I Want It That Way - Backstreet Boys - American Sign Language

Fun fact: Song of my childhood. :D My first concert was Backstreet Boys, when I was seven. Haha.

Also, due to copyright reasons this video is blocked in Germany. xD This made me laugh, for some reason. Oh no, I've lost my hundreds of thousands of German viewers! D:

Lyrics:
Yeah
You are my fire
The one desire
Believe when I say
I want it that way
But we are two worlds apart
Can't reach to your heart
When you say
That I want it that way
Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
Tell me why
I never wanna hear you say
I want it that way
Am I your fire?
Your one desire?
Yes I know
It's too late
But I want it that way
Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
Tell me why
I never wanna hear you say
I want it that way
Now I can see that we've fallen apart
From the way that it used to be
(Yeah)
No matter the distance
I want you to know
That deep down inside of me
You are my fire
The one desire
You are (you are, you are, you are)
Don't wanna hear you say
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
(Don't wanna hear you say)
I never wanna hear you say
I want it that way
Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
Tell me why
I never wanna hear you say
I want it that way
'Cause I want it that way...

[crystal20ak]

what did u sign at 1.21 seems like u sign chair gone?

[iWearAmask]

@crystal20ak I signed "train leave" which is an ASL idiom similar to, "Missed the boat."

[lyndsiwhitman]

This isn't ASL, this is more SEE. >.>

[iWearAmask]

@lyndsiwhitman Yeah, I figured... the distinction is mainly order, isn't it? And letter sign incorporation, I think?

[soffitboy]

Thanks Very Much!

P.S. We all wear a mask, yours is nice!

[iWearAmask]

@soffitboy Haha I'll admit I'm not exactly sure what you mean... in any case, the mask I reference in my username can be seen in this video on the mirror behind me, to the right. :)

[Oliver210290]

Love the shirt :))

[BenASL]

@iWearAmask Yes, and ASL would be more conceptual... I.E instead of saying "You are my fire", one might sign "You are my passion". Maybe change the title from American Sign Language to Manually Coded English? Or Signed Exact English? Very important distinction.

Nice video! I did this song for my ASL 3 class last year! Oh, and your shirt is awesome and makes the video a million times better (not saying that it was bad before) haha

[pacersfan191]

Good work! Stress your facial expression, but the signing is there. Keep on doing what you're doing! I started recording a few interpretations myself...they're on my channel if you're interested! (yes...I too did a backstreet boys song :P)

[dinahlee100]

Good talent, but really need to move your body and facial expressions to convey the beat and rhythm of th music. Keep on practicing..

[aslgeeklover]

Im Deaf, I use to sign English, but took an ASL class, So take an ASL class and u will be much better over time!

[aslgeeklover]

I was just like you once upon a time. But if you take an ASL class, you will learn to sing pure ASL. No english or PSE.

[grobiegirl12]

great job but i have to admit ur shirt was distracting me haha!
