   Is it just me, or does the still image for this video look a lot like... well... like something that's not vocal cords?

   On the higher notes, you can see that the vocal folds don't close properly, which is the reason for her breathy voice on those notes.

   And now you know.

   Bizzare... hearing a human voice from something that looks so alien.

   I really don't think I'd be able to talk or sing too well with that thing down my nose.

    I'm a speech language pathology student. Can you believe something like that is in your throat?! This amazes me. Not only are the vocal folds vibrating at intense speeds (Hz) but the very walls of the larynx are shaping the sound.

    And to dd, we might not be able to see the folds close in high notes because the strobe light might not have been set to be in sync with the hz of the note she was singing.

    I think everybody was thinking porn. I'm hoping they add something else so my browser doesn't keep refreshing to that.

    God, that was so gross I could barely look at it. I sure wasn't thinking of anything sexy. Gag. Literally!

    And as much as I worship John Barry, I like "Tomorrow Never Dies" better. Blasphemy, I know...
