  • You should srsly do Safe and Sound by Taylor SWift! :D

  • Pinch me, I'm in love :)

  • You are so cute, and your video is eally good. You should do more!!! :) <3

  • I'm totally in love with how you did this song... Like no joke I could marry you lol. I'm trying to find a song to do my ASL final on and I'm having a hard time picking one.... I might use this one thought....

  • Adorable! I'm watching tons of these to practice my ASL. Thanks!

  • that's very nice... smile...

  • Coooool ^^

  • I used to be able to watch this video on my iPod (mobile YouTube) and now I can't. Why is that?

  • I love you, troll. :3

  • love this song

  • This is waaayyyy too cute! I've absolutely always wanted to learn sign language!!:)

  • I loveeeee !!!! ce mec est génial !!!! j'aime bcp

  • you're so cute. you make me smile.

  • awwww that was cute!!

  • You use asl signs English context. It better use ASL, forget English pattern, Not hear music - try tell story. Help improve yourself. You best others. Thank you.

  • Awwwwwwwwwww

  • Your cute and did a good job

  • You are adorable, btw... XD;;; Um, are you an ASL student? I know you mentioned this was pidgin sign, just wondering what year you were? (I'm always facinated, because ASL is one of my two first languages, as a CODA... Child of Deaf Adult.)

  • This is the first time I heard this song, and you nailed it! Emotions, nice exact signs, and great eye contact! TERRIFIC! Please keep it up! And Thank You for the chance to watch you!

  • This song is made about 10 times more sweeter when you're signing it <3

  • I really like this song and the way you sign!

    I was wondering if you could try signing a song called little bit by lykke li feat drake.

    no one has done it yet!

  • This is a surprisingly good song. I heard the "twangish" sound of it at the beginning (I hate country music) but the direction of the song just got better.

    I think ballads have a way of engaging the listener to liking the song better and intertwining with it. It may, also, get the artist(s) more into the songs...I have a hypothesis about ballads being the best type of music!

  • Adorable! You look so earnest, haha. It's precious.

  • That was so.... CUTE!

  • Well done mate, this is really good!

  • its great to sign along to songs... love it!!

  • So cute! Your eyes look so sweet and sincere when you sign. I think that's one of my favourite things about deaf culture. Best eye contact!

  •  I just sat at my desk with my head in my hand gazing at your doing this song. It was awe-inspiring. Thanks for sharing. Your emotional connection to the song is really lovely.

  • Stephen Im just learning ASL And u have such GREAT expressions. I love it! Thanks for sharing!

  • Wow it's cool to see how much you've improved. This was good, but your newer stuff is way better.

  • LOVE

  • i love his facial expressions:)

  • theres just something about turning off the captions that makes the video more meaningful =]

  • what does it mean when you have stuff in [square brackets]?

    it's sorta like that but you aren't using pre-defined words?

  • @Alokue it lets you know when classifying is. CL (classifying) is when you need to describe something like the flowers on the bike you have to literally imagine it yourself. he signed flower and made motions of them all over the bike. or using the same sign but different directions ex. [recognize-you] [recognize-them] [recognize-her) the signs are done differently but the same CL sign "R" towards whom or what ever. =)

  • This is great!! My mother and dad were both deaf and today is their wedding anniversary!! Thank you!

  • I love your videos!

  • ok now you are my favorite person EVER^^

  • You are so cute and I love your interpretation of the song!

  • You should do more Jack Johnson ASL videos!

    I loved it!! :)

  • @nelbug05 Most definitely seconded :)

  • what do you say in the beginning?

  • So sweet.

  • you look exactly like tom cruise with a goatee and red hair

  • 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.

  • this makes me happy =]

  • When you use the sign for "live" as in moving to live in house, I think the "a" handshape would be more appropriate because you are otherwise saying that you were alive together, as in not dead in the house. I guess that's ok if that's what you want to convey.:)

  • Your signing and ASL are very clear! I am just in my 7th week of classes but i am exctited even more mow for the possibilities! 

  • Haha ok. I know Adrienne. Very nice that you dedicated a song to her lol, but I am wondering what the sign is right before you wink. Fist in hand?? Im asking the deaf around me and they have no idea. Other than that, great job!

  • This is wonderful :) It made me epically happy!

  • It's funny how I don't speak ASL at all, but I like watching your videos, because your signs are translated. The translated subtitles of the signs makes the song make sense to a me in a totally different way.

  • I love this video!!! Great job with the interpretation and your facial expressions are perfect! Thanks for signing!

  • I love all of these..fun to watch, helps me to learn :)

  • excellent stuff! I wish I knew more than just the alphabet and a handful of words, to catch this all. Though listening/watching songs will be a great way for hearing to learn asl. Keep them coming! it's pretty entertaining to watch

  • thanks, you are a great singer

  • love your ASL its beautiful!! really easy to understand!!!

  • thanks, helped allot for my project=)

  • Your so adorable. And a fantastic signer!

  • You are phenomenal! your expression is entrancing! my asl class watches your videos all the time! thanks so much :)

  • You should do "Good People". I am learning it for my ASL class and it would be cool to see your rendition of it.

  • I love this one your face just seems like you are realy love sick ^.^ its nice

  • Awesome Signing!!!

  • I really liked how you did that video it was cool!

  • 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.

Im learning ASL now, plus I love Jack Johnson, so awesome, cool, I will have to show my daughter she will love this, and as im looking over at what other songs you have done i see the owl city one, she loves that song, she will be thrilled, im trying to get her to use ASL all the time now, because she will be going to a deaf high school. Thanks, youre rad! ;D

  • i really like how you put the english vs. what you're signing. i love watching your videos!

  • Respond to this video...

  • can you  do an info video about the difference between asl and signed english ?

  • goods job

  • ohmy :) [[melts]] its nice to see someone sign this song. i love jj's music, and i can totally relate to the asl, being deaf myself. :) thanks

  • i love this!

  • What's the sign before he winks?

  • @allyourproblems thank you is the sign before he winks

  • @allyourproblems when does he wink? The end of the video? That was "thanks".

  • @allyourproblems, he did kind of a sign-off with one of his friends, she gave him a song and he gave her one. He was basically telling her that he learned his faster than she did and that he won. :P

    I just watched the explanation on one of his other vids. :)

  • @allyourproblems It's Win lol

  • What is it that you sign at the very beginning of the video, before the music starts? It looks a bit like fingerspelling but I can't figure out what you're signing.

    Thanks!

  • @jerrysaries328 i think its a dedication

  • @jerrysaries328 I can't figure out what he is saying....the fist gesture is a little odd? I've never seen that sign.

  • Hey! I love your vids and I've seen this one b4. I noticed u added captions but I was busy watching u sign. About 1/2way through I noticed that you have the ASL gloss w/ the english captions. LOVE IT!! I really think that will be great for beginning ASL students too!!!

  • loved the song loved the interpretation, thank you

  • do you do popular hymns or maybe LDS songs? I'm looking for something to sing and sign in Church and my signing is pretty limited...

  • This is amazing, thank you for sharing! I like how happy you look.

  • I wish you could do this just for me hahaha

    Awesome job! I really wanna learn it and seduce this girl at work hahaha

  • good job man

  • I wish I knew you because I think you'd be one of my favorite people.

  • @kittyprydex

    I gotta agree there. I <3 this guy I've been watching him for a while and i'm starting to slowly understand ASL XD

  • loved it!

  • May I ask what you sign after the dedication? If I voicing for you, it would not be something appropriate....Looks dirty. Perhaps I'm reading you wrong?

  • @megabyte707 ha, yeah that's what I was thinking....what in the world?!

  • i saw this in asl friday (:

  • having said that..i'm not to crazy about the "mould " on his chin.... but i loved the song. i only know auslan but i could follow along easy. great job!!!

  • stop hating ...he's cute AND adorable!!!

  • can anybody tell me who did he dedicate the song to?

    AURINNE?

    i cant spell that fast.. :)

    (or maybe i cant spell at all.. what's the seccond letter?)

    thank you :)

  • I read it as Adrianne.

  • thanks :)

  • way to cute !!!! this is the best video ever!!!

  • I love Jack Johnson! Can you do Banana Pancakes??? PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

  • i totally did this song in my ASL class a couple years ago. it was fairly similar to this. GREAT JOB.

  • I love that he suddenly and unintentionally while doing sign videos somehow got a huge following of fangirls XD

  • You are too cute! Thanks for making me smile. =o) Nice interpretation.

  • So beautiful!!! You should do more of Jack Johnson.

  • More of this... less of Miley. LOL

    You have a great talent.

  • Gawd! How can you be so charming?!

    You're so cute.

    *sigh*

    -_-

  • Admittedly, I question how you can make judgements about how he's charming without talkin' to the guy. No offense by the way man, You do good videos. Just questioning this girl's logic here.

  • His work puts off a very "charming" vibe. If he is charming or not in real life, I know not. But I'd put money that he is. I watch these for entertainment. When I watch Jonny Depp, I don't believe he is a pirate or a boy made out of cogs and scissors. But I enjoy the work all the same. CaptainValor is charming on here, and that is enough for me.

  • hi! I am trying to learn this song so I was wondering if it wasnt too big of a hassle if you could add how you translate it to ASL? the CC. Thanks so much!

  • you are the second cutest thing i've ever seen, i guess that means you can add another fangirl to the list :) <3

  • PLEASE do more Jack Johnson!!

  • anyone near san antonio, SAC has one of the best asl programs in the nation

  • I love you!!!!!!!!!! I think that you are very very very very very very cute lol

  • your hot. <3

  • omg ur adorible i love watching you sign<3333 I'm and ASL teacher in my high school and it's so great to see it in this way=]

  • This was great, and I love the wink at the begining! :)

  • I love this. You are amazing. I am trying to learn how to sign songs and this really is really helpful :)

  • awesome job dude!

  • Adorable. You are a really good signer, I would like to get good enough to sign songs. Any tips?

  • You've inspired me to sign up for an ASL course. Thank you.

  • Amaze.

  • Perfect,now I get an easy A for signing my song in ASL 3, thanks. :) you're cute

  • You are so talented, and this is one of my favorite songs of all time. :)

  • you should do bubble toes if you do anymore jack johnson

  • I think you are an amazing signer and the songs you do are very helpful.

  • Could you add the lyrics with alongside what you signed? I noticed you did that with other videos, and it was really helpful.
