  1. @boogywoogs94 THIS IS A MUSIC VIDEO WITH CREATIVITY AND DIRECTONAL CHOICE, NOT AN ASL HOW-TO! YOU SURELY COME TO THE WRONG PLACE FOR THAT! 🙂

  2. I’m in an asl class, and in order to actually be able to be read, I think you need to time your signs better. I could barely keep up with you and you didn’t even have much signing. Just a lot of people moving during lyrics.

  3. the captions are there because she sign on parts of the song, its just a different way of portraying the song..i think its creative and different…good job (:

  4. its a little MUCH at first but i appreciate the effort! i like your videos! i love how u grasped the concepts of the song!

  5. Next time, please do not make an ass out of yourself assuming we aren’t deaf, Not like you who don’t appreciate but rant and rave without suggesting. Too bad if you hate this video. It ain’t for you! SMH I look forward to your video! Show me!

  6. Why should you feel insulted when our crew who are deaf and hard of hearing making videos accessible for people like YOU? I have an idea, why don’t YOU produce a better music video than this one. Look around you and tell me if there are any music videos produced by hard working talents who volunteered their time and effort.

  7. are YOU even really deaf?
    this video sucks.

    this is a REALLY BAD way to help deaf people read.

    i am deaf and i feel completely insulted.

  8. That was really…really weird. I agree that more ASL and less captions would have been nice…the acting was really good in itself..but it was strange. I supposed disturbing. Which is probably what you were going for. hmmm good job then.. it was very disturbing lol

  9. I think your videos are alright, but I would rather see it entirely signed and less reliance on captions to get the information.

  10. Thanks for your feedback and glad you appreciate our videos. Your comments are important to us.

  11. These are amazing. So glad my friend pointed them out!

    I saw in your responses to other comments that you’re thinking about future projects with more complete translations of the lyrics, and maybe without the captions? It would be great to even have a separate version without the captions distracting. I know I’m not the main audience (signing but hearing) – just a thought.

    Regardless, this is an awesome project, and I look fowrard to what you do next!

  12. Thank you. yeah, I know d-pan and saw some of their work. They got good stuff going.

  13. I love the video it’s really good and you ave GREAT legs lol n ur cat was pretty hot too lol but either way I love what you’re doing for the deaf community you might want to look up D-PAN if you haven’t already they’re a non-profit org. who also make music for all people not just all hearing people. they don’t have many videos but they travel and do rally’s all that kinda stuff. n the videos that they do have are AWESOME but again you’re video was REALLY good too

  14. I really appreciate what you are doing. I had no idea the deaf appreciated music (my fault for being ignorant) but now I understand. I would also like to see the videos with the signing all the way through. Thank you

  15. To be honest, I think you capture the overall meaning of the song much better than Rhianna does. Thank you for posting this and I am looking forward to seeing the other versions of this video.

  16. Oh cool. that works. lol. sorry didnt mean to comment twice just hit the buttin twice. well i cant wait to see the other wone. this one is really cool thought. 🙂

  17. I have two other versions. One of the version of the talent is signing completely. I haven’t put that up yet. When I do, I will. I suggest you subscribe. When I put it up, you will get the notification. Usually, I like to have versions because, some people prefer signing all the way, some prefer the visual video, some prefer mixed, and it’s always good to know what others like or do not like. *Thumbs up for your feedback!* 🙂
