OMG!!!! What a great job and he's so cute he really got into it making it like he was singing it and it made me cry!! Give this kid a contract!!! not only is he talented but he makes deaf teens not feel left out.
now they can enjoy the music as well.

You people are idiots. He's not using ASL. He's butchering it. He's basically signing exact english. Any Deaf person worth his salt would see its obvious he's an hearing ASL student.
Really disgusting that he has to hijack our language for his own agenda and he doesnt even do it well.

He was wonderful! I am a hearing person and I followed along with him and he made me happy:) They should have him do others and pay him quite handsomely too!!

I loved this! "Singing in sign" How fantastic and his expressions just made it even better. That was so much fun to watch, makes me want to learn some sign language.

The video interpreter isn't that great in signing the song. I have seen better than that. I'm well aware with expert of signing. I'm little suprise that this guy has made in article in the news which some of others done better than him didn't get reconized at all. Whoever post the article should seen others to compare before posting it. But, I do appreciate his hard work toward this video.

I'm not much of a Miley fan. But I love that song! haha. I absolutely love it. I don't know why. Because her voice annoys me. I like a couple of her other songs but that's about it.
I would become her friend, just to meet her brother Trace and Metro Station though. haha

great video. this guy - whether deaf or hearing- signs with his whole body. that's the way it should be done!

Awesome video.
BTW- It is more proper to label Deaf/Hard of Hearing rather than hearing impaired. Many Deaf people don't like to view themselves as "impaired."

I'm an afro american who have never been attracted to white men but I'd sop him up with a biscuit and wont share with anyone ps love this song!

I am a fifty something hearing man with a knowledge of sign. This man’s video made me smile as I know it did to many. I have worked as a party and club DJ for three decades and after my indoctrination to deaf culture always tried to add sign and/or share the ‘feel’ of the music to my audience. I hope this is a great new trend! Jon

This is one of the best musical videos in ASL. It really helps the deaf understand the music. It is great. Great interpreter! I love it and need more of this signed music.
