[Aotearoa2010]

My family asked "Did you hear the thunder last night" I replied back and said "Nope! My hearing aid was switched off" lol!! They say I'm lucky I don't have to put up with all the thundering sounds.

[mehtarelingolien]

@Aotearoa2010 You should still have felt it, though... I do. :)

[Aotearoa2010]

@mehtarelingolien The vibration of thunder yes, but I still don't get waken up by it. Lol!! :)

HOW DO I GET INTO THE MUSIC BUSINESS I HAVE VIDEOS SINGING IN ASL LOOK ME UP INCOMPLETE ASL

[southparkchic12]

Sean I am hearing and I have a relative tht works at Michigan School for the Deaf. I have a friend that goes there and i feel like I can't sign well and I feel like she has no idea what I sign sometimes when I sign it wrong. I have a friend at school tht teaches me sometimes because she has a sister kassie tht also goes there. What do I do? Do I just keep practicing or what?

[ilovegregorio1590]

i know him Sean Forbes Mr.lawson am deaf forever Neptune Middle School

[gibberish126]

You have great rhythm, tone, and you sing better than most people that aren't deaf. Keep it up bro.

[1999chinchilla]

im hearing and your REALLY GOOD SINGER u can do anything a hearing person can do i mean who cares if your deaf your still a person

[foreverlove81509]

i'm hearing, but i have a lot of deaf friends and this just proves you can do anything.Sean, you're amazing. :D

[hunterbrooke]

Im 50% deaf in both ears and i have hearing aids and afraid people will make fun of me. but this made me happy to see that other people have the same disability :' ). Sub! -clicks the button-

[redhairer]

since child i wanted to follow guitar lessons but teacher of the school said to my mom "i don't know how to teach deaf kid music tune..." Damn...didn't let me try... I was so angry that my sister followed music school there. Few years ago i buy guitar for myself. My dad don't understand why... after few months they were schocking how amazing i can play guitar...Mom asked maybe better to learn tune at school? I can't do it bcs i'm afraid if they reject me again... Sean, you rock!! =)

[seanforbes]

@redhairer - Don't let anyone stop you from doing what you want to do. If someone says you can't play guitar, or be a part of music, show them this music video. If I can do what I do.... you can do anything, like play the guitar. Now go practice!

[KaytheSorcerer]

@redhairer You should post vids of your playing.

[redhairer]

@KaytheSorcerer I'm not sure because i can't read notes, so i can play just only some sounds. But i will do it for u.

[mavacat]

@redhairer YOU can do anythything i love muisc i still dream of one day to SING and DANCE! oh well im little late but never late can try im in near 40's LOL keep going !! keep it foward right!

[DJLRRT]

Finally, music only deaf people enjoy.

[pastnewsfreek18431]

@DJLRRT I don't know. I'm not deaf and I really loved this!

[queenofchikens]

@DJLRRT I'm hearing and I enjoyed it, too.

[BlessedLaurel]

My hard of hearing friend, who wants to become a rapper was sooooo inspired by this clip. He's sharing it w/everyone who will listen. Now that I've listened, I understand why.  Keep it up, Sean. You're gaining fans in the DC area

[LinRomer]

AWESOME!!!

[samanthawade1833]

I LOVE this! ive shared it with alot of hearing ppl and they enjoy you too! thanks so much Sean!!

[nahasapeemapetelon]

Awesome :)

[wheretheliliesblow]

You were amazing at mcc!



[Brookej67]

[iilovejonasbros04]

:)

[Deafschutzengelgirl]

that is very very cool good. i say wow

[eireencullen]

Love it! Anyone know if Sean also signs in ASL or just sim-com?

[spen911spencer]

The funny part about the comments with the highest votes are probily IGNORENT ASS HOLES WHO DONT RELIZE HE IS SIGNING THE WHOLE SONG AND IS WEREING A HEARING AID!!

[Beepowa]

@spen911spencer Oh course he wears an hearing aid! And then? What do you mean? "Ololol look he doesn't live it fully with all of his deafness he's such a cheater XDDD"

Hey man, what's wrong with you? Also, you criticize "ignorants", but here the real ignorant is YOU: Do you really think that if he's completely deaf, a hearing aid doesn't make him ear everything clearly. He's a brave man who makes awesome music. You are an asshole who rages against the top commenters on youtube.

[GrnPantsProductions]

i love this! im 17 and i was born with bilateral profound hearing loss, and i wear bilateral cochlear implants! this video is EXACTLY who i am, except i dont have the deaf accent.

[jtsmoove777]

Love it Sean! Good Work! I will mos def Put Your Video on My Show TDSL "The Grind"

[TheShadyCrusada2]

I'm partially deaf on my left side. My right ear works good, but that didn't stop me from playing this song nice and loud! Sean Forbes is living proof that no amount of deafness can kill rhythm!!!! Thumbs up if you agree with that last statement!

[moreofmorgan]

@TheShadyCrusada2 I'm the same, I have a hearing impairment caused by the over use of antibiotics prenatally when my mother was pregnant with me and immediately after birth. And actually music has always been my passion, people don't realize I have hearing problems when I'm playing music or singing. :)

[pennyprint]

SIM COM JUST GOT COOL =)

[constancejeff]

Bravo. Wonderfully done

[ASLmelissa]

this is sweet. im hard of hearing

[MRheartlessarchangel]

Im deaf and from holland, i must learn asl (america sign lagnuege) and its really diffcult becus i sign holland/dutch

And i read the reactions and there are many peoples mean becaus they dont understand deaf peoples but is stupid becaus we like hear people but we dont hear en talk we talk with our hands and that is the only diffrent with hearing people o.-

And i am sorry that my english not very good is but im learning so dont crictise to me okay?

[MsQueenBee0810]

Love the video first time i saw it was in ASL class.......:)

[courtcookie]

I literally just stumbled across your video. love it <3

[lovinthelord4ever]

I think your awesome, and if ppl dont have anything positive to say they should keep their mouth shut!!!

[jaysonbaxter1]

Wicked man, most of my friends are deaf and you won't think they were....I hate people who think deaf people can't hear a thing...that's not true...and their not deaf and dumb or tone deaf...thats like saying people who are blind can't see a thing...there are diffrent levels of blindness and it's the same for deafness. :) DEAF POWER ROCK ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[candydoodles1]

@jaysonbaxter1 Anddd im deaf and i hear SO FINE i love being deaf!!

[samanthaxlaurenn]

@msmall92 actually, that's incorrect. there are 4 different stages of deafness: mild, moderate, severe, and profound. the things that they can hear vary with different tones and decibels, and obviously the hearing gets worse the further along this line that you are. being deaf rarely means that things are totally silent. the percentage of deaf people who hear absolutely nothing is actually quite small.

[msmall92]

@samanthaxlaurenn It's quite ironic because I have profound hearing loss. You are correct. :)

[mihorsewoman]

@msmall92 Oh, you are so not correct!!! All Deaf/deaf people have varying degrees of deafness!! There are many books out there that explain this, if you are willing to read them.

[msmall92]

@mihorsewoman I know... There's no need to rehash what someone else already said before. Thanks.

[frostwav]

@jaysonbaxter1 Exactly, I was 'born' blind...but had surgery, I'm not blind anymore, but the state used to consider me "legally blind" until a few months ago when I had a miraculous surgery. I still get called blind and stuff...which makes the other people look stupid, heh. My bro's deaf, this amazes me how there's not more deaf people trying to compete...that I hear of anyway. @seanforbes you're changing the world!

[yuki53saiya]

this was epic! my besty is deaf.... need to say signing was a disaster for a while, he showed me this :) hes epic :) i love watching him feel the music, looking at him you wouldnt know hes deaf... specually when we walk into music stores.... best vid ive seen all day :)

[IwantToeatyourcheese]

Thumbs up if you turned the sound down and acted like you were deaf while watching this!

[IwantToeatyourcheese]

I want to hug him!

[Eohlas]

@syyyyyke Hm, never noticed the capitalization in the titles. Regardless, from what he's talking about, it's apparent he's talking about the culture.

[pjiinsessa]

i only love the ref <3

[Skiiiiirt]

Awesome. I know sign, but can hear. Digging it.

[AlphaBataOmega]

Hey Sean today u met me, and I was the one that the angry birds shirt on at central Michigan and I wanted to say u are inspiration and I'll will never forget about u and your story and I want to stay in touch with u if that's ok, thank you from Avion, I hope you come to cmu next year

[daliaoregel3]

Its actually making me SLEEEPPPY. This video is fuckin bored seriously!

[deaffrodo]

im deaf and this is my favorite than any rap songs! so SUCK IT HEARING PEOPLE WHO THINK THIS SONG AWFUL!!

[syyyyyke]

@deaffrodo haha thats discriminating 

[syyyyyke]

So i have a question. If i gave a blind person a pencil and a sheet of paper should that person be considered talented if the paper just has a bunch of scribbles on it?

[MixxdMount]

@syyyyyke I have a question, If I removed your head from your ass, should you be considered "talented" for not having your head up your ass?

[syyyyyke]

@MixxdMount Who ever made this kid a rapper needs their head removed from their ass. Does that offend you?

[emogirllover69]

@syyyyyke He really is an inspiration. He got where he is now from never giving up and working his ass off. :)

[syyyyyke]

@emogirllover69 Doubt it. Ever think he got where he is now from just being deaf and trying to rap?

[Ibymarie]

My favorite song!!!!!! :)

[TheNonny2]

He is good in any language.

[loveofmusic0]

Yo everyone respect sean! He best singer im deaf btw he my fan!

[Daghead]

So he must not be "deafer than deaf" if a hearing aid is of any use to him :/

[Eohlas]

@Daghead He's talking about deaf culture, not deafness itself. Note the capital D in "I'm Deaf"

[syyyyyke]

@Eohlas You capitalize every word in a title lmao

[Tubbzization]

@astralninja1 this is a fuckin breakthrough and if ur 2 stupid to realize that, then u must b living under a fuckin rock, Sean, keep it up!

[underdog7806]

@astralninja1 go die in a hole, if u dont like it thats fine, but stfu

[kellyberger1969]

This needs ALOT more views! It's amazing! =)

[deFATpanda]

[Tubbzization]

[syyyyyke]

@Tubbzization fail

[emogirllover69]

You are such an inspiration, thank you. This song motivates more and more every time I hear it to keep learning ASL and do my best. This is one of my FAVORITE songs EVER! :)

[syyyyyke]

@emogirllover69 you poor girl. Look up a real handicapped musician called patrick henry hughes. Youll forget about this show boat

[MrStazzoo]

my name is Stany , I'm from Belgium and I'm DEAF :D

Peace ... DEAF POWER !!!

[JayCatta]

My names jesse im deaf too i can rap well and i dont need tones cas i go with wat i feel and sean forbes is a good rapper but he doesnt really look like one

[xaceflowerx]

it's cool ur song

[levy7070]

The fact that he's deaf doesn't make his rapping skills any better.

[horserainumbrella]

Yay, love this =-D. I'm going to share it with my ASL and Deaf studies program !!

[adrean80]

@horserainumbrella Glad to hear that and thank you for sharing. Definitely appreciate that.

[FaxableBear]

@levy7070

Oh, you're just mad he's more musically talented than you. U:

[ellenasl]

@levy7070 wow you're cool

[DyingDickinson]

@levy7070 That may be your opinon, but you surely are wrong, Deaf people are a great influence to our culture amd society. You might as well be giving that message to blind, crippled and mentally handicapped people. Basically anyone who isn't our developed definition of "perfect". If you hate the video don't watch it or comment. Just give it a thumbs down and move on.

[celticghirlxxx]

for the people who don't like this, why bother commenting? It's pretty obvious that this guy is a total inspiration to people who are completely deaf, or have partial hearing. He inspires me! I'm very thankful that my hearing is fine, but my partners isn't. I know how hard it is for him to communicate at times. People who haven't got a clue about deafness shouldn't be leaving negative comments, just idiots!!

[QuicksilverdotFX]

@celticghirlxxx I'm deaf. No, not the retarded kind that never leaves the deaf culture. Nothing about the video inspires me. It's actually a joke to me. I had a good laugh. LOLOLOLOL

[celticghirlxxx]

@QuicksilverdotFX yeah there's no doubt, he's a funny guy! I'm just angry at some of the comments that have been made. If you have a read through them you'll see yourself, some folk are out of order!

[QuicksilverdotFX]

@celticghirlxxx Oh, no. I was being sarcastic. I'm laughing AT him.

[celticghirlxxx]

@QuicksilverdotFX you really are an asshole

[QuicksilverdotFX]

@celticghirlxxx Yeah, I know.

[celticghirlxxx]

@QuicksilverdotFX good cos everyone else knows it too, I don't get folk like you at all..........troll

[QuicksilverdotFX]

@celticghirlxxx You're pretty low, aren't you? It is obvious I am an asshole so you did not have to say it. Now, you're saying everyone knows I am an asshole.

WELL, WHAT THE FUCK? You're like those people who talks for hours and really say nothing.

[QuicksilverdotFX]

@celticghirlxxx TROLL

[celticghirlxxx]

@QuicksilverdotFX I don't need to say anymore, I've got a good heart, good soul and music and comedy inside me, where are your uploads, oh you don't have any, why? Cos your just an asshole, with nothing going for you except being a fucking dickhead, now why don't you just go kill yourself!

[celticghirlxxx]

@QuicksilverdotFX I'd say your bitter cos of your deafness and completely retarded. Your meant to be from Italy and 27, your an embarassment to your country and you need to grow up. 

[QuicksilverdotFX]

@celticghirlxxx 27? No. Anyway, I have no videos because I don't record myself. You can find videos of me, my name is Mark Webber. I'm pretty famous.

[celticghirlxxx]

@QuicksilverdotFX famous for what exactly?

[celticghirlxxx]

@QuicksilverdotFX there are a few famous mark webbers...and i don't believe your any of them!

[QuicksilverdotFX]

@celticghirlxxx It's not hard to figure out who I am. Googling my youtube name will get real name. Googling real name and matching age, country, etc will get you the correct person. Tadaaaa.

Formula 1 racer. I'm done with you. Far too idiotic.

[celticghirlxxx]

@QuicksilverdotFX lmao your pathetic! I just looked up wiki and guess what? The real Mark Webber is 34, according to wiki, your one sad sick pathetic individual!!!! You wish you were a formula one driver!!!

[celticghirlxxx]

@QuicksilverdotFX I went go carting once and now I'm a formula one driving lmao!!!!!!

[QuicksilverdotFX]

@celticghirlxxx This is how must of us started.

@QuicksilverdotFX I think you need to go to the nearest mental institution and tell them you really believe your mark webber....pity they stopped electric shock treatment......
