Tulsa Pt. 1 - Black Eyed Peas - I Gotta Feeling - ASL (Live)

[jammydoger5000]

Dude keep up the good work:D

[MateoJFR]

wow this was awesome! your electricity was really good... some of the signs needed work but i can totally over look that sense you did a great job

[soda3689]

i love this i hope you make more asl your so clear and easy to understand keep up the good work smile

[Zebonka]

This is ridiculous. Just go read a book.

[Kellyann4590]

Is the sign for "Thank you" and "good" the same sign?

[MateoJFR]

@Kellyann4590 thank you is the sign he did, but good starts out the same but it ends up into his other hand like a reverse hand clap

[deafornot8]

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.

[TheNinthDoctor]

This is really, really, really good! I love watching you sign.

[libaldoino]

I loooooooooooove it and I wanna learn it! It's awesome!

[248Smithy]

LOVE YOU!

[pearltf1]

where are the captions?

[LOSTwithoutLOST108]

press 5 wait a second press again and repeat sounds like kanye west... hold 7 its spiderman shooting a machine gun

[justmedownhere95]

You're one of the reasons I'm going to study sign language throughout the rest of my high school years and college! Thank you so much for the inspiration and videos:)

I love your stage presence and how you get into the songs!

[beautiful304]

Don't worry about the haters, wherever you are the signs are gonna be a bit different. I loved it!

[missjustinDB]

captian valor.. were you nervous at all?

[barribethivey]

i can sign all of the songs you have done on utube +more i am 11 and fluent in signlanguage (i am a girl by the way , yes a girl named barri, my parents wanted a boy ) my left hand touches my chin and then my right hand . (i mean good )btw, a teacher showed your "party in the usa " video and everyone except 4 me was going "man,that guy looks wrong when he was shaking his hips " i understand ,though .

[rhinolovingpianist77]

I have a question about a sign. I see that you sign TODAY NIGHT for tonight. Does that just show it's tonight or could you just sign 'night' and have the same meaning?

[ellenlaughs93]

@rhinolovingpianist77 He signs Now + Night, not today and night. Together they make "tonight", it shows that the night is the present night. Technically today is put together the same way, Now + Day, but many people who speak ASL will just use now instead of Now + Day.

[41bubblez]

kinda different then me

[weirdnessofthem]

LOL people were doing this in the town centre, and on the good night bit, me and my friend were saying good boobs

[DarkHpokinsn]

Awesome!

[sebluexy]

Very good job !!! Enjoyed watching...love how your signs were with the music !!!

[ace6824]

ure great what u r doin bud!!! i hav a deaf mom n she thought it was awesome dude! so keep it up, im goin to be a rapper n indefinitley will sign in my music videos cuz i hav a deaf mom n all, but the asl is amazin! its just so fasicinating!!! i just love deaf ppl ya know? so just keep it up man :)

[MythrilShotgun]

I love the way he signs and its saddening that Youtube took down the video of Stephen and his friend doing this song in their cool duds. I just love how much he looks like a cartoon character made to life in that vid and now I can't see it. :(

[Ansariahs]

@MythrilShotgun omg i'm so upset about that too! =(

[mom2kazkidz]

I just love watching you sign, your expresssions are awesome!

[juwug]

I hate this song, but I really enjoy watching you sign it. Really great.

[thisonerandomgirl]

and also, does anyone know the ASL gloss for "paint the town?" thank you! :)

[thisonerandomgirl]

does anyone know what sign he used for "Like oh my G-d?" thank you so much!(:

[andypandy11115]

i love ur signing and btw i am hardofhearing!!

[lainieyeoh]

this song in ASL kinda reminds me of bhangra :P

[suzanator339]

its beautiful,wonderful and awesome.who in sam-hell would post neg comments?? as in speaking ppl,isn't everyone their own unique person who uses language in his own way?why can't a deaf person express him/her self how they choose? especially a Black eye pea song,where they champion diversty.

[MrOngiron]

!!!U ARE GREAT

[kellyteeter]

I love Stephen, I am a deaf person and I have to disagree that I do not find it offensive for him to sign the way he does, heck even my ASL teacher loves him. He is bringing sexy back threw signing LOVE YA

[ahadnagy167]

he looks really nervous. he's rushing a lot

[Sarashhh429]

can you please add a gloss?

[thisonerandomgirl]

@Sarashhh429 i agree, i really need the gloss..

[corks14]

I Love watching you sign. I've been learning (With a class) For a few months and by myself for about a year but am still not to great lol. Do you make vids that slow down the song to help us learn them? And if not can I request one? Like teach the sings first then put them all together? It seems like a fun Idea

[laiq]

I'll start this comment by saying that while I'm not deaf, and nor do I understand ASL (Or BSL for that matter, since I'm a Brit!) I am partially deaf, but have been incredibly lucky that I am still able to function as a hearing person. I am however a performer and can appreciate a good performance when I see one. I've been astounded by the level of artistry in your music, and I'm so glad to know that while the signs are important you are able to get accross the feel of the song too. Thank You

[babybop505]

your signing is very english, but your expressions and intensity is great, good job

[babybop505]

not good asl at all, your grammar is way off

[ZET210]

You are so talented, and you have such a great stage presence! I love you to bits.

[Mabrooke2690]

That was fantastic!! 2:38-3:30 = How amazing were you???? SO GOOD!!! Ah!!! I just can't get over this! I was introduced to your videos today and I'm so excited!!!

[gkally63]

I love this!!! your so fun to watch!!!

[Luigi101girl]

Wow awesome job!!!

[TenorPlayer1800]

excuse me.. why wouldn't you sign

future tonight good experience OR

tonight future experience awesome...

wouldn't that be more ASL sir?

[tigress807]

We got to watch party in the USA at out camp this past summer and now we all try to do what you do. When you do this thing moving my hips like yeah, our whole room just died with laugher! Thanks so much for making these videos! :D

[tubeWriter91]

Great



[Picto58]

hi! Can i share this to my friends?

[thebeardedone]

You really rocked this song! Your recorded videos are quite good, but being in front of a live audience bring new energy to your performance.

BRAVO!

[dark1elf1angel]

i am just curious about one of the signs in this song. i had a argument with my mother about this. when you get to the part in the song where they repeat "do it" are you saying "acting" or is that the sign for "do it" i just want to finish this argument with her. could please explain.

[CaptainValor]

@dark1elf1angel Good question! I learned that motion as the sign for "Do" or "Take action" in my ASL classes. I realize there might be regional differences though, so you might've seen something else.

[20Unbelievable06]

you are an incredible signer! i LOOOVE watching your videos!

[coollynnie12]

Are you deaf?

[sadiebeattie11]

that was so good, i find this version better then the recorded one with ur friend XD

[PeterPanDisneyDork]

great idea for an opening! :D how much do i love you? SO much! <3

[kyelena2]

I truly enjoy watching you. Your facial expressions and body language truly portray how the song is supposed to feel to the listener. I am very proud of what you are doing here. Thank you. again.

[chickmagnet4626]

i was really sad when the movie stopped i wanted to hear him speak = )

[CaptainValor]

@chickmagnet4626 Watch the next video!

[CellarDoor367]

wow! you are so fast and perfect with the beat! This is SO COOL!

[MrDolphin101]

so i got a question for anyone out there. what does the sign that he uses in 1:05 stand for, does that really mean "oh my god"

[CellarDoor367]

@MrDolphin101 Watch his video for this same song when he does it as a duet with a friend. It has the Gloss written for the whole song in the side bar, so you can see how he interprets the song.

[Mhakumba]

ok

it's off now

[Mhakumba]

ok, i just read my wasitcalled and it was offensive and i'm going to take it off

as soon as i figure out how...

[Mhakumba]

chill! It wasn't supposed to be offensive! I'm sorry if you thought it was.

and i still think he did a good job

[rynaehope]

Your are very entertaining to watch and you are right in with the music that makes it GREAT TO WATCH. KEEP IT UP!!

[AgathaVincent]

That is just awesome.. Thank god to the internet for the deaf. Just amazing.

[starbucksphoebe09]

The Deaf community doesn't like the term "Hearing impaired." It's Deaf and Hard of Hearing. The Deaf do not see themselves as "impaired" they see themselves as perfectly normal.

[atlovart]

I'm part of the hearing impaired and deaf community and I think this guy needs to get over himself. He thinks he's helping the community, but he's just milking the celebrity experience.

[StainedglassWings]

i think in this song in particular it's more the character persona that he is portraying than his actual personality. It doesn't seem to me at least that he's full of himself.

[webkinzlove214]

I know you think the signing is good but he doesn't look stupid, and that can be offensive my sisters deaf and is someone who is really good and accurate at signing really look stupid? Sorry but he did a really good job even my sister says so.

[AprilOO8]

Wonderful. You are very entertaining to watch. I am just learning how to sign and did a video over spring break. Good Job!

[rockinokie]

I was in Tulsa this past week... Sorry our dates didn't line up, I would have loved to come see you perform!

[JaziiGerl]

pwoaaahh your moves are so sharp and perfectly timed.

purely amazing.

[DarthK3v]

I got a question for you, cap'. Is it easier for you to do live performances where you sign than if you were to sing or is there no noticeable difference? Just out of pure curiosity if you find it easier to sign in front of an audience than to sing in front of an audience.

[PinkforMe1]

Love it! I love how your movements reflect the beat of the song! Would you mind checking out my video to "Two is Better Than One? It's my first song interpretation! Be friendly ;)

[coolbeans1216]

This was great. It looks like you are in fast forward, this was great.

[crazyDOORcom]

great job!!!!

[cjm3704]

hot

[playyaplay]

Are you from Oklahoma?

[bubblemum]

Steven- the moment you start to tour, I want to know and get a ticket! I loved all your videos- but you live on stage- WOW! And do you have the fifth video and song you talk about in the 4th one?

(cookie minion)

[elizabethathenry]

most amazing thing i have ever seen, amazing job!

[musicislove325]

*jaw drops*

O..M...G........

THAT WAS AWESOME!!!!

I'm currently teaching myself ASL. I hope someday i'm as good as you are.

[judysweetfunny]

Bravo Bravo Bravo!!!!!!

Love this so much!!!!

WOW you have great energy...and bring so much to the song!!!! love it so much !

five stars xooxoxxoxoxo

[vballcarlie93]

he signs so fast! i bet he was completely worn out after that!

[ImmaSkater25]

i bet hes good at the robot

[shawnshawn1993]

AMAZIINNNNGGG

[SmickyS]

you are awesome!

[Loves2Sing86]

effing amazing

[dantes1976]

It's great to see you perform live before an audience containing deaf people! Glad that they have a way to enjoy music.

[canadiankazz]

I don't usualy like that song, but I really enjoyed your presentation. ^_^

[Kami9799]

GREAT JOB!

[weeone01]

That was intense!

[Cynabunnie]

you're so fun. i love watching you! :)

[ChrissyMiss715]

has anyone ever told you that you kinda look like Shaggy from Scooby Doo?? haha

[joelove89]

I think its awesome what you do. I think people in the deaf community would be able to feel and hear how the song really is by the way you sign it. Plus you are really entertaining to watch ^^.

[zolofreak]

I'm so glad to see you go from in your room videos to this. Great job :D I cant tell you how happy I am!! :]]

[silenthearinmusician]

That was a good performance with a lot of movement in the beats lol but a word of Advice , Do not sign "O" to make the oooowooo sound. Its not a polite thing or politically correct thing to do because considering they are Deaf they would not be able to hear the "O" sound. What is usually used is the "wow" sign .

[CaptainValor]

@silenthearinmusician Hence the movement

that I use along with it. I'm not just signing

"O" alone, the hand movements correspond

to the relative pitch.

[PerinorAS]

@silenthearinmusician so its still O

[ooshadygirloo]

you were rocking it. you doing shows now?

[Spintown7]

Nice work Stephen. I saw you in the TMA chat room earlier, next time feel free to join the chat. Your ASL covers rock.

[Roussy26]

I love this song and I am very good at sign language, congrats :)

[jiffyb333]

Absolutly amazing! I love how you get so into the music, it makes you so entertaining to watch.

[FlowerPlanet]

:D yay yay yay!!!

[hagridacciohagrid]

This makes me so happy :)

[bobertdos]

Before the song even really started and I saw you were doing it solo, I thought, "Uh oh" and indeed, I can see why doing it with two people was a lot easier. They clearly increased the tempo to save on time too. Were you totally out of breath at the end of that? I know I would be! ha!

[SweetAsMapleSyrup]

Fantastic! You're amazing!

[megalissa21]

I LOVE watching you sign, it takes a good song and makes it so much better. Thank you for sharing it with everyone.

[tobyandsophie]

WOW......that just made my day:)

[AlatarielSunrise]

Wow! awesome! Loved it!

[EmilxKills]

sweet

[06moviegirl]

I can't tell you how much i enjoy watching you sign songs this just made my day and trust me it was a bad day. so Thank You and please keep it up. ♥

[Marienkaefer4]

Wonderful!!! How did you end up in Tulsa?

[bbdqsony]

Umm there is few way- Plane, Train, Bus or drvin his own car there... I doubt he walked if that what you think.

[PuppiePaddle]

that's soo cool :)

[Trenttoni]

Love it!

[geminikiller21]

That was Awesome,my friend!

[trinitysong08]

Come to UGA!

[Scince4eva]

I love it! Haha, you look like your having a spaz attack. It's amazing! Good job. :D

-SJ

[jacie87]

I really enjoyed the movement of it! 1st off- it was interesting seeing the dynamic of not having Shawn there. Secondly- the motion was almost mechanical and really captured the feel of the type of music. Good work!

[Grof142007]

bravo

[NicholeLeeVlogs]

awesommmmmeeee!
