Her 90 degree angle is pretty good though...

Tone is laughable, air support disappears at the end of each tongued note and sounds the lower octaves, technique is terrible and messy (thus the flubs between the notes)... why is she on this site? She's corrupting young flutists around the world!

I have to second what the other person said. You are not demonstrating the correct fingering for Bb. The correct fingering requires you to put your left-hand thumb on the triangular-shaped key to the right of the one you are using. The right-hand index finger should be down. The fingering you are demonstrating is an alternate fingering called the "Thumb Bb" which is ideal for certain situations, but not in all situations.
