Well-Known Sign Language Interpreter Steals the Show Again

For those of you who don’t know her, Kelly Kurdi is one of the most renowned sign language interpreters. She’s been featured in plenty of concerts all over the USA, stealing the show everywhere she goes. Most recently, the interpreter became the center of attention for her performance of Sir Mix-a-Lot’s “Baby Got Back”. The video of her performance went viral all over social media.

The Sign Language Version of “Baby Got Back”

The viral clip shows the sign language interpreter signing “Baby Got Back” on a cruise ship. The whole performance, incredibly detailed and informative, is not just helpful for deaf people attending the event but is also tremendously entertaining for the entire audience.

Even people who aren’t versed in the language recognized many of Kelly’s moves, especially her ‘shake it’ and ‘butt’ signs. The video got a whopping 1.2 million likes on TikTok.

The sign language interpreter’s performance was amazing, no two words about it. Still, seeing interpreters at concerts and tours hasn’t yet caught on. Kelly has commented on the matter, just like many people in the online world. They believe interpreters at rap concerts and other events should become the new normal.

Kelly’s Cardi B Performance

Kelly Kurdi first became viral for her sign language skills at a music festival in Lollapalooza. There, she interpreted Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s performance of their song of the year, “W.A.P.”

While the audience had generally gathered to see the two rappers perform, those close to the stage were far more interested in Kelly’s interpretation. The song was surely popular, but the sign language version skyrocketed. The reason – Kelly’s version was just as filthy as the original.

On her Instagram page, the interpreter thanked everyone who showed her so much attention, saying she loved her job as a freelance interpreter because it allowed her to take part in providing access to the deaf community at such music events.
