Unsurprisingly, it has also already become a popular subject for many covers and [parodies](http://time.com/4084903/adele-hello-lionel-richie-mashup/). But this sign language interpretation stands out from the rest. The version was performed by American Sign Language (ASL) interpreter [Molly Lou Bartholomew](https://www.facebook.com/MBartholomewASL?%5Frdr=p) and is a stunning example of the emotion that can be conveyed through signing. Bartholomew’s [YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChfiUUnjgtd8cOyMj9C3b8w) is full of sign language interpretations of popular songs such as Taylor Swift’s “[Shake It Off](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bf2FK-VM-7c)” and John Legend’s “[All of Me](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4K3gyxwvrQ)” “I have dedicated this channel to my number one passion in life, artistic/theatrical interpreting in ASL,” she writes on YouTube. “I have worked very hard on keeping these songs as conceptually accurate as possible.” See the full clip below: Adele's 'Hello': Sign Language Version ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4101720/adele-hello-sign-language-version/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4101720/adele-hello-sign-language-version/"},"headline":"Watch a Beautiful Sign Language Version of Adele's 'Hello'","datePublished":"2015-11-05T20:00:30.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:26:39.300Z","description":"It is a stunning example of the emotion that can be conveyed through signing","url":"https://time.com/4101720/adele-hello-sign-language-version/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Music","Taylor Swift","covers","Adele","john legend","shake it off"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4101720/adele-hello-sign-language-version/","name":"Watch a Beautiful Sign Language Version of Adele's 'Hello'"}}]}] ```
