No, she is the vibe.
She wrote a new chapter in ASL! What a gifted young woman.
Oh yeah and I can imagine she’s getting paid some amazing coins . Not only can she interpret but she does it with style .
She is an inspiration not only for the black deaf community but for all deaf community, I hope to see her more in the future
I was gonna say something like that 👏👏👏
Agreed, but you know how black people like to put themselves into a bubble to be significant and yet they screaming to end segregation at the same time.
You mad 😂 , Love Us
@@mpicc4808 SHUT UP
@@mpicc4808 not the time nor place for this comment lol
Now, these are the types of things that need to be celebrated. She made me feel like I understood every part of that masterpiece she performed.
Exactly! Now knowing that she is deaf and bodied it like sis did.. I’m crying! Happy tears! 🥹
I agree with you I feel like if we all mute and go off of the performance that she gave signing we would feel everything that we were seeing Rihanna doing amazing happy Black history❤
Exactly!!!
🤣
yes
She better be at every award show going forward.
Btw, thanks for the likes guys. Is great seeing people enjoy the success of others.
There are many incredibly talented deaf interpreters and they should all be given the opportunity to perform. I hope this opens doors and stages for the public to see their art.
@@glynisrogers3323 yeassss!!!! I
Beautiful ❤
Right?😂😂😂
@RJ_Been_Staxkin how is she hating for saying there are a lot of interpreters that deserve recognition? Y'all really be making me lose braincells over with the things y'all be saying
I’m glad she’s getting the recognition she deserves! I wish her the best with school and interpreting! 🤟🏼❤
@teenalaire bro what💀
Wow Africa looks like a first world. So shocked 😳😳
im currently learning asl as a highschool student, and man the talent Justina has is just inspiring. the movement in her expressions and signs is amazing, and staying on beat too. she really makes people FEEL the song and it’s incredible. im so glad she’s getting the recognition she deserves 💟💟
All the best with your studies! 💕🌸
Perhaps you'll do the same in the future (if you wish to). 😊 Best wishes with your studies!
She can actually hear but her range of hearing is low enough for her to be classified as legally deaf. She could hear the beat & wanted people to be able to "see"" the beat.
She was INCREDIBLE. I love that she brought the attitude and energy of music to help those who are deaf have a fuller experience of music.
Deaf people don’t really have an experience in music…
@@eligrotewold2813 I had heard that people can feel the beats etc through speakers but yeah that isn’t the same are hearing of course. I’m sorry if my comment was offensive and ignorant. I’m happy to be educated more on the matter so I can do better in the future.
@@MagickCat861I know many hard of hearing and deaf people who enjoy the vibrations of music. I think you understand just fine 😊
@@eligrotewold2813 then you don’t know deaf people. This is my neice, and both my siblings went to Gallaudet. And let me tell you.. their homecoming dances.. would blow the roof AND doors off your house. Plenty deaf people who have different degrees of hearing listen to music!
@@eligrotewold2813 they said in the video that Justina Miles (the ASL interpreter) is deaf. If you watch the video you can clearly see she is experiencing the music
I never knew signing could have so much flavor and expression. I always thought it had to be very exact or else it could be confusing or misinterpreted. She made it look so beautiful, rhythmic, and passionate. I love the attitude, I felt the lyrics.
There are regional and personal “accents” - my experience has been that everyone signs differently and you use your face and body along with your hands so its wildly expressive. I think it’s us hearing people that forget to use our face and look expressionless when we learn to sign.
@@renegademuse I agree.
I thought this too. So glad to understand more about ASL - a form of communication that bridges language and art
Yes there are definitely accents. I find a lot of Deaf teenagers mumble their sign!
Also due to the visual nature of sign languages many Deaf can community with signers who use different languages. I know Australian Sign Language (Auslan) but am not a native user, I once met a Deaf person from Italy (totally different sign language) and we could chat a little but the communication broke down quite quickly. However my Deaf friends whose first language is Auslan could hold full conversations. They relied on the visual nature of the language.
This is one of the reasons Deaf Interpreters are so important, and why they are often used to interpret complex situations such as with refugees and in mental health crises.
because she black ❤she bring out the best and has soul
That was the real show right there, she killed it. She is truly amazing
I love how these translators going viral lately don't just translate but throw their whole into it all. I'm bilingual and some things just don't hit when it's translated without the same energy behind it. Love it!
Interpreter* one thing to note is that there is a difference between a translator and a interpreter.
She rocked it! Thank you for representing the deaf community so wonderfully!!
But according to her she only represented the deaf black community.
@@JasonT850 Sdhu
@@JasonT850 You know that’s not what she meant. Stop misinterpreting stuff in bad faith 🙄
She was representing ghetto blacks, not the deaf "community"
@@kaya_in_North_Carolina wow. Hate much?
So impressed by this talented young lady. She came prepared, and delivered.
I rarely comment, but I love this comment "she came prepared and delivered" - sublime x Psyche aka Psyche Thompson UK 🌹
Here is the full clip

Absolutely ❤ 💎👑
anybody can lip sinc
@@donaldsimpson4148 it’s called sign language..
How does she know the way the songs flow? She can’t hear the melodies, or how the words are being drawn out, yet she’s perfectly on-beat all throughout the songs. Amazing
She might have a hearing aid or use one of the base devices for hear of hearing individuals idk
She can hear a little but I still classified as deaf
She's hard of hearing, not deaf.
Deaf people can feel vibrations
@iamsloth i was gonna say the same... ❤
You could never tell the hand signer for the deaf was deaf herself. She really brought life to those songs herself as if she had actually heard them with her own ears and was trying to really embody and show it to the deaf community. I had no idea she was apart of it herself. And her dancing was so incredible to see. Rihanna had the best interperpreter that night.
I saw her being interviewed by Gayle King. She can actually hear and speak, but she is still in the deaf spectrum. She is so entertaining. Such a cutie!
the way she hit every beat and knew the transitions... I had no idea she was deaf. incredible job interpreting and dancing ♥️💃🏽
She works as a translator for hospitals
She’s hard of hearing not completely deaf
@@kandicedavis6142 right! Because I’m like that makes no sense. She can’t be fully deaf and be able to translate right along with the music. She has be hard of hearing.
@@wshelby83 even if you are deaf, you’re bound to feel the vibrations around you. Not to discredit her, of course, she killed it.
@@egycrafts Thank you so much! I literally came here looking for the full clip and couldn't find it so I'm about to watch what you posted here Thank you so much
Can we take a moment to acknowledge how incredible these ASL performers are? They literally feel the music through the bass. It's a different interpretation than a hearing dancer feeling the music through sound.
Here is the full clip
th-cam.com/video/DWwxkP8gsUU/w-d-xo.html
That's what we're doing, this whole video is acknowledging how incredible these ASL performers are 😐
That is literally what the video is about 🤣🤣🤣.
You know Jimmi hendrix was deaf in one ear. Crazy good on guitar.
She's actually hard at hearing so she can get some of the song
This is proof that music is felt and not only heard. ❤️ I love the vibes. Great job!
Wait, so she can't even hear the music and she is on beat, on the right words and everything?! That's incredible! Props to her!
Deaf people like her who interpret for shows like the halftime show have their own interpreter to know when to sign to stay with the beat and lyrics
Being fully deaf is rare. Even in those with profound deafness (quietest sound detected being 80 dB or higher), it’s not guaranteed they’ll be fully deaf at any point in their life. She’s not fully deaf, she just can’t hear enough to be qualified as hard of hearing. She can hear music, especially if it’s loud. On top of that, she can feel vibrations. With enough practice for the gig she’s signing, she’s able to do it, flawlessly.
There are also hearing aids deaf people can use to hear better
She performed, she danced. But most importantly, she rocked she lit she vibed she served she delivered she cooked she ate she conquered and she slayed.
And she had so much fun ❤❤❤❤❤🎉
She even took time to clean all the plates and the table.
@andrew Smoooothhhhh😂😂👌👌❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
for some reason she kind of reminds me of zendaya.
This made me laugh so much! I love it!!
I had no idea she was deaf.... I mean, she could hit every beat of the songs.. incredible.
Y'all don't click on that link it has nothing to do with this....they're thirsty trying to get views....Sad ass
Theres certain way deaf people can sense things I believe
The vibrations from the music 🎶.
My aunt is deaf. We will turn the music up and base and she can feel the vibrations and move to the music
@@ITTHEPACK That is beautiful 😭
@@rainingskittles6975 it truly is. ❤️
What a queen! I totally would watch a solo show of her! My love goes out to all the fantastic ASL artists!
PLEASE I read this as "what a queer!" and I was so confused about the context lol.
@@AaraBeloved LMAOO
Man, we need her at every live performance! She is amazing!!!!
She’s definitely a star! Just seeing her sign language & dance is BEAUTIFUL

@@fendy9437 She didn't say she was 🤔
I love the extra touch with her long nails.
She really feels the songs and matches the energy perfectly. It’s like a whole performance itself. She’s killing it out there
How can she feel the song if she can't hear
@@candyxox actually, that is literally (in the real sense of the word LOL) what deaf people do, feel the vibrations. But this young woman is super talented!
@@candyxox feeling and hearing isn’t the same thing? Hence why I said “feeling” and not “hearing”. You can still fully enjoy music through literally feeling vibrations or even watching others in a performance.
@@VaniMidarii "feeling vibrations" sounds so sad
@@maneskinned when there's nothing you appreciate the most minor things. they make do with what they have.
I absolutely love her! I need her to book every award show and concert her calendar can hold. #SheIsAVibe 🔥❤️
She will inspire many, so in the energy and vibe of every song .
Man, Justina. I am not deaf just yet, but at 32 I have been warned to learn sign language. My hearing aids barely cut it anymore- it ever. It’s something i always wanted to learn even before this condition happened to me. Anyway just wanted to say you are BEYOND amazing. The skill and talent and life you bring to such performances- hunny you are a QUEEN forever and always
Wishing you well on this new journey of yours-it will be challenging but it’s looking like new doors are opening to you as well! There is beauty and artistry in the ASL community to be sure ❤
Just don't go to concerts or nightclubs cause titinitus can make it worse 🙏
I wear hearing aids too. They’re not cutting it either. It’s finally time for a second pair. But no one told me until now that there were other higher end hearing aids I wasn’t offered. They weren’t covered by my insurance! Now I know that the best ones are usually around 6k. Trying to save for something better than what I had but not the 6k ones. Hoping it will happen sooner than later. I hope with all the new technology we both end up with some improvement. Be well.
This might be your calling so pick up the phone.
she is AMAZING - I wish I could have seen on this on TV. That would have taken it to a whole new level!
SO TRUE MY DEAR👏🏽👏🏽❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yeah I don't remember seeing this during the performance
Fox Sorts on TH-cam may have the replay as shown on this Video
👏🏽👏🏽 exactly
❤❤😊
Beautiful..Like an interpretive dance..Imagine this at every show..Hope she inspires a generation of inclusive musicians..Its not just about the sound..Its all about the feeling..the rhythm..Being a part of something bigger than just yourself..
I am glad she was the one to do it, signing music is different to signing a normal speech, because it's not just words, it's the music and she expressed the music and the words and how they were sung with exceptional skill, turing off the sound and watching her, you can still feel the music, and as a person with hearing I could still hear the music playing in my head as she signed.
It’s unfortunate that the ASL performers didn’t get the exposure during the live telecast. I would have liked to have seen her full performance.
Not good for RiRi, justina would have killed RiRis boring performance 😂 justina was amazing, and on top almost feels like vouging 💪
@@rebelheart3840 she looks and dresses so much better than Rihanna.
@@chochooshoe its not a competition jeez 🙄
Yall are really comparing that girl to Rihanna😂😂
@@rebelheart3840 I’d love to see how well you dance while pregnant. 😂
Deserves every bit of success she's gonna get after her performance👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
The whole signing NONSENSE thing is sooo annoying and over dramatic. It's literally "deaf and DUMB".
She’s an inspiration to humans, not just one group of people. Good on her for displaying such an amazing skill. Languages and interpretations are not easy!🎉
She’s so great but I think she’s inspiration to all not one community! She’s sooo good! Loved her getting the praise
She nailed the vibe of every song...I could feel her every gesture. Such a amazing young woman.
Here is the full clip

Truly the only person for the job. She killed it.
Not the only person, there are a lot of deaf people in the world who can do that, I know, because I work with them
You think she meant that literally? 😮 You probably think she’s a murderer now too lol
@@Toucan11 I doubt the deaf people you work with are trained interpreters and are also young, black women, and also understand and can embody hip-hop dance, music and culture the way that she can. Being an ASL interpreter, especially a music interpreter, takes a lot more than just being deaf. Justina is truly the only person who checked all the boxes to interpret for this artist and this performance.
@@Jah_LEASE_yah oh, so now you know exactly what I do and the kind of deaf people I work with. I am also deaf, I dance and sign to music. Learn about it before you speak about, learn to read lips and so on. Talk when you know what your actually talking about. By the way, we’re you actually there to see WHAT boxes needing checking. You clearly have no idea what your talking about and regardless, she only addressed the black community, not the other millions. Keep dividing yourselves as it works in your favor and when it doesn’t work in your favor, you can go play your racism card. How about you stick to doing what YOU know best.
@@Toucan11 I don’t know how this turned into an argument. Please explain what I said that was offensives because my literal only point was that as a young black woman who clearly loves and appreciates hip hop, and is a trained in asl music interpreting she is uniquely qualified for this job. I didn’t say that there aren’t any other deaf people that like music, or know how to dance, or anything or the sort. And I didn’t pull any racism card. But since your brought that into the conversation, yes, I do think that a black woman, especially a black woman who understands hip-hop culture, is more qualified to interpret for Rihanna then a white interpreter. If that offensive to you then maybe you need to check with yourself and your own racial biases.
She needs to be the #1 in social media and start a company of others just like her so that some are not just reading captions. She brings the experience and vibe to the table. Bless her and all of her family and friends. Just love it!! and her!!
The BEST ALS interpreter. I love that she's deaf, too, as she connects much more with other deaf people. I think that's how she can be so expressive and creative in her signing. I love it!
Her facial expressions are everything. I really love that she was dancing & getting into what she was interpreting, it's about feeling just as much as it's about interpreting.
She really is a star her charisma is off the charts 😍 someone make her famous!
She is so beautiful and I love her energy. She definitely is a inspiration to the deaf community. I hope she goes far in life.
Love how this young lady hit every beat! She's young, smart, talented, and gorgeous! You go black girl❤️👍🏾
Very inspiring. The deaf community did not have the representation when I was growing up and I think it is about damn time! Love to Ms. Miles she will go far in life.
The whole signing NONSENSE thing is sooo annoying and over dramatic. It's literally "deaf and DUMB".
@@91dodgespiritrt Your comment is everywhere and makes no sense.
What she actually said was the "black deaf community" not the deaf community in general, which is too bad.
Thank you Rihanna for justina.🍸🍾⚘
@@kandykane2160 I copied this from a comment I left above because I just knew someone else would mention this.
Listening is key! This was just a sound bite of an interview. Her comment about the black deaf community was specifically speaking about her interpretation of “Lift Every voice”, which is a Black Anthem of the hope and resilience of Black people transcending the enslavement and discrimination of the past and celebrating freedom. I almost slipped up and questioned that part as well. However, I opened my ears and my mind to understand what they were referring to actually. Good day.
Even in her interview, she was very emotive and clearly a very expressive young woman.
KILLED it! Bringing ALLL this FLAVOR in sign language! Can't STOP, Won't STOP! WOW! Seasoning on EVERYTHING, even sign language!!! LOVE it!!! Excellence and flavor that just WON'T quit! (Does "Pay me what you owe me" sign language sequence)
1st time ever I’ve seen so many interpretations of sign Language 🤟 ☝️👉🏽🤌🏼✌️🤛🫳🏼🫲🏽 but the is the BEST !!! She makes deaf 🧏♀️ not deaf. Lol she makes the sign language look like dance moves !
"she makes the sign language look like dance moves !" EXACTLY~
She did not understand the assignment, she invented the assignment 🔥
Very well said.
She made ASL look like bomb choreography! Happy black history month - we add seasoning to everything🔥
All day, everyday!!!! ✊🏾🫡
Absolutely!!!
If that's the case she should've been the one on the stage right? And there's no such thing as "black history month". Their history is American history that includes all groups of colors and ethnicities.
@@rpgadventurer32 ok. 🥱
@@rpgadventurer32 shut up
I hope we get to see her translate more songs in the future! I’d go to any performance just to see her! She was the music! Amazing! 💖
I was taught ASL at a young age because my aunt is deaf and there are lots of cases where people are claiming to be interpreters but aren't. This young lady right here is truly amazing. Not only is she deaf but you would not be able to tell by the way she engages her whole body with it.
She has so much energy. She should have been on the stage too... she's entertaining! ❤
LOVED her! I’m 70% deaf, I read lips & sign. I’m a former musician, love Rhianna, losing my hearing though 🥺 This was so wonderful! Thank You Justina 💜
❤🫂🙏🏽
❤
@@CrystalM1917 Thank you 😊💜
Our girl just brought us a whole new choreo.
What a fun way to learn a new language!
This is so dope❤️
She killed it😍and she brought her A-game to the show 💕
she DID an awesome job! I KNEW she would go viral because of her talent and SHE is absolutely beautiful as well
She didn’t go viral, her ASL interpreter did. Her show was boring
@@Toucan11 Do you know how to read? She isnt talking about Rihanna she is talking about the ASL interpreter. Please learn how to read before writing something useless. smh.
This was so dope..everybody should have an opportunity to experience great performances..she killed it
Nothing incredible about it. All they did is walk back and forth on a stage and flop their arms up and down. Worst show ever
OMG she was so great didn't know she was so young .sooo beautiful .such a soulful young lady wish her all the best as a nurse .
She’s definitely did her job and enjoyed it as well you go girl ❤
She def gave what I wanted Ri to give 😊
She did an excellent job, super super talented and you can tell she loves what she's doing. She really could be the world's first sign language performing artist.
She is truly THAT GIRL!!!!!!! I love this!!!
Excellent! How lovely and kind she is, and what fun! This is really being alive.
I love this, she did not just showed your the lyrics, but also rhythm and emotions of the songs she was interpreting.
She gave the whole performance a whole new vibe
Edit: TYSM for the likes
Her energy was crazyyyy loved it!!!
Justina's energy is mesmerizing. Her ASL is from head to toe 👍🏾😆❤🤟🏽
She is a STAR...!!
Somebody needs to give her the platform to SHINE!!
We need people like her. She's truly an inspiration. Thank you Justina! 💕✌️
Wow! She's awesome! She does it with such life and expression that is captivating to watch.
SHE KNEW the assignment and passed with flying colours!!! Gr8 job Lil sis!!! 🎉❤👍🏾
LOVED THIS!!!! Her energy was unparalleled! Beautiful girl!
This young lady truly brings an incredible experience to the ASL community like no other - love everything about her!!!🥰
Humanity and artistry at their finest! Queen!
Justina killed it...I loved watching her sign language....She knew every word to the song...She really could dance..Thank You.
She is an Interpreter so she would of had time to interpret the songs and practice beforehand..
She was definitely feelinggg the music. Enjoying the music and doing her job, amazing!
My daughter has been signing some songs at church and it has been really amazing to watch as she learns a song. So much expression can be put into signing. It really adds so much to a song. It is an art unto itself.
Realizing the beauty of fingers and expressions for the first time
LOVE IT..... Involving EVERYONE & LOVING OTHERS IS THE KEY TO A FOREVER WORLD
This Beautiful Woman shows just how important interpretters are to the Deaf and HoH communities- how she so perfectly captures the energy and the rhythm of the music even for those who can't enjoy music in the same capacity as Hearing people. All that and you can see she's having fun! Kudos to her!
This is what's up! Absolutely amazing!! Glad she is getting her shine. She deserves it!
That's my girl. Rihanna as always made everyone inclusive. That means Rihanna picked her personally. Sis you shined.
She's a phenomenal human being, very gifted. Imagine all the people who benefited from watching her; they get to experience what music is through their own form of communication. Many Blessings to her.🥰🙏🏻
She’s beautiful and beautifully talented simply amazing.♥️🌹🙏🏽
I think she’s fantastic!
This is EPIC and ICONIC all by itself! Congratulations 🎊 👏🏾 💐 SHE NEEDS TO BE CELEBRATED 🍾 ❤️ AND GET AN AWARS! HANDS DOWN! I can't stop watching her! SHE IS THE ENERGY SHE IS THE VIBE❣️🤩🤎🖤 Man WE are an AMAZING PEOPLE!👏🏾 ✨️ ❤️
Phenomenal. She somehow feels the beats and she does not miss a beat!
I hope the kids get on this, they can learn to sign and dance along.
That's a GREAT idea! ❤
And it’s a high paying profession too 🤑🤑
She did amazing. Wow. !! Amazing energy!
Philly has a large deaf community. This is recognition for those amazing teacher's that care and work with our deaf. Kudos!!! Please, never stop.🙏
In 2019 I volunteered at Camp Sign in Houston where we hosted the end of summer party for the kids. The camp was not only for the deaf community but for non-dead siblings who needed to learn ASL to communicate in the family, as well as interpreters. We had massive speakers and a Jumbotron with ASL music videos. It was awesome for the kids to sing karaoke in sign language, jamming to Katy Perry and Rihanna. I love everything about this story. I volunteer and work to help make the world more accessible in my jobs I’ve had in corporate America and also in the adventure tourism industry (I’m a disabled veteran with a spine disability but am still very active)
That sounds so cool!! I wish ASL could be incorporated into all K-12 schools across the country, but I understand people will object over cost of “resources.”
It would be a fantastic plan of making the hearing society even more inclusive and educated about Deaf and HOH.
Thank you for your service by the way!!
I love watching the sign language interpreters when they do concerts and lively songs. I enjoy the song on a whole different level. Kudos to them
Okay, okay, this is dope. Love her energy, really bringing the music's emotion to the people. Queen.
She was definitely having fun, so expressive! I love it!
Bc she’s absolutely beautiful & exuding love & light vibessss for all who are deaf to enjoy 💜
She’s so radiant! To be deaf as well she’s so animated! ❤️
I loveeeeee thissssss thank uuuuu I hope sign gets more attention we deaf community can really appreciate that !!!!
Get it Justina! You are a diamond sis! ❤
I was more focused on Sign Language interpreter Justina Miles than Rihanna. I had to go back and just watch Rihanna's half time show. Now that I know the interpreters name... Justina definitely rocked out that performance 🤩
Yeah I was totally into her interpretation, and I can't even read sign!
