Here at JoshKrajcik.us, we scour the web to find and bring you all the best Josh Krajcik related content. Since last night’s Final 11 performance, a lot of online reviews have been written. Lots has been said about what a great performance Josh delivered last night. We all agree he pretty much hit Joe Cocker out of the park! One thing we didn’t see mentioned in any of the online articles was Josh’s use of American Sign Language last night after the judges comments. Here, check it out. We pulled this images from the recording of last night show.
Josh shared his amazing voice with the world and then let his fingers do the talking by fingerspelling the words VOTE JOSH to his fans across the globe. According to lifeprint.com:
Fingerspelling is the process of spelling out words by using signs that correspond to the letters of the word. An ASL user would use the American Fingerspelled Alphabet, (also called the American Manual Alphabet). There are many different manual alphabets throughout the world.
The American Fingerspelled Alphabet consists of 22 handshapes that–when held in certain positions and/or are produced with certain movements– represent the 26 letters of the American alphabet.
You’ve always known that Josh can sing like a beast, but it wasn’t until last night that the world found out he could sign too.
This is the best news yet, I hate reading anything negative, especially hate the comments on looks, This is a contest for musical talent, not beauty, although he is truly a rocker boy top to toe.I am an older fan, just love music and his voice,but this might be too much for my heart!I always set the DVR, mute the sound, watch for Josh, listen to Josh and then turn off show. Then I keep for later viewing. I loved the signing, although I could not read it! Clever Josh!
I personally love Josh’s look. Josh looks like what he is a blues/rock combination, accustomed to dark small bars filled with heavy duty party people OR music aficionados who find a diamond in the rough in select bars. There are lots of those bars in Austin, home of the great Stevie Ray Vaughn. Josh shares a lot of qualities of Stevie Ray. Josh shares qualities with a many great artists, but he has rolled the talent of many into one rugged, beastly persona. UNLEASH THE BEAST! We’ll be better for it!
I think Josh is perfect the way he is. He is who he is and I hope fame doesn’t change him. I will buy his cd when it comes out. Because it will come out no mater what the results are on the X Factor. He has a phenomenal voice and I especially love his facial expressions! Love you, Josh! Sing your heart out!
the signing was frosting on the cake ,, and I bet Anyone ,, there is more to Josh Krajcik then we never know ,, and mostly good , that signiong out weighs alot of any bad ..
We love Josh’s voice, but seeing him do this last week and this… melted our hearts! What an amazing young man, I hope he continues to do this well!
Love Josh and with his facial expressions, use of sign language,(he also thanked the judges in sign at very end) makes me wonder if he is a native signer with deaf family? Facial expressions are a huge part of American Sign Language.. Good Luck Josh, love ya!!
Josh is a rocker and he looks the part. He sings like an angel, grunts and growls like a bad boy, and belts out blues and rock. I am not familiar with rock but I know a great performer when I see one. I look forward to seeing him each week. He had a daughter when he was just a child himself, but winning this will give him the means to make life better for his family. Rock on!
‘OMG! I love you more after that’.. It was what I said when I saw you doing the ASL!!!!! I work with this in here, in my country.. Brazil! I’m a Translator/Interpreter of the Brazilian Sign Language (in here calls LIBRAS)! OMG! I really love you more!!! Why you did that?????? Answer me, PLEASE!!! *-*
While it’s true Josh is way talented with an awesome voice, might I point out that the people who use American Sign Language are deaf or very close to it, and are therefore not very likely to be watching a musical tallent show.
Let me rephrase… The people who NEED to use American Sign Language…
There are people who are hard of hearing that use ASL. With hearing aids they can hear and enjoy the music:) when he signs, it also reaches out to them as well
Josh is a great singer my wife and i have listen to him hundreds of time number one song he sang at last,he needs a cd
out.
And the world also learned of how much talent he really has when he played the piano while singing. This guy is the real deal. LOVE him. Can’t wait for his CD!
His facial expressions while singing are also pretty entertaining. Even if I couldn’t hear, I would still feel the emotion of his performance.
It was awesome for him to reach out through ASL, says alot about him as an artist and a person ..he wants no one left out of Voting for him #krajcikMagic
OMG, I thought it was the phone number he was signing,duh. To me that speaks volumes of his character. I know Wooster is on cloud 9, I live in Columbus but from a small town also (Jackson) when its one of your own its the best feeling to have. What a great artist and super person he is. He has got to win!
I’m not sure what Krajcik’s personal motivation for signing is, but I am sure that most people, including hard of hearing and non hearing enjoy music on one level or another. This idea was depicted beautifully in “Mr Holland’s Opus” (a performance was put on at a school for the deaf.)I for one,am intrigued as to whether or not Krajcik has a personal connection with ASL or is just being his own corky self.
@ Thalia I think I heard that he signs because he had a friend who was hard of hearing and they worked together at a noisey factory so thats how they all communicated.
