Corrected entry: At the beginning of the "Joyful, Joyful" performance, Rita stalls twice before she actually starts to sing. If you look in the background, you will see the girl who is supposed to be doing the sign language doesn't do anything. But on the third time, she starts to sign before Rita even begins to sing, how did she know that Rita would actually start singing the third time?

Correction: When something like this happens there is usually a cue that the two will go by to note that something is going to happen. It is a safe bet to say that the girl doing sign language knew not to do the sign language until Rita brings the microphone up to sing. If you notice the first two times Rita kept it low, but the third time she brings it up and the girl in the background follows suit a second afterwards. (The girl was looking at Rita for the cue to start.)
