gotcha - and i had never noticed her motioning before. to be honest, i can't really say one way or the other. i don't want to just assume that she WOULDN'T toss the lead back over to diana. and i don't know at what point she usurped the lead. if mary was only singing a line or so while Diana was out, ok then that makes sense to "toss" it back. But if she had been singing for a couple minutes i'm not sure why she would. again, don't know and can't tell.
Looking at the tape, it seems as if Diana stops singing after the line "...I made a big mistake, honey. I said goodbye."
At that point is where I believe Diana may have forgotten the words and Mary jumped in. The other lines in the bridge "Ever since that day, all I want to do is cry," aren't heard at all and the next thing we see is DMC standing side by side, Diana introducing them, and Mary starting the final verse "I long for you, every night..."
