Following the Super Bowl LVII halftime show, fans were wowed by sign language interpreter Justina Miles' energetic interpretation of Rihanna's lyrics into American Sign language, and she quickly went viral online.
Miles is no stranger to doing ASL interpretations during live performances and has performed at various concerts. She not only performed during the halftime show at the Super Bowl, but she also performed during"Lift Every Voice and Sing," also known as the Black National Anthem, performed by Sheryl Lee Ralph during the pregame.
Deaf performers Colin Denny, Troy Kotsur and Justina Miles are interviewed during the Super Bowl LVII Apple Music Halftime Show press conference held at the Phoenix Convention Center on Feb. 9, 2023. "I was on the fence for about two weeks and then I learned that it was my hometown that was hosting the Super Bowl, so I said, 'Hell yes, I'm in,'"
."It's really a big deal for me. I feel extremely honored to be here in my hometown. How could I turn it down?" The title,"CODA," is an acronym for Child of Deaf Adults. Kotsur and Marlee Matlin, the first Deaf person to ever win an Oscar in 1987, play the parents of a hearing teenager, who is her Deaf family's link to the hearing world.
Another Arizona native, Colin Denny, performed the interpretation as Babyface sang"America the Beautiful," during the pregame. Denny, a Deaf Native American from Navajo Nation in Arizona, used a blend of ASL and North American Indian Sign Language, according to NAD. He is currently a research assistant studying North American Indian Sign Language at the University of Arizona.
All of the ASL interpreters' performances were live-streamed by Fox on YouTube during the Super Bowl,
