Very proficient little girl. I've been around a lot of deaf people (oldest kid was language impaired and her mother is an ASL interpreter) and while this girl is rather cute from our perspective, this isn't terribly unusual.

The funny part is that she's doing it as part of the chorus and it appears she has hearing. If she is deaf as well, even more impressive.

That's really cool. How can I use a power point to bump it further?

Will that do it?

Invocations (promote) cannot be called by SFOGuy because SFOGuy is not privileged - sorry.

She does hear, mom and/or dad are deaf, so she's "singing" to them. It's not the signing, per se, that's cute.

Epic ending. Be sure to watch to the end.

HA HA HA

This brings all kind of interesting questions to mind... How hard is it to learn to essentially use two languages at once - spoken (or sung) English and ASL in this case? And I assume you can't exactly rhyme in sign language, either - how does this all translate over? Not that "jingle bells" is exactly full of sense, but anyway.

I thought the title said "Girl sings to dead parents", and I thought ,"She's gonna have to sing a lot louder then that."

One cool thing about sign language is that all the "voice expression" has to be performed physically - your facial expressions ARE your emphasis, humor, sarcasm, etc. Kids who speak sign language are uninhibited, AND required to be really physical - if you EVER get a chance, go to some deaf theatre or a deaf speech competition at some point. They're AMAZING.
