Sign language interpreter steals the show performing Baby Got Back

Sign language interpreter steals the show performing Baby Got Back

This sign language interpreter is giving it EVERYTHING

Just call her 'Sir Signs-A-Lot'. Sorry, sorry.

But seriously, check out this sign language interpreter who went all in for her ASL performance of 'Baby Got Back'.

That woman is none other than Kelly Kurdi, and this is by no means her first time going viral for her sick signing skills. More on that later.

A video of Kelly signing to 'Baby Got Back' on board a cruise ship is going viral for all the right reasons.

Kelly's performance, while very informative and helpful to deaf viewers, is also wildly entertaining, complete with her own improvised dance moves in between verses.

Even viewers who aren't that well versed in ASL recognised some of Kelly's moves - particularly her signs for 'butt' and 'shake it'.

Who would have thought?

"Apparently I, too, know some sign language," commented one TikToker after catching the viral video, which now has more than 1.2 million likes.

Other viewers are suddenly interested in learning sign language themselves after spotting Kelly's routine.

You'd never be stuck for dance moves again.

Who knew this move was ASL?

"She makes ASL look too damn cool," commented one viewer.

"I love ASL interpreters at concerts, they look like they're having more fun than the artist," wrote another.

And on that note, let's talk about Kelly's other claim to fame.

Back in 2021, Kelly was asked to work at US music festival Lollapalooza where Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion were performing song of the year 'W.A.P'.

The crowd went wild for Cardi and Megan's performance, but those closer to the stage were far more interested in what Kelly was doing beside her.

As if that song wasn't viral enough when it first dropped, Kelly's ASL interpretation sky-rocketed it to a new stratosphere, because it turns out the sign language version of that song is just as filthy as the original.

Enough said.

After the video of her performance went viral, the freelance interpreter took to social media to thank everyone for showing her so much love.

"Thanks for the love on my page from hearing people but I'm just an interpreter passionate about providing access to a community I love and have learned everything from," she wrote on Instagram.

"If you're still wondering why deaf and hard of hearing people go to concerts follow these pages and learn something new. Seeing an interpreter at a concert shouldn't be shocking. Seeing a deaf interpreter on tour with every artist should be the norm!"
