When I sing I become possessed, I become possessed by the music."

She gets her game face on, but it's not as if she goes into a trance and is oblivious to her surroundings. To the contrary, with her 20/10 vision, she takes it all in. When she was younger, she would sometimes even play around a bit and interact with the audience between lines, doing that little shoulder shrug and giving the thumbs-up sign. I saw her do that a lot at Costa Mesa '12 and Portland '13, both Christmas concerts, btw.

As the last note faded away if you watched her face she once more became that little girl we all loved and now the young women we still love. As Jackie said one time, "When I sing I become possessed, I become possessed by the music." This was even more noticeable the first time I saw her "in person" Aug. 31, 2011 at the Meyerson in Dallas when she was only eleven; it was as though a light switch was being turned on and off, one moment she was somber and serious - the next giggly and bouncy.

A lovely juxtaposition of these two thoughtful looking young ladies.

A lovely juxtaposition of these two thoughtful looking young ladies. Once I became an active fan of Jackie I began to wonder about the experiences she shared with other young stars like Shirley Temple here. I read both of Charlotte Church's autobiographies (like so many celeb bios written with help) and after that found Shirley's wonderful Child Star which was written much later in her life and goes into great detail about her early life and stardom. Let's hope Jackie is spared some of Shirley's negative experiences like having her considerable fortune squandered by her spendthrift but well-meaning parents and being raped as a teenage starlet by a studio executive! Despite these, the book is written in a cheerful and candid style showing no remorse and filled with wonderful anecdotes about Hollywood in the 1930's and the many stars and others she worked with - that reminded me a great deal of some of Jackie's adventures.

You know, the mind is a funny thing. Random thoughts pop up all the time. Sometimes people will say a thought "intrudes", but that makes it sound like it doesn't belong. I wonder if, when on stage, Jackie has thoughts cross her mind, like something that happened at school or what TV program she wants to catch when she's back in her hotel room.
