    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.

      Thank you so much for educating me on the translator. I watched him and wondered why his hands didn't do the same signs for the same words sometimes. I didn't realise how diverse sign was. Honestly stunning.

      @ConGamePro ปีที่แล้ว +22

      I’m learning ASL at the moment and I noticed that he wasn’t signing every word but I hope someday I can sign songs like this, although, I don’t know if could keep the tears back.

    She's a goddamn genius to even come up with such a weird concept, and finding a guy that can pull it off and make it sincere and not gimmicky in the slightest. A voice without face and a face without voice, hauntingly beautiful.

    She has the most beautiful voice ive ever heard. The way it splits and cracks soaked in emotion which some may perceive as imperfections actually make it raw and unique. Perfect. A famous Mancunian once said: "True perfection has to be imperfect, I know that that sounds foolish but its true" I agree.

      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. It kinda masks the non linear parts from ears. Its not that you cant be fluid across changes but it creates a pulse or rhythm in the shapes. Clever if nor cunning skill.

      SignLanguage Boy You are absolutely amazing and incredibly inspiring. I'm not a musician but actually a comedian and actress, but I absolutely love music, dance, and heartfelt open art - especially, darker, sadder/melancholic pieces (hah as odd as that might sound given what I do). 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. :)

      Well not exactly. Have you noticed that it's a lower key? She lipped the chorus' of the live versions in the normal key. It's freaking high and I don't blame her. But if you notice the piano versions she does at radio stations and what not are in a lower key.
      So you are half right.

    Sia’s voice is amazing, the way her emotion carries into her voice is breathtaking, but I think the credit here needs to go to the sign interpreter.
    I’m a classically trained ballet dancer. While I don’t understand sign language, I understand body language, especially how emotions are portrayed from the music, throughout your body and then given to the audience. This performance is the pinnacle of expression in performance art and says so much while doing so little.

    This is beautiful the visual interpretation of her lyrics through some form of physical movement, the idea to bring sign language into a somber performance and having the interpreter dress as a mime is truly inspiring. This version of the song is stunning and thought provoking.
    She is an artist her creativity knows no restriction.

    As I understand it, this is a song about her descent into alcoholism. It's beautiful and moving. It's especially fitting that the face we see is that of a sad clown, but the voice we hear is hers. Just so, so perfect.

      Dylan Scott... She doesn't hide her face because of Graves' disease. She hides her face because she hates fame and wants to live a simple life. There are plenty of interviews with her explaining this.

    • @7candygrl
      @7candygrl 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      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.

    This performance REQUIRES HEADPHONES! (You'll thank me) The song blows my mind no matter how many times I see/hear her perform. The power of her voice is no different than in a studio cut, where the sound engineers can any singer's mistakes. Notice her vocal range & control from low to high notes and soft to loud notes...pitch perfect! And the precision of her mic control is fluid & exact. THIS performance was flawless! On the scale of Adele!❤And the intepreter/mime was icing on the cake. His emotional performace balanced Sia's minimal movements. It was interesting how he didn't technically sign all the words to the song, but even with the "abbreviated" lyrics, whether you're able to hear or hearing impared, the performance touched their ❤❤ equally. The musicians were great, too! If you listen to the strings with headphones, buds, whatever, they are a joy to your ears.
