- Hello Singderellos,
In this video, I react for the first time to Home Free performing ‘Man Of Constant Sorrow’. In this video, I analyse their magnificent performances, explain and demonstrate their vocal techniques and I'll tell you what I think made it so great. After Pentatonix, this is my 2nd stop on the A Capella train!

anyone else like the movie version better, with George Clooney?
It rained on them during the filming of the video. You'll notice Rob (the man in the overalls) is slightly damp as well.
I find it fascinating that humans are able to create sounds with their mouths that so closely mimic the sounds of instruments. It begs the question: which came first - the skill of singing lyrics, or musical instruments?
Hear me out: if singing came first, it would seem natural to progress to using the voice to make non-lyrical musical sounds with the result that beat-boxing would be common-place in most if not all cultures and musical instruments would be very sparse I mean, why the need to create instruments if you can create all kinds of fun sounds with the voice, to complement singing? Of course music would sound very different because we wouldn't be beat-boxing to mimic instruments that don't exist because we never created them.. But we don't see that. We see humans limiting the voice to lyrical sounds and using instruments to create other sounds.
On the other hand if instruments came first, it would make sense that we mostly limit the use of the voice to just conveying lyrics since we have instruments to create other musical effects. It would also suggest that instruments were perhaps invented a very, very, very long time ago, perhaps just as humans were starting to develop complex language. Maybe our vocal abilities back then were too limited for us to even perform the vocal feats we can do today. Perhaps singing actually developed as the lyrical mimicking of an ancient wind instrument ...which would make singing the first beat-boxing ... that maybe never progressed beyond that because it was really popular as its own thing.
Or maybe singing emerged from story-telling. Maybe ancient proto humans would entertain themselves by telling stories and that progressed to the point of incorporating primitive instruments for sound effects - drums, sticks, bows, etc. to make the stories come alive. You could see how the use of drums could maybe result in story tellers eventually developing a rhythm to match the drums. Then maybe while telling a story a story teller was mimicking someone talking while crying it sounded beautiful to them and so this idea caught on.
you should react to the actor doing all of the sound effects by mouth in police academy.
Love this react and analysis of the physical aspects of producing these sounds! A couple of thoughts:
When the whole group slides up several notes, they are perfectly synched: not just on when they start and stop but also *as they slide up the notes*. I had a visual of some 70's documentary where they show in a studio control booth someone with five fingers on five slider bar buttons moving them all up exactly together, like you could set a ruler on top of them and no button would be dropping below the ruler as the slide up happens. That's what these guys did with their voices, and it's not an easy thing to be that in-synch. So cool.
Other thought on the contrast between the first two lead singers' voices:
First singer (center, with hat)---even though he has a tenor (?) voice, it feels like his resonance starts more in his chest---around his heart maybe---and he's fairly open in his mouth cavity and nasal passages, and changing (shape, shallow or more rounded) in mouth cavity, to create some variety in the sounds. The second guy (no hat, with beard), if feels like his resonance is nearly all up in his head, and his mouth cavity is shallower somehow---so his... tone?/timbre?/texture? (I'm not sure of the correct term) is lighter and brighter, if all this makes sense.
And the third lead part from the bass singer... his also resonates a lot in his chest (deeper than first singer)... BUT, when the sound gets to his mouth he's flattening it out a bit, I think, with mouth cavity and how much or little he's directing through/using his nasal passages---and it's a pretty typical technique for Southern U.S. region singing (I grew up there). "Country" singing tends to utilize the nasal passages a LOT.
The harmonica dude... OMG. Amazing. You mentioned the instrument sound at the end being like a digeridoo---which it is something like, and I hadn't thought of---but I *think* the sound was meant to mimic a jaw harp---an instrument that was somewhat common in at least older "country" music.
I suck at the music theory side (identifying chords, keys, etc.), but grew up surrounded by music, so a lot of this stuff, for me, is just "by ear and having experienced it"... and I absolutely LOVE that you not only mention the theory/written music side of it, but ALSO get very much into the *physical* means of producing the sounds, and notice so many bits and pieces of it, in a performance you're analyzing! Like in your video on Geoff how you explained not just the vocal fry but also tension/relaxation of vocal cords, and in this one your explanation of yodeling. It's so much fun getting into the physical mechanics of "how person is producing this sound, notice this difference" etc. And your reacts are also really fun! Thanks for these great videos!
Have y'all noticed that no matter how mad the singers' skills are or how varied their voice is, she can imitate every single effing one of them. Madly underrated skills. I love Lolli so much.
🥹 love you too 💜💜💜
Yeah I noticed. She can also play piano. AND she’s funny, has a cute smile and is sexy as hell. Just sayin’.
Absoloodle 🩷
I noticed that in the first video I saw her do. They say Mozart saw notes/music I think she’s savant in that she sees music with her ear/brain connection and can immediately reproduce it exactly…I to am impressed 👍🏻
Ditto yeppp and yesss @@charleshayman4083
Love all the comments you say and am in AWE of all the beautiful sounds you create 😍 great breakdown and reaction!
Collab Time! ;)
She is pretty amazing in being able to duplicate most sounds and techniques she hears on the spot!
@@DavidSmith-pg1ob They are both pretty amazing singers/vocal coaches.
Hey Jennifer, you're a pretty great reactor yourself. Nice to see you supporting TFVM. Respect.
The two of you need to do a collaboration with Danielle Marie Sings... You all seem to like acappella!
THE BEST reaction video I've seen to DATE YET on / of this tune... Her analysis PLUS her own musical / vocal abilities PAIRED with her delivery is BRILLIANT !!!
I agree completely , she knows wassup ..
With no explanation as to why, I have watched COUNTLESS hours of reactions videos to Chris Stapleton, Home Free, etc. Of all my endless hours watching, you have had the most in depth, funny, and creative ways of using your knowledge and EXCELLENT voice to help describe to us what we’re hearing from these excellent voices. Thank you very much for your dedication to editing your videos in such a way that keeps us entertained and coming back!
If you liked the bass part, his name is Tim Foust. Try listening to "Misty Mountains", from the Hobbit, by Peter Hollens ft. Tim Foust. Just the two of them with over 100 layers of voice. OMG!!!!
I love me some bass, but misty mountains seemed like a snooze fest to me. I missed the hype I guess lol
Or ring of fire
Came here to say the same thing!!
Do this one!!
Definitely worth a reaction. It's something else and is just stunning--chills guaranteed.
YES!!!
I've have seen many "Reactors" view this video, but you have them all beat. What an enthusiastic reaction, that was just so much fun to watch. Thank you so much for checking out Home Free.
Bass turns the girl on
I. Love. Lolly. This is the perfect space to showcase her obvious talent, knowledge, and skills. AND, just all the Lollyness!
rl
🤘👹🤘
With you on this. Only seeing this now, and yeah. Yeah
absolutely my favorite too!
You are a cheeky critter, aren't you!? I have watched a ton of reactors to this specific video and I must say yours has been one of the most amusing and informative as well. Your edits are absolutely amazing as well.
You're the first reaction I've heard that appreciated the harmonica as much as I do. That's a phenomenal skill, and you're an excellent observer. Thank you.
Excellent reaction. Home Free is indeed something very very special. They do all genres better than most groups with instruments and their original stuff is spectacular too. For variety: R&B "End of The Road", Old School "When A Man Loves A Woman", Gospel "How Great Thou Art", Funny "Butts Medley, Country "Take Me Home Country Roads", POP "Can't Stop The Feeling" Original "Dive Bar Saints,
Surprises "Mayday". There's about 180 more to go....it's a great rabbit hole.
Great recommendations Cavamom. Nicely done.
Don't forget more harmonica in Folsom prison blues and Ain't Going Down Til The Sun Comes Up
That was such a great reaction. You spotted almost all the critical features on the first go! The record crackle at the start is also a vocal sound effect. Chance's (Adam Chance, dark waistcoat) overtones were used to simulate a jaw harp or Jew's harp - a tiny metal harp body with a flappy spring that you pluck while you hum through it. You spotted him doing that. No one catches that the first time! The actual instrument probably costs $5 but they are purists, so overtones.
You also explained how the blues scale gives you those big home notes. At a certain level I felt it, but I never understood what was happening.
You even partially replicated the harmonica sound in moments! That never happens either.
Yep, their vowels are so together and the rothic R is in character for this southern US song that originated around 1900 or 1910. The arrangement, especially the percussion, is a little more modern than the original, but they tried to stay in original character as much as possible. Austin Brown (first lead) has learned to somewhat un-southern his speech so non-southerners can understand him, so this is him dialing it back a little.
I also appreciate how you are so emotionally engaged to the music. Tim Foust's bass lead made your whole body shiver.
Yes, Adam Rupp, a founding member, has dug deep into vocal sound effects. He does a full drum kit, the harmonica and many other sounds like dubstep drops, jet planes and castanets. Because he embraces so many techniques, he technically has the widest range of the whole group. There is a video on it.
You did not hear much from Chance on this song. He is the newest member from about 2015. He has some great leads on other songs. For example he takes the first lead after Don Mclean on their collaboration for the 50th anniversary remake of American Pie. It is a difficult lead and he does it beautifully. If you want more harmonica, their Workin For A Livin is funny and has a great solo. The most insane harmonica part is on their recent Ain't Goin Down that is currently only on their facebook page. It is also a very aggressive and fun song.
Slaps you upside the head and runs you over, so strap in. Please don't do Mayday until you've learned the group better. It will be more fun if you wait.
I love Chance's voice! He isn't really featured here, but check out "Folsom Prison Blues" and "Blue Ain't Your Color" to hear Chance featured.
Leave some stuff for other people to say....jk...great comment.
Another song that features Chance well is "helplessly hoping". Which is a fantastically stripped down song that shows their perfected fundamentals of a capella. And the arrangement is simply superb, (and it's also a rare chance to see the other Adam,[Rupp], actually sing as well).
We must have the same sense of humor.
"He's a harMANica " and
"Was he damPP before?"
Really got me lol
you miss are an audiophile! You have got the most precise analysis for vocal range I have ever heard. You have a great vocal range and your knowledge is insane! you are brilliant. I am not doing justice to how brilliant your vocal talent is! Please forgive me!
Home Free are definitely something else - They have two stellar tenors. Austin Brown, in the middle is actually the high tenor with a cristal clear nearly soprano range, Rob Lundquist (beard and glasses) is the lead tenor he a very warm soulful timbre. Adam Chance, left side back, is their baritone but can easily cover bass when their bass is taking the lead. Their beatboxer, who founded the group with his brother when they were still at school is Adam Rupp, there is a reason he is called "freak of nature" or "human drumkit" and his "no-monica" is one of kind - if you are impressed by his "harmonica" you should watch his drum solo, it's unbelievable. Tim Foust the bass is a genuine rare basso profundo (deepest of basses) and you haven't heard anything yet - during concerts he litteraly rattles floors, chairs, the audience and when he hits really low takes sound-systems out and he has an unbelievable 5 octave range up to a tenor. Anyone takes lead who suits the song in this group what makes them incredibly versatile and even though they are a ™country band" they tackle anything and their harmonies are a tight as you can get. The 5 of them can produce a sound similar to huge pipe organ (if you watch their cover of Brothers in Arms you will understand). But more that anything these guys are down to earth and they can go from serious to completely hilarious from one song to another, they are born comedians (especially Tim Foust), a lot of their videos are legendary hilarious. You just scratched the surface.
Adam Rupp is a awesome Tenor too
Loved the reaction. As others have said, "Ring of Fire" with Avi from Pentatonix is cool (two bases). A few others of theirs's you might like are "One Man Band", "Sea Shanty Medley", "Honey, I'm Good", "All about that base" and "Butts Remix" (really funny). And after you get to really know the band, give "Mayday" a try - it will blow your mind!
The "Butts Remix" from Home Free is controversial. I thought it was hilarious (and I thought their cover of Rich Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" was one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time). Some people have been offended by the Butts Remix, though. I wasn't one of them, but it's not one I recommend until you know Home Free better.
All very good suggestions but please don't forget "Brothers in Arms".
Butts Remix is legendary!
@@janhankins911 Considering the humor thoughout this entire video, I hardly think she's the type to be offended by a song about butts lmao
Definitely wait on Mayday. it's my personal favorite, but the longer you wait the more it will blow your mind.
Also check "Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" with Peter Hollins.
THAT was the best explanation of Adam Rupp's ghost harmonica playing I've seen.. and for a second? HEARD. You actually did it for a second. First time I've seen your reaction video, and my reaction, to your reaction, just 3:34 in? Brilliant.
I'd love to hear you react to Felix Irwan's cover of Adele's "When we were young". I'm wagering I'm not alone here.
Back to it..
Right? I watch a ton of vocal coach reactions, and she's the only one who not understands how he's doing it, but actually managed to DO it. Immediately. Amazing.
"You are a wind instrument my friend!" Ahahahaha I love how passionate you get
Brilliant reaction, analysis, and demonstration as usually! Have you not heard Ring of Fire yet? That's a must!
It's hard to go wrong with Home Free songs in general. For more of that bass: Brothers in Arms, Ring of Fire, Sold/Hillbilly Bone... save Mayday for a fun day. Another group you might be interested in: Voiceplay.
What's nice about their UA-cam release of Ring of Fire is that Foust pairs off with Avi Kaplan and they have similar vocal ranges (though clearly Tim's range is a bit wider) but radically different tonal qualities. But I don't think any bass out there is more experimental than Geoff Castellucci of Voice Play. He really makes the most out of every note in his repertoire, especially on a song like Blackbird (though I prefer listening to his rendition of Misty Mountains or 16 Tons).
@@MichaelSullivanCincinnatux Try going to Tomi P's channel and listen to Hellfire... his range is even wider than Geoff's on both ends of the scale... or check out Marwan Ayman who at 17 to Geoff's 40+ has hit a B0 in a video released to the public, The Emperor's New Clothes (Panic At The Disco) performed by The Bass Gang. Lord help us when he gets to 40.
@@gingerjohnson1095 Thanks for the recommendation. His subharmonics were crazy. What really surprised me is that his speaking voice is clearly that of a baritone, not a bass at all. I'm not sure how someone with vocal cords thick enough to hit the contrabass lines would not carry that same weight in a normal speaking tone, too. I'll give Tomi P more of a listen. Thanks again!
@@MichaelSullivanCincinnatux And actually you can thank Tim Foust for Geoff. They met while on the Sing Off. Tim knew Geoff had much more potential than he was showing, so he met with Geoff, and taught him the Dragon secrets. They have been good friends ever since, and Geoff has done a lot of arrangements for Home Free.
So... after falling down the rabbit hole of Home Free videos, I am now next door at the rabbit hole of people reacting to Home Free. Yours is the most enjoyable one I've seen. Lots of honest surprise followed by good musical education. Love it. Welcome to the wonderful world of Home Free. I'm sure every one else has given you recommendations of what to watch next. One that I don't see mentioned much is Love Me Like That, which I found very enjoyable and a totally different vibe from Constant Sorrow. Also take a look at their solo work. You will be properly amazed. Have fun on the journey.
You look Absolutely Beautiful for this video. You do a wonderful job of explaining what's going on, without being boring.
And, demonstrate many of the techniques!
You are the first reactor to these guys that explained the method of Adam Rupp producing theharmonica effect. Actually you were more clear about it than even he was when he explained it. Good job! You have my subscription.
Now for the fun part.
All of the members are capable of taking the lead on most songs (with the exception of Adam Rupp through personal choice) and according to them they will sing through the songs with different lead singers then the group decides which lead works best. They all have very flexable vocal range although in this song they are staying in their happy place. In different songs they are fun to watch. Check out their cover of "Helplessly Hoping", "How great thou art" "American Pie", "When a man loves a woman", "End of the road". "Folsum Prison blues". They have enough to keep you busy.
Home Free, P.T.X and Voice Play have the best basses and tenors in a capella in this video Tim Foust the bass has a 5 octave range from g1 to clear f4 . Welcome to a new rabbit hole Home Free has 160+ videos on UA-cam and all the guys can really sing including the beet boxer. Wonderful rendition.
B0-A5 is Tim's range.
Fairy Voice Mother, I absolutely love your voice.... 😘
I've watched a lot of reactions of this song. I'm pretty sure you've done the best job at figuring out what Adam is doing for that "harmonica" sound.
Seen lots of very talented voice coaches react to this one. But this was the best one yet. Love your energy. And you have amazing control of your own instrument. I really hope you keep doing these, because you bring new life and perspective to every performance you react to.
The "didgeridoo" sound was meant to sound like a "Jaw Harp" - an old Southern instrument.
It's basically a plucked metal rod that you hold against your face so your mouth can provide resonance and variance.
And I say "Southern" in that that's the part of the US where it's most popular. I'm pretty sure it's available globally by other names.
Bloody delightful to see you loving every little nuance of vocal brilliance no matter how miniscule.
First time on your channel and I was glued to my seat with your review. So Good. You are fun, and I subscribed so I can see more of your reviews and other content. I loved it when you were listening to the 'harmonica' solo, and then Tim started his bass line. Your reaction was priceless. "Ohhhh, I'm not ready for you, yet". lol
If you want more of Austin's yodeling, check out their cover of "All About That Bass". Fun video.
His yodeling in "All About That Bass" is VERY natural and fluid.
Or "Thanks God I'm a country boy", he's yoddeling a lot more in this one, even if both songs are great.
I'm unsure if you noticed it or not. But at the end of Tim's (bass) verse when they're singing "while he is sleeping in his grave". He sings it an octave down in the harmonic register.
Missed it the first time I heard it. But once you hear it, you can't un-hear it :P
I love your enthusiasm.
😉"Ooh! He winked at me...😊" That's fantastic! You're rapidly becoming my favorite reactor. Not only can you teach, but you can do as well!
One of my favorite songs is when Home Free sing Alvira with The Oak Ridge Boys. The harmonies are awesome and they had so much fun doing it.
Elvira*
"Didgeridon't!" LOL. These guys are fantastic. You should check out their cover of Helplessly Hoping. Your next stop on the Voice-Only Express should probably be Voiceplay's cover of Oogie Boogie's Song from the movie The Nightmare Before Christmas. It's a treasure trove of masterful vocals, including character voices and the insane range of Geoff Castellucci! Wonderful analysis, Lolli.
Oogie Boogie is a good place to start with Voice Play. It's the first cover I ever heard them do. Basically, you can't go wrong with much of anything Pentatonix, Home Free, Voice Play, Voctave, or Peter Hollens do. They are all brilliant, as far as I'm concerned.
Oggie Boogie is such a basket of awesome vocal techniques, always alway amazing. Never get tired of it
Oogie boogie is a great intro to Voiceplay. If you do that one consider listening to the Nightmare before Christmas version so you can see how they adapted the characters of the original.
The "Didgerido" is a Jews Harp. Best example i can think of is the intro to The Whos' "Join Together".
@@russellmorgan5611 Thx for the reply. I used to use the term "Jew's harp" back in the day, too. I believe it's currently known as a "jaw harp", which is a more accurate term for its function and doesn't unintentionally keep a false racial stereotype alive.
You got me thinking about how rare it is to hear jaw harp outside of country music. I kinda wish it was used more. I don't recognize the title of that Who song, so I'm gonna hop over and listen right now. (edit)Of course! "Join Together with the band." I love this song! (edit closed) Great catch on IDing the instrument being simulated.
Worth watching a second time your priceless Ms .
This is, far & away THE best reaction/explanation I've seen on all of UA-cam. Normally? I don't like when songs are interrupted too many times, but your information, your own talent, and your excellent knowledge in both vocals and singing, coupled with your excellent sense of humor, made this time well spent, which I greatly thank you for.
I'll definitely be back- Subscribed & belled.
"Helplessly Hoping" has as near as perfect harmonies as I have ever heard. They do more than just country.
"I'm not ready for you yet."
"You are a wind instrument, my friend!"
"He's a har-MAN-ica!"
The wit is strong with this one! 😉
As always a fun analysis from you FGM! Your obvious musical delight and enjoyment, colour coordination, imitative capacity, and smooth segues into vocal tips in the middle of analysis, stand you out. I wish you much channel growth, quickly!
Not sure if you've reacted to them yet, but I would recommend Maytree (a South Korean acappella group) singing "Colours of the Wind". They are two ladies and three men. You get to hear some instrument imitation as well.
Loll not to mention the Tinder bio 🤣 she's great!
Loved the reaction!
"How Great Thou Art". Gorgeous.
Adam Rupp, the "human harmonica" there never gets enough respect from reactors for the absolute BEAST that he is. I appreciate that you really emphasized his performance. If you listen through this solo live performance, you really get to hear a lot of his range - he's extraordinary! ua-cam.com/video/LUSvD2c-y2M/v-deo.html
thank you for the link
The problem is he's compared in contrast to Kevin way too much when their talents are different. Both are exceptional in their own rights, but Kevin is more percussion-driven whereas Adam is more voice tone manipulation
Human Harmonica, Human (whatever that sound at the beginning was), Human Drumset, Human Turntable, overall crazy range between his falsetto and whistle high notes and his chest fry, dudes crazy.
@@upsidedownpyramid7617 The mouthharp sound at the beginning was throat singing by the other Adam, (Chance)
The group does a number of spiritual numbers and covers of classic tunes. You won't be disappointed by any of them. Also, Peter Hollens and Tim Foust have done some arrangements together that bring both their ranges to the fore. Happy listening!!
YOU ARE AWESOME!! Best Reaction by a Vocal Coach I have seen...Ever!! You are so talented. You explain it all so well and then actually show your talents by being able to mimic them. You are on your way to STARDOM. Shoot, I'll write you a song to partner with your shooting star. Keep up the AMAZING work!! You are 1 in a billion. I've literally seen over 1000 "Opera, Vocal Coach, Musician) reactions and this one taught me something. Thank you!! By the way, your remarks are super funny, like, I am to old to roll around on the floor laughing, but I was definitely laughing out loud. I needed that joy today and will follow and subscribe. Have a great day to all of you here!! Isn't @TheFairyVoiceMother the best!!!!
Lolli I just noticed that after watching this video my face hurt from smiling so much. You’re amazing and I wish you all the success in the world.
“A few bloody goes” Oh my I would so enjoy a pint or two with this woman in an English pub!
Another fabulous analysis Lolli! One thing I'm noticing recently (not sure how many, if any, of the other vocal coaches on YT you watch) is that quite a few of the top Vocal Coach reactors (with massive subscriber counts) are starting to up their game and using many of the technical descriptions you've introduced us all to!
I'd almost guarantee they're watching you and thinking "Oh s**t she's GOOD". Keep doing what you're doing - you're the best!
And yes, I'm now trying to sound like a harmonica as we speak 🤣
Oh yeah! Th Fairy Godmother is coming! I am looking forward to her channel growth and studio upgrade.
Austin (the lead in the hat) really goes to town with the yodel in "It's all about that bass". And you'll get a good laugh from the video as well as they mirror Meghan Trainor's video with hilarious effect.
Soon as I heard this I NEEDED to hear YOUR reaction. You didn’t disappoint. Love this group. Can’t wait for more. Oh, and Multi-hole manipulator? Yeah. Ok. 🥰
Never before have I been more focused on a persons reaction to the music then the music itself. You do an outstanding job and explain how sounds are created and reproduce yourself is so entertaining it keeps me looking for more content from you. Keep up the excellent work and is there a chance we can hear some of your own work?
right ??!!
Home Free provides quite the rabbit hole for you to tumble down. They're all supremely talented. Some of their hits are When a Man Loves a Woman, Ring of Fire, All About That Bass, Brothers in Arms. Towards the top of your list should be Helplessly Hoping. That one is an amazing showcase of their intricate harmonies, even if it is far too short of a track. After you get about a half dozen or so songs under your belt, you should then check out their cover of Mayday. Once you hear it you'll see why it demands you wait until you have more experience with the group overall. Loved your reaction as always! So glad you've set on your way to becoming a Home Fry! 😄 Their lead tenor, Ausitn, and their bass, Tim Foust, both have put out a good bit of solo work that's worth your time too.
Welcome to the rabbit hole of home Free! I'm sure you will find out how rabid the fans of home Free are! They have a selection of almost 200 songs to choose from! You can hardly go wrong with any of them! I would suggest for your next selection to be the end of the road cover from boys to Men!
Old time mountain music is where blues originated, great video as always luvs!
You've got an unusual way of explaining what they're doing, and a marvelous voice as well! What a fun and informative reaction!
YOU are just so much fun to watch, it's unbelievable!!! My sister was in the other room screaming to me, "What the hell is going on in there!?!" I was laughing so much and, so loud that she didn't know what was going on in my room!!! Thank you my love keep up the great reactions your, AMAZING!!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!
"Any hole, from the neck up"?? FV Mother..... could we get a stereophonic effect if the ears are used?? Could you demonstrate?? lol What a bundle of joy you are!!
I love the way you explain all this. My brother is a voice coach with his doctorate from the Univ of Minnesota... and I'm used to listening to him. VERY nice to hear someone from across the pond do this so well for a country song. My brother trains opera... he won't touch country.
Have you showed him Austin and Rob doing Opera?
They did a Fabulous "Nessun Dorma"!!!!!
These guys are a complete set of talent and can do any type of music 🎶
Peoples 1st time reaction to this group, it will never get old
As always, I am loving your reaction! I have to say your take on their techniques and abilities is spot on and has shown me things that I didn't see before. So great to have a Fairy Voice Mother around 😁🥰
Now that you have scratched the surface of their abilities and repertoire, I recommend a deep dive into Home Free.
You’re the first reactor to understand how their beatboxer plays the nomonica. While this is one of their most viewed videos, I recommend the following to really start to grasp their musicality:
1 “In The Blood”
2 “Brothers In Arms”
3 “ Helplessly Hoping”
4 “How Great Thu Art”
5 “When A Man Loves A Women”
6. “Amazed”
And so many more.
Your voice is fricking amazing lady❤
Home free has SO MANY great songs. Please consider doing more
Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole. Us fans are called Home Fries and we're a bit obsessed with our boys.
Song suggestions are ; Helplessly Hoping, I Can't Outrun You, Down to the Honky-tonk, Folsom Prison Blues, Dreamer, and so many others.
Thanks for the in depth reaction.
Oh this was fun! Austin (lead here) can yodel, Chance (last guy on camera) was doing the mouth harp, Adam (beatboxer) can do a mean harmonica, drums and all those other crazy noises. Rob (glasses) can beatbox, well they all can. Tim, bass, has a 5 octave range so he can sing in the basement and sing up in the attic. He’s amazing. Home Free won the NBC show the Sing Off the season (2013) after Pentatonix won. They are country but sing all genres of music. Try Helplessly Hoping, One Man Band, Country Roads, I Can’t Outrun You. They all take the lead depending on the song. And they have a wicked sense of humor. Great reaction FVM!😃 Oh, try Adam Rupp Drum Solo (2015). He’s amazing!!!
Just recently discovered your channel. You are a very clear, insightful / educational, and damn funny reactor. You deserve to have 100x the number of subscribers that you currently have. Oh... and "hello" from Canada !! 😁👋
Hello Miss Ma'am.
Again, just "So Much Fun!!" Thank you.
You have an Amazing Voice yourself and I love the way you break everything down.
Stay Blessed!
Thank You for the very intelligent and informed reaction, especially the respect you gave to our Beat Boxer Extraordinaire Adam Rupp. Also, your humor and wit is spot on, and we are told this group has a blast singing together. I hope they see this reaction.
If you enjoyed the harmonica, try “Ain’t Going Down Til the Sun Comes Up”
Loved your reaction!!! I subscribed and smashed the like button!!!
To this day, I cannot understand why don't have 1 million subscribers! You are are certainly on par with the Charismatic Voice, Julia Nilon, etc. and sometimes better with you very thorough analysis of the songs that you do here on You Tube... (This particular song by Home Free included)... and I love your sense of humor/wit too... and your beautiful eyes!
You also have a pretty amazing voice yourself!
The instrument sounds, and the background sounds in this song are both incredible and mesmerizing... incredible TALENT from these five gentlemen. Austin and Rob are both superb tenors, and I appreciate the similarities and differences in the approach to vocals. Chance's jaw harp sound is quite good... we don't need to discuss the out of this world skills and talent of Adam Rupp... with his human harmonica sound and the human drum kit rendition. Last, but not least is Tim Foust with his basso profundo skills... even at such a deep/low level, Time still has such clarity in his voice... he makes it look almost effortlessly.
I truly appreciate you Fairy Voice Mother.
Health, Joy, Peace and Blessings to all!!!
I loved your reactions to Home Free's "Man of Constant Sorrow". You obviously have a lot of knowledge of music, vocals, and how the different sounds are made, and you did an excellent impromptu re-creation of many of them! Although it doesn't have as many unique "treats" in it, I'd like to see your reaction to Home Free's "Seven Bridges Road". I love the harmonies in it.
Was actually unaware of this whole group, as usual, your channel is criminally underrated, keep making stuff like this and when you do break out, people are going to have one hell of a library of good content to go back through.
I've watched your reaction to this at least 10 times since you posted it almost a year ago lol! 😍 my absolute favorite reaction to this song!
You are brilliant! You make learning vocal techniques hilarious. New Follower😊
Great reaction and happy that you're on the acapella train! Definitely listen to their "End of the Road" cover, the runs that Rob (the hatless guy with beard) can do is just amazing :D
Really loved the reaction, especially your knowledge/explanation of the voice and sounds. I enjoy this type of reaction. WARNING: The Home Free rabbit hole is very deep but rewarding... Enjoy!
I love watching your videos vs other reactions. You are so excitable and seem very happy. Very good delivery of the technical information while still making it fun to listen to. I feel happier after watching your videos
the scary thing is that I truly understood what you were saying. I am fortunate to have been classically trained and had to unconventional choir directors that stretched us to understand music in an unconditional way. You were spot on.
HELLO GORGEOUS!! 💜 I do so hope you enjoyed my analysis of Home Free!
UPDATE: I have finally come to place where I can afford to produce one video a week 🤩The support you have show me makes this possible. It helps me afford to dedicate 2 days a week to filming and editing. So thank you so so SO much to everyone that helps me in Patreon and Buy Me A Coffee - you make this all possible and therefore, my dreams come true. 🥳
Keep your suggestions coming, I promise they are all counted.
Have the best day 🧚🏼♀
Love you forever,
Lolli xo
Hi Noble Fairy, were you born with a synthesizer in your throat? Enjoyed your reaction thoroughly.Please consider reacting to Ernie Zakri 'Ku Bersuara' live at AJL34. Much love and respect from Malaysia.
You R Wonderful 🤗 Extremely t🅰lented + knowledge🅰ble .
Hello Gorgeous , i enjoyed you so much I'm subbing to see you more love your accent. Makes me homesick
Now you have to react to the third member of the A Capella triumvirate, Voiceplay. Currently they have just four members, but they normally feature a guest artist. May I suggest their recent release "The Dragonborn Comes - Skyrim". These people are the Musical Theatre, to Home Free's Country, and Pentatonix's Pop.
Some very unusual to react
ua-cam.com/video/f9eWhArLrSM/v-deo.html
Tuvinian(russian region near Mongolia) singer Saidash Mongush. That's ethnic "throat singing" technics.There is not instrument, in begining and final. This is human voice :)
Straight after his Deep section, there is another section where he drops another whole octave but it blends very well into the bassline that most people don't catch it.
Very few catch it & it makes me crazy because it's incredible! 😊
People miss it!?!? No way!
@@adina35mm Yeah, most of the reactions I've seen don't notice it. Either because they don't believe it, or because the speakers / earphones they are using don't play deep enough.
@Jack T. I tend to judge a reactor's acumen by whether said reactor notes Tim's 1 octave drop. But there are other possible reasons for ignoring Tim's drop besides flat out missing it. For one, a regular fan of HomeFree might shrug it off as Tim being Tim. Also, no reactor can possibly comment on everything, and must choose what to include in their analysis. So maybe other parts of this song were deemed more worthy of comment. Meaning that I myself can overlook this omisson. But kudos to TFVM, and to Jennifer G. for supporting another reactor.
I want to highlight I am not being critical. I love all of Fairy's reactions to music. I've watched pretty much every one of them. I just thought that if she had missed it then maybe she'd appreciate it being pointed out to hear it next time she listens. :)
Your analysis was very enlightening
Outstanding. Nicely done. And very enjoyable, too.
You had me at
" multi hole manipulation " 🤣🤣
SUBSCRIBED ❤️ hope to see more Home Free ❤️
Other Acapella vocal stops should include Voctave - "Disney Princess Medley" and Voiceplay - "Oogie Boogie Man"
Yes! I would love to see your breakdown of the vocals of both…really hit both ends of the piano lol
You need to do a lot more Home Free reviews. They are the GOAT. Folsom Prison Blues, May Day, End Of The Road, Let's Get It On Mashup, When A Man Loves A Woman...etc. They surprise you with something different every time!
I have watched this reaction from you a couple of times. You are as much fun to watch as the video!!!
You absolutely have to react to 'Oogie Boogie's Song' (Geoff Castellucci - A Cappella)! The base notes are amazing and I'd love to hear your take on how they perform everything
This ^^
Just a side note. Oogie Boogie's Song is by Voice Play (not Home Free). It's absolutely brilliant, though.
Oh..Geoff and his subterranean bass voice👏👍👏👍😍😍😍..but his high notes too😍😍.. and this little vocal fry.. .tasty🥰.
Yes! Gotta add voice play to the a capella train!
YES to all of it. I love the fairy voicemother's takeaway and that on VoicePlay and Geoff... Whoa!
Watching you is always such a joy. You make me laugh at the way you feel what they're doing. Plus your voice should be everywhere.
OMG I LOVE LOVE your reaction! Wow. LOVE this video!! Well done!!!
The dude who made his voice into a harmonica had balls of steel
Loved your reaction! Your joy is so infectious 😍
I adore watching your reactions 😁
May I suggest Ring of Fire for the next Home Free experience? They collaborated with Avi from Pentatonix for that one, and I am certain you‘ll enjoy it.
You have the absolutely best ear & ability to replicate exactly what you hear that I’ve ever heard. Does that make sense? Bravo Lolli!❤
I love you content on A' Capella groups and the way that you breakdown all of their mastermind arrangements.
I lived in London and later in Manchester for a while and when I finally got so tired of the rain I went to Rome ( Italy ) to get some sun shining on me instead of the gloomy weather. But at the same time, I was a bit sad because my English at that time was better than ever before and it felt so rich and wonderful to be able to speak English with such ease and fluency. The English language is really beautiful if treated/handled correctly, ( not now but at the time ) and I am reminded of that when I listen to your English ( not just this video ) It is a delight to listen to you speak.
I love love love their rendition of "When a Man Loves a Woman". In my opinion, it is hands down the best version of that song I've heard in my life.
I've watched a couple of your videos now but the moment you won me over was when you said 'he's a harMANica!'
I love your energy and quirkyfiedness! ❤😉😎 (Is that a word?)
I've pressed the sub button because
1. You're fabulous. And
2. You've promised more Home Free reactions so I'm now sat here with baited breath!
Home Free are stunningly good, and have a massive eclectic back catalogue (mostly country/pop with a scattering of other genres but all with a country twang) each member has a huge versatility in style and range, they all take lead at some point or another depending on the song, and they're all percussive at points too. I do believe Adam Rupp (beatboxer) is also responsible for the crackle at the very beginning, and Adam Chance is doing the jaw harp.
Adam Rupp is not only the best voice percussionist on the planet he also sings when they let him, Tim Foust (no hat, wet hair dude) has a 5 octave range and his bass voice does things to a Lady's giblets that should be illegal, Rob Lundquist (bushy beard and dungarees) and Adam Chance (small beard) baritone voices are so pure, (Chance also a bass) and Austin Brown's (winky redhead) tenor is a thing to behold!
(We should tell you that there's been one amicable change of member over the years - Chris Rupp - also an epic baritone and Adam's brother - moved on to pastures new, then the other Adam, Adam Chance joined. So depending on what you choose to watch will depend on who you see.)
It would take me too long to list all my recommendations, because it would be almost all of there back catalogue and I'm fairly sure everyone else will be chucking in titles too, but my only request is that most of their new songs are all fairly serious with mood appropriate videos, but they're hilarious chaps who make me laugh a lot , so I defo recommend watching the funny ones too! Butts medley, honey I'm good, and Champagne taste on a beer budget (an original written by Tim) are my faves.
And yes, I'm well aware I'm totally fan-girling in this excessively long comment, but come on, it's home free, what did you expect! 😍😍😍😍😍 😂😂😂😂
Just a wonderful reaction, I love watching your responses, and your explanations of how they blend their voices and what it takes to sound as good as Home Free does. You also have a beautiful/powerful voice. New sub here!
May I suggest looking at Home Free's catalog and choosing songs that strike your interest. "Helplessly Hoping" is all harmonies and an amazing blend of tones, "Ring of Fire" with Avi Kaplin (formerly of Pentatonix) is all bass-y goodness, "Mayday" shows the member's vocal versatility... Can't go wrong with any song imho.
Yes! Helplessly Hoping should be the next one.
Absolutely fantastic reaction and very educational too. Subscribed for more Home Free, please!
