Rob was an opera major in college. Austin was into musical theater- very bright and up front. Rob has that chiaroscuro! Rob could have a real opera career if he wanted to.
In an interview with the channel "Patrol Gaming" Austin (long hair) said he'd really wanted to show off "opera" Rob; however, Rob said he wouldn't unless Austin sang it with him. They're both classically trained - Rob's was mainly in opera, Austin's degree is in Music Theater. Austin went on to say he thought he'd been okay but that Rob was fantastic. One of the (many) things I love about Home Free is how they support each other.
Great reaction! As mentioned by someone else, I consider Rob a vocal chameleon. There's opera Rob, country Rob, gospel Rob, rap Rob, r&b Rob, classic rock Rob, contemporary Rob, etc. He is a master of changing his timbre and placement to suit different genres.
As others have mentioned, Rob does have classical training, but that was more than ten years ago. He doesn't, presumably, practice his classical technique every day as a working opera singer would do. To me that's impressive that he could pull that back up from his memory and do as well as he did.
Positive suggestion- Please continue with your open mind and positive, upbuilding energy. Too often, many are 'smothered' by cynicism, yet your openness to all genre music types, regardless of your personal music interests, is contagious, I feel, to the success of your UA-cam platform.
Rob was classically trained in college but that was years ago. Austin was a musical theater kid in college. Austin always wanted Rob to sing opera but Rob said he wouldn’t do it without Austin. Austin is the high tenor and Rob the tenor in the group. Good one!
I definitely love when the country and classical worlds collide like this. I'm so done with tribalism, especially when it comes to music. I say that, even though it seems out of place here, because I grew up in a time when genres just were everything. If you were a music nerd like I was, if you even admitted that you liked just about everything, you were an outcast. Just wanted to encourage you to keep making this kind of content. Thanks for sharing, and by the way, even the experts still have a lot to learn. :)
Rob (City Boy !) has the incredible sweet tenor vocal talent like no other .... his counterpart herein Bandmate -Austin, Real Country Boy - (Tifton, Georgia) is a HIGH TENOR extraordinaire make this Aria a duet of considerable excellence in their First and only attempt at Classical Opera. The "learned" of the craft may insist their enunciation is not conventional - THOUGH THEIR TALENT IS MORE THAN ENOUGH to sell this little ditty. Fan for several years, Home Free and these two as well. jj
So proud of them for doing this. They were afraid the fans wouldn't like it. Ha! Wait till you hear R&B Rob in End of the Road. Or Rap Rob in their Butts Medley. And there's Austin's Bring Him Home and Tears in Heaven. Incredibly talented guys.
That was great. I was waiting for that duet. Very impressive. If you do a cross-over with your friends, I'm sure it would me be great. Great video and as always, great reaction😊
This is so very awesome. The first time I heard this I almost fell off my chair. Rob has Opera training and Austin has classical theater training. The voices are so very beautiful! Love your reaction! #HOMEFREE
Rob does have classical background and Austin has musical theater training. If you have enjoyed this I feel you will really be amazed with Austin. He has a solo doing Bring Him Home from Las MIs. This will help you understand how Home Free is so good and can sing anythin
The legendary status of our Home Free vocalists just keeps mounting to greater accolades that is very deserving of our attention. They are simply amazing and yet they are very humble. It is a privilege to enjoy their vocal gifts!!!! Nice Reaction......... Thank you Aaliyah! ❣
If you liked that, react to #HomeFree " Country Fried Pop Medley," where they mash up a bunch of modern pop songs. Thanks, Aaliyay. Don't be such a stranger, you only have 250 more songs to go. 😂
Your enthusiasm for music is very engaging. It's surprising that UA-cam can transmit quality sound through their platform. I think they should do more opera in the future.
I loved your reaction to this Aaliyah! I am a fan of your reactions and of Home Free. I have seen this video and heard this before, but when I saw you were reacting to it, well it was a must-see for me! I would love to see you do a reaction to a classic rock band / song that features one of the elite vocalists. His name is Brad Delp. The band is Boston and the song/video I 'd suggest is More than a Feeling. If you choose the right version, you will get to see them perform. I would love to see you react to that and hear your thoughts!
Great reaction! I have never been a big fan of opera except maybe some Andrea Bocelli & a few others. But I have always appreciated the talent it takes to sing opera. I was pretty impressed with Rob & Austin's version of Nessun Dorma. I have heard this famous song done by Pavarotti. I think I was more surprised by Rob's range & powerful delivery than even Austin's. Pretty good for a couple of country boys! Nice to see them dressed up in suits & looking classy. Rob had some opera training about 15 years ago & Austin has been trained in musical theatre.
When I was a voice student 40 years ago, "voice lessons" always meant operatic bel canto training. These days, that's not true -- you can find vocal coaches and teachers who will teach specifically pop, or musical theater, or rock/metal, in addition to the traditional operatic style. Austin studied musical theater.
You should checkout Tim Foust’s, Bass singer from Home Free, solo work. It’s awesome. Highly recommend reacting to his solo single “Will You Love me Tomorrow/Stay”. About 40 seconds into the song jaw will drop from amazement and shock. Perfect song for a reaction.
Hi Aaliyah. This might be my new favorite reaction ha ha. I havnt seen this until watching it with you. Them singing opera, you a opera singer. How fun is that. It's fun to watch you react to them doing opera. I've never seen them do that til now. I like this group. They toured through my town but I missed it. Darn it. Next time. Fun reaction. Thanks for sharing.
I really enjoyed your reaction. I wish you great future success with your music, you have a lovely voice. You should check out Tommy Johansson covering Winner Takes It All. He is a Swedish singer/composer and multi-instrumentalist. He has done dozens of covers, and also has his own band, Majestica.
I just came to listen to Alison Krauss and Robert Plant, again. How they said about that 1st album: "we sometimes thought: how can we both work THAT out? And then, T Bone told us about his thoughts. And it did work out!" Absolutely fascinating! And they even did a 2nd album: "raise the roof". Robert never had to sing in harmony with another person. It was quite a challenge for him. Since you're here to learn: I love to share with you! Have you heard about the band Slade? I was a huge fan! The parents of their singer Noddy Holder had a bakery. And a car to deliver goods. Noddy used to drive "little Robert" (just jokin') to the rehersals in that car. Few people know, I think. Not a patreon, you might wanna listen to the band Babe Ruth from thhe Netherlands. Their album 1st base was quite popular. My guess would be the song The Mexican. The singing style of "Jenny" Janita Haan is quite outstanding. Cheers from the far north of Germany!

Hello 👋 From the Sunshine☀ of Florida !!!!

Austin certainly hits all the notes thru this (& with some flair as you'd expect from an agile contemporary vocalist).... but Rob delivers a beautifully rich chiaroscuro #BelCantoFTW! - I'd certainly buy an album of him singing popular arias. :) p.s. For maximum contrast, I think you'd enjoy a bit of #GospelRob in Home Free's cover of "End of the Road" ;)
Hello Aailiyah, I will use your words, "I am nowhere near" a real singer like these guys ( face it I'm a rock singer and not classically trained) but they are very good
For variety I’d like to hear your take on a sadly neglected sleeper from the '70s: “One Last Cold Kiss” on the album “Flowers of Evil” by Mountain. - -
Good review! You are right - Rob had opeatic training Austin had Music Theatre training To hear him in that genre, check out his version of Bring Him Home from le Mis - ua-cam.com/video/NGP1nEG-OTQ/v-deo.html
Austin is a classically musical trained singer &, studied hard to get rid of his country twang…then, Home Free said when they hired him….the one thing…..he needed to get his twang back 🙃☺️‼️💕

I believe all of home free says rob is the best singer in the group ❤❤
As others have mentioned, Rob does have classical training, but that was more than ten years ago. He doesn't, presumably, practice his classical technique every day as a working opera singer would do. To me that's impressive that he could pull that back up from his memory and do as well as he did.

Rob majored in vocal performance which included opera. He is a chameleon vocally and switch to any genre.

Good job young lady. Your smile is infectious too! Be well, Duke
Thank you! You too!🥰🥰🥰
I remember when Aretha Franklin had to fill in for Pavarotti at the Grammy's on this song. She was amazing. These guys really impressed me too.
Thanks so much for sharing
That was a mediocre performance though

Voice lessons were presumably part of Austin's curriculum, which means that he has some classical training as well.

These days, that's not true -- you can find vocal coaches and teachers who will teach specifically pop, or musical theater, or rock/metal, in addition to the traditional operatic style. Austin studied musical theater.
@@DavidTateVA Austin studied 15 or so years ago, so I would still find it likely that he had some bel canto training.
