I absolutely love the part right at the end when he is signing “yet wave”. He brings a small, very typical version of a flag to the foreground and makes it a full size banner, that shutters and stutters as it’s shaking in the wind. The artistry in that rendition is magical and moving.

WOW! I've been geeking off of people reacting to Chris' rendition of The Star Spangled Banner and I was wondering if there was a video focused on the ASL and I found this. Amazing. Some of the people reacting to the anthem the regular video just showed a quick clip but people mentioned his gestures seemed to match Chris's voice & tone. If Troy is deaf and didn't react to the way Chris sung the song. Then kudo's to Troy for that performance. I am not much of a fan of interpretation dance and this is close. But I was riveted, the combination of that performance to Chris singing was the perfect match. Another question: How do they get the timing? The way Chris sung the song it was longer than standard if you played it off of the sheet music. Did Chris give them a tape of his planned performance and with they he was able to get the timing? The ASL did a wonderful job of telling the story. The "broad stripes and bright stars" got me. And by the time "The flag was still there" I think someone was cutting onions. Give Chris another Grammy for Best Live Performance and give Troy one too! If the ASL Community has awards, then Troy should be nominated.
@Me-ju6gp
Жыл бұрын
Troy is a Deaf actor, so he was performing the whole thing without reacting to Chris’s voice. I’m sure they practiced together beforehand so that Troy could observe Chris’s performance to get a feel for the tone and vibe. As for the timing, Deaf people usually experience music through vibrations, so whenever the music is playing, they can feel the heavy base notes and the vibrations. Each note feels different based on pitch and volume, and although I’m not sure how well they can tell the difference between all that at once, it does help a lot with timing and knowing how the music is flowing in terms of pitch, volume, and tempo. The way Deaf people are able to interpret music is so amazing! You should definitely watch Justina Miles at Rihanna’s halftime show at the Super Bowl. It was absolutely incredible!
