- Somehow i predicted they were gonna pick a song like this...but i didn't like it as much as the judges did. It sounded nice but i didn't like the vocals from the backup singers with it..that's just me though i'm sure the majority of people liked it
when the bass guitar starts to talk .......... loved that
The funny thing is a bass guitar can not go as low as Tim can. :D
His bass is so low it's almost out of my hearing range!
I was in the balcony at their concert and my seat rumbled!
I agree Jacqueline! He has such a deep, deep, deep, deep, deep voices on his lower notes
Whats his name
The best name

Jewel's comments were right on: this was a great example of "how to build a band", and it highlighted each of the five component members (the bass singer is great, but it's the full sound of all five, pitch-perfect, that makes it work): Austin has the voice (and looks) to be a 'star' (in any kind of singing, musical theater production, etc.), and, with each guy having a great range, they are able to build up a huge, well-blended group sound (w/plenty of baritone, plus 'drummer'). That they make it look and sound so easy masks how difficult it is to get that pitch-perfect blend (I keep harping on pitch because I'm a musician and I love it when singers or instrumentalists working together really lock in the pitch and harmonies -- doesn't happen all that often). Plus, it's a great arrangement (another testament to their talent, since most of them are song-writers & arrangers, not just singers; and they make their own arrangements). Well done!
Yeah
@Alexandria Hauser nice stuff.
I love their awkward dancing so much!
Watch Home Free's "All About That Bass (The Outtake Video)," as found on their Facebook page or at UA-cam's /watch?v=laTYYEhjy8U, and see for yourself. Some of these guys really CAN dance . . . um, er, not all of them, of course. LOL :-)
Cholla Ranch Thanks dude :D
Austin has the moves. He always has. The choreography for the group toned it down
Say what you will about the bass being tough, the drummer being spot on and the lead being exceptional. That is surely true, BUT; The dude with the beard, singing the high harmony, is the main one who gives them their distinct sound. I am surprised the judges haven't noticed or mentioned that.
Rob is amazing.
Probably because he's not as pretty as Austin.
@@-hasamastersdegreeinwumbol8565 how dare you
@@jonashammond498 I'm sorry, Rob is one of my favorites, and I love his sense of humor. He's like a cute little teddy bear with the voice of an angel. He's constantly cracking me up, they all are.
@@-hasamastersdegreeinwumbol8565he's handsome
You guys see in the preparation when they can't dance? I swear I see Adam spinning in circles hahaha
You are correct
Yep, just a bit of extra drama/theatre for the show. Austin had to dance in theatre numbers so he was not unschooled, Adam Rupp is clearly good enough to mimic Michael Jackson moves and Tim loves to boogie. So yeah, they could already dance better than the show wanted you to know.
Does anyone else notice the fact that Chris jumps those few stairs, and robs like, naw, im just walking down them..
Yeah, haha
*My hips lie... yeah they dont tell the truth* lol
Haha
Zack Mokary
i loved that
I felt that so hard...
Rob has such a great sense of humor.
I've never heard such great country acappella! Come to think of it, this is the first time I've heard country acappella.
I love how coy Tim plays it whenever the judges mention his range. Like I can't help but feel like he's just sitting there thinking "oh just wait until next time." With that little self assured smile.
They don't need dance moves to be good; they are all talent. Sean is right, they are consistent and they do have all of the parts to be an a capella group. A lot of groups could learn from Home Free.
Tim and Avi are both GODS, but you know, the thing Pentatonix missed during the Sing Off was really highlighting the plain and simple fact that the ladies love the basses!
Wow.. agree with you 100%!! And when they came back this season for the finale and avi sang. I love them both
Matilda Wilson I couldn't agree more! I think PTX were mainly focused on getting their stuff down and introducing a new style that had never been done before, so Avi (being 1/2 of the necessary Meat & Potatoes) was too preoccupied with covering the bass to sing low solo stuff. It wasn't in their arrangements, it wasn't their style on the Sing-Off.
Matilda Wilson Country is also pretty bass-baritone heavy in the industry, so a bass solo isn't so out of the ordinary, whereas when Pentatonix was doing Pop/Electronic music which is primarily focused on tenors/altos. The melody at any given moment would go to one of the trio singers.
I'm sure most basses participating in the Sing-off were talented, but it seemed only Tim was showing it off. Most others just stood in the back as background harmonies
they infact are gods
wow after almost 3 years and the comment section is still alive. This proves that there are many acapella fans =)
Okay I'm wrong. I'm drinking their kool-aid now. This was a sick performance. Their crescendo through out the song with five ppl amazes me. A-
OMG THAT LOW NOTE DOOOUGH
when the bass guitar starts talking
My favourite group this season. They're REALLY good.
It's funny how this is an acapella show and the groups with less people are the ones taking acapella to it's maximum level.
Home Free ftw
I was thinking the same thing. I think it's because groups that have 8 or more singers try too hard and have so many different harmonies when they aren't needed.
Larger groups are more like a choir...
Nothing more entertaining than watching Home Free tryna dance 😄
Austin is drop dead hot. His voice, his smile, his face.........I come back to these videos so I can see his face....uncovered.
I wish he would wear his hair shorter again-looks cuter.
Are we kidding?!? That was an A1 flat! That bass!
***** I agree, it's in C#, therefore its dominant is a G#. My mistake, I just hit the note on my piano and wrote what it was without thinking about the key. 😅 Plus, I also have to say that it is less impressive now that I've heard lower notes from him and... that now I can sing it too! 😆
Avi Kaplan: There is no deceit in my hips.
Rob Lunquist: My hips lie. They don't tell the truth.
A fellow 2020 viewer!! 😂
I never heard of Home Free before today. I saw Fhilharmonic in another video and then and came across Home Free in the Face Off round today. I was thinking "God another country group." But they are fricken amazing! I think it's safe to say I'm obsessed. ;)
+Tammi Sprau Have you subscribed to their channel yet? Home Free has a great variety of fabulous musical videos, including original songs, covers, remixes, medleys, etc. (And, yeah, we're all pretty much obsessed, too!)
+Tammi Sprau I knew about them from a friend who is from the same home town as Tim, and I have to two concerts when they came to my town and have their Ycds. Love their youtube channel.
Jewel said they don’t have country instruments, yes they do! It’s called Adam
2:58 - That guy in the crowd is LOVING it!!
This song is what put my heart in a three way split between Tim, Austin, and Adam. God all three of them are so gorgeous and so talented and I love it.
I love that she says, "Ya'll need to learn how to dance!"
Chris started the swing dance club at my alma mater, and still dances to this day, so help me. Hahaha!
right? TV stuff
Calle Sol - Displaying good sportmanship for helping out their rivals, plus they got a few extra seconds of airtime. How does Home Free sound like a full orchestra with just 5 guys? The "fullness" of their sound remind me of Pentatonix.
I don't know if that's the reason, but to me their drum and bass stand out just like Avi and Kevin did on their season, and their harmonies are pretty good too.
bryce St.Onge He said the "fullness" of their sound reminds him of Pentatonix, not their style.
PTX's most recent stuff sounds very "full." Go back about a year and you can tell they didn't know how to fill the massive sound gap between Scott and Avi. Recently though, you can tell they have it figured out and they sound great because of it
They got blown away by Pentatonix last year. They learned and now they are blowing others out of their way....I am here in 2019 and Pentatonix is still blowing every one away, unfortunately without Avi...Home Free, even though they are country are on my list to listen to
Man...that guy on bass is singing so low that we almost cant hear it. I dont really like their style but man. They sound AMAZING
"When the bas guitar starts speaking" LOL :D
If you don't think this is awesome then you don't know good music. These guys have a sound all their own. Love it
Oh my..Tim's solo is maaaahveloussss!!
For all Canadians out there Life is a Highway was originally done by Tom Cochrane not Rascall Flatts. Allthough they do a fantastic version of Cochrane's original. Rascall Flatts version was on the movie "Cars" which came far after the song's original release date in 1992.
OK not to speak ill of any other types of music, this is what singing should be based on pure clean harmony.
The beatbox guy is hot.
OMG...Saw this group live at the Allure of the Sea and I fell in love!!! They are SO talented!!!! Simply amazing!!!!
I love this so much they dance like me in the box, out of the box, then back in, then out and so on.
Its Adorable when they start to dance…..
Oh, my little nondancers. I love this group so much XD
Funny how other groups mocked Home Free for not being able to dance that well but Home Free won the competition at the end.
These guys perform the song well. However, I wish people would stop calling this song "country". Just because a country group covered a rock song, that doesn't make it a country song. It would, more correctly, labeled as: A country-styled cover of a rock song.
Life is a highway is country
This song was originally performed by Chris Ledoux who was a country singer. Then it was covered by Rascal Flatts. Home Free used the version Rascal Flatts did. It is a country song.
@@theresaashley1346 Umm....No. Life is a Highway was originally a rock song by Tom Cochrane who wrote the song. Chris Ledoux's version is from 1998 and Tom Cochrane's version went to number six on the Billboard Hot 100 and number five on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart in 1992.
@@Brirend gee your my hero
I have been a fan of Home Free since first seeing them on the sing off. I am seeing them live for the second time. Shawn mentioned how they do a cappella in this one. But somewhere between the sing off and now, Home Free no longer sounds like an a cappella group but sounds like a band.
In my opinion they are the best at what they do. Is there any other a cappella group that sounds like a band?
I went to a Don't it Feel Good concert with a friend, and she commented on the choreography, which was Home Free's weakness on the Sing Off. This is a good performance, but Home Free has gotten a lot better. Go see a live performance if you get the opportunity. We had so much fun!
+Peggy Goodman I've seen them live twice, its a hell of a show
I'm not so sure the guys didn't know how to dance before the Sing Off. I think they just never incorporated dancing in their routine. They do now though and I personally love it!
Love that Adam got some recognition for his talents
WOW Where have you been all my life??? LOVE your sounds, please keep it up! And add a FLORIDA show to your tour list next time!!
Their dance moves can be characterized as "the white boy shuffle"
Hardly anyone can redo a Rascal Flatts song and it still sound good. Thats how you know these guys are amazing!
I believe Chris LeDoux did it first and then Rascal Flatts did it and now Hine free did it.
but Chris LeDoux was much better than Rascal Flatts, Rascal Flatts butchered it in comparison. (Go youtube Chris's, you will agree).
Tom Cochrane wrote the song. He of Red Ryder "Lunatic Fringe" fame.
2:50 That's how you bass.
Love these guys, can't wait to see them in a few weeks, but how did nobody not know that Tom Cochrane wrote this song when the Sing Off was on the air?
🇺🇸 Merica 😂
Thank you! Actually, Tom Cochrane is Canadian, but thanks for playing.
These guys are amazing!!!! So talented and boy Austin's voice😩👏🏾😍💕😁
mrduckbear11: thanks for preserving public access to the origins of this group. I refer newbies to your videos to get to know home free.
I wanna see more of Austin and Tim dance please. I feel like Austin knows a lot more dancing than he let's on.
Indeed that's true.
Life is a Highway was written by Tom Cochrane not Rascal Flatts
Doctorj63 nobody said they did write it
Hold up, Doctor...as Jewel noted, Canadian Tom Cochrane was the one who originally wrote and recorded "Life Is A Highway." Rascal Flatts brought it back, thanks to Disney's animated flick "Cars." But Home Free put a pretty good spin on it, in my opinion. I DIG their country-meets pop a capella sound (and Tim Foust is now the baddest bass vocalist out there).
I find it funny they were all saying BY Rascal Flatts, a great band btw. RF only covered this song and did an amazing cover but they did not write nor perform it first. Title of the video includes the proper By line.
Home Free no doubt one of the best A Capella groups I've heard, yes I said one of not "THE" as in A Capella there is no THE Best as most of the top groups are packed with out of this World Vocalists and Talented Sound effect artists as well.
Actually, Tom Cochrane was the original performer of "Life is a Highway" and yes, it was a rock song. ;)
The song (a hit in 1991) is probably older than most of the posters! The Rascal Flatts version is some 15 years after the fact so one has to excuse the ignorance of the bleating.
Roarmeister2 to add to that it went #1 in canada and Tom is in the Canadian Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It was his most popular song to date. Your right about most posters being young. They think that todays music is the ONLY Music in the world that has been created. Ignorance is NOT BLISS in this case.
Rob Lundquist and not Rob Lunquist!!!
I Love Home Free!!!!!!!! I saw them in concert for the first time April 8th, 2016 in Portland, Oregon.
+Sarah Martin did rob lose his beard?
The original singer is Tom Cochrane and he's an amazing Canadian singer, it would have been nice if they mentioned him.
Right!?
Rascal Flatts, my ass!
I almost refuse to believe their beatboxer needed dance instruction
As he moonwalked in pretty woman and no one mentions it!
Have you seen their Never Gonna Give You Up??!! He does the worm! That whole video is just Awesomely Hilarious!
It’s too bad the MC credited this song to Rascal Flatts instead of who originally released the song. Tom Cochrane
Austin has gotten even better over the years and he was awesome back then! These guys are AMAZING !
LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. No other words.
The walking bass guitar. Love it.
They are great, but Tom Cochrane was the first to do " life is a highway."
well i loved home free there my favorit group, there awesome and sound so cool together i can listen to them all day long
they sound like a record, so perfect
I like how they made this song really sound like a party anthem near the end. However, I have to say that the judges (especially Shawn) are pretty inconsistent with their critiques. Last season, they told Afro Blue that they need to try different grooves besides jazz and explore different types of singing. But this season, Shawn told Home Free that it was good that they stuck to what they know, stuck "in the box" as it were.
And I feel like that is unfair because this week was party anthem, and Home Free could have totally stepped out of the box and done something other than country. But I think throughout this entire season Home Free stayed pretty much country, and didn't really get criticized for it. Whereas Afro Blue got criticized week to week to get out of their comfort zone. Then, when they did as the judges said, they were criticized for going too far out of their jazzy roots! Like, poor Afro Blue, there's just no winning for them! Even if I wanted PTX to win, I think Afro Blue should have gotten 2nd.
Listen, I'm a HUGE fan of Home Free. I love everything they do. I just have problems sometimes with the inconsistencies of the judges, even if I love them for the most part.
YES! I love Home Free, and I love that they have a distinctive sound (and the judges respect that).
I literally just watched all of Afro Blue's performances and I wish the judges would have let them stick with one style. I LOVE jazz a capella so I thought their earlier performances were flawless...later in the season, the performances were still good, but to me they just didn't seem as authentic somehow.
I think PTX were always clear winners, but if the judges hadn't confused them, Afro Blue could have come 2nd or 3rd.
Kristine Silmaro This was originally a rock song, not a country song. They did in essence step out of the box.
Is this the country Pentatonix?
It's better!
check out their videos they do a lot of humor and that's something PTX can't do
the only thing pentatonix has over them is a bigger vocal range
IW FourZeroTwo home free can go lower, PTX can go higher
IW FourZeroTwo In Home Free's defense, PTX has a girl and a god (Mitch). Home Free has a better bass and better harmony though.
I'm way behind on the times, but very glad I can catchup every once in a while. It's amazing seeing how talented others are...and their wonderful personalities make it all the more enjoyable...oh, and the judges critiques and comments are just as entertaining. It's a great show. Hope it and others like it continue to enspire other talented individuals to come out and share their talents with the world.
writing this before i watch: this is either gonna be really good, or really really bad
wow! they nailed it
If they don't get top 2 I'm out.
I love home free, i love Rascal Flatts, but Life is a highway is a Tom Cochrane Song remade by Rascal Flatts
The bass guy can totally sing the monster mash!
Ben's hilarious this season, come on hahahahahahahahahahaha
the guy with the deep voice have people like me hope that guys like me with seep voices can sing
Wonderful group of men that with their combined unique style of singing make people take notice. Wish you could sing together forever.
"Life is a Highway" is a song by Canadian singer/songwriter, Tom Cochrane!!!!
1991
+Deborah Shea the rascal flatts version is a cover performed for the film Disney Pixar Cars
+alessandro lmp1 2006
Tom Cochrane wrote and sang it originally give credit where it is due
Yes but it depends if theyre using rascal flatts version to perform it
I love how Calle Sol taught them moves!! So sweet and wholesome and helpful, sharing knowledge and talent with competitors. This was a great show 🥰
"Tim's the only one singing this low."
"Oh, honey, just wait." 😂
2:50 Tim STOP. and by stop i mean NEVER STOP
"People complaining about subwoofers..." Yep... one of my Surround Sound speakers are garbage now -.-
still obsessed 6 years later
For all the confused people out there, the song was originally written and performed by Tom Cochrane as a rock song, but was redone by the Rascall Flatts in the 2000's as a country song
Sean Hogan On the soundtrack to Pixars Cars. Best Pixar soundtrack ever!
I Totally Love these Guys. Their voices their harmony their looks🤗. They are SOOO TALENTED. I Never get tired of listening to Home Free.
Tim has the most amazing voice I have ever heard. His range is amazing. Listen to him do Misty Mountains.
Thanks for all your Sing Off postings since I can't see it in Asia. Really enjoying Home Free's solid performances. I also like seeing how the groups interact and help each other out, here and also in Street Corner Symphony's video with the girl from Vocal Rush. Having heard and read comments from groups in previous seasons talk about being at a music camp for singing geeks, it's nice to see moments like that.
They are awesome
Random thoughts of a new Home Fry: Has anyone who was part of the sing off watched Home Free Never Gonna Give You Up? The dancing with Adam and Tim is my favorite part! 🕺🏽🕺🏽🕺🏽
The first performance made them won already
I love the original. It feels so alive, not this cover
These guys don't need to dance, their singing has me memorized
They're obviously the judges' favorite. I will not be surprised if they'll will.
I think I just fell in love.

Austin's skin is red right after performing lol
He works really hard
I am sure this has been said many times but COME ON MAN!! At least give credit to the original artist that made the music and wrote the song. Tom Cochrane is the original artist, not Rascal Flats! All Rascal did was cover it. A good cover for sure but not nearly as good as the original rock song not country. That being said Rascal did an excellent job at crossing over this song. COME ON HOME FREE if your gonna do it at least get it right. You guys killed this!
this is a original song by Tom Cochrane and Redrider not rascal flats
These guys didn't need to win any contests..
They are Star performers from the
GET GO..!!
Tom Cochrane's song (wasn't he with Red Rider in Lunatic Fringe?)
Anyways, these guys are awesome!
Yes he was before he went solo.
I love this video it's so awesome
wow this gives me goosebumps! sooooooooooooooooooooooooo good!
Pathetic, not to know who wrote a song. Tom Cochrane of Red Rider, rascal flatts covered it...poorly
Austin voice wow. This group is spot on perfect.
