Is there something wrong with her ear?

[k8fan]

@funnygreat She's fiddling with her "in-ear monitor" or "IEM", which is a type of high-end earphone. It's how she is hearing the other musicians and herself. And for some reason it is not fitting well in her ear. Either that, or she is pulling it in and out of her ear, which a lot of performers do to change what they hear, mixing between the sound from the monitor and the sound from the rest of the band live.

This was early in the use of IEMs, and they came up with techniques that worked better

I missed this when it aired because I was at their show in Las Vegas that night. Their appearance on Jay was why they were late getting to the show. They had literally just flown into Vegas from LA and went straight to the show.

I like that thing she does...but I think she does it too much here. She seems nervous.
