- Thanks for joining We Ain’t Raised Right Podcast! AJ and Ogre have a rivalry as to who their favorite tenor is in Home Free. So naturally, when those found out that Both Rob and Austin stepped out of their comfort zone and did a Nessun Dorma, a opera song, they just had to react to it! We hope you enjoy their reaction to it as much as they enjoyed listening to and reacting to it!

Rob changes voices like a chameleon changes colors. Love your shock. We the people have been stalking reactors since this came out.😂
He has so many nicknames - Gospel Rob, Rappin' Rob, Opera Rob, Country Rob, probably a few others. He's the Swiss Army Knife of vocals.
@@thomasmacdiarmid8251 Oo, nice, with the " Swiss Army knife of vocals."
@@thomasmacdiarmid8251
Whistling Rob.
They LIED. They titled it "Two country singers TRY to sing Opera". No, no and no. These two Country singers KILLED IT singing Opera. 🙂
And yes, a number of people criticised their pronunciation and stuff. Well, I AM Italian, and their Italian was almost flawless. I know Italians that would have a far worse pronunciation than theirs. 🙂
I grew up with a melomaniac father. Listened to Opera since I couldn't even talk. And this was one of his, and mine, favorite "arias": it comes from Puccini's "Turandot", and one of the most famous interpreters of this aria was Luciano Pavarotti, who is from my birth town. Well, these two guys could sing this thing pretty much in any Opera context, and rank high enough. 🙂
I admit that the first time I watched this video I just cried... It moved me. 🥲
And it still does, so I still have wet eyes towards the end. 🙂
Loved your reaction. 🙂
Pretty much overlapped mine 😅.
Thanks, guys, see you next time!!
💗💗💗 Thank You for sharing your story 💗💗💗
The opera experts who reacted to this all loved it as a "very good as two guys who did not dedicate their whole lives to opera". They saved their professional criticisms for their own collegues and did not pull them out for this video. Also they knew if they sounded at all negative then hundreds of thousands of fans will rip them apart and may destroy their yt career.
@@anathardayaldar Oh yes, of course there are things that can be improved. 🙂
And of course this wasn't a live performance, I'm fully aware of this. 🙂
But believe me, they got it better than many "not first class" Opera singers... Who sometimes owe their successo to a "non specialised" audience (well, not anymore, at least 😁).
Especially considering that only Rob had Opera training (but at least 15 years before... and yet it's easy to see that he remembers how to do it), and Austin had only "classical training" (but not specifically Opera), I'd say that, had they pursued an Opera career, at least Rob would very likely have had one. Not as sure about Austin, he is naturally high but kinda lacks "power", but again, it would have affected him live (especially in an unplugged environment), and there are some legit opera singers that to me ain't much better than him and are quite famous. And they train for it every day...
I'm impressed by this "attempt to sing Opera". To me, they just DID it. 🙂
What a great comment, it added so much. Thank you!
They wanted Austin to train for opera when he was in college. But he stayed in theater music
#HOMEFREE...can sing anything!
The HF guys have been asked more than once who the best singer in the group is; without fail, everybody else immediately points at Rob. 😉 Now you know why!
Rob actually has a college degree in Vocal Performance with an emphasis/area in Opera. His voice teachers (one of whom I know personally) tried to talk him into going professional, but Rob felt he didn't have the discipline necessary and took a different route (and we are all SO blessed he did!). He did this aria for his Dad who hadn't heard him sing opera in 15 yrs and it brought him to tears. 😭
Austin turned out a very respectable performance, too! He has a lighter, more head resonant voice (where Rob's is more chest resonant). His college major was also Vocal Performance, but with an emphasis in Musical Theater. His vocals are more of a lyrical tenor style which makes his part sound more like a great "crossover". It's actually gaining in popularity amid younger opera lovers. Rob was trained in the classical style as a heroic/operatic tenor.
I know they were both nervous about how their fans would receive this. They shouldn't have worried! ❤🎶😳🤯 It hushed a few people who thought they were "just country singers" as if that's somehow a lesser accolade. Lol This performance proved their serious training and ability to sing whatever they choose! 😉👍
Trivia tidbit: Adam Rupp (vocal percussion/co-founder of HF) has a degree in Trumpet Performance! He also plays keyboard, drums, and bass guitar. He's adept at musical arrangement (when the holidays roll around, check out Home Free doing his arrangement of "Do You Hear What I Hear?" It'll blow your mind!). He has a naturally sweet high tenor voice and is a master at harmonizing anything! Tim, who impresses us with his 5 octave range, has pointed out that Adam probably has the widest range in the group! He can soar with gorgeous descant high notes and that "harmonica" he does is actually his voice, just distorted to create the sound effect! Then he can drop the bass freakishly low, as well. That guy isn't human! Lol
When God was handing out talent, these 5 guys snuck back into line a few times!! 🤯😉😁
I second the request for Do You Hear What I Hear.
Christmas music out of season drives me nuts, but HF's Do You Hear What I Hear sounds amazing even in September. I see no reason to wait. It's next-level stuff even for these guys. And I'll be seeing and hearing it live in December. 🙂
You stated the talent of Home Free very well. One of my favorites (I have many) of Home Free videos is, as you mentioned, "Do You Hear What I Hear?" Adam did an absolutely amazing job in that arrangement. The frozen scenery and imagery is incredible, also, in this video.
The GREATEST A-Capella Group
EVERRR!! Any song they sing is pure perfection!
Fun reaction guys!😂🎶
Pretty dang awesome though, huh, guys? Austin talked Rob into this, but Rob would only do it if Austin joined him. They practised in separate places, and when Austin heard Rob....he went back and worked on it some more. Great, huh?
Amazing!
Its like Austin really wanted to do this for the longest time, and finaly got a chance to. But he know he couldn't do it alone and convinced Rob to dust off his old past that he thought he left behind.
Then Rob said ok, but I'm not embarssing myself to the people who know what to listen for on the high notes. He knew how limited his operatic skills are because he has the knowledge and education to know better. (Reverse Dunning Krueger Effect). So he said to Austin YOU do that and I'll back you up on the lower notes. Rob will fill out the skills base so Austin can shine.
That not the way I heard it. Austin wanted Rob to do it. And he wouldn't unless Austin did it with him.
BTW.....have you seen Austin showing his "chops" when he is doing the song from "les Miserables"......called, "Bring Him Home".
Yes please, Bring Him Home, please, please 🥰
Waiiiiit! Austin sang Bring Him Home??????
He certainly did
@@joeonitproductions It is on his channel - go enjoy it!!
@@dotwyness4110 And he killed it!!
Your reaction is PRICELESS! How much do we love our boys!!!! Home Fry for life! 🤠🤠
YES!!! This dropping today was THE best surprise ever!! SO damn happy you two reacted to this!! I'm sure some of the Homefries have commented this already, but as the story goes, Rob was initially reluctant to do this. Austin had to convince him. After Rob was done with his recording, Austin was apparently so blown away by Rob's opera vocals that he went back and re-recorded his part. They absolutely KILLED this and your reactions just made this amazing performance that much better! AJ called it with the harmonization. As Ogre said, that's actually not normally done in Nessun Dorma, but it showed off their flawless blend and just WORKED!! And for not being opera fans, the appreciation you two showed for the sheer talent and skill on display here was awesome to see! Great job as always, guys!
Thank you!!!
Best reaction ❤
don’t know anyone who’s jaw didn’t hit the floor when listening to this ❤🏴
Amazing ain’t they ?
The Home Free guys are really supportive of each other and want to help each other show their talents.
Rob took opera hasn’t sung it in 15 years and Austin has Musical Theatre
You should hear Austin’s Bring Him Home ( Les Misérables) it’s amazing.
Very impressive! Did you see the sigh of relief from Austin at the end, take a look at his expression, lol. Rob looked like he owned it. Great reaction guys.
Thoroughly enjoyed your indoctrination into another aspect of what makes Home Free so darn good! Rob and Austin have provided their talents many times, in many ways, but this one has startled the most seasoned of their followers and fans. Keep digging through their huge, diverse catalog -- you will never be disappointed, and will often be surprised!
Austin has been trying to get Rob to sing Opera for awhile. The only way he would do it is if Austin would do it with him. Rob is Opera trained. And is a Tenor. Austin is classical trained. As in stage musicals And is High Tenor that's why Austin sings higher then Rob. Great reaction guys.
In their normal songs, I find that Austin's tenor parts can drown out Rob's lighter tenor. In this one, it is completely reversed. At the end, Rob's voice is just overpowering Austin's.
@@DRHHUBI believe Austin reined back his own voice because he really wanted to showcase Rob's abilities in this performance.
He had to talk Rob into doing this opera performance in the first place.
@@barbarakennedy2667 Rob wanted to be an opera singer. Austin couldn't drown out Rob in opera. He was trained in classical not even close to opera. But this was the only way that Rob would do it was for Austin to join him.
Evidently Austin heard Rob’s track and promptly recut his.
Austin decided to rerecord his part after he heard Rob's recording. I am always impressed by these two when I watch this.
Shock & awe guys, shock & awe😮
We Home Fries live for this type of reaction😊😊😊
"Ya think ya know a guy" - best comment ever😂😂
Austin comes from Musical Theater. He wanted to do this to show of Robs skills. It was certainly a surprise for everybody.
Whenever anyone asks The Guys whom is the best singer, they always instantly say Rob! 😂. Completely loved you guys reaction! 😂❤❤❤❤
Your expressions when you saw them in the suits was awesome, but your expressions when Rob started singing was priceless! These two did a fabulous job, and I adored your reactions! Thank you.
Thank you!
After playing lead in several of his high school productions, Brown went on to pursue a degree in music theater. His first post-college gig was singing on cruise ships, which sent him around the world - but more importantly, led him to Home Free. In 2022, two members of the a capella group Home Free, Austin Brown and Rob Lundquist, did the same. Rob studied opera in his college years, but had not sung opera for fifteen years. Austin, who studied musical theater in college, talked Rob into giving the operatic aria a try, although Rob said he’d do it only if Austin performed with him. This is the result
All guys in Home Free have various music degrees. I think Rob trained in opera for about 10 years. They both did so awesome! Loved yalls faces!
This has been a fav for a long time. Rob was so nervous to let this out and every one has been so blown away. Austin said when he heard Rob's part, he had to re-record and up his game. Now, you want to see Austin's training in full display. Try his version of "Bring Him Home" from Le Mis.
When we asked them if they planned any more opera,both at that time said NO. A shame.
The boys are singers, period. Anything they had the inclination, time, and training for they could do. That opera singing take decades of training and experience to prefect as it is so specialized and you have no leeway for individually, opera singers are judged on how closely the come to the "standards" of how opera is "supposed to be sung." Rob sounded great and Austin was surprisingly good. Austin did a song on his channel that is perhaps his best performance to date, in my opinion, Check out Austin Brown "Bring Him Home" you won't regret it if you want to see Austin bring his A Game.
Y'all (especially AJ!) have been Rob-smacked! Excellent reaction.
And I second the suggestions for Austin's Bring Him Home and HF'S Do You Hear What I Hear.
These guys, and I mean all of Home Free, can sing anything. ANYTHING!! I bet they could sing the phone book and it would be epic.
Really enjoyed your reactions to this. I've watched this several times and seen several reactors who are opera singers react to this who have followed them on Home Free and were just as amazed as you guys were. I am not a big opera fan either but have come to love this piece sung by Rob and Austin. I especially enjoy watching how surprised Home Free fans are hearing Rob and Austin "try" to sing opera. Home Fries have always said that they can sing any genre of music and this proves it. Looking forward to your next reaction.
It makes me cry every time I hear them sing this! Great reaction!
Home Free is like a box of chocolates…. you never know what you’re gonna get! 😮 Really enjoyed your reactions. ❤❤❤
Thank you
The eye widening 🤣🤣🤣🤣
It is fitting that AJ likes Rob as he is from Minnesota and a big fan of the Vikings 😊
Fantastic reaction. I enjoyed seeing your totally shocked faces.
Rob is a dramatic tenor, richer with a lot of depth. Austin is a lyric tenor, lighter soaring. My dad had a degree in vocal performance and sang mostly oratorio and opera. He was a lyric, transitioned into dramatic when he was in his 70s, but never lost that soaring quality. His last professional performance was at 92.
You said it this is Austin's channel and this is his way of highlighting Rob's talent.
U go Rob and Austin!!! The talent from HF is unmatched!
Your faces were priceless 🤣😂
Great reaction! This just shows how talented and versatile Home Free is.
Rob was trained in opera in college, and Austin was trained in musical theatre.
Every reaction I have seen from professional singers, especially trained in opera, all commented immediately that it was very obvious Rob had opera training.
A great reaction to Austin is 'Bring Him Home' from Les Miserable. It's on his channel. Broadway is Austin's wheelhouse.
Tim's channel is amazing where he shows his 5 octave range.
The talent of the guys on Home Free is amazing!
OMG....this was by far...the best reaction to this video I've seen yet...the look on your faces at the beginning was priceless! This just shows...there is absolutely nothing these guys cant sing!
When this first came out, I didn’t pay much attention, waited about a week to watch it only after EVERYBODY was recommending it. I’ve been a Home Fry for years. I was shocked. They had me crying by the end. Those guys just cannot make bad music of any kind. Great reaction! 😊
buahahaha, just after you did a reaction on Diana doing quasy opera performance all of sudden you get these guys, brilliant!😁
This was Pavoratti’s signature aria. It was Austin’s idea getting Rob to sing opera…but, he’d only do it….if Austin sang With him 🙃‼️💗…. &, they really did pretty darned well …. Loved it 💗🙃💗‼️… Austin trained in musical theatre…just a small amount of opera in uni.
They need to do more opera - they are superb.
Rob most definitely has a talented Opera voice, and Austin is no slacker. Yes, Austin asked Rob to do this. Rob was hesitant, as he had not sung opera in over a decade. He was also worried about how it would go over with the fans. Well, no worries, as it was a SMASH HIT! Most Home Fries had the same look on their faces that both of you had. Astonished! My first reaction was (besides picking my chin up off the ground); "Say what?"
Rob was trained in opera 😊❤
Hearing this for the first time when it came out, it made me rethink many of my life choices lol and question deep-seated beliefs! I have never, however, doubted the talent that is contained within Home Free!
It wasn't until the very last time they sang together that they harmonized. The first two times they were singing in unison.
Loved your shocked reaction guys. This came out a year ago this month and all of us Home Fries pretty much reacted pretty much as you did in your reaction. I never get tired of watching this video. These guys are just so talented.
Hehe, yall had THAT face! Love it!
Great job, guys! Fun to see your reaction.
Rob seriously blew my mind with this! They sound fantastic but I just couldn't get past Rob's voice to absorb it all, lol. I've watched this probably a hundred times cause it's just so good. Amazing! ❤
Remarkable effort on their part. Appreciate the work Rob and Austin put into this project.
You have to realize that the boys from Home Free are very adaptable.
If you haven't already check out Austin's cover of Bring him Home
Yes please!
Thanks
I still applaud and yell BRAVO! Rob is classic trained in opera, Austin trained in theater. Rob's dad cried when he did this.
Second best reaction I've seen to this video. Your expressions were priceless lol. The best reaction was from a Italian opera singer/reactor who said she not only forgot they weren't opera singers but she forgot they weren't Italian. Rob's vocal coach said he could have a HUGE career in opera. Thank God he joined Home Free!!!!
Every since they, release this video, I have seen the same face of surprise, enjoyment, amazement and gents you didn't let me down. Nice reaction 🖖🏾👊🏾
Austin trained in musical theatre. Rob received opera training. It shows on both of them.
This broke everyone and you guys did not disappoint. Great job guys
This is total shock n’ awe! I wish your two missing buds could have been in on it. Maybe a repeat?
We did it purposely just the two of us because we are the fans playfully fighting over who we think the better tenor is.
Austin after hearing Rob did his part over.
Love Home Free. Loved your reaction. Subscribed.
You got it, AJ!
This reaction was so much fun to watch!!
Your reaction to this was priceless.
In an interview with Patrol Gaming, Austin said that he'd really wanted to show off "opera Rob"; however, Rob said he wouldn't unless Austin sang it with him. Austin went on to say he thought he'd been okay but that Rob was fantastic. I love the way they support each other. They're both classically trained but Rob was extensively trained in opera (Austin had training in it; however, his degree is in Musical Theater).
Nessun Dorma is an aria from Puccini's opera "Turandot" (it's in Italian, an English translation is available on the 'net).
I love you guys! What a great reaction! Thanks for doing this.
Thanks for watching!
Austin is frequently identified as the "high tenor" and Rob is usually called the "lead tenor" or just "tenor"
Opera singers reacting to themselves must be a thing. Peter Barber does the same thing when he sings with The Bass Gang. You should check out The Bass Gang with Tim Foust from Home Free, Hooked on a Feeling.
They Sound Amazing ❤
Great reaction to a great performance!
I'm wondering WHY you guys haven't popped up in my recommended before now (for Home Free!)!?! And YES, we were/are ALL taken-aback by these 2 KILLING IT!!!! And STILL - So Damn Good!!! ---- YES, Elizabeth (The Charismatic Voice) is amazing .......... and have you watched any of her performances??? She is REALLY something to APPRECIATE ... You would NOT believe the POWER that comes from that woman!!!! (I'm Country btw, always have been) : ) Be Safe
Thank you!
Such a treat! But seriously, Rob sounds like a different artist than we hear when he sings with Home Free!
I don't care for opera, but these two "tried" and did what I didn't expect--they made me want to watch it over and over again. Who knew? 🤭
Now you see how talented these guys are. Austin is a "high tenor". While Rob is a tenor.
Peter Barber is a fellow reactor and he's also done interviews with Geoff and Tim on his channel. He does reactions and analyses of videos, many of them from Home Free and VoicePlay. He's a professional opera singer and is also a member of a four-man group called The Bass Gang. They invited Tim Foust to join them for an a cappella rendition of Hooked On a Feeling, last made public in the movie Guardians of the Galaxy. Peter hadn't seen the finished product when he did a reaction/analysis of it. That one is so fun to watch and the music video itself is a total treasure. It's a total hoot that, at that point the 4 members of The Bass Gang had never met face to face. They'd send their part of a video to their arranger from the Czech Republic, Egypt, and 2 US states. They are fantastic!
EXACTLY!!!😂😂❤❤❤❤
This was so very awesome. Rob and Austin killed this! Love your reactions!
I've said it before home free can sing ANY genre!!! great reaction gentlemen! 😍
From what I've read, Austin wanted Rob to sing this song, and Rob agreed only if Austin would do it with him.
They were so good. You are right, Rob studied opera in college but that was years ago. He’s a tenor and was so good. Austin has Musical theater training but was also good. He would be considered a lyric tenor. They clean up nice don’t they?! Great reaction boys!😍
Your reaction to this was everything! Rob and Austin killed it!
You will see fans say "Oh, there's Opera Rob!" at different times. His training allows him to be incredibly versatile. The Adam Chance-written original for the video game "Skull & Bones" also takes advantage of all of their respective talents in some new ways.
Rob is quite clear: this will not be performed live at a Home Free concert. The warmups for it are antithetical to performing country acapella. He enjoyed it greatly, and there may be more like it in the future, but he doesn't see returning to opera on any regular basis.
Also, have to give a shoutout to to Steven Martinez, who provided all of the instrumental.
(I feel like Austin looks like he should be playing Don Giovanni in the Mozart opera)
Skull and Bones is on our list!
I have listened to these guys sing in Home Free several times and despite the horrible Country genre was able to recognize that they were great vocalists. But this... 😍😍😍😍 OMG, this was so amazing. I had no idea that they were this great.
Some of the best Metal vocalists practise opera or are classically trained.🌹🌹❤️🔥🌹🌹Dan Vasc being one of them. The lead singer in Nightwish is the same.
LOL🥹🤣😂🤣 You guys are so hilarious.🤣😂😎😂🤣
Thank you for this.🤘❤️🤘
🥰🥰🥰Hugs from Canada🇨🇦
Same for Dan Vasc, he is a metal singer and clearly knows how to sing opera. He does Nessun Dorma as well
David Draiman, Sound Of Silence as well
@@annelieshoornikLOL. I did not check for replies but decided to change my comment because they reacted to Dan.🤣😂You must have sent psychic vibes😂🤣😂
@@Rkbmomma You are so correct. 40 years ago I thought that about Metal and Opera too.❤️
@@dotwyness4110 The best cover of Sound of Silence, that I've never heard, was by Marcel Marceau...
They are so talented ❤
They never quit surprising us!! Love this and live your reaction!! ❤
Thank you so much!!
Lord your faces say it all! I also love Elizabeth in the Charismatic Voice. I watched Peter Barber's analysis. My first opera was when I was 16 and in Rome. They were doing Aida staged in the ruins of the Roman Baths. Stage was large enough for 2 horse-drawn chariots to run around. I had no idea what the translation was, but I did tuck that treasure into my brain and I still appreciate opera and more especially operettas.
In English -
None shall sleep,
None shall sleep!
Even you, oh Princess,
In your cold room,
Watch the stars,
That tremble with love
And with hope.
But my secret is hidden within me,
My name no one shall know,
No... no...
On your mouth, I will tell it,
When the light shines.
And my kiss will dissolve
the silence that makes you mine!
(No one will know his name
and we must, alas, die.)
Vanish, o night!
Set, stars! Set, stars!
At dawn, I will win!
I will win!
I will win!
In fact, Austin's college training included the same training and auditions for the college shows as the opera kids. This was not the first time he sang opera. He was asked to study opera, presumably because his teachers recognised that in the modern opera world a voice like his was worth a fortune - an opinion echoed by a reactor with a great deal of experience in the field of opera. The difference between Rob's and Austin's voices has absolutely nothing to do with training but with the basic physiology of their vocal organs. With further training, Austin still wouldn't be operating with the fully dropped larynx that Rob employs but would remain a brilliant lyric tenor with a great incisive edge to the voice.
Rob has a lovely voice but of a type for which there is less demand these days, as it's not so useful for the range of music a singer would expect to cover. The Italian operas for which such voices were produced are less popular now, and for most modern composers they sound too "produced" for contemporary music. Lyric tenors also have more openings in classical song (very popular in the UK) and oratorio, and can move into musicals.
Btw Austin is the high tenor of Home Free. Not sure where you got the idea that Rob is normally singing higher.
the late, great Pavarotti ( R.I.P.) says....."you better sing, boys!" -- btw Nessun Dorma means "no one sleeps" and this aria is sung by all the great and near great operatic vocalists.......originally composed for one male voice, though female artists have also sung this beautiful piece of music........
Amazing! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is wow, wow and again wow. It is insane and extremely good. Fantastic. Both are doing great.
But Rob, I'm perplexed. His voice is just magical and so rich Chills just ran through my body. It flows into my heart. He will be able to stand with the greatest of opera singers. It's not often that I listen to songs by opera singers 5 times and more in a row. But here it is. Of course I hope that both will always continue to do Home Free, but I wouldn't think it wrong that such "trips" are made more often. Opera, country, ballads, soul etc. I think anything is possible..
This is the very best review I’ve seen of this! You guys are fantastic. If you go back and listen to HF’s Skull and Bones, Rob and Austin smash it by going off into operatic mode in the backgrounds.
The depth of Rob’s voice in this was a surprise to most of this.
Austin still sounds like Austin. Which is beautiful.
But Rob! This is Opera Rob!!! You can hear hints in some HF live performances. Most notably in their live performance of “Skull and Bones”. Who knew.
I’m glad you guys checked it out. Your reaction is a reflection of many of ours.
Rob is university classically/operatically trained. It had just been 15 years since he had sung in that genera.
Austin is university theatrically trained. So they both have vocal training from a university.
Same with the great Basso Profundo, Avi Kaplan, formerly the bass for Pentatonix.
He had recently graduated with a vocal degree from a university in California. He had already received a letter of intent to hire him as their Principle Bass from the L.A. Opera House when he got a call from Scott Hoying needing a bass for a new A Capella group forming for the NBC A Capella sing off. Avi had to make a spur of the moment decision and chose the newly forming group or Opera. He chose the new group. He remained with Pentatonix for 6 years before beginning his solo career.
He now writes and sings Americana/Folk, Country and Western music.

You never know what someone's musical training background is.
Austin is a Counter Tenor. He can go really high
I had to watch your reactions twice!
It’s like AJ said you think you know a guy!! Talent in spades 😊
😁
Great reaction! I just subscribed. Looking forward to more Home Free from you. I had to watch this Aria multiple times to make sure I was actually hearing what i thought i was.
Thanks for subbing! We have some other HF reaction videos currently on our channel and we intend to do more!
😅 that was an awesome reaction ❤❤ there's nothing they can't do
Austin talked Rob into doing this.
SURPRISE !! This is so great..Robs the one who has had some training in Opera and Austin had Theatrical training. It’s not too often, but at times when two people are singing together to, take a queue, as you say from one another so they stay in unison with each other. That’s what Austin did. That’s a really hard Opera to sing alone, much less to sing in a duet.
I heard that Austin when he heard the track with Rob, went back and redid his part. Great reaction.
Thank you!
I say there's no try about it, they DID it. These notes and octaves don't hurt my ears. Very smooth. Loved your reactions guys.
