Eurovision Sign Language Interpreter Is A Web Hit

VIDEO: Deaf News: Sweden's Eurovision finalist was chosen at the weekend but for many it was the bespectacled 48-year-old who signed the songs for Deaf people who stole the show.



STOCKHOLM -- Sweden's Tommy Krangh's silky dance moves quickly became a huge hit on social media with millions watching his video on Facebook and YouTube.



It takes a lot to steal the show from the notoriously flamboyant Eurovision entries, but this Swedish sign language interpreter's energetic moves and expressive gestures have managed to do just that.



Tommy Krångh has become an overnight sensation in Sweden after putting on the performance of his life, interpreting pop singer Magnus Carlsson's attempt to enter Eurovision.

But while Carlsson's upbeat tune may have failed to impress audiences in the Scandinavian country, being voted ninth out of 12 entries vying to represent at the annual competition, many are now calling for 48-year-old Krångh to take the stage for Sweden in Vienna this May.



The video of Krångh's exuberant interpretation has been shared thousands of times in Sweden, and across the world.



The delighted interpreter has told Swedish newspapers he was 'thrilled' with the reaction and has been 'love-bombed' on Twitter by people who enjoyed his energetic performance, even getting the odd marriage proposal.



'It´s been absolutely amazing,' he told MailOnline. 'I´ve been love-bombed from a thousands of people. People are even proposing to marry me. This is something I could never imagine.



'It's a once in lifetime experience after being a signer for so many years. I love that sign language gets so much attention at the moment.' ... Read More at Dailymail.

Zur weltweit 1. Deaf Tattoo Convention trafen sich vom 18. bis 20.Januar 2013 zwölf internationale gehörlose Tätowierer in Berlin-Weißensee. Von der Convention berichtet Tattoomodel Mel Riot.



Es war toll, die Convention zu besuchen. Wir haben einiges gelernt und neue Erfahrungen gemacht. Zum Beispiel, das es nicht "Taubstumm", sondern "Gehörlos" heißt. Die Anmoderation haben wir ganz am Anfang gedreht und leider vergessen, es noch einmal zu wiederholen. Aber so erfahren wenigstens noch mehr Zuschauer, wie es richtig heißt. Danke auch an die Veranstalter, es war cool bei Euch!



Die 2. Deaf Tattoo Convention wird übrigens im September 2014 in Paris stattfinden.

Lengua de Señas Chilena, Puré de Papas / Nerven&Zellen.

Tercer video clip, de nuestro proyecto NZcanal. Canción Puré de Papas, interpretada por Cecilia la Incomparable. canción original de David Appell & Kal Mann.

The project consists of the translation (if necessary) of the artists lyrics national, international, current and legends, then adapt under the syntax of sign language, to finally perform the song in that language with the development of a new video clip, under the concepts of our collective aesthetic Nerven & Zellen: http://www.nervenzellen.cl



As Deaf people may have a closeness with lyrics and musical styles of each artist can also add new words to their vocabulary through the subtitle system. Moreover, hearing people may associate words and signs to become familiar with this language.



In a near future we hope to have a wide range of musical styles that can give life to this channel
