As a deaf person, watching the sign language interpreter was phenomenal. He didn’t translate the lyrics word for word, he showed the underlying emotion of the song through sign. That’s one of the most amazing things about translating songs into sign, you see another layer of the song’s emotion in how one chooses to translate it.

Shes definitely doing that to switch from chest to head to falsetto…. It’s awesome. We do similar things on guitar if we are jumping up an octave or two.

I'm also a linguaphile and have learned a few languages. You've inspired me to study ASL. (As for mime, I did a bit in theatre school, and loved it, especially our mime exam where we had to tell a story to music, but my skills left much to be desired, lol.) Anyway, kudos, and thank you for your performance. Brings me to tears and I love rewatching it. Best of luck and success pursuing your dreams, and maybe one day our paths will cross. :)

It is not "political correctness" to suggest that a trained, expert, experienced professional be described as such. It is, at best, willful ignorance to dismiss this specialist as a mere actor, a trivial stage performer. It is akin to describing an Army general as a Ritz Hotel doorman. There's nothing un-PC about my username. "a.k.a. Slasher" is a nickname I was given in the early '80s by a well-known science fiction novelist in joking reference to people who were too humor-impaired to see a joke right in front of them. On rare occasion my nom d'utilisateur will be noticed by somebody who was in on the joke way back then. Sadly, the numbers of us who remain are falling steadily.

Jeff Spicoli I've also heard it's because she doesn't want fame but isn't she getting even MORE attention because of covering her face? It's been in the entertainment news, people (like us) keeping talking about it and trying to figure out why she does it? She's a wonderful singer and performer but I think covering her face isn't helping her cause if it's to stay "low key and under the radar."Just a though.
