This is a normal post Yes, the woman listening to the song and signing along to it is definitely deaf.
This is clearly a sign language presentation. I assume some sort of college course. Props to the teacher allowing this.

The girl *listening* and signing is deaf?

Shirley people who sign along to things are normally not deaf? I'd have thought that her dancing to the music and knowing what and when to sign would have meant that she wasn't deaf..

This is a normal post She is hearing
so she is listening. Although some Deaf people who use sign language do have some useful hearing so can follow a beat and stuff.
Lots of deaf people perform signed songs. They interpret the lyrics and learn the rhythm, pace and feel of the music. So can match the song perfectly well when performing.

Not sure the audience are deaf. Deaf people don't laugh, as it is sound related, instead they make a "jazz hands" like sign. Apparently is really odd if you are doing stand up comedy through a translator...

Laughter is an involuntary response, you twat. They don't applaud, instead doing the jazz hands thing.

This is a normal post Click thru to the video itself on youtube.
The signer posted the video with this note

"My name is Anna and this is my final for a college level sign language class. I am not deaf and still learning sign language and encourage others to learn sign language as well! Thank you so much for all the love"

And she's pretty good at it. Cute too...
