They really do have some stellar harmonies. I love the original, too, and they really did it justice. Adam Rupp singing in his high tenor is truly a sweet addition. Great reaction too! 🙌
The original group started in 2000, but the combination of these 5 voices have only been together since 2016. It is amazing how quickly they have blended their voices to become one gorgeous sound. these 5 men are some of the most humble, down to earth people you will ever meet too, which makes them even more special. I would love to hear your take on more of their stuff.
I grew up listening to Crosby, Stills & Nash & had their album with this song Helplessly Hoping. Absolutely loved them & their harmonies. This song is full of alliterations. Home Free more than does justice to all the songs they cover. And this song is perfection to me with the 5 part harmonies. I can't say enough about how great these guys are & humble while still staying respectful to the original song.
This was one that Chance brought to them. That's one of the great things about this group is that they support each other's visions and projects and allow and encourage each other to grow as musicians. Any one of them can bring an arrangement to the group and they'll work it out.
Chance also pushed for the “Sea Shanty Medley” but the others weren’t too thrilled. But they came together and at this time after less than 2 years, it has over 27M views!!!
The original group was started 22years ago. This particular group of guys has been together since 2016 when Adam Chance took over from founding member Chris Rupp.
I've seen them in person. Sat about 10 feet from the stage. They are immaculate in person. They are just as fun in person as they appear in their videos.
In person they sound the same. Natural talented voices that don't need to be corrected in production. They love what they do and it shows by the way they have honed their craft. Thanks for your review!
Just throw a dart at any of the 200 plus choices. You can't go wrong. You never know what the style, arrangement, lead or combination you are going to get. You just know it's going to be GOOD... I'm going to recommend "Everybody Walkin' This Land" because it doesn't get enough coverage. Stay for Tim's Message at the end!
I love it when Adam Rupp sings. (The beat boxer) Their harmonies are so beautiful. I saw them for the first time in 2013 when they were on the Singoff. I have seen them live, and they are just as good as recorded versions, with perfect vocals. They are so personable and funny. I believe they formed in 2001.
@@brendafrazier811 The road to ruin is paved with good intent. Saying backing vocals isn't singing is diminishing everyone but the person singing lead.
@@brendafrazier811 Well la ti da. Glad to know the supreme authority on what is meant in the world is a youtube user that can't figure out how to change their profile picture. I suggest you do something more valuable with your psychic authority than watching reaction videos and replying to comments. Maybe you can solve the meaning of life. (Its 42 btw).
All of them have impressive range. I'm pretty sure Tim, the bass, has the widest range. He goes from almost as high as Austin, the tenor, to a magnificent basso profundo. I love the way this song sounds excellent, then Tim comes in and puts a basement on it that makes it soar.
@@ronfuqua2117 Well we never hear Adam actually sing. If you're including the sound effects he makes then yeah. I don't think garbage trucks backing up, shotguns racking, and harmonicas classically count as vocal range. He does do a beautiful flute, though. As for believing Tim, I'll bet he's used that deep rumbley voice to whisper a few tiny lies to succeptible ladies on occasion. I know it would work on me! 🤣😁
@@Blue-rl5dp since Tim said it to me backstage at a show and since I am a 68-year-old old man with a beard the whisper was not present lol but beat boxing and singing both use voice so maybe range still applies to both in Tims eyes
An exquisite 5-part harmony masterpiece!!! Besides the unbelievable harmonies, getting to hear Adam Rupp's sweet tenor actually singing is such a great treat ❣️🎼🥰🎶❤️
The group started in 2000 by brothers Chris and Adam Rupp They are the first and only known country a cappela group but they can honestly sing any genre. They won The Sing Off season 4 2013 that's where they became very popular. Fans of Home Free are known as Home Fries .Ok now let's introduce you to the guys: Chris Rupp:Baritone (cowboy hat or other hats) One of the co founders of the group from Minnesota . Left in 2016 to pursue a solo career.Adam Rupp :beatboxer - tenor ( Freak of nature) can make any sound imaginable second co founder also from Minnesota . Austin Brown - High Tenor ( Long wavy hair ) voice of an angel from Georgia .Rob Lundquist - Lead tenor (beard and glasses) very soulful voice from Minnesota. Tim Foust: Bass (long dark hair now short with grey streak) 5+ octave range from Texas. Adam Chance : Baritone/ Bass ( Chance a because two Adams is confusing ) silky smooth voice replaced Chris Rupp in 2016 has short dark hair and usually wears a backwards baseball hat is from Alabama.
I'm so glad that when you grew up, you never lost your child's sense of wonder. Your capacity for sensory pleasure radiates like a ceramic stove in winter.
HF started with Chris and Adam Rupp with their Friend Matt Attwood in Mankato MN in 2000 added 2 more friends . This line up has been together since Chris Rupp retired handing over the Baritone position to Adam Chance in 2016.
I am told Tim did the arrangement on this. I can't get enough of when they use dissonance in their chords. When all 5 voices hit the same note at the same time...they sound like 1 voice. That's perfection.
This is in my top 5 favorites from Home Free. If you loved this one, there are more classic rock songs from iconic groups that they’ve covered that I think you’ll go crazy over. One is a Dire Straits cover of “Brothers In Arms” that will knock your socks off. Another is an uptempo rock song cover of “Listen To The Music” by the Doobie Brothers. One other is their Bruce Springsteen cover of “Born In the USA”. I’m really enjoying your reactions to Home Free! Being a fan of Classic Rock genre (especially the 70’s, since I was a teen during the first half), Home Free can, and has covered many genres in their own unique style.
Home Free was founded in 2000 by Chris Rupp, his younger brother, Adam Rupp, and Adam's best friend Matt Atwood in Minnesota.. Adam and Matt were in their teens. Adam who is a tenor volunteered to be the group's beat boxer. Chris and Matt are no longer in the group. Home Free went through numerous members through the years. Robb Lundquist was next permanent member after his previous acapella group disbanded . He joined in 2008. At that time, the members performed part time and held other jobs. Tim Foust was recruited to be a temporary bass when Home Free desperately needed a bass for their first tour. Tim has a five octave range. Chris tried to persuade Tim to become a permanent member of Home Free, but Tim refused to live in Minnesota and to work full time while performing part time. Tim was living at the time in California and had a permanent position as a musician for a wealthy patron. Later Tim returned to his house state of Texas and reached out to join Home Free permanently in 2012. Austin Brown was performing as a member of a cruise cast. He saw Home Free perform as guest performers on the cruise and immediately wanted to be a member when there was an opening. At that time, Matt had decided to join his family's business due to his father's illness. Austin joined Home Free in 2013. Home Free was on Their Sing Off, an acapella competition show, in 2013. At the producer's urging, they styled themselves as a country group to get on the show. They actually thought that they would stay only a few episodes. They, however, won the competition partly due to their tight harmonies. Voiceplay competed the same season. Home Free won The Sing Off the season after Pentatonix had won the competition. Chris Rupp decided to quit Home Free to focus on other projects. He was replaced by Adam Chance in 2016. Chance had competed on The Sing Off the second season as a member of Street Corner Symphony which came in second place. He had replaced Street Corner Symphony's bass after Tim had refused the position earlier. (Tim at the time had decided to quit a musical career and acapella). Chance quit Street Corner Symphony to join Home Free. He has a four octave range.
The band began in 2000 by Adam Rupp, the beatboxer, and his brother Chris, who left the band to go solo and do other endeavors in 2016, with the current members the same since then. Chance, who led of this song was Chris's replacement. Chance was with another A cappella band, Street Corner Symphony, in which he was the bass.
I am a loyal Home Fry. The group was created by Adam Rupp and his brother Chris in 2000. Tim joined in 2012 and Austin in 2013. Chris left the group and was replaced by Chance and these five have been together since 2016.I have seen them live three times and they are just as good if not better. I brought my husband with me last year. He has the kind of ear where he can hear if a violin is out of tune. He said that he did not hear a single wrong note, mistake in pitch or anything else. That's incredibly difficult to do live. They are all talented musicians on their own, but together they are something else.
They sound just as good live! 22 years the band has been together. Adam Chance is the newest member, joined in 2016 when Adam Rupp 's brother , Chris left.
The best part of this performance is how they start and end together! Outstanding reaction and I agree with you how Home Free has a habit of covering a song and making it their own.
It’s so beautiful. One of my favorites. Chance (who started the song and directed this video) is the newest member and joined in 2016. The rest have been together since 2013. Adam Rupp, the beatboxer, started the band in 2000 (with his brother Chris). So, most of the group has been together 10 years. Other songs that are all voices are Brothers in Arms, How Great Thou Art, Auld Lang Syne (for New Year’s). They’re wonderful. Good reaction! Happy New Year!
Wow. I don’t think I’ve heard this song since high school, and that was a long time ago! I think I actually prefer this version. Home Free is just so dang talented, and I’m thrilled to find your reaction tonight. I think you love it as much as I do.
Although I am familiar with CS&N, I was not familiar with this song until I saw this video. It is so beautifully done. So clean and smooth. The 5 part harmony is phenomenal.
Thank you for this great reaction. Home Free is amazing, each guy is incredibly talented on their own, put them altogether and you have a 'super group', I hope you just work your way through their body of work which is ever growing and I have not heard a bad one yet. They even make songs I don't like sound good.
The harmonies are the part I always loved best about singing in a small group. It's one thing to be able to sing the melody, but another to breathe life by filling out the chords.
They been together from what I understand for 20 yrs. They are the very best in a cappella groups. Hands down. Their harmonies are as good as it gets along with having phenomenal timing with each other.
All of the home free guys have amazing vocals. You mentioned about the bass who is Tim foust he can sing really low. I'd recommend home free "brothers in arms" and "ring of fire"
The Home Free rabbit hole is deep and has so many cool rooms. But as a Metal Vocalist, take a trip back to the roots. Joe Bonamassa is one of the best blues guitarists alive today, and Beth Heart has a voice with soul. Listen to their version of "I'd Rather Go Blind." You will love it.
Saw them on Dec 30th, here in Dallas. Although they didn't perform this particular song (it was a holiday show), they sound really good live. You wouldn't be disappointed seeing them live. Thank you for reacting to them... you're now a "Home Frie"
If you have some time and really want to know their history, there are multiple episodes on the ChrisRuppOfficial YT channel. There are some pretty funny stories to be heard. Also, for in depth on Tim, he does a great interview on The Charismatic Voice that is well worth a listen.
Check out the show The Sing Off which was an a cappella competition which aired I believe in December 2009! Home Free won it in season 4 which I believe was 2013 or 2014! You will see how they have grown and improved over the years. They are such a humble and authentic group! Thanks!
I had the chance to hear them in person this year. They are wonderful and funny too. Could have sat and listened for another 90 minutes. You have got to go.
Saw the fellas live at the beginning of December '22 and they were great. Didn't do this song, unfortunately, but based on how everything else sounded, they would have nailed this one, too.
There is one live version out there on YT that you can find just by searching (fan made video). They rarely did this one live. My guess is because even though it sounds simple, it's technically very hard as they are breathing the same, pronouncing the words the same, and all that jazz. The live version is without mics but they do quiet the audience down first so they can be heard.
A little late coming in here but I have also seen these guys live and they are this tight in person. They have done this live and there is video of it. But also, if you want to check out more of Austin Brown's range, he has a solo channel where he sings Bring him home from Les Misérables. It's phenomenal. He is trained in musical theater.
I would think it hard to match the several takes in the studio with time and thought in all the very tight blend, other considerations .... they are GREAT !!! GBjj
Love that you did this reaction and Happy New Year to you too. Agree with you that it is the 2.0 version. It is so clean. Austin is the guy with long hair and does a killer lead on Home Free’s cover of When A Man Loves A Woman. Thank you so much!
Bass Tim Foust actually has the widest range of the four singers at 5+ octaves. Tenor Austin Brown's range is just under five octaves. In any case, this song is HF's masterpiece. The exhibition of their expertise is exquisite. This isn't talent, it is talent scrubbed and polished by years of effort into SKILL.
If you haven't seen it you need to watch Ring of Fire with Avi from pentatonix and Homefree, it's amazing. If you want to see both pentatonix and homefree's beginnings, you need to watch The Sing Off. Pentatonix is season 3 and Homefree is season 4. It's like 11 or 12 songs per group but you will learn so much about how both groups got started, and watch them grow into what they are today. Have a Blessed New Year.
I am subbing because i love the way you appreciate my favorite group. There are so many things to love about Home Free. They are genuinely great humans who actually like each other, the music is so important to them. There is not an ego in the bunch, and they give so much to us fans. Keep the Home Free coming!!!
There is a live recorded by an audient, and guess what? They didnot even use mic, but just sang out loud! Please search "Home Free Helplessly Hoping Live at the Ryman October 2019".
You need to go watch it again. When you said something about Rob, Rob and Chance were singing at the same time. It was just their pitch and synchronization was so perfect, you only heard one voice. Go watch it again, and watch who is singing in that tiny square in the background, and you will see that both of the hem are singing. Not just Rob. No Music or beat to sync with, yet they do it so cleanly like it’s nothing.
I'm loving your Home Free journey. I'm sure everyone has filled you in on their 20+ year history (with some minor changes in personnel once they found their sound). They don't do a lot of 5 part harmony (without the beatboxing) so this is a special treat. I know we've missed ushering in the new year but their version of "Auld Lang Syne" will give you chills. I've seen them live several times and it is incredible to experience in person but I'm told that they have been known to close concerts with "Auld Lang Syne" and sing it off mike. I'd love to hear that but still, It's worth a listen, even if it is a little late. Have a blessed new year.
Yay, first! 😊 Happy new year! 🥳 This is such a beautiful version of this song! 😍 So many videos yet to watch: Home Free, Voiceplay, Pentatonix, Voctave, Peter Hollens, Nick Pitera, Musicality... Looking forward to your videos to come in 2023!! 🙂
As always love your reaction! They are all so talented! And they were meant to sing together as perfect as their harmonies are! Want to hear range on one of them check out “May Day”. Also they do a great “American Pie” with Don McLean and all take turns taking lead. Kinda showcases each of them.
Most Home Fries prefer if wait to do Mayday until you know the guys, can name them and their usual roles in the group. The surprises will be more obvious that way. May I also suggest doing their cover of Dire Straits’ Brothers in Arms first and then Mayday, for bigger impact.
long hair is Austin Brown. You should check out his cover of Bring Him Home. Also Austin and Rob (full beard and glasses) pulling off Nesum Dorma like PROS.
This, and their cover of Seven Bridges Road (Eagles ), are 2 of my most favorite covers for harmony!
Add Brother In Arms and you have a trifecta.
TALENT. Wow
I grew up with this song. This is absolutely an upgrade.
Home Free is the real deal!
They really do have some stellar harmonies. I love the original, too, and they really did it justice. Adam Rupp singing in his high tenor is truly a sweet addition. Great reaction too! 🙌

You are right, I've been to a few of their shows and their harmonies are just as beautiful live. Just one reason I keep going to their concerts.
Oh, yes. I just saw them in concert for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Totally blown away.
Just throw a dart at any of the 200 plus choices. You can't go wrong. You never know what the style, arrangement, lead or combination you are going to get. You just know it's going to be GOOD...
I'm going to recommend "Everybody Walkin' This Land" because it doesn't get enough coverage. Stay for Tim's Message at the end!
And all their side gigs, too!

Thank you for doing Home Free!!! The most talented 5 guy vocal group in the land! :) ^i^
I would recommend watching Austin Brown sing "Tears in Heaven" He has his own TH-cam channel where you can find it. Simply amazing.
they are just outstanding dude. there is just so much of them to listen too, each one is amazing. Country roads is amazing too if you like this
The group started in 2000 by brothers Chris and Adam Rupp They are the first and only known country a cappela group but they can honestly sing any genre. They won The Sing Off season 4 2013 that's where they became very popular.

Absolutely flawless.

Home Free went through numerous members through the years. Robb Lundquist was next permanent member after his previous acapella group disbanded . He joined in 2008. At that time, the members performed part time and held other jobs.

He had replaced Street Corner Symphony's bass after Tim had refused the position earlier. (Tim at the time had decided to quit a musical career and acapella). Chance quit Street Corner Symphony to join Home Free. He has a four octave range.
Thanks for the blessings. Very cool
It's so simple but definitely ear candy.
The are just as good live and even better sometimes. I'm looking foreward to their second consert in Norway this fall 🤗
So beautiful these guys are Magical
The band began in 2000 by Adam Rupp, the beatboxer, and his brother Chris, who left the band to go solo and do other endeavors in 2016, with the current members the same since then. Chance, who led of this song was Chris's replacement. Chance was with another A cappella band, Street Corner Symphony, in which he was the bass.
Street Corner Symphony came it 2nd in season 2 of The Sing-Off. I just saw their cover for the song Madness and was captivated.
I am a loyal Home Fry. The group was created by Adam Rupp and his brother Chris in 2000. Tim joined in 2012 and Austin in 2013. Chris left the group and was replaced by Chance and these five have been together since 2016.I have seen them live three times and they are just as good if not better. I brought my husband with me last year. He has the kind of ear where he can hear if a violin is out of tune. He said that he did not hear a single wrong note, mistake in pitch or anything else. That's incredibly difficult to do live. They are all talented musicians on their own, but together they are something else.
They sound just as good live! 22 years the band has been together. Adam Chance is the newest member, joined in 2016 when Adam Rupp 's brother , Chris left.
Just beautiful
Chance who started the song suggested it he is the latest addition to the group.
Happy New Year! Peace, Love!!
The best part of this performance is how they start and end together! Outstanding reaction and I agree with you how Home Free has a habit of covering a song and making it their own.
I love their version~!
You really need to check out Brothers in Arms. If you like bass you'll love this one. It's another one with all harmonies. It will blow your mind.
Tim sounds like a pipe organ
It’s so beautiful. One of my favorites. Chance (who started the song and directed this video) is the newest member and joined in 2016. The rest have been together since 2013. Adam Rupp, the beatboxer, started the band in 2000 (with his brother Chris). So, most of the group has been together 10 years. Other songs that are all voices are Brothers in Arms, How Great Thou Art, Auld Lang Syne (for New Year’s). They’re wonderful. Good reaction! Happy New Year!
Wow. I don’t think I’ve heard this song since high school, and that was a long time ago! I think I actually prefer this version. Home Free is just so dang talented, and I’m thrilled to find your reaction tonight. I think you love it as much as I do.
Although I am familiar with CS&N, I was not familiar with this song until I saw this video. It is so beautifully done. So clean and smooth. The 5 part harmony is phenomenal.
I jhave seen them live , they sound just as good live. They were on the Sing Off and one
Thank you for this great reaction. Home Free is amazing, each guy is incredibly talented on their own, put them altogether and you have a 'super group', I hope you just work your way through their body of work which is ever growing and I have not heard a bad one yet. They even make songs I don't like sound good.
You should listen to them in “ring of fire” and “let’s get it on”. Two of my favorites with them 🤩
I’ve seen them three times in concert and fourth coming in feb. I must say, they are truly gifted and amazing in person!!!!!!!!!!
Austin’s range in When a Man Loves a Woman is ridiculous! You should check it out if you haven’t yet!
There just isn't much to say about this. So good harmonies, so well sung! So different voices, but still one. So short but o so powerful
The harmonies are the part I always loved best about singing in a small group. It's one thing to be able to sing the melody, but another to breathe life by filling out the chords.
They been together from what I understand for 20 yrs. They are the very best in a cappella groups. Hands down. Their harmonies are as good as it gets along with having phenomenal timing with each other.
I would recommend watching some of their performances from the Sing Off. That was before Chance joined them.
Watch the ones with the panel's comments. So good and so fun.
All of the home free guys have amazing vocals. You mentioned about the bass who is Tim foust he can sing really low. I'd recommend home free "brothers in arms" and "ring of fire"
The Home Free rabbit hole is deep and has so many cool rooms. But as a Metal Vocalist, take a trip back to the roots. Joe Bonamassa is one of the best blues guitarists alive today, and Beth Heart has a voice with soul. Listen to their version of "I'd Rather Go Blind." You will love it.

Saw them on Dec 30th, here in Dallas. Although they didn't perform this particular song (it was a holiday show), they sound really good live. You wouldn't be disappointed seeing them live. Thank you for reacting to them... you're now a "Home Frie"
This really shows off the harmonies. So beautiful
❤️
Bro... welcome to the rabbit hole! Sooo many to choose from!
I think their cover of dire straits song brothers in arms is a masterpiece
You should also listen to "One Man Band" by them.
I agree, One man Band, one of my favorites
Yes, Tim and that bass
I love these guys, they are the best acapella group
If you have some time and really want to know their history, there are multiple episodes on the ChrisRuppOfficial YT channel. There are some pretty funny stories to be heard. Also, for in depth on Tim, he does a great interview on The Charismatic Voice that is well worth a listen.
We saw them live in Boise Idaho. They’re amazing.
Check out the show The Sing Off which was an a cappella competition which aired I believe in December 2009! Home Free won it in season 4 which I believe was 2013 or 2014! You will see how they have grown and improved over the years. They are such a humble and authentic group! Thanks!
I had the chance to hear them in person this year. They are wonderful and funny too. Could have sat and listened for another 90 minutes. You have got to go.
Saw the fellas live at the beginning of December '22 and they were great. Didn't do this song, unfortunately, but based on how everything else sounded, they would have nailed this one, too.
Try BROTHERS IN ARMS or LOVE TRAIN very different but both great
Just saw them recently.. they are great
Always clean and concise.
There is one live version out there on YT that you can find just by searching (fan made video). They rarely did this one live. My guess is because even though it sounds simple, it's technically very hard as they are breathing the same, pronouncing the words the same, and all that jazz. The live version is without mics but they do quiet the audience down first so they can be heard.
A little late coming in here but I have also seen these guys live and they are this tight in person. They have done this live and there is video of it. But also, if you want to check out more of Austin Brown's range, he has a solo channel where he sings Bring him home from Les Misérables. It's phenomenal. He is trained in musical theater.
The beat❤
I would think it hard to match the several takes in the studio with time and thought in all the very tight blend, other considerations .... they are GREAT !!! GBjj
the opening between adam and rob makes me goosebumps
I’ve heard them live off mike. It was awesome.
Love that you did this reaction and Happy New Year to you too. Agree with you that it is the 2.0 version. It is so clean. Austin is the guy with long hair and does a killer lead on Home Free’s cover of When A Man Loves A Woman. Thank you so much!
Bass Tim Foust actually has the widest range of the four singers at 5+ octaves. Tenor Austin Brown's range is just under five octaves. In any case, this song is HF's masterpiece. The exhibition of their expertise is exquisite. This isn't talent, it is talent scrubbed and polished by years of effort into SKILL.
According to Tim Adam Rupp has the most range and if Tim says it believe it
@@ronfuqua2117 Rupp wasn't included because he doesn't sing often enough.
If you haven't seen it you need to watch Ring of Fire with Avi from pentatonix and Homefree, it's amazing. If you want to see both pentatonix and homefree's beginnings, you need to watch The Sing Off. Pentatonix is season 3 and Homefree is season 4. It's like 11 or 12 songs per group but you will learn so much about how both groups got started, and watch them grow into what they are today. Have a Blessed New Year.
Love these guys so much! ❤❤❤
I am subbing because i love the way you appreciate my favorite group. There are so many things to love about Home Free. They are genuinely great humans who actually like each other, the music is so important to them. There is not an ego in the bunch, and they give so much to us fans. Keep the Home Free coming!!!
There is a live recorded by an audient, and guess what? They didnot even use mic, but just sang out loud! Please search "Home Free Helplessly Hoping Live at the Ryman October 2019".
You definitely need to hear home frees version of Seven Bridges Road
You need to go watch it again. When you said something about Rob, Rob and Chance were singing at the same time. It was just their pitch and synchronization was so perfect, you only heard one voice. Go watch it again, and watch who is singing in that tiny square in the background, and you will see that both of the hem are singing. Not just Rob. No
Music or beat to sync with, yet they do it so cleanly like it’s nothing.
The two originals started in high school? But the group won the same competition show that Pentatonix did- The Sing Off Season 4.
Terrific reaction - thank you.
Every note is so precise. They don't need to be loud.
My fav from Rob..End of the Road..☺️
Happy New Year 🎉
I am thoroughly enjoying your Home Free reactions and will be here for more.
Have a great 2023
I'm loving your Home Free journey. I'm sure everyone has filled you in on their 20+ year history (with some minor changes in personnel once they found their sound). They don't do a lot of 5 part harmony (without the beatboxing) so this is a special treat. I know we've missed ushering in the new year but their version of "Auld Lang Syne" will give you chills. I've seen them live several times and it is incredible to experience in person but I'm told that they have been known to close concerts with "Auld Lang Syne" and sing it off mike. I'd love to hear that but still, It's worth a listen, even if it is a little late. Have a blessed new year.
Happy New Year to you to 🎉 beautiful song!! Great reaction! I love Home Free😊
Yay, first! 😊 Happy new year! 🥳
This is such a beautiful version of this song! 😍 So many videos yet to watch: Home Free, Voiceplay, Pentatonix, Voctave, Peter Hollens, Nick Pitera, Musicality... Looking forward to your videos to come in 2023!! 🙂
Voctave and Mark Lowry singing Mary Did You Know!!! Amazing!!
As always love your reaction! They are all so talented! And they were meant to sing together as perfect as their harmonies are! Want to hear range on one of them check out “May Day”. Also they do a great “American Pie” with Don McLean and all take turns taking lead. Kinda showcases each of them.
To really appreciate Mayday, he needs to be more familiar with their individual voices.
@@lindajones5408 maybe…..this isn’t your typical reactor though.
@@kimmillard6915 also Tin"s range is no longer the secret it was since he released Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow/Stay the cat is out the bag
Most Home Fries prefer if wait to do Mayday until you know the guys, can name them and their usual roles in the group. The surprises will be more obvious that way. May I also suggest doing their cover of Dire Straits’ Brothers in Arms first and then Mayday, for bigger impact.
long hair is Austin Brown. You should check out his cover of Bring Him Home. Also Austin and Rob (full beard and glasses) pulling off Nesum Dorma like PROS.
