Eye rolls and nose scrunches can't really be compared directly. Eye rolls are what you might do to communicate non-verbally about something dumb or strange, like when you are a teen and you eye roll everything your parents say. The eye roll in En Concert tied into the lyrics she was singing. Same with the shoulder shrug.

There is really no pattern with the nose scrunch. One performance she is full of them, then another, same song, only a few. Interestingly, I don't ever recall seeing a nose scrunch in any performance of JEAM. Of all her dances, JEAM is the most difficult by a big margin. She is not just up there wiggling her hips. Then add singing (or lip syncing), and she needs to be deep in concentration. There probably wasn't the thought of her needing to work a nose scrunch or two into the performance. I think it is an extension of her personality that just naturally comes out when she is in the right frame of mind.

I agree, we tend to do that here. Alizee is serious business
