@ladysolitary85 You don't usually see them fully word by word because it isn't proper ASL in that form, it is signed English (ESL), Not ASL. This is still a nice video, though! :)

Dude, You really worked hard on this and even incorporated some hints of the original dance in there. I don't care what these easily offended haters say... or sign. You did an excellent and creative job and next weekend I will definately be showin my friends this
May I just say to the haters, it's alright to have your opinion, we all do. However this is just the way this man who had the courage to do something like this feels and how he thinks this song is meant to mean.
While yes I understand this is more PSE/SEE asl I get why he's doing it. Some people like me know some words in ASL but we do have that drive to learn more. Some are not as fortunate to grow up in an ASL house or have the money for classes. Youtube is the next best thing.
@TheEarthweaver excuse me that is a big offense to many of us deaf or mute people okay its called asl not english on the hands do you want me to teach you the grammar?
haha that was awesome. It was strange in parts but it's a Gaga song so I feel like that's just keeping it true to the song lol. I think some of the signs were wrong but meh I'm not that great at signing so I could be wrong :). Enjoyed it a lot!

I rather enjoyed this... the dancing was distracting but i was happy to see the way someone else would sign this song! Having only take two classes in ASL (my university only has two) I learned a lot and love it and definitely plan on going back for an interpreter's certification post graduation. Continue learning, continue growing an i will do the same. ^_^ I had fun!

50Hearts, I agree with you. Everyone signs differently. It's a cultural response to accept and respect the views and differences, including when signing a song or interpreting. I am currently becoming an interpreter for the Deaf and one important tool, I watch others sign the video before I sign because the differences in the signing helps me understand better ways to improve myself. Remember, we are ALWAYS learning and never stop growing. ASL will always continue to change and develop!

How can you say this song was in ASL when you said there is a mixture of SEE and ASL many many people in the Deaf Community or involved with the Deaf SEE is not ASL...and ASL is not artistic ASL is a language. English is a language. But, we can make ASL artistic, but we have to first realize that it's a language...what you did with this song was something...one it was hard to watch b/c there was no ASL going on and you moved around way too much
I wish there had been a little more emphasis on ASL but I really like that you got into the video and dressed up, danced, used multiple locations, and polished the video. It's fun to watch. Thank you for sharing it ^_^

@coolbeans1216 I feel any language is an art. Even they aren't, I feel being called an 'art' is only a compliment. Besides, when singing a song, you don't just stand up and say the lyrics, 'cause that would be boring. You get up, dance (for those that dance) and SING. If he just stood there signing the words with no other action, no emotion, and no personality, this video would be dull and not really worth watching (no offense to those that might do this, but this is how I feel).
It was reported on a Deaf dating site named Deafornot dot c om that 500,000 Deaf individuals in the United States claim American Sign Language (ASL) as their primary language.

You remind me of a magician! Theatrical, and the emphasis on the hands. :) I enjoyed it. And because I notice the discussion going on with @coolbeans, I'll throw in my two cents, I'm not deaf and don't know ASL, but language can be used as art - that's what poetry is. A song sung in English is a form of artistic expression, so ASL can be artistic too precisely because it IS a language.
I think this is pretty awesome..and I don't think you're being disrespectful to the deaf culture whatsoever. The dancing is distracting just a bit, but who can't not dance when this song is on? lol :]
Genius how u recreate video,esp start&gloves,esp as,being bloke,u can't recreate porny aspects(w same interpretation in our soc).Interesting that you shoot from below2scenes,1feels like tripod-height choice,1actual choice:in feminist theory,porn is shot from above2make viewer unconsciously feel power,in control&art history theory old portraits(of rich normally)slightly from below so u feel slightly intimidated unconsc:therefore u empower u,t performer,counteracting porny aspects:well cool.BSLnxt
Genius how you recreate the video, which is clever because it's hardly the song that's the good part: especially at the start and the gloves, genius. It's harder because you're a bloke so can't recreate the porny aspect of things (with the same interpretation in our society as if you were female, anyway). Interestingly in two scenes you film from below - one feels like it's a tripod-height thing, one a choice: in feminist theory (me=hardcore oldstyle anarchofeminist) the fact a lot of porn is
Signed english is seen. I sign, me your love bad write. Your signing is very clear, but the dancing is a bit distracting. ASL is not an art. It is a language. If say ASL is an art to a deaf person, they wouldn't appreciate it. I was taken back by it. If you are saying asl, the first thing I think of is, Deaf language. Not an art. No one is painting it. please be more respectful on the use of asl.
I am not saying that ASL is an art, although I do believe that any language has an artistic side to it, including spoken languages. I am an entertainer, so introducing dancing and choreographed moves is part of my personality, henceforth I blend the two. If you were an entertainer, would you be offended that I used sign language in my dance routines? No. Some people, both deaf and hearing, sign differently based on their personalities. It's not an uncommon issue.
@5oHearts In my opinion - if I may - I believe the spoken word can be an art. The written word can be an art. And the signed word can be an art. ...... That being said, I feel signing to music is an art. And, depending upon the signer's personality and deliverance - and the song, a sexy art at that. Personally, I like the musical aspect, the passion, and the intellect of a skill all rolled into one. :o)
And as for respecting the language and the culture, you know nothing about my views, so don't judge me based off of a video that is seen through a media website. I have huge respect for both the Deaf Culture and the language.
@coolbeans1216 I understand what you mean about Deaf seeing it as a language and not an art, but from a hearing perspective it is. Quote from the movie Love is Never Silent, "Sign language isn't words, it's pictures." ASL is a highly beautiful and expressive language, and @5oHearts did an amazing job expressing the song.
Coolbeans, I think that his method of signing is completely appropriate. He is signing a song, and the choreography is appropriate. It helps give the feel of the music, even to those who cannot here it. This is much more fun to watch than taking five minutes to sync a music video with a (possibly subpar) translation from someone sitting and signing in two different windows.

@coolbeans1216 it doesn't have to be painted to be art. Movies are art, music is art, books are art. And guess what, if there were no languages, there would never be books. You don't have to diminish worth of things just to preserve original intention, in this case of sign language. Plus, all art is expressing something, so all art is language of it's own.
@coolbeans1216 I work very closely with the deaf community and have performed songs in sign as an art form in front of them. I have had nothing but rave reviews. What some people call "hand dancing" IS a practiced art and is accepted by both deaf and hearing communities!
@coolbeans1216 by that logic singing is also insulting to what ever language is being sung in. language and art go together have you heard of asl poetry is it wrong that they are not merely communicating information but they are providing entertainment to others. art uses all mediums and language is one of them. anyone who thinks differently is most likely not even thinking this video was obviously made for entertainment as was the music if you can't deal with that don't get on the internet.
I love it. Last week was my first ASL class. I go tomorrow, and I am so damn excited. This video is helping me learn a few more words, awesome...thanks!!
My ASL professor told me that, in general, the open-minded Deaf people tend to like the "signed-English" version of songs better. I don't know if that is true of all Deaf culture. And I think most signed songs are going to be more of a translation, as many words do not directly translate into ASL. And naming your video ""Bad Romance' in Signed-English" makes it harder to find as a signed song. What you said was not incorrect, but was largely unnecessary.
Deaf individuals in general don't like signed music as much as hearing individuals do. It is primarily a hearing form of entertainment, this is not saying that Deaf individuals don't enjoy or can't enjoy musical interpretations because then can and many of my Deaf friends do. It is also possible to tag it as sign language because it is still a form of a signed language although SEE and PSE are not languages but a poor form of ASL that don't have their own structure.
SEE is a signed representation of English and PSE is a mix of SEE and ASL. you can always Tag it as ASL and label it as Signed-English. That is also an effective manner. Also it may say interpretation but interpreting is conceptual not literal which is why this is a translation.
I'm just making a point so people know the difference because many people don't know the difference. Also, it's in Deaf culture to be blunt. I didn't mean it in a derogatory sense, just as a suggestion.
ughh... i dont know why im so attracted to him..he kinda makes me think hes stuck in the 80's by the way he dresses in the other vids but i love it so much! he has to be gay or something....

I am not saying that ASL is an art, although I do believe that any language has an artistic side to it, including spoken languages. I am an entertainer, so introducing dancing and choreographed moves is part of my personality, henceforth I blend the two. If you were an entertainer, would you be offended that I used sign language in my dance routines? No. Some people, both deaf and hearing, sign differently based on their personalities. It's not an uncommon issue.

@5oHearts In my opinion - if I may - I believe the spoken word can be an art. The written word can be an art. And the signed word can be an art. ...... That being said, I feel signing to music is an art. And, depending upon the signer's personality and deliverance - and the song, a sexy art at that. Personally, I like the musical aspect, the passion, and the intellect of a skill all rolled into one. :o)

Saying that sign-ing a song isn't art is like saying singing a song isn't art.

And as for respecting the language and the culture, you know nothing about my views, so don't judge me based off of a video that is seen through a media website. I have huge respect for both the Deaf Culture and the language.

@coolbeans1216 I understand what you mean about Deaf seeing it as a language and not an art, but from a hearing perspective it is. Quote from the movie Love is Never Silent, "Sign language isn't words, it's pictures." ASL is a highly beautiful and expressive language, and @5oHearts did an amazing job expressing the song.

Coolbeans, I think that his method of signing is completely appropriate. He is signing a song, and the choreography is appropriate. It helps give the feel of the music, even to those who cannot here it. This is much more fun to watch than taking five minutes to sync a music video with a (possibly subpar) translation from someone sitting and signing in two different windows.

@coolbeans1216 it doesn't have to be painted to be art. Movies are art, music is art, books are art. And guess what, if there were no languages, there would never be books. You don't have to diminish worth of things just to preserve original intention, in this case of sign language. Plus, all art is expressing something, so all art is language of it's own.

@coolbeans1216 I work very closely with the deaf community and have performed songs in sign as an art form in front of them. I have had nothing but rave reviews. What some people call "hand dancing" IS a practiced art and is accepted by both deaf and hearing communities!

@coolbeans1216 by that logic singing is also insulting to what ever language is being sung in. language and art go together have you heard of asl poetry is it wrong that they are not merely communicating information but they are providing entertainment to others. art uses all mediums and language is one of them. anyone who thinks differently is most likely not even thinking this video was obviously made for entertainment as was the music if you can't deal with that don't get on the internet.

This video is a theatrical mixture of SEE and ASL performed in a way that includes choreography as well as the art of sign language.

I do mean it as constructive criticism, there's no point to completely and utterly bashing someone.
Poolshark01989 2 years ago
My ASL professor told me that, in general, the open-minded Deaf people tend to like the "signed-English" version of songs better. I don't know if that is true of all Deaf culture. And I think most signed songs are going to be more of a translation, as many words do not directly translate into ASL. And naming your video ""Bad Romance' in Signed-English" makes it harder to find as a signed song. What you said was not incorrect, but was largely unnecessary.
veggies1122 2 years ago
Deaf individuals in general don't like signed music as much as hearing individuals do. It is primarily a hearing form of entertainment, this is not saying that Deaf individuals don't enjoy or can't enjoy musical interpretations because then can and many of my Deaf friends do. It is also possible to tag it as sign language because it is still a form of a signed language although SEE and PSE are not languages but a poor form of ASL that don't have their own structure.
Poolshark01989 2 years ago
SEE is a signed representation of English and PSE is a mix of SEE and ASL. you can always Tag it as ASL and label it as Signed-English. That is also an effective manner. Also it may say interpretation but interpreting is conceptual not literal which is why this is a translation.
Poolshark01989 2 years ago
I'm just making a point so people know the difference because many people don't know the difference. Also, it's in Deaf culture to be blunt. I didn't mean it in a derogatory sense, just as a suggestion.
Poolshark01989 2 years ago
Also, in the description it says that it is an interpretation.
