Regarding Austin's nose twitch, I have personally always thought it was more because he's a natural showman and when he's performing, he just can't help but do little movements that draw one's attention. He does that more so than anyone else and you can see it in every video. Usually it's with his hands, but here he knew the camera was zooming in on him at that moment, so maybe that was just him expressing his friendly, extroverted self.
Yes, exactly. It truly is for the camera. It’s a lovely bit of loving! Just his way of communicating his cheeky side.
@@BangkokVoiceCoach Also, he comes from musical theater training, so that probably figures in, too.
@@arnieadam I agree. Austin can draw you in with just the way he uses his eyes, a head gesture and his body motion. And that smile is is the cherry on top. I think Austin is giving lessons though😁. I've noticed more of these "tactics" from the rest of the gang in their newer endeavors.
I believe it to be because of his background in musical theater too but whatever the reason is I love it when he does that it's adorable and makes me giggle 😁
I've always thought the nose twitch was telling the listener, "hold on to your chair because I'm about to blow you out of it!" He always seems to do it just before he brings down the chandelier.
You touched on something that really makes Home Free stand out - EVERYONE gest a chance. There is no 'lead' singer, they go with whatever voice (or voices) will work best for a particular song. They were really excited when they did American Pie that there were enough verses to go around, including one for Don McLean.
Tim's arrangement is brilliant, their presentation is spectacular. The setting was inspired and the camera work just added to it. If you haven't already, you should also listen to their Angels we Have Heard - it was filmed in the same church, but a more intimate portion. Another feast for the ears - Chris Rupp did the arrangement for that one.
This song is the first I heard from these talented guys two years ago, and it is still my favorite Christmas song. I agree, this is the best version I have ever heard. At one point it says ...I hear the angel voices.... - Yes, these guys have voices like angels, they are the best! Great reaction!
Home Free is known for their tight harmonies. They’re so good. Tim, the bass, and first singer, arranged this years ago as a teen. He didn’t know how to write it on paper so he sang every part to the group. So amazing. Loved the bell tones. Good reaction and Merry Christmas!
I love their arrangement of this song. I have 2 favorite parts-the cascading bell sound and the tight, passionate power of the final chorus. Amazing aren't they? This is the best version of this song that I have ever heard.
You haven’t had a chance to check out Adam Rupp’s vocal percussion talent. While you’re still in the Christmas mood, check Do You Hear What I Hear?, which was arranged by Adam. Very, very, complex ear candy
If u want a unique version of “do you hear what i hear” its home frees version
‘Do you hear what us hear’ us Phenomenal!! I believe the arrangement was done by Adam.
If you haven’t done Do You Hear What I Hear, you need to react to it. Adam Rupp, the beatboxer, arranged it and I have read it was the most complicated arrangement they had ever done. Love to hear your comments on that one.
So much talent in that group and whole organization and yes Tim arranged it.
This is so gorgeous. My favorite part is the carillon bells followed by the waterfall of "fall"s. Thanks for showing some warm weather. Here in Minnesota there is about a foot of snow and although the sun is shining brightly, it's 1 degree F, with a windchill of -10. But listening to these guys always warms me up. Hope you are having a happy holiday.
If you haven't yet, you should listen to some of Austin's solo work. Some of my favorites are "Bring Him Home", "Unchained Melody", "Tears In Heaven", "Danny Boy", and "Georgia On My Mind" (Austin's hometown is Tifton, Georgia).
Home Free forever!!!
I always say.... if that don't give ya chills, you ain't human! Lol.
I love your reactions. Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 ❤️
Definitely true
My thoughts on the nose twitch: Austin's pretty cute, and I think this was done for the ladies in his younger days. Now that he's older, and has the amazing Amberly in his life, you seldom see the nose twitch in their current works.
Thank you for that heartfelt reaction. I love these guys so much. Apart from their musical collaboration, I find each of them so attractive in their own way. Gorgeous young Austin, devastatingly handsome Tim, and super-huggable Rob especially. I think Austin's nose twitch is a way to get that country twang. Tim does something similar when he goes high.
Thank you Nanette xx
Thank you for an excellent reaction to the beautiful HF rendition of O Holy Night. Tim’s arrangement is exquisite!
Harmonies are even warmer when Adam is singing.
They spend a lot of time together in their off times as well. Families go on vacation together. It shows in their performances. You can’t take that.
So good to hear. It’s not always that way, believe me 😄😆
Would love to hear more reactions to Home free from you!
One of my favorite Home Free Christmas songs. A couple of my other favorites is 'Do You Hear What I Hear', and the original Home Free song, 'Snow Globe'. Happy Holidays 🎁🎄
Beautiful arrangement!! Gave me chills! They all did so good with harmonies! Great reaction! I love Home Free😊
William, I LOVE your Home Free reactions! Your analysis describes them perfectly! The bond they have with each other shows in their performances! This truly is my favorite version of this song! As for Austin's nose scrunch, I think it was just a flirty thing then. This video is one of their older ones so Austin was only about 28! He doesn't do that nose thing much anymore unless it's when his partner, Amberly, is filming him!😊 Have a very Merry Christmas🌟⛪🛐🎄🎀 & a Happy New Year🎆🎇🎊 on the other side of the globe from frigid 🥶(but no snow) SE Tennessee, USA! Thursday night, it dropped from 45 degrees F to 1 degree F in a couple of hours!
Thanks so much x
This is gorgeous. Their version of Mary Did You Know is also something very special.
William I just love watching you, especially with Home Free reactions.
Yep, THAT! And, why have I just found your reactions??! 🤔 Well, Merry Christmas to me!!! Austin's "twitch", is because, he's Austin, and he CAN!!! ❤️
HaHa! I totally agree. Austin twitches as beautifully as he sings!! 🙄😂
I've seen him do that with his smile and nose, I think its flirty as he plays to the camera. Whatever the reason I LOVE IT!! Nana Karen UK
It’s flirty. It’s a vocal device!
Merry Christmas, William. 🌲💕
The Austin Crinkle is what we can it. I have no idea why he does it, I think it's just a cute thing, and of course we all adore it whatever the reason. Thanks for a great reaction!
Home Free is the best! This is the best version I have ever heard. Love your reaction. Merry Christmas!
Love Home Free 💕, Love Your Reactions
Your reactions are wonderful so would you please please please do one on Austin’s channel, a solo, that I think quite a few of us would love to see your reaction & analysis.
AUSTIN BROWN “BRING HIM HOME”
from Les Miserables 🙏
If you can, please react to Homefree's "Do You Hear What I Hear " !! It is jaw dropping !!!
I love Austin's little nose twitch! I read a comment sometime ago about it that said it has to do with clearing the nasal passage (or something like that) for high notes.
It’s definitely a prep for high notes. Not just a cute wriggle. 😂🤪
I don't think you've seen the latest Home Free videos: "Remember My Name" & "Playing With Fire" (both of which were written or co-written by Austin), live videos from their European Tour of "Hers Ain't Mine" (written by Austin), Skull & Bones (written by Adam Chance) and a professionally recorded live video of "Sea Shanty Medley". I think you'd enjoy all of them. I love your reactions, comments & analyses.
This is such a beautiful version of this song.💗💗
😇Angels singing ❤. Good reaction
Happy Holidays 🎄
Have you listened to Austin sing Bring him home from Les Miserable? Can recommend it, and would love to see your reaction if that is the case. It's on Austins channel.
I’ve heard it wonderful. But I didn’t look yet. I imagine he sings it in the high key!! G major.
great song from Austin ❤️
And then there's Two Country Singers Try Singing Opera. That one is Austin and Rob going back to their opera training and is on Austin's channel.
Adam Rupp 's arrangement. He, they did my most favorite version ever!.
Tim arranged this. Adam arranged do you hear what I hear
Austin wasn’t able to grow a beard at this point! The nose crinkles etc is Austin flirting😂
At 28 years old, he could grow a beard but as is very common with the first beard a man grows, it was slow to grow and looked scruffy, so he kept shaving.
This song was my first introduction to Home Free--and they've been my favorite musicians ever since!
Love it when these guys voice the bell tones🔔
Besides the unbelievable harmonies--and gorgeous church backdrop--getting to hear Adam Rupp's sweet tenor actually singing is a real treat ❣️🎼🥰🎶❤️
Would love to hear your reaction to Home Free's version of "Mary, Did You Know" and for sure, their version of "Auld Lang Syne" for New Years'!
Auld Lang Syne. What a great suggestion. 🙏
So beautiful. I can't get enough of this one 😍 ❤️
Loved the reaction! Merry Christmas. As to Austin's clean shaven look, I'm not certain he could grow whiskers at that point.
He may have looked about 12 years old but was in fact 27/28 when this was filmed. Since then, the beard has appeared and disappeared at regular intervals, growing back with dizzying speed every time he shaves it off.
I agree, it is very exciting to hear these guys and their arrangements are top-notch also.
Merry Christmas from Austin, TX! Thanks for the great reaction to this treasure and these guys are humble and talented so there's not much 😉 they can't accomplish. I'm a recent fan of theirs myself!
This is the one that got me started -- and for good reason too! Gotta say, the best I've ever heard. Oh, and the facial "scrunch", it's a flirty thing - not so different from winking!!! Nice reaction! Merry Christmas (Reason for the Season!) Be Safe
Go back and listen to the message at the end, after the song is over. They tell where they are. That's something you have to always check at the tail end of Home Free and VoicePlay videos. They don't alway have something to say after the song, but when they do it is important to hear. VoicePlay's Halo Theme is a good example of that.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You're passion is contagious! Adore this version by Home Free. I'll be seeing them in 3 days! Thanks - loved your reaction. Merry Christmas! 🎄🎅🍟
I'll be there too on the 4th row. Say hi.
@@beadwright Row D Seat 5! 😁
Row D seat 36!
@@beadwright 👍 Excited! Haven't seen the guys in a few years. See you there.
Merry Christmas!✨️🎄🎅
I wish peace, harmony and prosperity to reign in every home. May the guardian angel protect you from troubles, adversities, you and your loved ones! Thank you for your reaction, great performance.💝🎶
Beautiful song, beautiful harmonies and beautiful setting.
Powerful
Love your reactions. I spent 2 years in Nong Khai. It might have Gothenburg down to 20C once. But, yes, cool season was pleasant. Hanging out by the Gulf of Thailand now. Nice breeze most of the time.
That’s brilliant John. So you are living somewhere gorgeous in Thailand now? -Will
@@BangkokVoiceCoach Yep, just south in Hua Hin. (Should have been 'gotten' not Gothenburg. Home state of Minnesota is about -20C right now. I don't miss that. Be well.
New Homefry Sub 🎉❤
They did a beautiful job. The arrangement and harmonies are both creative and seamless. Another stunning version is done by David Phelps in a live concert with the Gaithers. He's a classically trained tenor who for many years (until recently) sang primarily Christian music. He sings this with such faith and conviction (as well as a stunning voice), that it's the most moving I've ever heard.
Another person mentioned this to me yesterday. I must look!
Lol great reaction 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄
Truly divine.
I loved your reaction. It is a perfect version.
It's a beautiful song that needs to be heard, not critiqued, please! Merry Christmas!
Air tickles his nose
I’d say that’s it.
Thank you Sir for not talking thru the whole song , it’s ok that you point out certain points of interest, but you allow the song to play thru and praise at the end
New subscriber. Love your input.
Thanks 🙏 Wanda ❤️
I hope you can do David Phelps’s performance of this song. His version is so moving, powerful. Vocal mastery too!
To me, I think his version is the best for English lyrics. And Jussi’s version is the best for non English lyrics , opera style!
Was Jussi in French?
@@BangkokVoiceCoach I think Jussi’s version is in his native tongue- Swedish. Pavarotti was inspired by Jussi’s tenor voice as well as the artistry and said that it’s his honor to be compared with Jussi.
Gotta check out do you hear what I hear? And Sikent Night
С Рождеством!)) Найдите ,, Хор Турецкого,, - вам понравится))
Watch the "history of home free" on Chris 😢Rupp channel. It explains Austin & his love affair with the camera 😂😂❤❤
Oh please send me the link!!! Does it explain the nose wrinkling? 😝
@Bangkok Voice Coach it does not specifically. Lol. But it does shed a little light on Austin's genuine personality. (& flare ❤️ for the camera. ) I'll find it for you... please check out beautiful star of Bethlehem *with oak ridge boys* And Christmas in Dixie *with ALABAMA*. these boys are definitely putting their stamp on....everything good. 😉🥰
I don't know why Austin does the nose crunches, but the newer you go the less you see of them. He does however look ridicously young in this video.
And this arrangement was by Tim
I've always wondered if it was from his musical theater training, and as he grew away from that, the twitch went, too. We know he can still make love to the camera - When a Man Loves a Woman and their humorous romance videos are proof of that.
@@nancyholter5646 Why on earth would his musical theatre training make him twitch his nose???
@@patriciamcl54 theater - playing to the audience, playing up your cuteness, engaging the audience.
Can someone tell me why he does that? 😆 I can tell you exactly why he does that from personal experience. As southerners (specifically south east) we tend to swallow words and make the endings gutteral instead of plosive. Many voice and diction teachers have us make the faces to insure that we catch the plosive sounds and don't swallow them. Merry Christmas ⛄🎄
Don't forget Mayday Do you hear what I hear
I THINK HE'S FLIRTING WITH THE CAMERIA😉
Definitely. IE flirting with the viewer!
Of the two best known A Capella groups, I much prefer Pentatonix and while
I do think Tim is good, I think Avi Kaplan the original bass for them is far superior.
Here is PTX performing Silent Night and Avi taking over the lead.
Avi is a classically trained Basso Profundo and had just received a letter of hire from the L.A. Opera House and suddenly he received a phone call from Scott. He was needing a bass for the upcoming NBC A Capella sing off and since his goal was more toward the A Capella genus and not opera, he jumped at the opportunity. His 5+ octave range and overtone singing capabilities worked well with their needs.
Here is PTX performing Silent Night
th-cam.com/video/sme8N2pzRx8/w-d-xo.html
Avi remained with PTX for 6 years and has been a solo artist for the past 5 years.
I know Christmas is passed but you might enjoy listening to this.
Why does he do that with his face ..... BECAUSE HE CAN ..... he literally CAN DO IT WHILE SINGING PHENOMENALLY A DEMANDING HYMN ..... boom ! Best there is in each case Bass - Baritone Tenors 2,3, Beat boxer Not here though.
He doesn't do it any more. So, it can't be structural.
I still see him do it from time to time I think I even saw him do it subtlety at the end of their new video have yourself a merry little Christmas but the zoom out it was hard to tell
