Can't speak for ASL since I'm french, but the majority of LSF speakers lip sync when signing, as do I though I'm not deaf or mute (all my deaf friends do though), we find it easier
Right she did that. Um sure her value went through the roof after this.....gotta turn some down now um sure. Hell um not deaf and enjoying dah hell out of her
As a deaf person I LOVE HOW SHE SIGHED THE AUDIENCE!!! I appreciate how she shows me the beat and just her energy is enough to send me in the Super Bowl ❤️❤️
I know ASL, and I was wondering if you thought some of her signs were a little strange? I’m guessing you also know ASL, so I wanna see what you think. Is it a regional thing? Idk, it threw me off a bit.
@@theonionqueen3519 know asl and as a black person who signs as well as our own coded signs.... If you can't understand the emotions while she's signing then I can't you. The rest of the deaf community that was there had no issue understanding her. As she once said in an interview, I want them to see the beat". Do really know ASL or are you just lying to throw dirt bc you're a miserable person who wants to throw dirt on someone who has achieved more than you? Ps. Her name is Justina Miles... Look her up and learn her story before trying to throw salt. ASL is her first language.
Remember God loves you♥️😊! Good news is that Jesus paid the punishment for your sins, He died, and rose from the dead on the 3rd day. you are ONLY forgiven and saved by putting faith in Jesus Christ for salvation. Please repent, change your life around and live for Him🙏. He is coming back soon🥳🎊.....
I've just started learning sign language and it takes dedication and effort just to get every word right in a song. Like it's fire how she's doing it effortlessly. And yes its an Art like really.. its impressive
She maintained a high level of energy till the end! 13 minutes! I would have tired out after 3 minutes. The coordination, timing, expressions, charisma.. This lady is a natural permformer.
She said in one of the interviews that she wanted for the deaf community to be able to “see” the beat. Each movement was intentional and created so they could feel the rhythm of the songs. I am just amazed with her beauty and her energy.
As a mildly hearing impaired person I appreciate her keeping with the beat. She is literally physically explaining the notes I don’t hear. I don’t understand sign language for the most part either so she is helping more people than she knows.
im hearing impaired/hearing deteriorated as well and still learning ASL. i felt as though despite i couldnt hear a portion of some of the music, the interpreter made up for that by hitting all the beats in the song through her movement and her emotions :)
It's also her dancing and the motions to the beat to keep the momentum of the song and provide the viewer a chance to see the actual beat. Unbelievable, natural talent.
As a hard of hearing person without access to sign laguage growing up this is so emotional to watch. Once "All the Lights" came on I was crying. Then "Run this Town." That hit me so deep in the feels. I was in middle school when that song came out imagining a world with more expressions like this. Deaf culture is getting recognition. Thank you Justina for breaking bariers! I aspire to work together.
Justina Miles was class valedictorian for the high school she attended. She also won the silver medal for the U.S in 2021-2022 deaflympics for track. She's also in school now for nursing. This young woman is definitely going places.
@@oOOOo33-q5q I'm confused on why you'd think she would of been awarded valedictorian out of pity. You're literally saying she's dumb without coming out and saying it, you're not slick. To become valedictorian, means you received the highest gpa within that graduating class. Also you need to take challenging courses on top of having the highest gpa. She graduated with a 4.0 at the model secondary school for the deaf, but I'm quite sure if she had chosen to attend a regular high school she would of excelled there as well. Also, she's hard of hearing not completely deaf.

@@jordi221b I’m just learning about her now! She’s incredible! From what I know of interpreting music, it’s not exactly done on the spot - well, it can be, but is likely to result in the less-entertaining sign language interpreters we’re used to seeing. There’s definitely been an uprising in music interpreters extremely dedicated to convey not just the words, but the VIBES of the music as well. It’s turned sign language interpreting into an art form for sure! Sorry, bit of a ramble, but I as I was saying, from what I heard, this type of interpretation isn’t done on the spot, it’s carefully prepared and practiced, like unique cover songs. That said, she must’ve prepared a ton to create this set, even her dancing between songs seemed so carefully thought out, it perfectly portrayed the beats. I wonder if she had to be near a speaker to feel the vibrations? Otherwise, I don’t know how she would’ve stayed on-beat so perfectly the entire time (assuming she doesn’t have a cochlear or something like that, which I don’t know of course!)

i completely agree, but there is one ASL interpreter that comes to mind, Amber Galloway. She went viral a few years ago for her ASL interpretation at rap concerts. She’s awesome and her whole mission is to bring music to life through ASL. Look her up, or look up “sign language interpreter goes viral at rap concert” something like that. She’s done a Ted talk that’s really worth the watch, plus VOX did a piece on her.
My sister-in-law is an ASL interpreter and says some of the hardest stuff to interpret is really energetic and rhythmic music because it's so much more than just signing. She and a friend of hers interpreted for an event we held and her friend was the one who did the hip hop performers and the girl had energy!
Yeah when I was doing stuff in school, obviously just taking a year or two of ASL we're not going to be nearly at a professional interpreters level no matter what but there were definitely songs that we were drawn to because they were easier and they're definitely not like what's in this video!
Can I ask you a question?? I am so intrigued by these amazing performances!! How do they know the beat and stay on beat so well?? And then when the song changes, they know exactly when. And they know to change the beat. How do they do that?!?! I am dying to know! It's so impressive!!!
@@kassygendron3022 Well most ASL interpreters are hearing and this one isn't 100% deaf. She is legally deaf because she is significantly hard of hearing so I'm guessing this interpreter has some kind of hearing aids. She did an interview on "CBS Morning" or whatever it's called and she said she was very familiar with all the songs already but she was given a set list about a week in advance. So what she did was memorize how to sign and then she planned how she was going to move to each song. I'm guessing she knew how the music was going to sound too with the remix versions and stuff because Rude Boy was insane! But as far as your question about how they can stay the beat/know the beat - for someone who is profoundly or completely deaf, they can usually feel it in their feet. I've seen deaf musicians/singers on talent shows and they come on stage barefoot or just in socks. It's for that reason. I have partial hearing loss myself and I can tell you I can feel sound sometimes better than I can hear it on a bad day.
@@victorialopez9717 wow!! Thank you so much for this. This is exactly what I wanted to know! That is all so awesome! And it is so fun to watch! Thanks so very much for informing me!!!
rihanna’s discography is so crazzzyyy i see why she’s done w this music thing lmao she ended on a BANG!! this talented queen brought so much justice to the music, she IS equivalent to the original hearing version if not better
You out into words what I felt. I was like this is what it looks like when someone is living out their purpose and destiny. N I felt very emotional throughout the whole thing.
@@unicornmadness6286 weird take. I’m hard of hearing like Justina, involved w Deaf community, been signing my whole life, fluent in ASL and still couldn’t do this. Yes it’s her native language but this also shows skill not everyone has. This is more than everyday signing, it’s a performance. Therefore…impressive. It’s ok to give credit to performers when it’s due.
I am a beginner when it comes to sign language and it is not easy to understand at times. I enjoyed every second of her interpretation of the halftime performance. Smiling from ear to ear ❤
I have seen a musical with an interpreter. They were not only interpreting, they were actually acting and during the songs, they would dance to show the beat just like Justina. What these guys do is amazing ❤️
i remember like 8 years ago there was another interpreter who was this level of skill. she did the ASL for eminems RAP GOD and she still somehow managed to keep all the beats in too. theres like only a handful of interpreters of this skill level and they are UNMATCHED. i love watching the ASL performers at all concerts
Riri's performance while being pregnant, those talented backup dancers and this amazing interpretor made this halftime show the greatest super bowl halftime show ever. Well done team super bowl
Definitely not the best IMO but it was a good performance. I honestly think Prince's halftime show was the best Superbowl performance. If you haven't seen it I'm pretty sure you can find it on TH-cam.
@@hippo440 I'm tired of there always being a scandal because something outrageous happened in the show. This was great and refreshing to see it all go right. Rihanna doesn't have to fake a scandal, she trusted her performance
She is gonna be booked solid for the rest of the year for all types of events. Great job Justina. You mesmerizing talent draws everyone's attention. ❤️❤️
I doubt booked for the rest of the year. Because there are other interpreters that does the same as her. more opportunities yes, plus she’s in school to become a nurse.
She really popped off on Pour It Up and slayed the entire performance. Even before knowing she wanted the deaf community to feel everything that was what I noticed. She would imitate going across the Tom’s on a drum kit and accentuated every bass kick and all the rhythmic Melodie’s perfectly matched the energy of the songs. Really cool to see something I’d love to do since that’ll be my main area of study in grad school (:
Crazy how I'm tearing up watching this even more than when I watched the original performance live! She clearly not only loves what she's doing, it takes such skill to radiate and share her joy as part of her performance and service.
Watching her makes me wanna cry. I don’t even know her and I’m so freaking proud of her and happy that she’s getting recognized. She has such a bright and infectious energy about her, not to mention how beautiful she is. Can’t wait to see more stunning performances from her.
It's so cool how she uses her motions to convey the beats in the music during breaks in singing. Interpreting music seems so hard because of the emotions conveyed and the music itself but she absolutely nailed all of it.
As a person who can hear, and enjoys music on a daily basis, just looking at this video without any sound conveys so much to the point where I can imagine the music in my head (yes, I'm a fan of Riri and am familiar with most of her songs) but even without that, her body language, rhythm and movements, her whole body emits music. I can't understand any of the signs, but by lip-reading I can recognize the songs, and the signs are often self-explanatory, just wow... Mad respect for her. 👏👏👏
its been a year but when i saw this video on recommendations i just couldnt resist and clicked, gosh shes indeed stunning, my thoughts not only didnt changed but moreover i was just mesmorized even more by her reactions and how she handled every beat, word, sign.. so impressing and inspiring, watched the whole video without blinking
Watching her perform made me wish she was featured on the regular telecast so everyone got the chance to appreciate her performance. Also, it made me grateful to have the ability to hear music. Imagine if someday all deaf people gained the ability to hear.
She can't interpret on the spot because she's deaf herself. She needs to memorize the track set, the beat and everything beforehand. Most interpreters you see on TV are hearing people translating what they hear to sign language. What Justina did is a performance on its own
@@FeliciaKrismanta I’m not sure I follow. What do you mean by “on the spot” - the whole performance (including her own, as she says here: th-cam.com/video/BlTsBxu8KiQ/w-d-xo.html ) was rehearsed down to the T, so why would that prevent her from being featured live? In some ways, isn’t it at some level a rehearsed performance, just like everyone who was featured on the telecast?
I don't know how they found her, but l am glad they did. She is phenomenal!!! There may be a new career, after she graduates from college! She gave the world a performance!!!! And a fantastic one indeed!!!!
How you received over 200 likes for this comment is mind blowing. Especially since it makes absolutely NO SENSE. She's like 20 years old, so how could she be the mother you never had? And the rest of your comment, like you know her personally, which more than likely you don't. SMDH, people need to stop liking nonsense.
This girl is amazing!! I'm not deaf-but can't imagine a better way to make the deaf community feel that vibe- So much more passion than anything else in that show!! Keep crushing it!!
my favorite parts: 0:31 “a shot” 1:15 the way she signs the synth-sounding music 2:16 the way she signs “heart” 2:31 LIKE A MAN 3:58 holy hell this whole part is so good 5:51 the way she signs the lyrics and then the sound effect 6:45 so good 6:55 bands make you girl go down 8:06 when the lights + sign + vocals line up 9:35 how she signs the vocals 11:59 the lights lining up again
Los intérpretes de Lengua de señas, se preparan muchísimo para lograr la mejor interpretación. nada es improvisado, no te quepa la menor duda. Hay que elegir el conjunto de señas para armar las glosas de forma que llegue el mensaje. Hay que traspasar la canción( la poesía de la letra) en simultáneo a una gramática diferente como es la lengua de señas que tiene otras características diferentes a la gramática de la lengua oral/escrita del idioma que sea
My dad owns a car dealer and his employee who details the cars is deaf. Idk why but this hit me in the feels. The fact that this woman puts so much passion so the deaf community can enjoy Rihanna’s performance is so beautiful
She is so incredible! Her energy is infectious! I found myself so much more affected by the show when I watched this young woman put her magic into interpretation! Thank you Justina Miles for gifting us your talent!
This was such a beautiful performance.. she gave a awesome show. People were able to actually see a performance while she signed for them. This brought tears to my eyes because it was so beautiful..
Translation to english: She is a true preformer..Dancing,singing,sign language-how can you match so many timings so amazingly-how much did you practice..!
Some people are so talented that you create a position for them. This young lady is such a person. I would finance this young lady in a heartbeat. She is such a credit to the ASL community.
This performance makes me so emotional every time I watch it. I’ve always loved music, but both my parents are deaf so I’ve never been able to share my love for music with them in a meaningful way until now. She’s amazing, & I am so grateful for this video.
This woman is so entertaining & moves so fluently. I could watch her for hours and not get bored, she killed this! Definitely deserves all the praise she’s gotten. She isn’t easy!
Had me in tears the whole video, so much heart and soul in her performance, seeing how she signs the beats and everything and she does just does something to me
Why does this bring tears to my eyes? She is just unreal. Feelin every single beat and making sure those that are deaf can too! Go queen! Edited to correct my comment to read “deaf”bc…. intention and reception 🫠
Really, the terms are D/deaf and Hard of Hearing. Often terms we think we're trying not to be offensive with can be pretty offensive. For example disabled people like the term disabled people not handicapped. Not upset just spreading some understanding 😊
I was actually thinking that audibly challenged was the better “new way” of describing it but so much changes so quickly it’s hard to keep up. I’ve always used handicapped tho. A friend of mine in high school (I’m in my 40’s now) would correct anyone (teachers included) if they said the r- word or anything outside of handicapped.
Wow! She made ASL look cool af. Thanks for this video finally was able to see her whole performance. She was truly something that we've never seen, I heard her say on CBS Gayle King morning show that she was signing the beat of each song along w/the lyrics, she was beautiful her energy, facial expressions & dances truly gave us a show. The world fell in love with her overnight & now more people want to learn ASL. She deserves every success coming her way, I hear she's quite a driven & smart young woman 🙌🏾 👏🏾 ✨️ 🤎
The fact she is acting out the beats, doing ASL, AND lip syncing is just crazy talent.
Can't speak for ASL since I'm french, but the majority of LSF speakers lip sync when signing, as do I though I'm not deaf or mute (all my deaf friends do though), we find it easier
In a lot of sign languages, mouthing words is part of the language! You'll notice she doesn't mouth all words
no, not really.

She’s awesome and her whole mission is to bring music to life through ASL. Look her up, or look up “sign language interpreter goes viral at rap concert” something like that. She’s done a Ted talk that’s really worth the watch, plus VOX did a piece on her.
Have you ever seen the girl who did Wap that went viral?? She comes in 2nd place for sure. Lol
@@kassygendron3022 OMG YEESSS
@@jordi221b This video definitely speaks volumes fr. Especially for ppl who are deaf
My sister-in-law is an ASL interpreter and says some of the hardest stuff to interpret is really energetic and rhythmic music because it's so much more than just signing. She and a friend of hers interpreted for an event we held and her friend was the one who did the hip hop performers and the girl had energy!
Yeah when I was doing stuff in school, obviously just taking a year or two of ASL we're not going to be nearly at a professional interpreters level no matter what but there were definitely songs that we were drawn to because they were easier and they're definitely not like what's in this video!
Can I ask you a question?? I am so intrigued by these amazing performances!! How do they know the beat and stay on beat so well?? And then when the song changes, they know exactly when. And they know to change the beat. How do they do that?!?! I am dying to know! It's so impressive!!!
@@kassygendron3022 Well most ASL interpreters are hearing and this one isn't 100% deaf. She is legally deaf because she is significantly hard of hearing so I'm guessing this interpreter has some kind of hearing aids. She did an interview on "CBS Morning" or whatever it's called and she said she was very familiar with all the songs already but she was given a set list about a week in advance. So what she did was memorize how to sign and then she planned how she was going to move to each song. I'm guessing she knew how the music was going to sound too with the remix versions and stuff because Rude Boy was insane! But as far as your question about how they can stay the beat/know the beat - for someone who is profoundly or completely deaf, they can usually feel it in their feet. I've seen deaf musicians/singers on talent shows and they come on stage barefoot or just in socks. It's for that reason. I have partial hearing loss myself and I can tell you I can feel sound sometimes better than I can hear it on a bad day.

rihanna’s discography is so crazzzyyy i see why she’s done w this music thing lmao she ended on a BANG!!
this talented queen brought so much justice to the music, she IS equivalent to the original hearing version if not better
2:36 ! The way she signed that song was mesmerizing! She did it so fluidly and bueatifully!
Anytime you watch someone living and moving in their purpose, it brings you to tears. ❤ So beautiful.
You out into words what I felt. I was like this is what it looks like when someone is living out their purpose and destiny. N I felt very emotional throughout the whole thing.
exactly. exactly this
She nailed it. I am totally impressed.
@@unicornmadness6286 weird take. I’m hard of hearing like Justina, involved w Deaf community, been signing my whole life, fluent in ASL and still couldn’t do this. Yes it’s her native language but this also shows skill not everyone has. This is more than everyday signing, it’s a performance. Therefore…impressive. It’s ok to give credit to performers when it’s due.
@@unicornmadness6286 😭they just were complimenting her over doing a good job 😭💀
Awesome.
@@jordi221b Sorry, you're correct.
I’m not deaf but this is the best song signing I’ve seen. It’s almost as though she’s the halftime performer instead of Rihanna.
She was for me. ♥️
didn't even see the full version of the performance but i'll gladly watch this over and over again, she did so good! ❤
I am a beginner when it comes to sign language and it is not easy to understand at times. I enjoyed every second of her interpretation of the halftime performance. Smiling from ear to ear ❤
She was far better than Rihanna
Yeap I'm normal... But I love herr energy
She has the lyrics, the rhythm and everything in her head. She is an icon
I have seen a musical with an interpreter. They were not only interpreting, they were actually acting and during the songs, they would dance to show the beat just like Justina. What these guys do is amazing ❤️
i remember like 8 years ago there was another interpreter who was this level of skill. she did the ASL for eminems RAP GOD and she still somehow managed to keep all the beats in too. theres like only a handful of interpreters of this skill level and they are UNMATCHED. i love watching the ASL performers at all concerts
I remember that. That woman was also amazing!
who is she?
@Laura Maria if you look up like ASL interpreter rap God, you'll find a woman as like the first result. She has like some dyed red hair
Her name is Amber Galloway❤
Ikr
This performance reminded me of that other lady
Riri's performance while being pregnant, those talented backup dancers and this amazing interpretor made this halftime show the greatest super bowl halftime show ever. Well done team super bowl
idk abt the best but it was very well done
Lol no
She can't beat Michael Jackson and Lady Gaga performances
Definitely not the best IMO but it was a good performance. I honestly think Prince's halftime show was the best Superbowl performance. If you haven't seen it I'm pretty sure you can find it on TH-cam.
@@hippo440 I'm tired of there always being a scandal because something outrageous happened in the show. This was great and refreshing to see it all go right. Rihanna doesn't have to fake a scandal, she trusted her performance
Coldplay and Lady Gagas are better. But this one is good too
I swear she went harder than Rhianna herself. She performed that entire show. She set the bar high for all sing interpreters
This was better than any music I ever seen! She entertained me at 00:01 ….such talent
The musicality of this woman is incredible, she was hitting every beat without miss
The way she kept up with the best was extremely amazing, it is difficult to believe that she is also deaf. Great job!!
@@kaygoodridge2186 she's not really deaf. She can still hear the music.
@@myyou7335many Deaf people can still perceive sound in some capacity
@@myyou7335she is deaf
@@adrienneczerni6516I believe justina miles is deaf partially and can still actually HEAR the song
She is gonna be booked solid for the rest of the year for all types of events. Great job Justina. You mesmerizing talent draws everyone's attention. ❤️❤️
I doubt booked for the rest of the year. Because there are other interpreters that does the same as her. more opportunities yes, plus she’s in school to become a nurse.
She's going to be booked for a good decade. Like this isn't the last we see of her!
I've seen her do other concerts, she is great
@@taylord7261 they aren't as good as her. Not even close
@@taylord7261 shove your negativity! You didnt have to say anything at all and yes shes probably already booked!
Wow I literally just SAW a beat change in sign language I’m SCREAMING!!!!
She really popped off on Pour It Up and slayed the entire performance. Even before knowing she wanted the deaf community to feel everything that was what I noticed. She would imitate going across the Tom’s on a drum kit and accentuated every bass kick and all the rhythmic Melodie’s perfectly matched the energy of the songs. Really cool to see something I’d love to do since that’ll be my main area of study in grad school (:
Her sense of rhythm is incredible
She is a dancer
@@lynnhoney3267 really...
It feels like she is giving her own concert...they better give her some awards and loads of money 💰..she has my huge respect 😌✋
Her interpretation was her own music video👏🏾👏🏾 she was the star of the superbowl
@@TefTV452 agreed
Agreeed
She killed it!!!! Like she was the true performer here fr
@@1jazzyphae yeah
Crazy how I'm tearing up watching this even more than when I watched the original performance live! She clearly not only loves what she's doing, it takes such skill to radiate and share her joy as part of her performance and service.
the way you can tell the change in music with her body language is amazing!
I had no idea she was deaf too! This makes her performance even more historical!!! Go ahead Queen🙌🏾🙌🏾
How she a deaf ?? She clearly hears everything
@@daaadonn__ No, she's deaf :)
@@daaadonn__ She's legally defined as deaf but she can hear minimally if it's loud enough. She stated that in an interview.
@@ameerahelijet6449 this explains the passion she has... 💜💜
She was better than Rihanna! Supergirl!!
Please hire her for every halftime show. I'm not a fan of football but I'll watch her performance
I'm so glad they highlighted this young lady's wonderful performance for the deaf community, you did them proud. Salute Queen.
Watching her makes me wanna cry. I don’t even know her and I’m so freaking proud of her and happy that she’s getting recognized. She has such a bright and infectious energy about her, not to mention how beautiful she is. Can’t wait to see more stunning performances from her.
SHE WON THE SUPER BOWL!!!!!
That part
She felt that deep in her soul. She was so passionate about it, she gave me goosebumps. Absolutely phenomenal. And I am talking about the signing.
I did not realize the artistry involved. Until I saw her!!!! 👌
Best sign interpreter ever... beat, rythm, sync... oh my.
This woman is a fucking queen.
It's so cool how she uses her motions to convey the beats in the music during breaks in singing. Interpreting music seems so hard because of the emotions conveyed and the music itself but she absolutely nailed all of it.
As a person who can hear, and enjoys music on a daily basis, just looking at this video without any sound conveys so much to the point where I can imagine the music in my head (yes, I'm a fan of Riri and am familiar with most of her songs) but even without that, her body language, rhythm and movements, her whole body emits music.
I can't understand any of the signs, but by lip-reading I can recognize the songs, and the signs are often self-explanatory, just wow... Mad respect for her. 👏👏👏
Glad you enjoyed it!
Yes! I did that too, and wow her energy is amazing! I felt that!
Same here i dont even know asl and im enjoying this so much she got the beat and everything
Exactly what I did watched this video volume off. And boy I felt it.
its been a year but when i saw this video on recommendations i just couldnt resist and clicked, gosh shes indeed stunning, my thoughts not only didnt changed but moreover i was just mesmorized even more by her reactions and how she handled every beat, word, sign.. so impressing and inspiring, watched the whole video without blinking
this happened seven months ago but i'm still here
Watching her perform made me wish she was featured on the regular telecast so everyone got the chance to appreciate her performance. Also, it made me grateful to have the ability to hear music. Imagine if someday all deaf people gained the ability to hear.
I don't think they could've had her on the field doing this because she would've outshined RiRi and the dancers with her talent!! She's the diamond!
She can't interpret on the spot because she's deaf herself. She needs to memorize the track set, the beat and everything beforehand. Most interpreters you see on TV are hearing people translating what they hear to sign language. What Justina did is a performance on its own
Most deaf people quite like being deaf, what they dislike is how the world is so bent on making it harder for them
@@FeliciaKrismanta I’m not sure I follow. What do you mean by “on the spot” - the whole performance (including her own, as she says here: th-cam.com/video/BlTsBxu8KiQ/w-d-xo.html ) was rehearsed down to the T, so why would that prevent her from being featured live? In some ways, isn’t it at some level a rehearsed performance, just like everyone who was featured on the telecast?
Right!
I don't know how they found her, but l am glad they did. She is phenomenal!!! There may be a new career, after she graduates from college! She gave the world a performance!!!! And a fantastic one indeed!!!!
From TikTok
@@nothingontv6818Oooooooo wow....thank you! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
She wants to be a nurse and be able to work with deaf people.
There is, I believe, no one that could have done this better than this woman she’s so amazing
Not me vibing more to her sign language than to Rihanna herself
She is the mother I never had, she is the sister everybody would want. She is the friend that everybody deserves. I don't know a better person.
what
😭😭😭😭
You know her personally?😐
Oprahhhh 💀💀💀💀
How you received over 200 likes for this comment is mind blowing. Especially since it makes absolutely NO SENSE. She's like 20 years old, so how could she be the mother you never had? And the rest of your comment, like you know her personally, which more than likely you don't. SMDH, people need to stop liking nonsense.
This girl is amazing!!
I'm not deaf-but can't imagine a better way to make the deaf community feel that vibe-
So much more passion than anything else in that show!! Keep crushing it!!
Yesssss she very good
ABSOLUTELY ♥️♥️♥️
my favorite parts:
0:31 “a shot”
1:15 the way she signs the synth-sounding music
2:16 the way she signs “heart”
2:31 LIKE A MAN
3:58 holy hell this whole part is so good
5:51 the way she signs the lyrics and then the sound effect
6:45 so good
6:55 bands make you girl go down
8:06 when the lights + sign + vocals line up
9:35 how she signs the vocals
11:59 the lights lining up again
Fully agree also the way she seamlessly transitions from the last line of run this town to the beat of umbrella at 10:07???? Godlike
She really gives off Rihanna! Has the same energy and really makes the show. I could watch this all day it's amazing
She's jamming!!! So much emotion and mimics RiRis vib really good. This interpreter is Amazing and extremely good.
Los intérpretes de Lengua de señas, se preparan muchísimo para lograr la mejor interpretación. nada es improvisado, no te quepa la menor duda. Hay que elegir el conjunto de señas para armar las glosas de forma que llegue el mensaje. Hay que traspasar la canción( la poesía de la letra) en simultáneo a una gramática diferente como es la lengua de señas que tiene otras características diferentes a la gramática de la lengua oral/escrita del idioma que sea
Well she should be since she signs daily.
... killing it
This amazing woman changed attitude and character 10 times right before our eyes. She was absolutely on Pointe! I'm speechless!
She killed it from beginning to end. 🔥
My dad owns a car dealer and his employee who details the cars is deaf. Idk why but this hit me in the feels. The fact that this woman puts so much passion so the deaf community can enjoy Rihanna’s performance is so beautiful
She is so incredible! Her energy is infectious! I found myself so much more affected by the show when I watched this young woman put her magic into interpretation! Thank you Justina Miles for gifting us your talent!
Amazing and well done ✔️
I turned down the volume all the way and I could tell what songs she was signing. Absolutely amazing!!
So the interpreter did so well ❤
She is so special and she knows it. What an amazing interpreter!
This was such a beautiful performance.. she gave a awesome show. People were able to actually see a performance while she signed for them. This brought tears to my eyes because it was so beautiful..
진정한 퍼포머 이시다..춤,노래,수어ㅡ그 많은 타이밍들을 어쩜 저렇게 기가 막히게 맞춰내실까ㅡ얼마나 연습을 하셨을까..!
Translation to english:
She is a true preformer..Dancing,singing,sign language-how can you match so many timings so amazingly-how much did you practice..!
@@Maddieson We all have the "translate" button.
@@emoarrrow😂 yes
한국인 ㅎㅇ
Hopefully she goes on tour with Beyonce and other entertainers. She has stepped up big time for interpreters. 🙌🏼💃🏽
I was thinking the same thing.... Beyonce is going to reach out to her.
Some people are so talented that you create a position for them. This young lady is such a person. I would finance this young lady in a heartbeat. She is such a credit to the ASL community.
This performance makes me so emotional every time I watch it. I’ve always loved music, but both my parents are deaf so I’ve never been able to share my love for music with them in a meaningful way until now. She’s amazing, & I am so grateful for this video.
She shone bright like a diamond...😊
This woman is so entertaining & moves so fluently. I could watch her for hours and not get bored, she killed this! Definitely deserves all the praise she’s gotten. She isn’t easy!
If you listen to it without sound you can really see the impact of her keeping the beat visual, she did such an amazing job.
Straight up and down she deserves a Grammy for this performance
she LOVES her job
She made us feel the songs in a different way
WOW!!! She gave her own entire performance 🤩
I come back to this every week and it gets better every time
i still can't get enough of her...
She is HYPNOTIC! Justina did a beautiful job! 😍
Forget tiktok dances, this the real shit.
Yes
Definitely True!!!!
Had me in tears the whole video, so much heart and soul in her performance, seeing how she signs the beats and everything and she does just does something to me
She obviously has many talents but this right here is her gift!!! You're amazing!!! Thank you for giving so generously Justina!!!
She's amazing! (And seeing her interpret "Rude Boy" made me giggle a lot 👀😂)
Thought I was the only one that was thinking that
Why does this bring tears to my eyes? She is just unreal. Feelin every single beat and making sure those that are deaf can too! Go queen!
Edited to correct my comment to read “deaf”bc…. intention and reception 🫠
That's PURE Joy! I understand ❤
@@brilliant8083 ♥️🎶
Ahh geez I’m crying now too ❤
Really, the terms are D/deaf and Hard of Hearing.
Often terms we think we're trying not to be offensive with can be pretty offensive. For example disabled people like the term disabled people not handicapped.
Not upset just spreading some understanding 😊
I was actually thinking that audibly challenged was the better “new way” of describing it but so much changes so quickly it’s hard to keep up. I’ve always used handicapped tho. A friend of mine in high school (I’m in my 40’s now) would correct anyone (teachers included) if they said the r- word or anything outside of handicapped.
She did so good can't stop watching the video
She’s singing, dancing and signing, what a performance she gave ❤❤❤❤❤❤👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
She was the best part of the super bowl. She's killing it.
Wow! She made ASL look cool af. Thanks for this video finally was able to see her whole performance. She was truly something that we've never seen, I heard her say on CBS Gayle King morning show that she was signing the beat of each song along w/the lyrics, she was beautiful her energy, facial expressions & dances truly gave us a show. The world fell in love with her overnight & now more people want to learn ASL. She deserves every success coming her way, I hear she's quite a driven & smart young woman 🙌🏾 👏🏾 ✨️ 🤎
You know she's the type of person that's fun asf to hang out with ❤
She's absolutely mesmerizing to watch. 🖤
