Are you really deaf or did you just study ASL? My cousin is deaf and I know nothing except the alphabet >.< How long does it usually take to become fluent in ASL?
@signsofapril50 Ally made this video almost 3 years ago. Since then she's finished her studies and now teaches deaf kids. =) She's great and it wouldn't surprise me if she had a few Deaf teachers along the way.

I love watching you sign. It's beautiful honestly. I can understand some words, but I definately need to work on speed and grammer and such. :) Thanks for doing this, I love it.
Hi my name is MacKenzie,and I have been keeping up on your videos.I was wondering do you do lessons?Andcongratz for being person of the year!It was on CBS news
I absolutely love your facial expression at 2:47 - 2:54. I especially love the sign right after you put your hand to your chest and then bring up both your hands in some specific way. In that same time period I mentioned x) What does that sign mean btww ? :o And I was hoping that maybe you could send me the translations you did for this song. I would absolutely love to learn exactly how you did (: Please ? (:
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.
@CarmenChordCshorty OF COURSE! in fact, it's just about IMPOSSIBLE for two people to sign the same song the EXACT same way unless they copied.
interpretations are just that - one person interpreting the music and what it means to them. what it means to me, and how i choose to portray that, might be completely opposite to you. :)
@allyballybabe Ok thank you! I am asl and know the signs but i sign the songs a littel differently. I just wanted to make sure I wasnt signing wrong. Like we have the same signes for the same basic words ,but we sign the sentences differently. So thank you. You are so good. Your better then I am, and I am deaf but just relearning Asl, because I forgot it after all these years of speaking english
Can you tell me the sign usised at 1:11? It's a "P" handshape. The moment and location are the same as the sign "boring". I've never see it before. Is it a regional sign?

Hey Ally! Just saying I love your videos! They have been such a great help for me. What sign are you using at 11 seconds? Keep up the awesome work! Thanks! :)
what does the sign at 2:25 where you brush your index finger with your other hand mean? i've seen it a few times in other songs people have signed to, but i'm not sure what they're saying :) thanks!
This is amazing! I love your translation of this. I'm a recent ITP grad and I wanted to do this song, so I watched yours first so that I don't do mine the same way, and I love the way you set this up. Very visual, I enjoyed it very much. [:

wmg should be happy that someone is translating these songs into ASL that way the deaf people can also hae a way to listen to music!!!! I have my hearing but i love to watch ally put some of my favorit songs in ASL.
I've seen a few of your songs, this one is my favorite so far. I really like the backgrounds and the fact that you are standing. You really let a lot of expression out here. Loved it! Great job!

Wonder how many "borrow" from your interpretation, just a few I've seen look pretty similar, then again, most of the same concepts/signs would be thought of by most. I'd love to see this interpreted a little more ASL way, like instead of following the words, paint a story. Though, only less than a handful of people on YouTube can do this, I'd love to see others try; it seems pretty difficult. But you do a great job for what you do. *smiles*
Ally what is the sign you are making at your nose with a twisting k hand? I've asked around and none of my Deaf friends know. Is it a regional sign for cheating?
You are amazing as you could tell from mi other comment i know a little well (i haven't done it for like 2 years) but you are amzing you have inspired my friend to get into this!
I was so excited to find you when i was researching doing asl to a song for my talent competition for 2009 miss teen butte county (which i ended up winning) as part of my duties this year i will be signing to the National Anthem! would you please be willing to post a video of your version of the National Anthem? if you would like to see my talent search "Marcee's 2009 Talent" thank you for all of your videos...my whole family enjoys them!
Thank you! I signed to the Star Spangled Banner about two weekends ago at an American Legion Dinner. I researched lots of places on the Internet and may have run across the person you refer to. You are right, there are a lot of different versions of how to sign to this song! Thank you!
"You should've said no, maybe then you might still have me."
In the main course, you literally sign: "maybe / then/ you & me/ still / together." Then, at the very end of the song, you end it differently with: "maybe / then / still / "going with; going out--sign.
That is brilliant and def. convey's the true meaning of the song into ASL. I am not an expert, nor claim to be (your knowledge in sign is FAR superior to mine, I bow to the master) I just love it :)
i absolutely LOVE this song and when i hear it i will often times start to sign and i love your interpretation. The facial expressions perfectly capture the feelings in the song,
Thank you so much for taking the time to record and post all of the songs you do.
Lol...omg thanks Ally you really helped me out...i'm trying to asl well its kinda hard but i love the way you sign its wonderful. Anyways I love the way you can like sing songs without saying a word....it's kinda like a dance but with ur hands and i love it...anyways thanks Ally keep up the good work.
i tried learning ASL a few years ago but it was crazy difficult and i just didnt have enough time. neways...the vids are amazing and i love that you are signing Taylor Swift songs, she is awesome! :0)
Can you sign the song "Everything I do, I do it for you" by Bryan Adams. I love this song and Im deaf and I do sign the song.. but I couldnt figure out how to sign that song. it would be great if you do. I love the way you sign. It would be greatly appericate if you sign that song.
Umm, you *could* read her channel. All of the information below is on her profile page.
She's a 20 year old, hearing interpreting student at Baylor University in Waco, Texas.
She's been signing for about 7 or 8 years now and my guess is that she's probably heading towards a career in professional sign language interpreting.
I don't know ally if i ever thank you for this I was one of the people who requested it Davison thanks so much keep the vids coming love them. =) =] =) =] B) B] B) B] <3 <3 <3 <3
Hey Ally, I love watching your videos and I have been taking an ASL class this week and it has been sooo much fun and my instructor seemed very impressed with what I knew. I just wanted to thank you for doing these songs. They are very inspiring. lol
I'm not sure if you mean the one at the beginning of 1:27 or the end, so I'll include both. The first, I believe, is need - but I'm not positive. And the second is finish, or end.
actually, 1:04 means etc..like..songs, smiles, flowers etc.
1:24 is DO. its like two c shapes...as in like..take it back, DO and then the negation NOT. like if i hadn't done that, if i took it back
1:27 she signs given 1 chance. its the same hand shape as used for need but two of them are used in a directional verb sign as if you're giving someone something from you. CHANCE is signed like finish, but with a C handshape instead of the open 5 handshape.
so, the sign with the two f handshapes going backwards kind of over your shoulder IS "take back"? I kind of figured, because it looks a little like rewinding something guess..because the sign for before or past is over the shoulder...i couldn't find that sign on any dictionary.
well, the sign with the f handshapes is normally done in front of the body. and it means to "switch something out" or "trade" or ... "replace" "substitute" things like that... so, when done in conjunction with the sign for HISTORY (h handshapes going backwards over the shoulder), it meants to take back what was done in the past.. or to replace the past. :)
In my humble opinion, of those who are hearing that can sign, some kid themselves when they try to "sing" songs in ASL. You are NOT one of those, you can sing very beautifully :)
Signing songs is a gift in which many interpreters will admit they don't have. I think the reason your videos are so popular is that even those who do not know sign, know good workmanship and talent when they see it. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Good job and thank you, I am learning a lot from your vids!
totally awesome, i memorized your translation and sign it everytime i hear this song. can i please request that you do "your anything"-taylor swift and "permanent marker". i think you would do permanent marker well because it has attitude, which you portray amazingly
i dont really understand the gloss you use for "i found out about you". what does the "k" handshape sign by your nose (similar to 'bored') mean? thanks!
i've learned so much from you. thank you for posting. you are a great resource! =D
I happened to come by this by chance but I really enjoyed it. My receptive skills aren't that great and I was suprised to be able to understand most of what you were signing. Good job, I loved it!
I'm sorry, I'm a bit confused. Are you deaf or hard of hearing? If so, how would you know the beat of the song?

Umm, you *could* read her channel. All of the information below is on her profile page.
She's a 20 year old, hearing interpreting student at Baylor University in Waco, Texas.
She's been signing for about 7 or 8 years now and my guess is that she's probably heading towards a career in professional sign language interpreting.

im 17 years old and i want to take ASL classes but there aren't any in my area.
so im forced to watch vids here on youtube
ive been watching expert village and people are saying that those aren't accurate
i was wondering if you'd be willing to teach ASL here on youtube with videos??
it would be a great help to those of us who are passionate about it, but unable to sign
thanks!
toastarchurro 2 years ago
unfortunately, the time and effort required out of teaching ASL on the internet is too time and energy consuming to do it pro-bono.
i'd have to have some sort of income, and there's not enough people asking that are willing to pay. :-\

Hey Ally, I love watching your videos and I have been taking an ASL class this week and it has been sooo much fun and my instructor seemed very impressed with what I knew. I just wanted to thank you for doing these songs. They are very inspiring. lol

I'm not sure if you mean the one at the beginning of 1:27 or the end, so I'll include both. The first, I believe, is need - but I'm not positive. And the second is finish, or end.
coralrose798 2 years ago
actually, 1:04 means etc..like..songs, smiles, flowers etc.
1:24 is DO. its like two c shapes...as in like..take it back, DO and then the negation NOT. like if i hadn't done that, if i took it back
1:27 she signs given 1 chance. its the same hand shape as used for need but two of them are used in a directional verb sign as if you're giving someone something from you. CHANCE is signed like finish, but with a C handshape instead of the open 5 handshape.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
pinkbutterfly97 2 years ago
nope!! you did well!! :)
allyballybabe 2 years ago
thanks!! :p
so, the sign with the two f handshapes going backwards kind of over your shoulder IS "take back"? I kind of figured, because it looks a little like rewinding something guess..because the sign for before or past is over the shoulder...i couldn't find that sign on any dictionary.
pinkbutterfly97 2 years ago
well, the sign with the f handshapes is normally done in front of the body. and it means to "switch something out" or "trade" or ... "replace" "substitute" things like that... so, when done in conjunction with the sign for HISTORY (h handshapes going backwards over the shoulder), it meants to take back what was done in the past.. or to replace the past. :)

In my humble opinion, of those who are hearing that can sign, some kid themselves when they try to "sing" songs in ASL. You are NOT one of those, you can sing very beautifully :)
Signing songs is a gift in which many interpreters will admit they don't have. I think the reason your videos are so popular is that even those who do not know sign, know good workmanship and talent when they see it. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Good job and thank you, I am learning a lot from your vids!

totally awesome, i memorized your translation and sign it everytime i hear this song. can i please request that you do "your anything"-taylor swift and "permanent marker". i think you would do permanent marker well because it has attitude, which you portray amazingly

That's an amazingly awesome video! I have 2 questions, though. What are the signs at 2:04 and 3:46?

i dont really understand the gloss you use for "i found out about you". what does the "k" handshape sign by your nose (similar to 'bored') mean? thanks!
