    What blows me away is considering that while they're capable of a performance like this, they CHOOSE to sing with Home Free. Any of the members could go one to have successful careers in whatever genre they want, but they all choose to be together right where they are. Amazing!

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.

Think of the continuum from Butts Remix to this. All the delights in between. How lucky we all are to be around to experience their (and the rest of the group's) talent. Love that you were singing along. I wasn't singing, but I sure was conducting. And taking that big last breath right along with them. And you are special and loved, too. Have a fabulous week.

    I was delighted by their rendition - but not completely surprised. The vocal skills they're using are evident in many of their Home Free songs as well -- 'Mayday' springs to mind, as does 'How Great Thou Art.' They both have beautiful, clear tone and resonance in all their performances, and it's just a matter of adding power and mastering the diction and accent of the words they're singing into that mix.

He dug out his training from 15 years ago he said! Wow. And then, of course, Austin does what he just does without trying, emotion pours out of Austin when he sings. I love it.

    Watched this during the premiere and then along with a few YT reactors. After Rob did a tiny tease of his fancy duds and the setting, was anxiously looking forward to this so questioned why I wasn't particularly impressed, initially. Realized the visuals were taking away from the experience. Being a visual person, some aspects of the video didn't click with me and Rob looks very similar to my cousin (albeit 30 years ago!) who is an opera singer, therefore, I wasn't really seeing Rob. Once I gave my full attention to just listening, I was fully able to embrace the experience. Knew Rob had previously sung opera many years ago, so while not all that surprised, was impressed by how comfortably he stepped back into this role after so long showing us how much more he's capable of. But even more, was beyond pleasantly surprised by Austin (love the hair!) taking on this challenge given how well his voice complemented Rob's. This is pretty darn amazing and I wholeheartedly applaud both Rob and Austin for continuing to spread their wings by trying new ventures beyond what we already knew of their musical capabilities. I see a lot of potential in these 'two country a cappella guys.' ;)

    Great reaction. Being blown away is to be expected. We are all somewhat nerdy who watch music reactions.
    What a singer's musical training is can be very different from what they end up doing professionally. Case in point, Avi Kaplan is a formally opera trained basso profundo who sang pop acapella in Pentatonix and now sings his own compositions in folk rock. So go figure 🙂
    Rob is an opera trained tenor.
    Austin is also formally classically trained but sings in more of a musical theater and pop classics direction. He developed his channel as did Tim Foust as their income sources during the pandemic quarantine with no touring for live shows and they just used it for this performance.

    Turn-a-doe (Turnadot). I got to act in a few Operas. Not Turnadot however.
    (PS not sing as no one would have stayed in the theatre ).
    They did a good job.
    What lends itself well for them is that, while they use microphones, a cappella is built around singing with out microphones. Opera started before microphones, so the singers needed to learn to project and be able to sing over an orchestra.
