I want to introduce you to three very talented women.
Please welcome Holly Maniani.
That's Holly.
-And Jo Rose Benfield. -(audience cheers)
And Amber Gallego.
Each of these women is a nationally certified sign language interpreter,
and even more importantly, they have fun with it.
Thank you for being here.
Now, collectively, they've signed for The Wu Tang Clan,
Beastie Boys. Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Lil' Wayne and many more.
But tonight you're not doing this alone.
Tonight, this is a competition.
Tonight, each of you will take turns signing the song Black and Yellow
and it is time now for a sign language rap battle!
Let's do this!
(audience cheers)
Tonight's "interpretee", Wiz Khalifa, come on out!
(audience cheers)
Thanks for being here.
Ladies and gentlemen.
I should ask first, have you been a part
of a sign language rap battle before?
Yeah. No. Yeah. Sure.
(everyone laughs)
Will you clean up the lyrics for this particular event?
-No. -(Jimmy) You will not, okay. Good.
(laughs) That's perfect.
-Are you ready, Wiz? -Sure.
Are you ready, ladies?
We're ready!
Alright, you're gonna go one at a time.
You're gonna compete, it's gonna be great.
I'll leave it to you guys.
Holly, step forward. You are first.
Wiz, take it away! Here we go!
