seeing the grammar of asl come through this performance is so cool and a testament to how amazing of a performer he is. he’s not just translating the song word for word he’s telling a story in sign language

I absolutely love the use of "ME-ALWAYS-SUPPORT-YOU" for the line "Who's always by your side" it so perfectly fits the meaning of that line, incredible video!

I have never seen so much expression conveyed through face and gesture alone, this is addictively beautiful and Im ashamed Im only seeing this capacity of ASL now…

As a second(ish) year student of ASL and major in theater, I love love these videos so much! I love that music and storytelling can transcend language, I love the beautiful movements of ASL, and I'm proud of myself that I can at least mostly follow along. Thank you for sharing this video of this amazing talent and passion. (And, as a girl who is always jealous of the guy's rolls/songs, I totally understand where he's coming from lol.)

Oh my God when he turned around when he first got into the angelica character and I am already crying cuz his face is just showing so much emotion

I really cannot get over how well Josh conveys a massive slew of emotions with literally only his face, and occasionally signing style. In this one song, even only when he's playing Angelica, he perfectly conveys her deep sadness and regret covered by a somewhat performative joy for her sister, but also perfectly captures her short mocking/teasing tone at the "he's penniless he's flying by the seat of his pants" and "peach fuzz and he can't even grow it," along with all the combined emotions of Angelica realizing Eliza is completely smitten with Alex. Even her tiny aside to herself, "Nice going Angelica, you were right, you will never be satisfied" he drops the mask he had just had while introducing Alexander and Eliza. Truly every second, every line, every story beat is perfectly planned out and executed. Absolute mastery of the song and its characters.

Oh my gosh,hey hi I’m super late to this party😅 But if anyone sees now,I have a question. I know that ASL doesn’t directly translate the same as spoken English,but does it also change when you’re signing a song as opposed to signing in a conversation? (Does that make sense?)
