Tulsa Pt. 11 - Kris Allen - Live Like We're Dying - ASL (Live)

[spazzmuffin512]

Would you put up a gloss for this song??

[lovemonkey104899]

Anybody notice the sweat-stains? Awesome signing though

[SachSamSethAlexis]

@lovemonkey104899 you dance/sign under lights for 2 hours and you have no stains.. Give him a break!  He is great!

[carolknows]

"Live for today". I love this, so much. <3

[2111jade]

My favorite video that you did was "Grandma Cooked The Dog" I'm gonna show that to my grandma durring christmas :)

[2111jade]

Or Californa! Lol, what ever works. :)

[lovet210]

Come to NYC :'(

[peaceoremo]

I would comment on a more recent video but I cant on mobile. But can we request songs?

[pawprints1986]

I wonder if theres anyone here on youtube (reading this comment i mean) who cant hear anymore, or who could never hear - i wonder what you get out of these videos? Especially having never heard music, do you make up your own concept of music depending on the type of, i guess attitude, the signer is using?

its just really interesting to think about. Its interesting to watch when you can hear, i wonder if its even better when you cant?

[Imagine1350]

Come to Miami. I'll go see you!

[dragynm]

I am sitting here in my living room, applauding even though this performance was recorded a year ago! Will you have any other lives performances?

[mellowmallory]

I came across this guy on accident and I am totally amazed! in love <3

[davidxarchuletaxlove]

Can you perform Love is Here by Tenth Avenue North PLEASEEE. You are reallllly good, I performed that song, but I want to see it from a different perspectivee(:

[Kinglol57]

the best one i've seen :)

[Kinglol57]

nice

[LAstudioproductions]

i like how you get into the music! you make it more fun to watch(:

[mmmstrawberriesmmm]

I think it's really cool that the gloss for what you signed actually means "Live for now" instead of "Live like we're dying!" Not only is your signing incredible, but you really help to put the songs into perspective instead of signing word-for-word:) Make more videos!!!

[TheHit360]

@captainvalor , just out of PUUREEE curiosity, when you sign fs-USA why not use the sign for america? it would fit in just fine, so i thought i'd just ask ;D

[CaptainValor]

@TheHit360 Because she says "USA," not "America." :\

[LiveWithNoRegrets95]

"Don't forget to be awesome!" <3

[EVPpsycho]

You should sing more well-known songs. It's make people relate more.

[ashkosh414]

you're perfect.

[weasleyqueen7]

I love your videos, I think you're very talented. Also, I think you're super cute. :D

[alybabe137]

This interpretation is very well done. I am signing this song for a school final exam, and would like to know if you can post the gloss of this .... please responddd!!!!!!! please please please !!

thankss !!

[Ashlei7227]

nice armpit sweat

[AboutGetClean]

Love this song and this interpretation was amazing! Really makes you "listen" to the lyrics that much closer and drives home the message which is so important!

[babybelle32]

This is so cool.

[UnCreativeBeliever]

Wow, you sign... I don't know how to discribe it; you are truely amazing. You are one of the people that I look up to and that make me want to learn this language. My school currently does not have a Sign Language class so I sometimes just want to give up on teaching myself but ten I come on here and watch someone like you on youtube and I know it's worth it to learn this beautiful language. :)

[siriusdragon]

I adore your facial expressions. Most song interpretations I've found they forget compleatly about the facial expressions.

I was trying to teach my parnter how to sign (since my partner is hearing impared And your videos really helped. I found my partner's signing getting better, even my own getting better!

I also love that your songs give not only the lyrics but the sign lyrics too! They help with my (utterly terrible) grammer!

[lookingfortarzan]

Hurrah glad you uploaded the rest! Best of luck with America's got talent. Can Brits vote?

[browneyes2007]

Love the interpretation on this song.

[OUdarling]

DFTBA! :D :D :D

[FlowerPlanet]

@CoriLeigh

:( wats DFTBA? I've seen other places but i dont know what it is.

[ificry]

@FlowerPlanet DFTBA is an acronym thats stands for Don't Forget To Be Awesome. The Vlogbrothers (famous nerdy youtubers) started it.

You should check them out.

[Banasre]

@ificry I wish I could vote up your comment more than once. The Vlogbrothers are so jokes. :D lol. DFTBA.

[Yersinia20]

I love the way you do this song! Will you be recording this like your other songs with lyrics and gloss? Looking forward to whatever comes next! :)

[CyberDraco]

My wife love this song, very good choice sir.

[whyyohyou]

even your sweat is adorable.

[2MuchAwesomeChannel]

TMA!

[rescuebabe2002]

again, flippin fantastic! my girls and I watched all of it. best of luck with Americas Got Talent! We'll be voting for ya!

(pssst... right guard ... maybe they'll use you for an ad! lol)

[BeingLolaStar]

You're amazing! Really! My roommates pick on me because I've watched your videos so many times that I've started to be able to follow along with some of the parts. You've got great taste in music and a wicked talent to share with the world! DFTBA!

[khawkins277]

you did an amazing job with this song and every song you sign lol. i love watching you sign songs because you put so much emotion into. keep it up. :)

[queenloreen]

awesome! Before viewing I wondered how u would translate the title-line. "Live-For-Now". . Conceptually perfect in my opinion!! Very enjoyable to watch, I love your ASL vids!

[jiffyb333]

You have such a stage personality, I once remember you saying during an interview that you had to do you vid's 20+ times before you got them right, how did you mange to memorize so many songs to preform?

[ln3000]

From one Stephen to another.... YOU ARE AWESOME!

Thank you.

[Cittykat27]

Really awesome! :]

Can't wait for more in the future,

And glad you got the "First" thing straight this time haha :p

Stay AMAZING

[flippedfoot]

@captainvalor what sign is that for dying?

[flippedfoot]

@flippedfoot it looks like your saying live for now. Am i crazy or is that right?

[Jbspangs]

@flippedfoot

His signs for "live like we're dying" is LIVE (in english) FOR NOW

:)

[siriusdragon]

@flippedfoot The sign for dying is two flat B's (One palm facing down; one up) then turn them over. Like rolling in your grave.

ex: Left palm down, right up. Turnyour hands over: Left plam up right palm down. Works like that.

(at least in canada thats the sign for dead. might be diffrent in the states. I know some signs are diffrent. like an accent thing...)

[ToriL90]

@siriusdragon What he was signing was "live for today," which is one possible interpretation of "live like we're dying." Maybe he didn't think that the metaphor of "live like we're dying" would translate well into ASL, so he chose a phrase that was a little more literal. That's fairly common in translation. Personally, I would sign that like something like, "live like soon dead."

[dmitriwillguard]

HOLY HELL! I didn't know you were a Nerdfighter!

[kickasskat79]

love this song :)

and a nerdfighter too?! bonus points!

[kpfell]

DFTBA!

[happygolucky068]

I think I've seen all over your videos... twice lol. Big fan right here. I'm teaching myself ASL because I work with a girl who is mute, mentally disabled, and mobility impaired. She doesn't have much dexterity, but so far I've taught her 6 signs! The more I learn from you, the more she learns. Thank-you for being such an inspiration!

[TheEsotericPoet]

I came across your videos the other day. You're videos are awesome! And you're charmingly cute. =)

Keep it up, look forward to more stuff.

[lapetiteasiantique]

First like! :D I really admire your ability to sign so fluently doing these songs... it inspires me to take sign language even more, just haven't found the chance yet!

[aziangr1]

dftba :] awesome show!

[CaptainValor]

First! ;D

[xxxlunnitaxxx]

@CaptainValor you noe you should do a video for this song "K'naan - Wavin' Flag" my frend did for our asl class n its was awsome how she did it but i wanna see you doing it....pliz!:}
