@hollywood9619 Then your mother is definitely NOT deaf. She did ASL perfectly. If you and your mother couldn't understand what she signed ASL perfectly then you sure never had communicate with your mother in your own lifetime.
@joshiesworld no it's just that she's is using newer signs that i have never seen before. i have nothing against her signing. There are different versions of ASL. She's amazing.
I've learned linguistically SEE PSE ESL MCE aren't real languages. The "languages" are borrowing from English grammar. I would never judge someone who used SEE PSE ESL MCE to communicate however the person identifies themselves. Being able to communicate is the most important thing. My point is Kelly does't need to change the the target language. If she was interpreting for you she would try to make the language more accessible to met your needs of communication, i.e. ESL.
SHeer brilliancy, its almost lunatic! . I enjoyed it immensely and a Beyonce note. In which now I am able to connect to artist by viewing through you! Superbly done!
Ever consider "One Love" D. Guetta and Estelle? LMK if you do!
Well done! Your interpretation was well done, your signs were clear, and your facial experssions were beautiful! I think even a non signer would get what you were saying.
WOW! this is absolutely amazing.. i love that you don't sign exactly what she's saying but you kinda make it your own, that's really awesome. :) keep doin what you do!!! :D
You are amazing that can put music to ASL... Love it... smiling... You know how to make English to ASL... Not many terp can do like you do... because you truly are amazing person in hearts.. smiling... You have a man should be proud to have you smiling..
Finally! A song that's actually INTERPRETED with real ASL. I'm a newbie interpreter but in my opinion, your interpretation was wonderful, spot onto the point, and full of proper space, prosody, and plays on signs (with lots of appropriate expansion features). Thanks for the great post!
so i know nothing about asl, but i LOVE to watch you! could you kind of "translate" it? i really want to learn! or is it like a "direct translation"? either way this is really awesome!
@thetoasterpenguin She really is a good signer! I like to watch her too! i don't think she's signing the exact words, and so i'm not really sure if she could translate...have you watched her video where she signs "grenade" by bruno mars??? That one is really good!!! And i think you should learn sign language, i'm in high school and i think it's really fun! But that could just be my teacher and my class and how we're being taught.
I just start to learn ASL recently, am hard of hearing. I can sign some simple words now. I joined a great deaf daing site, ----Deafornot dot c om----, and met some good deaf/HOH friends over there. They help me to learn ASL.
Hopefully someday I will be as good as you. My ASL teacher told my mother I had a gift and since then I have been watching your videos nonstop and I take notes and rehears signs that you use. You're my inspiration :)
The sign at 0:25 where you place your hand to your chin and pull your fingers together. What are you signing?? I noticed you use that sign a lot in your videos and haven't been able to figure out what your signing there. But I LOVE watching your videos. Your an amazing interpreter and artist. I just hope one day my interpreting skills are as amazing as yours!! Keep the videos rollin' seems like i'm not the only one that likes them!
I have been trying to figure out what this one particular sign is, and you do it at 1:38 , where you do the open 8 handshape with both hands towards the camera... I was wondering if you could tell me what sign that is? I can't figure it out, and I've seen it in a few stories I've been watching, and I cannot place it. I'd ask my sister, but she's not near me (she lives like 3 hours away.. so close, but not close enough) and while I was thinking about it, I'd thought I'd ask. . . Much Mahalo's!
You're the first person I found so far who signs true ASL. I'm hearing but am learning ASL [true ASL] as my foreign language in school. I'll be subbing to you! =D
i love your interpretation and your signing literally brought tears to my eyes. as someone who is fluent in ASL, i appreciate what you do so so much. you're amazing, keep it up :)
I would love if you showed your Glossing....I really want to understand everything your signing. I'm an ASL 3 student and i understand pretty much everything but I want to know all your signs so i can expand my vocabulary.
Your use of classifiers is phenomenal. I am going to a classifier workshop next weekend in hopes of learning something. Where did you learn your ASL? And for the 100th time, I will say it again: I love your videos, you are amazing!!! =)
I agree with @CLDeafies. If this is bad, could you explain what "good ASL" is?! LOL! I mean, I'm hearing and not completely fluent in ASL (yet!!!), but I do realize the difference between good ASL and bad ASL and, honey, this is GOOD ASL!!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep doing what you're doing because you have GREAT facial expressions (some Signers don't), you really seem "into it" (some aren't), and you don't use PSE and try to pass it off as ASL (many do).
I just start to learn ASL recently, am hard of hearing. I can sign some simple words now. I joined a great deaf daing site, ----Deafornot dot c om----, and met some good deaf/HOH friends over there. They help me to learn ASL.

you feel this one was "off"?!?! i wish i was that good on my best day!!! you are so amazing!!!! i hope one day to be as well as you are!!! people like you make me try harder and set my goals higher!!! thanks!!! :)
Absolutely LOVE this video. All your videos are great, but love this one in particular. I've been interpreting for 4 years, certified, bachelors and masters in interpreting - but wish I could interpret music like you do. What did you do to become so conceptually accurate with music? Self-study? Workshops? Other people? Do you take requests for songs? Keep it up. I love coming back and watching your songs!
You are very, very talented. I love to watch you-- whatever you do. (You really felt that this performance was "off"?!? If this is bad, what's good?!?) It is soooo nice to see real ASL on youtube. (Or anywhere.) I am sick to death of all of the English Signing. (And people who have no skill "teaching".) UGH.
Keep at it. You need to make a series of DVDs for newbies one of these days. I would buy them for my students.
i know that u said that u r deaf and u r sick of english signing and that people with no skill r on youtube doing asl.
but plz remember that ur comment was affensive in a way, and did u know that ASL is different parts of the country ,i have acctually known people who know 2 different asl languages,i can not read this girls signs but it is full of emotion she learned it this way,but remember that just because someone doesnt do it the same as u doesnt mean that ur way of asl is right.
@tmrmga12 and my mother does asl and she can not read this girls sign,because of different ways to interpret asl they make different books on asl,by ur comment u just told america that ur asl is right for sure , i have a book that says american sign language on the front,and the signs in her video r different from some of the signs in my book,so does this mean false ads on so many books and videos,no it just means that it is interpreted in so many different ways,
@tmrmga12 Umm, I find it hard to see how this could be offensive to anyone. It is common knowledge that the majority of ASL music videos aren't actually in ASL, rather they are exact English translations. CLDeafies, I believe, was simply praising the effort this girl put into making sure her videos were actually in ASL. Also, I don't see where CLDeafies said anywhere that their sign language was better than anyone else's. "real ASL" simply refers to using ASL as opposed to signing in English.
@wolfenprincess1 I personally, however, am curious as to how you can know ASL and yet not know one sign in this video, and I would like to know which videos you are using. You are keeping in mind, of course, that the girl is using American Sign Language and, to my knowledge, there isn't more than one American Sign Language, even if you take into account regional dialects? (Not to say there aren't other Sign Languages.)
well im sorry but that persons comment ws offensive to me and maybe others , because signing things have been around since native americans and maybe longer but no one can say whos asl is right and wich is wich just because an asl pro labels it that way doesnt mean its correct or incorrect , it all depends on the area u r in
@tmrmga12 No, sorry, but that just isn't right tmrmga. There IS proper ASL, just like there is proper English, proper Spanish, or any other language. You can't just say, "Well everyone signs differently" because then there would be nothing to separate ASL from, for example, Brazilian Sign Language. The language that Native American used (PISL) has been around for a long time, but it is a distinct language from ASL and I'm confused why you mention it, especially since ASL more related to LSF.
i didnt say its completely different everywhere u go but i have seen two different people sign in different asl , so because ur asl is more commely used does that make yours right , ok so then i say pink is acctually green as of now because i say it is, ur response would be but everyone knows its green, see asl changes slightly very very slightly in different areas, and i understand what this girl is signing because its simalir to the asl i use , but i cant read her signs
I'm pretty sure that since @CLDeafies is Deaf, she KNOWS that there is different ASL all over the country. The problem is not the specific signs that people use, but the grammatical structure of the language itself. Too many people are using ESL or PSE, and trying to pass it off as ASL on youtube. ASL is the language of the Deaf, and although people do use different signs all over the country, the basic grammar is still the same.
@thebritishgirl3 yes i understand that but weather you do PSE or SEE ESL or ASL
it is all a form of sign language , sign language is signing with your hands , AND ASL IS NOT THE LANGUAGE OF THE DEAF, sign language is the language of the deaf , when u say ASL is the language of the deaf you are inculeding all deaf people on earth , i know deaf people who do not use ASL , i am just trying to prove a point that ASL is not the main nor is it the better language for deaf people
@tmrmga12 All forms of sign language ( PSE ,SEE,ESL,or ASL) are correct , and yes ASL is a beautiful form of sign language , but then again ASL is not the exact interpretation of a song , thats why a lot of people prefer ESL because its an exact translation and then you acctually know what the song is saying , im not saying any r better than the other , im just trying to get it around to people that sign language is sign language and there is no better or wrong one
@tmrmga12 PSE SEE ESL MCE are not real languages. It's hearing people borrowing from signs and trying to call it a language. When a Deaf/deaf consumer watches PSE SEE ESL MCE and has learned ASL, (or other signed languages), there native language-a visual language, they will not understand. ASL has different grammar. Signing exact English doesn't make any sense visually. There is no written form of ASL just GLOSS. GLOSS is no where close to describing what is being signed.
@Calalillies1 i understand what your trying to say, but how rude of you to say they are not real languages. if someone speaks it , its a language , and deaf people dont just use ASL , okay. i see deaf people using SEE PSE AND ESL , if they are being used by ACTUAL DEAF PEOPLE then its a language , ASL is no better than the rest and ESL is not better than ASL , they are all equal languages to the deaf ,
The best part of this is the "cocky" walk off! OMG you are so AMAZING!! My Deaf daughter would benefit from me being THAT good! I'm good and conceptualize well, and use ASL correctly, but you are AMAZING!!
So I've seen you do this sign a few times and I was wondering what it meant. I mean I get the idea of it in the song, but the actual meaning?
You have on thumbs up and your other hand has the same hand shape of "ten" or "thumbs up" and you kinda make it wave up toward the other thumb and then one of your hands immediately makes a thumb down.
WOW!!!! You are soooo amazingly talented, I got chills from the moment you started signing, I knew you were going to be nothing short of amazing. You have one of the best grasps of pure ASL I have seen on YouTube. Absolutely perfect, good job!!!
Are you a CODA or ASL Interpreter? Where did you get your skills from?
You have an amazing talent, keep it up!! One little bit of advice that I noticed in this video and not so much in the others was that you mouthed alot of the words, You have beautiful facials and when you mouth the words it takes away from them... Your videos are great though, I love watching them
Are you a theatre major? You should be. That and a poet. Your use of your spatial component is near perfect and your segue from one essence of meaning to the next is smooth and seemingly effortless. How long do you have to practice a song to get it seemless like you do? My favorite is your rendition of "Grenade" - pure art.
Observing as a Deaf/HOH person, I like how you expressed the song using eye ^^ vv movements, moving to the beat with body shift. I do agree with you on the feeling of interpretation. It's a little bit off. Perhaps try different signs or expressions? Do keep them coming, I'm really discovering your videos and what an excellent job you're doing with music. I'm giving both thumbs up and both hand waves up high. Cheers! Santabear
@mynameismynamely I think it's funny how pretty much everyone else on here who has viewed her musical ASL interpretations, inlcuding myself, feel like she has done a fantastic job, and you're ONE of the only people on here who have to go and make a negative comment and call people names. Honestly, name calling is reserved for 5-year-olds. Have a nice day.
"For without culture or holiness, which are always the gift of a very few, a man may renounce wealth or any other external thing, but he cannot renounce hatred, envy, jealousy, revenge. Culture is the sanctity of the intellect." [William Butler Yeats] …
By the way... I bet this song was written about you...
@mynameismynamely, It's sad that people like you have to create a negative atmosphere toward someone trying to share a beautiful talent with others. I'll leave you with a profound quote I found, just for you...
@mynameismynamely ... If you believe poetry is a part of Deaf Culture, then google ASL poetry and look for the name Dr. Clayton Valli. I think he would disagree with your statement. Even though someone who is deaf can't hear the music, they can certainly appreciate the beautiful, poetic, ARTISTIC expression through visual input such as the song above that kmklined chose to share with us.
@mynameismynamely ... Definition of "Culture" - The quality in a person or society that arises from a concern for what is regarded as excellent in ARTS, letters, manners, scholarly pursuits, ETC...
My question to you - Do you consider poetry a part of Deaf Culture??
If my "on" days were half as good as your "off" days, I'd be a MUCH happier interpreter. Is there any way you could gloss this? Or "Grenade"? I would love to see the actual breakdown!
amazing :) you must have worked really hard in school to have become such a wonderful interpreter. your expressions are amazing and you bring such energy and passion to your signing. Thank You. Your An Inspiration To Me.
i love the way you get all the details in the song when you sign. i hope that some day you could teach me to sign like you do. i love your videos. hope you keep making them <3
You probably had a good asl teacher ...

Self-study? Workshops? Other people? Do you take requests for songs? Keep it up. I love coming back and watching your songs!

You are very, very talented. I love to watch you-- whatever you do. (You really felt that this performance was "off"?!? If this is bad, what's good?!?) It is soooo nice to see real ASL on youtube. (Or anywhere.) I am sick to death of all of the English Signing. (And people who have no skill "teaching".) UGH.
Keep at it. You need to make a series of DVDs for newbies one of these days. I would buy them for my students.

@CLDeafies
i know that u said that u r deaf and u r sick of english signing and that people with no skill r on youtube doing asl.
but plz remember that ur comment was affensive in a way, and did u know that ASL is different parts of the country ,i have acctually known people who know 2 different asl languages,i can not read this girls signs but it is full of emotion she learned it this way,but remember that just because someone doesnt do it the same as u doesnt mean that ur way of asl is right.

@tmrmga12 and my mother does asl and she can not read this girls sign,because of different ways to interpret asl they make different books on asl,by ur comment u just told america that ur asl is right for sure , i have a book that says american sign language on the front,and the signs in her video r different from some of the signs in my book,so does this mean false ads on so many books and videos,no it just means that it is interpreted in so many different ways,

@tmrmga12 and i sign asl and deaf people understand me but me and this girls signs r nothin alike ,one can not determine what asl is actually right
tmrmga12 4 months ago
@tmrmga12 Umm, I find it hard to see how this could be offensive to anyone. It is common knowledge that the majority of ASL music videos aren't actually in ASL, rather they are exact English translations. CLDeafies, I believe, was simply praising the effort this girl put into making sure her videos were actually in ASL. Also, I don't see where CLDeafies said anywhere that their sign language was better than anyone else's. "real ASL" simply refers to using ASL as opposed to signing in English.

@wolfenprincess1 I personally, however, am curious as to how you can know ASL and yet not know one sign in this video, and I would like to know which videos you are using. You are keeping in mind, of course, that the girl is using American Sign Language and, to my knowledge, there isn't more than one American Sign Language, even if you take into account regional dialects? (Not to say there aren't other Sign Languages.)
wolfenprincess1 4 months ago
@wolfenprincess1
well im sorry but that persons comment ws offensive to me and maybe others , because signing things have been around since native americans and maybe longer but no one can say whos asl is right and wich is wich just because an asl pro labels it that way doesnt mean its correct or incorrect , it all depends on the area u r in
tmrmga12 3 months ago
@tmrmga12 No, sorry, but that just isn't right tmrmga. There IS proper ASL, just like there is proper English, proper Spanish, or any other language. You can't just say, "Well everyone signs differently" because then there would be nothing to separate ASL from, for example, Brazilian Sign Language. The language that Native American used (PISL) has been around for a long time, but it is a distinct language from ASL and I'm confused why you mention it, especially since ASL more related to LSF.
wolfenprincess1 3 months ago
@wolfenprincess1
i didnt say its completely different everywhere u go but i have seen two different people sign in different asl , so because ur asl is more commely used does that make yours right , ok so then i say pink is acctually green as of now because i say it is, ur response would be but everyone knows its green, see asl changes slightly very very slightly in different areas, and i understand what this girl is signing because its simalir to the asl i use , but i cant read her signs
tmrmga12 3 months ago
@tmrmga12
I'm pretty sure that since @CLDeafies is Deaf, she KNOWS that there is different ASL all over the country. The problem is not the specific signs that people use, but the grammatical structure of the language itself. Too many people are using ESL or PSE, and trying to pass it off as ASL on youtube. ASL is the language of the Deaf, and although people do use different signs all over the country, the basic grammar is still the same.
thebritishgirl3 1 month ago 2
@thebritishgirl3 yes i understand that but weather you do PSE or SEE ESL or ASL
it is all a form of sign language , sign language is signing with your hands , AND ASL IS NOT THE LANGUAGE OF THE DEAF, sign language is the language of the deaf , when u say ASL is the language of the deaf you are inculeding all deaf people on earth , i know deaf people who do not use ASL , i am just trying to prove a point that ASL is not the main nor is it the better language for deaf people
tmrmga12 1 month ago
@tmrmga12 All forms of sign language ( PSE ,SEE,ESL,or ASL) are correct , and yes ASL is a beautiful form of sign language , but then again ASL is not the exact interpretation of a song , thats why a lot of people prefer ESL because its an exact translation and then you acctually know what the song is saying , im not saying any r better than the other , im just trying to get it around to people that sign language is sign language and there is no better or wrong one
tmrmga12 1 month ago
@tmrmga12 PSE SEE ESL MCE are not real languages. It's hearing people borrowing from signs and trying to call it a language. When a Deaf/deaf consumer watches PSE SEE ESL MCE and has learned ASL, (or other signed languages), there native language-a visual language, they will not understand. ASL has different grammar. Signing exact English doesn't make any sense visually. There is no written form of ASL just GLOSS. GLOSS is no where close to describing what is being signed.
Calalillies1 1 month ago
@Calalillies1 i understand what your trying to say, but how rude of you to say they are not real languages. if someone speaks it , its a language , and deaf people dont just use ASL , okay. i see deaf people using SEE PSE AND ESL , if they are being used by ACTUAL DEAF PEOPLE then its a language , ASL is no better than the rest and ESL is not better than ASL , they are all equal languages to the deaf ,

So I've seen you do this sign a few times and I was wondering what it meant. I mean I get the idea of it in the song, but the actual meaning?
You have on thumbs up and your other hand has the same hand shape of "ten" or "thumbs up" and you kinda make it wave up toward the other thumb and then one of your hands immediately makes a thumb down.
hopefully that question made sense:P

You have an amazing talent, keep it up!! One little bit of advice that I noticed in this video and not so much in the others was that you mouthed alot of the words, You have beautiful facials and when you mouth the words it takes away from them... Your videos are great though, I love watching them

Are you a theatre major? You should be. That and a poet. Your use of your spatial component is near perfect and your segue from one essence of meaning to the next is smooth and seemingly effortless. How long do you have to practice a song to get it seemless like you do? My favorite is your rendition of "Grenade" - pure art.

Observing as a Deaf/HOH person, I like how you expressed the song using eye ^^ vv movements, moving to the beat with body shift. I do agree with you on the feeling of interpretation. It's a little bit off. Perhaps try different signs or expressions? Do keep them coming, I'm really discovering your videos and what an excellent job you're doing with music. I'm giving both thumbs up and both hand waves up high. Cheers! Santabear

@mynameismynamely ... If you believe poetry is a part of Deaf Culture, then google ASL poetry and look for the name Dr. Clayton Valli. I think he would disagree with your statement. Even though someone who is deaf can't hear the music, they can certainly appreciate the beautiful, poetic, ARTISTIC expression through visual input such as the song above that kmklined chose to share with us.
