Also I noticed in the past that Jon especially did this kind of thing when being recorded - there he partly even leaned to the right side:

As soon as those ballads reach the chorus Jon does this.

Maybe some are experienced enough to tell if it was some sort of singing technique Jon used to get to those demanding notes easier? Could he put more power to the vocals that way?
I'm really too unexperienced to make any logical guess, but maybe some know what's behind this. Or was it really just some sort of habit?
Bowing your head forward makes it easier to sign the higher notes but to which side doesn't make any difference.
