It's never too late to watch the Sing Off champs again! I was hooked on Home Free when this aired in 2013, and have never gotten bored with their progress over this last decade. Thank you for sewing all these episodes together, and for including the intros and judges comments. Loved your compilation and your comments. It's great fun to know that you have become one of their greatest fans and promoters. Thanks again!
I enjoyed so very much being here with you with you giving your musical attention, your quiet appreciation ( no yelling) with very few interruptions and Never butting in on a phrase. I appreciate your genuineness. I have an idea you will always be real, which, gee whiz, may open me to really listening to other genres you choose to react/respond to. I see this was done 4 years ago! But still, I''ll check you out. Thank you.
I just want to say thank you for putting this together. I've not seen The Sing Off, I am a BIG FAN of Home Free. I'm not sure if I would have seen all their performance if I hadn't seen this. Thank you once again.
Really love Home Free and the songs they pick to sing. Each one has their own way! Also, love SoryTime with Tim. He is a great Bass Singer as Wei a great Story Teller.They are Funny too. So happy to see them on Sing Off.and all they do. Big Fan here.
Thank you soooo much for doing their entire Sing Off journey! It’s awesome to see your reaction to where they came from and enjoying their talent and personalities!
Thank you so much for covering all of this - I've seen some of the individual vids, but it was great to see the whole progress in one go. I've only been a Home Fry for a few months, but it's great to share the joy in their music with others from all around the world.
I am so glad you went back to see where their story started. It also gives you a little glimpse of their laid back personalities. These guys are so down to earth and approachable. They meet with their fans after almost every concert to sign what ever they want, or just to say hello, even though you know they must be so tired. I've seen them on the streets and in restaurants, and when I gave them a hello, they would always wave and shout a hello back, and do it with a smile. During their concerts, they like to banter with the audience, and they even get them to do a sing along. Great guys, and very tall, too. Their heights range from 6' 1/2" to 6'4" Thank you so, so much for doing this. I love your reactions, and always look forward to seeing what one you'll be doing next.
And it doesn't matter where in the touring schedule they are or the time of night, they are energetic and great. From the first song until the encore. Then within minutes coming out and signing merchandise. I made my friend stand in line to get their signatures (I did so last year). She told me she was so awe struck that she didn't know what to say and then Tim said "thanks for coming" in that deep voice. She was melting (still) when she got out of line and came and got me.
Home free had been touring together for years by the time they came on the Sing Off, and it showed. Their craft and ensemble had this maturity to it. But they said they had been feeling like they were in a rut for a while, and being on the Sing Off made doing what they do exciting again. It's great to see how much fun they had in that first performance, and see them receiving the appreciation they well deserved.
I love Home Free. The reason why I even got the privilege of knowing about them is partly because of Pentatonix. The were a part of a petition to bring back The Sing Off for another season. The network cancelled it after season 3 but they brought it back because of fans petition. PTX really put it out there for this show. It was brought back as part of a Christmas special. Hence why less episodes and less money.
I'm so glad you did this.....I just love your reactions! These videos give you a great look at how they started out and how far they've come! I have watched this many times and it never gets oldl
I have listened to the "Colder Weather" performance about 100 times, and I have NEVER heard where Rob's pitch changed! I think that the judges were so complimentary towards them during the entire season, that they had to find something negative to say!
Agree to disagree. The judges especially Shawn Stockman (Boyz II Men). Why? He recognizes tight harmonies. He heard it as well as I he slightly scooped when he entered trying to find the note. That's not just me but Stockman. I saw it live & heard it live and agreed. It was a quick recovery with both of them finding each other. It can happen with nerves.
Chris Rupp, who started Home Free and kept it going for YEARS, left the group about 2 1/2 years ago to pursue solo opportunities and also sing with his sister in another band (talented family). HF now had Adam Chance (called Chance to avoid confusion with Adam Rupp). You will notice when reacting to videos that those two might switch out depending on how far back the video was. Tim has the lower notes and even taught Avi how to sing lower. There are indeed “Bass battle” videos out there comparing those two and other a cappella basses. These guys just keep getting better. The Sing Off really did propel them forward. They will be releasing a new CD in maybe June and a recent article I read said they believe there will be radio releases from this new one. They have worked so hard for years. It’s great being able to see them getting the wheels turning. They are just getting started. The rapper NF has a line in one of his songs, “The artist you hear, you keep thinking they’re new, but that artist has probably been at it for years!” True words. (Also, if you like rap, you should check NF out. No swearing. Maybe check out “Remember This”).
This was great.. so glad that you went back to watch the Home Free journey! I have seen these before and this was when I became an addict … Home Free, coffee and Chocolate.. Now that's a trio.. Love your reactions. Thanks so much for doing this!
What a great reaction video! Watched The Sing-Off from the beginning but was so nice to see all the performances all together. So Thank You! Keep at it.
I hadn't heard if Sony dropped them like they did Penatonix, they got dropped the week after they won (Sony didn't think there would be big enough appeal for a capella) Everything they did they did for themselves until RCA picked them up. Good luck to Home Free!
Loved this video and it brought back great memories as I watched it week by week when it first was broadcasted. Still love these guys. Love their humor and their wonderful voices and blend of their close harmony. Thanks for bringing back those memories. This is 2021 and they just keep getting better and better.
This was fun. Entertaining to watch you watch what I had already seen several times. I'm sure you appreciated the bass and high tenor as your reactions showed. The beatboxing is beyond amazing.But something you probably did not notice, that is something a gal may be more likely to notice is that the two country boys, Tim and Austin blush when they are given compliments, especially from Jewel. Also, you may not have noticed one more thing ---- which is really evident from photos of them with fans on tour --- they all wear cowboy boots most of the time, and when you add that extra couple of inches to their heights, they are a group of guys that clock in at over 6'3" and then some. They are ALL well over 6' 1 1/2" but I think Tim is 6'3" without the boots. They are a big-ass bunch of country boys. Glad you enjoyed my guys. They just came back from 10 days in Australia. Hope you catch them live on their tour next year.
That note at the end of Ring of Fire is a G1 (49 Hz) on the lip-synched fireside version, an F#1 (46 Hz) on this. Makes a big difference to me because the lower end of my hearing is about 40 Hz. The note on this one, in headphones, I can partly hear it but partly just feel it as pressure.
Wooo Whooo! This is awesome! I so glad you did this too. It really helps to see where they came from and how the Sing Off really upped their game. I'm pretty sure Tim has a lower register than Avi although both will blow speakers. I love that they are not a copy cat acapella group. They have a lot of humor and they stick to their country roots. Great reaction!
Thanks Love this so much must have watched it dozens of times 😉 Super Talented Guys!! Tim has the lowest range and widest range vs Avi, they are good friends and Tim helped him with his range 😉😍❤️✌🏻
This was fun. It's been a while since I went back to watch these. Tim has the wider range, and the deeper low note. It's really amazing how long he can extend them too.
@Granypanies Absolutely. I was commenting on The question asked on whether Tim or Avi can sing lower. Tim is teaching Avi how to hit those firebreath low notes.
Loved their sing off performances :) Now that you got that done, i have two suggestions for home free the first is End of The road by boys to men home free cover.... rob... rob... wow... this is probably the most amazing showcase of Rob Singing... pure gold. the other i only listened to for the first time yesterday, its a collaboration between Peter Hollens & Tim Foust called Greensleeves and Tim's range jumping in this is absolutely crazy.... Love the reaction man.... looking forward to more :)
@@patriciawoyczik1657 ive seen both... i dont think there is anything home free has done i have not watched lol.... i saw them live and met them in febuary
I’m glad you took the time to react to these performances with the interviews and judges comments...you get some background on the group and as well as some insight into the guys personalities. Thanks. Loved your reaction. You seemed to enjoy Colder Weather and a number of people have recommended the live version where Austin forgets the words...it is hilarious. But they also have a great music video for it that they did several years after The Sing Off that you might enjoy.
Fun! FYI, the group they did the ultimate sing-off with, the Filharmonic, are still together and appear often on the late-night show that James Corden hosts, whenever he has a musical show-down with a guest. The name spelling comes from the fact they are all of Filipino heritage. Oh, and the bigger guy, Joe, was in the same college group as Avi Kaplan! Home Free had tried out twice before for The Sing-Off, but they hadn’t really distinguished themselves as anything other than a rather generic acapella group. Eventually, they spoke with the show producers who told them they needed to set themselves apart. Since they had been doing some country songs in their concert playlists and those had been received well, they decided to brand themselves as a country acapella group, and they finally gelled.
They didn't have austin and tim the first 3 auditions. They are all great members, but those two are the stand outs in their craft. They were key to them getting on the show. That isn't a knock to the others. It takes all 5 and they have to weak members
Adam's brother Chris was with the group until late 2016. Adam Chance replaced Chris and sings baritone and bass. The Sing Off was in December 2013. Their career really bloomed afterwards. The group is in its 31st year, but Tim and Austin joined about 2012 and they decided to go country and we're quite successful, but now they've gone over the top. Another good video is their concert in Morrison IL...the first two songs are All About The Bass and Your Man...so good!
Fun re-visiting Home Free's journey. This dates back to the old of still using a VCR and savoring their performances on VHS tapes. Have seen the guys talk about how HF signs were handed out to audience members (who had no clue who they were) so that colors how the segments are now seen. Unfortunate that Chris didn't garner one mention by the judges (at least in these segments). Am enjoying the evolution of where each guy is, now, how popular HF has become, their solo work...and with others outside of HF... as well as the amazing opportunities they continue to embrace along with the most welcome addition of Chance several years ago! :) (ETA: odd that Rob's last name was misspelled in the graphics. AB looks SO young.)
Oh, btw, if you're wondering why we're all freaking out at the end reveal even though we know who won already is because not only did they set up the suspense and tension correctly, but it's because we've become attached to the groups in question, and emotions mess with our brains regardless of knowledge. :P
thank you so much for the reactions home free is one of my favorites I have seen them live twice and what you see in the videos is what they perform at their shows (sometimes with a little extra for comic effect). smiles and love to you
Maybe an unpopular opinion... I love Pentatonix... but these guys made SUCH a full sound with each of their songs, I really wonder if they'd have truly would have given PTX a DAMN good run for their money?
Wow, even though I know the outcome I so enjoyed it This Home Fry needs my Home Free fix at least once a day. Oh, and they are so wonderful live. I gave myself a 74th birthday present and my daughter and I went to see Home Free in Reading Pennsylvania.What a night. Saving up money to go again if they come within driving distance.
Yes, exactly and then some!!! I so enjoyed your reaction and the SingOff performances..... never get tired of them! Guess in so many ways --- from that point, I have seen how they've progressed and grown. Sad thing is......it may just be me but, even after winning, the $$$, and the recording contract ....... they simply weren't PROMOTED!!!! How could you not promote what they have going here? Honestly seems like they've promoted themselves... which in turn have been pushed by the fans (on here). They deserve a lot more then what they received so far, for sure!!! .... It's almost (or it seems to me) like the Label was disappointed so how!!! Your reaction to this SingOff is so familiar to us ........... it's like we're watching a replay of ourselves in a mirror... and that oh so familiar "good" feeling. Nice to see that feeling hasn't changed too -- we're so content with what HF does....... simply unwavering fans!!! I am glad and honored to be a part of Home Free (the work they do for community is awesome!) Oh --- Tim's lower than Avi......... actually Tim worked with Avi a bit ...... hmmmm, very similar to his working with (Adam) Chance!?! Avi is awesome too, different sound and it's good!!!
Home Free just has a feel good sound, from serious to hilarious. They are all so down to earth and its so cute when they blush when they are complimented
First of all... MAN U!!!!!! 🔥👍🏼🔥 Secondly, Tim hits some crazy rattlers on, Do You Hear What I Hear? Thirds, not to brag, but I'm taking my wife to see them live on April 20th as her birthday gift and I'm too excited!
I hope you're gonna react to PTX's guest performances on The Sing Off. They did "I Need Your Love" in the final and a christmas song mash-up (don't know if that was the same night or another time). They also performed a christmas song on America's Got Talent (I think that's the show).
Great reaction, thanks for doing all of these together. Home Free does some great Christmas music and has some great original songs. I look forward to seeing many more reactions. If you want check out how far they’ve come you should check out something from their albums Kickin It Old School (pre Tim and Austin) or Live from the Road (pre Austin). I recommend King of the Road or Under the Boardwalk, and I’m Yours and Hey Soul Sister. These will be audio only, no videos.
Tim's vocal range is so impressive A0 to A5 he does A0 on their music video cover of Sold! There are several vocal range battle video's check out one with Tim Foust, Avi Kaplan and Geoff Castellucci (Voiceplay)
Look how good they were there. Adam was really good and didn't put things in that didn't need to be put in Forward to today OMG look how all of them have grown and how amazing they are. I'm glad we have gotten to watch them group individually and as a group.
I don't know if I missed it or not, but, I don't remember you saying you're a Home Fry. LOL You should hear Tim and Peter Hollens do 'Misty Mountains.'
This win was in 2013. Adam and Chris Rupp along with a couple of friends formed Home Free in 2000. Beatboxer Adam is the only remaining founding member in the group as of early 2016 when Chris left to go solo and produce. That's when Adam Chance (known as Chance) joined the group.
Did you ever check out Home Free's performance on season 5 of the Sing Off as they were the winners of season 4? It included the 3 judges and Nick as well.
you should look at Colder Weather Memory Lapse they are doing the song live and Austin forgets the words. It is hilarious and I think you would enjoy it.
They all look so young. Even the judges LOL. Seems Home Free had some good experience performing together at various places before Sing Off, that's a darn good advantage. PTX did not have that exposure, except for the trio of Kirstie, Mitch and Scott knowing each other for years and doing some stuff together, it was a little more risky for them. But they sure pulled it off. This was great. I love country but I'm glad that they now do different genre.
ok...NOW you need to go to Home Free Little Red Riding hood w/ extra intro. there are a ton of story time with Tim videos that are way worth the watch. But again... Colder memory lapse. these guys are the BEST even if they aren't singing
Also: th-cam.com/video/Snyun4OGZMw/w-d-xo.html Avi vs Tim -- Bass Battle. I wouldn't necessarily react to it, but it'll give you a firm grounding and some sneaky peeks into videos you might want to watch. :)
Because homefree and voiceplay thought they were going to be in a sing-off they had practised a “duel” which they didn’t do ... so they made a great video together ... check it out ...it’s Survivor
seriously, you didn't laugh or even seem phased when Tim said, 'Gosh darn it, he's pretty"., about Nick, really. I can't believe it. Love your reactions to them though.
That isn't the only comment Tim made about Nick. During the party anthems episode (episode 2) they did this little silly thing with the various groups talking about partying and one of the ladies from Element (I think) says, "We want to party with Nick Lachey," and then they cut to Home Free, who are cracking up about something and then Tim says something like, "He's so beautiful," and then Rob nods and says, "He's a beautiful man." I love that Tim's just like, "I find him attractive. Deal with it," and shrugs and goes on completely unbothered by concerns that it might be seen as unmasculine or gay or whatever.
Another amazing performance from the finale of that season is Ben Folds with Vocal Rush singing the Bing Crosby/David Bowie duet "Little Drummer Boy, Peace on Earth". Definitely check that one out.
The guys recently revealed that they weren't originally too keen on the idea of the SingOff , because they couldn't afford to travel with no certainty of success. They got a booking nearby, and decided they might as well audition, since they would be in the neighbourhood anyway The rest is history.
Home Free is extremly good. LOVE Tim . And the others too❤❤❤❤❤ Thsnk you Patrol to leave the talking to after the songs, and not talk every 2 min. In the songs.
You need to check out Chris Rupp's channel where he does a history of Home Free. Chris Tim and Austin talk about their experience on the Sing Off and how the producers at first gave people the signs for the vocal groups but by the end of the show even the relatives of the other bands where holding up Home Free signs.

They’re getting better as they go on.
I have listened to the "Colder Weather" performance about 100 times, and I have NEVER heard where Rob's pitch changed! I think that the judges were so complimentary towards them during the entire season, that they had to find something negative to say!
It wasn't Rob, it was Austin when he joined in.
@@venus5019 No, Rob was definitely pitchy, which left Austin trying to get the pitch back on track.

That's not just me but Stockman. I saw it live & heard it live and agreed. It was a quick recovery with both of them finding each other. It can happen with nerves.
Same here. Plus HF turned down the judges strong suggestion to not let Rob take the lead.
ME EITHER, I JUST FIGURED THEY HAD TO FIND SOMETHING WRONG EVEN IF THEY HAD TO MAKE IT UP TO MAKE IT SEEM NOT TOO OBVIOUS WHO WAS THE BEST!!!
Thanks for putting this together! It was amazing! 💖💖
Glad you are doing this. You can see how much they've improved since then. Love it!!💕💕💕
Chris Rupp, who started Home Free and kept it going for YEARS, left the group about 2 1/2 years ago to pursue solo opportunities and also sing with his sister in another band (talented family). HF now had Adam Chance (called Chance to avoid confusion with Adam Rupp). You will notice when reacting to videos that those two might switch out depending on how far back the video was.
Tim has the lower notes and even taught Avi how to sing lower. There are indeed “Bass battle” videos out there comparing those two and other a cappella basses.

Thanks for all the interesting info! Cheers from Sweden
Tim taught Geoff Castelucci too from VoicePlay how to sing super low

Thank you so much. I really enjoyed it!!!
I've been having a stressful past few weeks, and I'm so happy I came across this reaction 😁 It lifted my spirits 🤙 Aloha!!
I didn't see this originally, thanks for doing it. Love Home Free!
Had to come back and watch this again after several years. The beginning of a wonderful Home Free journey. 🥰

Since they had been doing some country songs in their concert playlists and those had been received well, they decided to brand themselves as a country acapella group, and they finally gelled.
They didn't have austin and tim the first 3 auditions. They are all great members, but those two are the stand outs in their craft. They were key to them getting on the show. That isn't a knock to the others. It takes all 5 and they have to weak members
that was great, I'D LIKE TO SEE ALL PERFORMANCES, SO WE CAN SEE WHAT THE COMPETITION WAS LIKE
Thanks for capturing all of their performances.
Adam's brother Chris was with the group until late 2016. Adam Chance replaced Chris and sings baritone and bass. The Sing Off was in December 2013. Their career really bloomed afterwards. The group is in its 31st year, but Tim and Austin joined about 2012 and they decided to go country and we're quite successful, but now they've gone over the top. Another good video is their concert in Morrison IL...the first two songs are All About The Bass and Your Man...so good!
Omg I sat and watched this whole thing I have always loved them
Ironically, the only Sing-Off season I ever watched was the season that Chance’s group, Street Corner Symphony, was on.
Fun re-visiting Home Free's journey. This dates back to the old of still using a VCR and savoring their performances on VHS tapes. Have seen the guys talk about how HF signs were handed out to audience members (who had no clue who they were) so that colors how the segments are now seen. Unfortunate that Chris didn't garner one mention by the judges (at least in these segments). Am enjoying the evolution of where each guy is, now, how popular HF has become, their solo work...and with others outside of HF... as well as the amazing opportunities they continue to embrace along with the most welcome addition of Chance several years ago! :) (ETA: odd that Rob's last name was misspelled in the graphics. AB looks SO young.)
Oh, btw, if you're wondering why we're all freaking out at the end reveal even though we know who won already is because not only did they set up the suspense and tension correctly, but it's because we've become attached to the groups in question, and emotions mess with our brains regardless of knowledge. :P
Thanks for showing all those songs. It was great watching you enjoying Home Free.
Watched the whole thing because I didn't even know about the show until about 2 months ago. I knew who was going to win & still held my breath, lol.
I've watched it a few times and hold my breath every time like the outcome is going to change lol. Like others have said look how far they have come
thank you so much for the reactions home free is one of my favorites I have seen them live twice and what you see in the videos is what they perform at their shows (sometimes with a little extra for comic effect). smiles and love to you
This is the first time I’ve seen your channel & I’ve subscribed. Loved it.
Thank you for watching.
Maybe an unpopular opinion... I love Pentatonix... but these guys made SUCH a full sound with each of their songs, I really wonder if they'd have truly would have given PTX a DAMN good run for their money?
I agree
Yes, they would, but what's funny they took avi Caplan from pentatonix
Wow, even though I know the outcome I so enjoyed it This Home Fry needs my Home Free fix at least once a day. Oh, and they are so wonderful live. I gave myself a 74th birthday present and my daughter and I went to see Home Free in Reading Pennsylvania.What a night. Saving up money to go again if they come within driving distance.
Yes, exactly and then some!!! I so enjoyed your reaction and the SingOff performances..... never get tired of them! Guess in so many ways --- from that point, I have seen how they've progressed and grown. Sad thing is......it may just be me but, even after winning, the $$$, and the recording contract ....... they simply weren't PROMOTED!!!! How could you not promote what they have going here? Honestly seems like they've promoted themselves... which in turn have been pushed by the fans (on here). They deserve a lot more then what they received so far, for sure!!! .... It's almost (or it seems to me) like the Label was disappointed so how!!!
Your reaction to this SingOff is so familiar to us ........... it's like we're watching a replay of ourselves in a mirror... and that oh so familiar "good" feeling. Nice to see that feeling hasn't changed too -- we're so content with what HF does....... simply unwavering fans!!! I am glad and honored to be a part of Home Free (the work they do for community is awesome!)
Oh --- Tim's lower than Avi......... actually Tim worked with Avi a bit ...... hmmmm, very similar to his working with (Adam) Chance!?! Avi is awesome too, different sound and it's good!!!
Home Free just has a feel good sound, from serious to hilarious. They are all so down to earth and its so cute when they blush when they are complimented
That was one more awesome video!!! I got my Home Free fix for the day!!! ❤️
First of all... MAN U!!!!!! 🔥👍🏼🔥
Secondly, Tim hits some crazy rattlers on, Do You Hear What I Hear?
Thirds, not to brag, but I'm taking my wife to see them live on April 20th as her birthday gift and I'm too excited!
I hope you're gonna react to PTX's guest performances on The Sing Off. They did "I Need Your Love" in the final and a christmas song mash-up (don't know if that was the same night or another time). They also performed a christmas song on America's Got Talent (I think that's the show).
I need your love is one of my favorite live performances by ptx
Awesome reaction. Thanks.
This was the first time I have ever seen this ...and I really enjoyed it. Didn't feel like I was watching it alone 😊
Great reaction, thanks for doing all of these together. Home Free does some great Christmas music and has some great original songs. I look forward to seeing many more reactions.
If you want check out how far they’ve come you should check out something from their albums Kickin It Old School (pre Tim and Austin) or Live from the Road (pre Austin). I recommend King of the Road or Under the Boardwalk, and I’m Yours and Hey Soul Sister. These will be audio only, no videos.
You've done a really good job with this video. Thanks
Tim's vocal range is so impressive A0 to A5 he does A0 on their music video cover of Sold! There are several vocal range battle video's check out one with Tim Foust, Avi Kaplan and Geoff Castellucci (Voiceplay)
Hearing Colder Weather reminds me of a great excerpt from a concert titled Colder Memory lapse what were they thinking... it's a fabulous video
Look how good they were there. Adam was really good and didn't put things in that didn't need to be put in
Forward to today OMG look how all of them have grown and how amazing they are. I'm glad we have gotten to watch them group individually and as a group.
They love their music, and their also comedians
I don't know if I missed it or not, but, I don't remember you saying you're a Home Fry. LOL You should hear Tim and Peter Hollens do 'Misty Mountains.'
Amen.
Thanks for sharing this entire show!! You looked tired,but you hang there! It’s 1:45 AM here in Iowa,United states
love that they mimicked the gopher
This win was in 2013. Adam and Chris Rupp along with a couple of friends formed Home Free in 2000. Beatboxer Adam is the only remaining founding member in the group as of early 2016 when Chris left to go solo and produce. That's when Adam Chance (known as Chance) joined the group.
Tim has a 5 octave range
5 octave's and 3 notes
Did you ever check out Home Free's performance on season 5 of the Sing Off as they were the winners of season 4? It included the 3 judges and Nick as well.
Home Free and Voice Play in the same Sing-off season. Wow.
you should look at Colder Weather Memory Lapse they are doing the song live and Austin forgets the words. It is hilarious and I think you would enjoy it.
Yes! I came to the comments just to see if anyone had suggested that one.
Thanks for this 😊 I am a new fry☺️ but a fry forever love your reactions 💞
I 🧡 both Bass: Tim 🧡 & Avi 🧡
And I love: HOME FREE & PENTATONIX 🧡🧡🧡 And every member of the groups 🧡🧡🧡
They all look so young. Even the judges LOL. Seems Home Free had some good experience performing together at various places before Sing Off, that's a darn good advantage. PTX did not have that exposure, except for the trio of Kirstie, Mitch and Scott knowing each other for years and doing some stuff together, it was a little more risky for them. But they sure pulled it off.
This was great. I love country but I'm glad that they now do different genre.
A Absolutely great video.
These country dudes don't have to dance, they've got it without the dance.
ok...NOW you need to go to Home Free Little Red Riding hood w/ extra intro. there are a ton of story time with Tim videos that are way worth the watch.
But again... Colder memory lapse. these guys are the BEST even if they aren't singing
"That's even better than I remember it!" -- Ahahaha. Bless you but I react the same way every time for this one.
Also: th-cam.com/video/Snyun4OGZMw/w-d-xo.html Avi vs Tim -- Bass Battle. I wouldn't necessarily react to it, but it'll give you a firm grounding and some sneaky peeks into videos you might want to watch. :)
FYI. Home Free has a new video out from their new album. The song is called Dive Bar Saints.
Just awesome 👏
Because homefree and voiceplay thought they were going to be in a sing-off they had practised a “duel” which they didn’t do ... so they made a great video together ... check it out ...it’s Survivor
Home Free has two Adams. Adam Rupp (brother to Chris Rupp (beatboxer) and Adam Chance newest addition to the group. He is a Baritone/Bass.
Chance was the bass singer for Street Corner Symphony when they performed during season 2 of The Sing-Off. They came in 2nd.
seriously, you didn't laugh or even seem phased when Tim said, 'Gosh darn it, he's pretty"., about Nick, really. I can't believe it. Love your reactions to them though.
That isn't the only comment Tim made about Nick. During the party anthems episode (episode 2) they did this little silly thing with the various groups talking about partying and one of the ladies from Element (I think) says, "We want to party with Nick Lachey," and then they cut to Home Free, who are cracking up about something and then Tim says something like, "He's so beautiful," and then Rob nods and says, "He's a beautiful man."
I love that Tim's just like, "I find him attractive. Deal with it," and shrugs and goes on completely unbothered by concerns that it might be seen as unmasculine or gay or whatever.
Jewel was a one name singer, quite popular in Country Music.
Watched you awhile ago, before you "retired" to another platform 😉 and always enjoy your honest reactions, beginning with a Craig Morgan song ❤️
Another amazing performance from the finale of that season is Ben Folds with Vocal Rush singing the Bing Crosby/David Bowie duet "Little Drummer Boy, Peace on Earth". Definitely check that one out.
If you didn't listen to the rest of the season, vocal rush (finalist group) is a group of high schoolers.
Beautiful
The guys recently revealed that they weren't originally too keen on the idea of the SingOff , because they couldn't afford to travel with no certainty of success. They got a booking nearby, and decided they might as well audition, since they would be in the neighbourhood anyway The rest is history.
You need to check out Tim Foust Birthday Bash 2019... bass singer in Home Free just him with other friends singing. He has instruments too..😁
Home Free is extremly good. LOVE Tim . And the others too❤❤❤❤❤
Thsnk you Patrol to leave the talking to after the songs, and not talk every 2 min. In the songs.
You need to check out Chris Rupp's channel where he does a history of Home Free. Chris Tim and Austin talk about their experience on the Sing Off and how the producers at first gave people the signs for the vocal groups but by the end of the show even the relatives of the other bands where holding up Home Free signs.
Timmy has a lower range than Avi both are great tho! seeing home free in April 2022 - for the 5th time.....love them!!
