Awesome!

I'm sure you know this already, but try to find more appropriate ASL grammatic wording for the English lyrics. I know it's difficult. Another idea, in Rihanna's context when she says "speech" you might want to consider using a sign like "announce", rather than talk.

Just an example to fine tune, I'm sure you can do that to many other signs. Maybe something other than act, too. I know it doesn't matter now, but I love figuring out how to sign songs I hear. :D

Thank You! I appreciate the help, but I am just going to explain why the signs were chosen. "Speech" as in a a formal piece of writing that is composed for a specific audience, is signed the way I signed it, that isn't the sign for talk. Speech is a noun and announce is a verb.

& the reason I used "act" for "show" is because she is referring to a show like a play or performance. The sign for both of these is the same as "act".

I'm not being rude, just explaining. Thanks again though!
