Rent (or get from the library) the movie "How to succeed in business without really trying" with Robert Morse and Michelle Lee. Ms. Lee virtually dislocates her jaw when starting the 2nd verse of "I believe in you." I had all my students watch it w/o telling them what they were watching for, and almost every one of the screamed in horror ... the jaw goes left, out, right and back! Complete square!
Nice voice, though! I remember thinking she was WONDERFUL when I was a little girl (Michelle Lee, that is).
