I am HOH and I love this. I was not always HOH and I understand ASL videos and CASE/SEE videos also. I watch all of your videos. I think it is beautiful and has helped my mom learn sign and help her talk to me.
Love this!!! As to the comment about the black background and shirt, this is what I was taught to use, especially for people who are deaf/hh & visually impaired. It makes the hands easier to see. Soph, you have put so much emotion into your signing and I haven't really listened to much Adele, but your performance gave me the chills!! I am hearing btw, but work with Blind/Deaf-Blind people and am a so-so signer! xo
you make me cry I'm starting to learn about sings but you make me cry and now I no need to hear. just feel, thank you for make me happy and show me how the world can be if you start to feel instead hear or see or talk its simply amazing, muchas gracias!, domo arigatou!, merci, thank you
Woo! Thanks! I'm hearing and I learn SEE but from what I see her signings are not exactly SEE. Good to know that there's something called CASE. Sign language and deaf culture never fails to amaze me ^_^
you are my number one ! I keep playing and see others has no face expression or show emotion feeling related to songs. I thank someone who sent me and I fell in love.
It was the first of your videos that I watched. The best one! Sincerely, I cried! I think you should perform with Adele in a concert once. Kisses from Rio
That was totally awesome, Soph!!! I love your style of signing and I especially enjoy your facial expressions which add a wonderful dramatic effect. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. You make it look so easy which makes me want to learn how to do it too!!
oh wowwssssssssssss. you are too cooool. I am Deaf and your signing is just too purely awesome. It is just as i like it, creative, imagination, and educational all in one package. Keep up a good work. =)
Ive seen your videos before and all I can say im impressed. Your videos can only get better, I loved the editing and special effects you did to this one. nice touch
Love this song, i keep repeating it all the time your amazing Soph - I am australian deaf women hoping to do something like this someday in Australian ASL - This alone has helped me learn to listen to the song and I praise you for that :-) Hope to see more of your interpreted songs in the future!
wow you continued to impress me well, i dont know why click it, well awsome. you know i only listen to trance,techo(not freaky sound),rave, littlebit rap. I loved hearing it and i like your style of music, great taste
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!! I am not deaf but I love your songs I am trying to learn and have come across some anger from people on what sign I choose to use but I LOVE to sign songs and your videos are the most easy to follow yet by far the most beautiful to watch as well. thank you so much keep it up! you are amazing! could care less what kind of signing it was it would look beautiful coming from you. besides there are a million ways to say the same word sometimes right, I mean look at a thesaurus
SO PERFECT!! JUST WHAT I M LOOKING FOR. I M DEAF BUT I PREFER ESL WHEN IT COME TO MUSIC I LUV TO LOOK AT THE VIDEO AND HAVE THE PERSON TO SIGN THE SONGS (WORD TO WORD ESL NOT ASL) THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO DO THIS!!
love this, I am learning sign language, took up to class two, and truly love the language. I just think you did such a beautiful job, thank you for being brave enough to share this with us.
which is why as a student, I find the comments of these videos even more informative! I can recognize signs and learn new ones from the videos, but I find I learn so much more about Deaf Culture from the comments!!! thanks :D
Wooooow! Ten thousands pounds of respect for you! I am hard of hearing, and you made the music CRYSTAL CLEAR to me. I could hear every SINGLE word in this song! Hope to see more of you here! Kudos to you! Please: you in the deaf community who whine at her for her way of interpreting the songs. Keep in mind that her performance is rather intended for those who use hearing aids! If you want to watch music video translated into ASL, do so. Respect that we all are different;).
I love how the video moves and u are so into the music! To many ppl are quick to judge, some of them act like your not deaf! or maybe it's cuz they think your hearing cuz it's music! I perfer english rather asl due to the fact to many deaf ppl & hearing ppl's english SUCKS! ( mine too but not as bad as some of them!! ) Keep up the good work!! Love you!
I believe this video uses more of the method of SEE2 rather than CASE, because she signs the literal words in perfect English order, she even fingerspells "IT" for the part ♪you rose to claim it♫ Something not used in CASE
I see a few new nasty-grams posted. Languages are living, evolving vehicles of communication. There are pedants in every language, lecturing everyone about the proper way to speak... No one owns a language, including ASL. Everyone speaks differently--some better than others. Soph has a beautiful voice. May it never be silenced by bitter people who have an axe to grind! Sing on, SOPH!
OMG!!! you did such a WONDERFUL job doing this.....thank you so very much...am gunna share this on my facebook wall...again...thank you for your friendship
Congrats for the vid, I am not a native English person nor a deaf person, but I've been always interested in English sign language. Since I don't live in an English speaking country the only way to learn ASL or BSL or any standards are the onlyine video dictionaries, but I am gald, that I could recognise some signs that I learned from these videos, and songs make it easier to learn thanks and congrats again :)
For some in the deaf community, the fact that they are deaf is seen as a unique aspect to them and them alone and sign language is not only a language but a cultural aspect of that community, just like Spanish is to naitive Spainish speakers, or Gaelic is to the Irish
I am a hearing sign language interpreter. I love to educate people about the fact there is a difference between ASL and signing in English word order. The video above it nice and I really like it, but I think the only thing wrong with it is that it's labeled (ASL version) instead of (sign language version). Otherwise, love Adele and this sign interpretation. :-)
Its because hearing people treat us different, NOT all but a majority. People are scared of what they don't know, as a result we are guarded more then a "normal" person!
Interpreting the lyrics exact as possible is not only respectful to the artist, it delievers a message the deaf haven't heard. Excellent interpretation!
hi soph!!! im currently studying bsl level 2 and im doing this song as part of my assessment, i really love this version you have done although its asl its close enough for me to practice using your great emotion in this song... love it... thank you so much x
OH MY!! AS A DEAF PERSON I FEEL LIKE YOURE THE BEST PERSON TO SIGN ANY OF THE SINGS!! I DONT KNOW IF ANYBODY HAVE TIME THE TIME TO SAID THIS BUT I LL SAID IT TO YOU.. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING THE TIME TO DO THIS!!! JUST SO BEAUTIFUL!!
Great signing! The only negative is that your hands are not fully clear as they are blurry. This is very important that they are clear. Keep up the great work!
Sorry, I must. I must confess that... I'm addicted to your videos.. You edit it to look nice, and the emotion conveyed adds a different perspective to it all. Good job there. :)
thank you so much for your gracious explanation. Posts such as these are badly needed. I understand the Deaf/deaf community's need to protect their own, but really, if they would be more open to at least identifying those of us that truly appreciate them and their langugage and have a true desire to learn and be an active part of their community, they'd find more friends. Once I use my "student" skills, they practically turn their backs on me. That screams I'm not welcome. How do I learn?
I love it. It is so cool to watch people interpret.
I am HOH and I love this. I was not always HOH and I understand ASL videos and CASE/SEE videos also. I watch all of your videos. I think it is beautiful and has helped my mom learn sign and help her talk to me.

She does it so beautifully.

I think she did a great job. I can see what the song projects. Thumbs up!
It is so beautiful thank you so much for this lovely video I really cried watching it. God bless you
Beautiful!!!!Lovely!!!!
That song is very sensitive. Even though am kenyan deaf but I understand what you are singing. That is great believe me. You did good job.
Beautiful signs. Love it
Spectacular!
Thank you for turning what you do into as much as an art form as the Song itself and sharing it!
I don't know ASL, but this is amazing! Your movements are so beautiful and expressive, I also enjoyed how you timed the words to the beat of the song.
I like how u designed on ur video, like design/smoke/the way u moved closer/back,etc...Awesome...I like the way u signed the song...
Woo! Thanks! I'm hearing and I learn SEE but from what I see her signings are not exactly SEE. Good to know that there's something called CASE. Sign language and deaf culture never fails to amaze me ^_^
I just registered for an ASL-101 course. Your video is so beautiful and has me so truly inspired. Thank you.
wow soph this is amazing I just love it... whoa..

Ive seen your videos before and all I can say im impressed. Your videos can only get better, I loved the editing and special effects you did to this one. nice touch
Probably because music is beautiful anyway,
but ASL is the perfect tool for interpreting beauty through language.
Love this song, i keep repeating it all the time your amazing Soph - I am australian deaf women hoping to do something like this someday in Australian ASL - This alone has helped me learn to listen to the song and I praise you for that :-) Hope to see more of your interpreted songs in the future!
