This is one time where Rob truly shines as the exceptionally versatile tenor he is.
Amen to that
I think the best compliment they could have gotten came from an Italian opera singer/reactor who said she not only forgot they weren't opera singers but she forgot they weren't Italian. Years ago Rob's vocal coach said he could have a huge career in opera. Thank God he joined HF
Which reactor was that?
@@marywayzee Unfortunately I don't remember her name. I think it's probably because it's the one and only time I watched one of her reactions but it might be the girl whose UA-cam channel is called Training Voice
@@pennygarrity386 Yes! I found it and that was the one you were thinking of! Thanks!
What really gets me is that this project was Austin's idea.... He asked Rob to be part of it and in spite of a 15 year hiatus from his classical training in university, Rob and Austin were very brave to take this on. It was a brilliant idea- truely inspired.
These guys are like vocal shapeshifters.
I'm glad you didn't get Rickrolled. (I knew ahead of time, actually)
I cried the first time I heard it, & didn't even realize I had tears running down my face until the song was over, it touched me so deep. It still gives me chills. ❤️
There's the face of surprise and shock and amazement. Rob who study opera in college but hasn't sung it in 15 years and Austin has a musical theater background.
I love that Austin features his bandmates on his channel and really lets them shine! They were both great, but Rob really killed this!
Rob has an opera background and Austin has a degree in musical theater. In fact, that was his main style when the guys met him; he was part of the entertainment crew on the cruise ship Home Free were guesting on. When one of the group (Matt?) decided to retire to be closer to his family a little while later, they contacted Austin. That was around 2012-13, a year or a bit less before their appearance on the Sing-Off.
In fact they kept Austin hanging around waiting for 6 months after first saying there might be a vacancy. He didn't take on other engagements since he didn't know when they might contact him, and worked as a waiter the whole time. I think he joined them full time a bit later than you say, because I remember someone saying he'd only been with them for a few months before the Sing Off (which personally I think he won for them, not to take away from the other members' performances). From the point of view of career, Austin might have been advised not to sign a contract after the Sing Off - rumour has it that he was approached by various people outside the a capella world. But he seems happy just singing with friends.
I think this one should be titled "Lisa gets gobsmacked". Just proves that these guys can pretty much sing anything they want.
Austin sounds great, but for me it's Rob that knocks it out of the park. He sounds magnificent.
And yet ... in the many reactions to this piece, it's when Austin is singing that most mutter about goosebumps, or about how beautiful it is. I'm a great believer in immediate reactions rather than what they think they ought to say, and what they are hearing is the "spinto" (incisiveness), a rare quality, which is one of the things that led one reactor to declare that Austin could have made a fortune if he hadn't decided to abandon further study and turn his back on any form of opera/music theatre.
You will never look at Rob the same again.....
Love your reaction. I think Austin still sounded like Austin, but Rob sounded completely differently than what we're used to hearing with Home Free! Keep up the great reactions!
If I hadn't been watching it, I NEVER would have guessed that that beautiful operatic voice was Rob!!! 😳🤯🎶🥰🥰🥰
Rob did opera in college and Austin did musical theater. I'm hoping that this will get Rob to do some musical side projects as well
He's got his podcast series, The Avid Indoorsmen, which also needs quite a lot of preparation, as well as a young family. I'm not sure he has the time.
I always hear how Rob “doesn’t look like” that country tenor should be coming out of him. He looks like THIS voice should be coming out of him. They both did a great job, but it really strikes me how Rob sounds like a *completely different singer.* In an amazing way! Good heavens.
Rob's voice has such a warmth to it. Austin's is brighter and sharper...Rob's is like butter.
yesh, getting your mind around the switch, complete tranformation!
Having watched countless reactors view this video, yours is one of the best reactions. Shocking, n'est-ce pas? Given the word 'try' in the title, and Home Free's comedic abilities, some expected some kind of spoof or lip syncing. This project was Austin's idea and took some major encouragement to get Rob on board. Rob, surprising us with the deep, rich voice, had studied and performed opera about 15 years ago. Austin had studied a bit of opera along with his musical theater training.
After this, you'll never see these two quite the same now being aware of their 'hidden' talent. Given the overwhelmingly positive response the guys have gotten to this performance one can only hope they will consider doing even more, as you requested. And, yes, some of us would love to see them enlist the other Home Free guys. Surely, Adam can do violin or whatever is called for!
Rob studied Classical Opera in College and Austin background is in musical theater. Outstanding performance.
Your face when they started..... priceless! 😯😲😳 Lisa, I STILL get chills listening to this! It makes me actually tear up 😥
Your reaction to Austin and Rob's operatic performance was the best of any of the other reactors! You seemed as amazed as I was!
I have watched this probably 20 times and I still get teary eyed!
LOVED your reaction, Lisa!💖 The first time I saw this was with Lyle on Patrol Nation! He played the video 3 times & he & I both cried all 3 times! I'm not a big opera fan but how can you not love Pavarotti singing this? I've commented many times that professional opera singers would either be proud or jealous of Rob & Austin because the pros spent their entire lives training & performing opera, then two a cappella singers who sing everything EXCEPT opera come along & perform this like pros! We all knew they were incredibly talented but opera is a whole different "ballgame"! 🤗&😘from SE Tennessee, USA!😊
I wish people could understand that in the 100 years or so since Puccini wrote this aria, thousands of tenors (and others) have sung it. People talk as if Pav recorded the original lol. He's not even the best recording, there are minor technical errors and he'd got into a habit of belting instead of singing. What he did have was the best PR team in the music world lol.
People in the US also have a strange idea of what opera is, thinking that it's only used for the Italian style. The Italian operas which that style of singing is suitable for are not so popular these days and opera has changed and modified. Now a voice like Austin's bright lyric tenor is in demand, being more flexible in the styles it is suitable for. In fact there are Italian operas which need a lyric tenor for romantic leads. I'm sure Austin's college tutors were aware of all this when they pressed him to continue studying for opera.
Surprise! These boys are talented!😅😂
I know they both have great, perfect voices, but this blows me away. It's phenomenal. Rob could have a career in opera, though I hope he didn't. 😅 Great reaction, thanks Lisa!
I think we've just seen the 50th reactor bite the dust!
My reaction also...omg, omg
The first time(s) I watched this I sat with a huge grin on my face and tears running down my face. I still smile and get teary when I see someone else check it out the first time, brings all the happiness back. Our boys can do anything and do it beautifully
Isn’t it awesome??!! Tim just put out a video for one of the songs on his Do-wop album called Since I Can’t Have You. It’s a 50s song. It’s all Tim making all the music. It’s so good!! Great reaction! 😊
The title is "SINCE I DON'T HAVE YOU" a great cover...when you listen again you will hear Tim blend two other songs "GLORIA"and "SINCERELY".
Wow, I love me some Lisa. Your reactions make me so happy. So genuine and thoughtful. Thanks!
One of the many pleasant surprises these guys give us
I can see that it takes your breath away. Yeah, I thought I was going to be rickrolled and then this happened. Rob studied opera in college but that was years ago. Austin studied musical theater. They were so good and they clean up nice too. Hahaha. Great reaction Lisa!🥰
Epic. 👍👍👍🇸🇪💕😎
Yes this is wow, wow and wow.. This is insane. It is extremely good. Fantastic. Both are doing great. But Rob, I'm perplexed. His voice is just magical, so rich, so warm and powerful. Chills just ran through my body. It flows into my heart. For me he will be able to stand with the greatest of opera singers. It's not often that I listen to songs by opera singers 5 times and more in a row. But here it is. Of course I hope that both will always continue to do Home Free, but I wouldn't think it wrong that such "trips" are made more often. Opera, country, ballads, soul etc. I think anything is possible..
This was Very fun to watch. I Loved your beautiful reaction . Thank you 💙 that you liked this so much, made me love it even more 🌺 🌟
Great reaction sista❤.I laugh when I see the genuine response to hearing my boys "SINGING",OPERA.,not trying. Just stunning. Rob trained a little in classical music.I Just adore Homefree. #Homefree
Rob …. Off the charts! , and I love the way Austin sort of tipples down from his high notes, rather then just a slide. So much color, BEAUTIFUL!
This was so ingenious how they made a duet out of a solo aria! Both voices are incredible. You should react to Austin singing Bring Him Home from Les Misérables. I was in tears at the end. What he did at the end of the song was positively angelic! I was in tears at the end!
Yep our boys are super talented!!!
That was quite a reaction.
It was fun when they did it. Rob, like Avi Kaplan, had studied opera in college and Austin more musical theater.
Loved your reaction! Thanks! 🎉
They don't disappoint, food for the soul.
Your reaction to this amazing performance was the best! What can't these guys sing?
I was blown away when they released this. Absolutely amazing job.
Yes,I enjoyed it so much,I’ve watched many reactors,so much I’ve lost count. No regrets,I’ve enjoyed each one.
Loved your reaction. I had a similar reaction of disbelief when I heard it. Rob had operatic training when s student at the University of Minnesota. He hadn't sung opera in fifteen years until Austin convinced him to sing opera again.. Austin had a full scholarship at the University of Oklahoma in musical theater.
They were very nervous about releasing the video. They weren't sure what people's reactions would be.
One suggestion for Home Free Christmas music is " Children Go Where I Send Thee.". They sing it with Kenny Rogers soon after they won The Sing Off. It shows their various abilities.
At the end, Kenny explains how he learned of Home Free. It's a bittersweet moment in light of Kenny's later death.
Lisa your reaction is priceless….. made my day 😘
Austin sounds great but Rob actually sounds like an opera singer.
Great Reaction! I have never been a 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.
Wasn't that freaking Amazing 🔥 there's really nothing they can't do. Great reaction ❤️
Fabulous reaction!!!
I’ve listened multiple times, I can’t stop😳. And I cry every time😥
With Rob singing opera and Austin singing a classical cover, it makes a very nice crossover...doesn't it?
If Rob had chosen to follow the operatic path, I'm sure he would have had a celebrated career. And Austin would have done well on the musical theater circuit.
I'm glad they both chose to do acapella.
They can sing anything! Its crazy amazing
You most definitely DID NOT get Rick-rolled. This performance is a great answer to "is there anything they can't do?" So far.....NO
I absolutely listen to this song a lot by them. Your reaction is so spot on with their performance. I have subscribed to your channel for more of your awesome reactions. Greetings from Georgia!
Best reaction of life!
They have the world at their feet !!!!!
I have heard this many times and get chills and tears in my eyes every time. I am right, they are Angels.😀😀😀😀😀😀😂😂😂😂😂🤩🤩🤩
I'm always a bit surprised when people talk as if they had never heard Rob's voice before. If you listen to his solos in the Sea Shanty Medley, you can hear that larynx good and dropped. In fact the first time I heard the SSM , I thought "There's a big highly trained voice."
I absolutely LOVE your reaction!!
Hi Lisa! Long-time subscriber, first time commenter here. I have enjoyed all your reactions from the shadows, but I felt compelled to comment this time. Your reaction was of such pure joy and amazement that I had to tell you. By far my favorite reaction to this amazing piece. Thank you so much for making my night enjoyable.
They are superb!
I have been a fan of Home Free for over two years now and am very familiar with their amazing talent! But this blew me away. I am so not a fan of opera, but I've been so drawn into Rob and Austin's Nessun Dorma that I can't get enough of it. So incredible! I've watched this video 100s of times! Great reaction!
Yours is the best reaction I've seen to this. So genuinely astounded, such good observations. And I absolutely cracked up (with you) about getting Rick-rolled! About your comment that they should do an opera album: I'd like to see them make an opera! Can you imagine what kind of response that would get??
What a great reaction!!!
I pray they’ll do more of this🙏🙏🙏
Rob and Austin would enjoy this reaction so much!
Okay, what can't they sing genre wise???? Just WOW!!!!!!!! 🍧 icing with a cherry on top!!!!! Amazing doesn't even begin to define how I feel about these guys..................
I love watching people's brains melt when they watch this. Thanks for not letting me down. 😆 Great reaction Lisa!
your joy is adorable
That’s the face we all love seeing!! The what the hell just happened !!
Nessun Dorma ( "no one sleeps") is an aria from Puccini's opera "Turandot", sung by all the great ( and near great ) opera stars (male and female)......."Vincero" ( I Will Win ! )
LOL! That would be the best Rick Roll ever! After spending months convincing Rob to do this, Austin heard Rob's solos and went back to redo his because Rob's was sooooo good. I love how Rob is more traditional opera while Austin went for a crossover style. Both are beautiful and well respected styles. Great reaction!
Thanks so much for your honest and emotional reaction. The best reaction I have seen for this amazing video. Watching your reactions made me emotional too. God Bless you and stay safe.
Their voices are out of this World.Rob is great and Austin too.They are not only country boys
It was a joy and heart warming to watch your reaction. I love this group. Their voices touch your soul. What a gift.
If the group did decide to produce opera as a full 5, Adam has a lovely tenor voice, there needn't be any percussion to include him.
Talented people entertain they are top level, typical country boy saying hold my beer and watch this… lol.
I wasn't sure if you were going to shed a tear vs jumping out of your skin. You were completely taken off guard.
Great rxn as usual!
As an opera fan too.. and home free fan... pretty damn good job... not quite the power of Pavarotti... but very good ... Rob definitely came close at some parts... they both had great runs... great reaction!
I had The Same Reaction!!!❤❤
Yes, life is about making faces to stuff instead of doing stuff.
New sub for your Home Free reactions. This was phenomenal!!!
Crazy talented off the charts 💯💯
I love that "deer in headlights look" everybody gets when they hear Rob sings this song
Rob has an opera degree and Austin has a musical theater degree.
I felt the exact same way you do. I couldn't stop saying Oh My God either. Rob was classically trained in college. Austin also had classical training and musical theater training in college too. This was all Austin's idea he had to really talk Rob into it. Rob had not done Opera in about 15 years. Truly enjoyed watching your reaction to this song.
country meets opera
I loved your reaction - I've seen two other channels and the men playing this video were literally reduced to tears. Chris Rupp (who founded Home Free along with his beatboxing brother Adam) had a real talent for finding talent. All the members of Home Free are so lavishly talented and versatile!
Your reaction was the same as mine. Stunningly beautiful, still brings tears to my eyes 🥰
This is the first time I've seen your channel. What a great reaction! New subscriber here.
Not bad ...... for a couple of country* boys .... which is INCORRECT ... Austin is a Southerner and Rob is a city boy from THEE NORTH COUNTRY ( Minnesota) and the band is a mix as well. THEY ARE SIMPLY JUST GREAT TENORS !!!
You need to watch Austin do Bring Him Home on his channel.
Rob lunquist was trained in opera While in college😊
Ms. Lisa, you're right, for a performance like this words fail. So what can I add to the discussion? For one thing, I absolutely adore your sweater. Other than that, no, I have nothing to contribute.
Understand - Understood!!!! :) Now, how many more times have ya listened? :) (think we all have!) Be Safe
Definitely better than most "mainstream artist sings Nessun Dorma" attempts. That said, it would have been notably better if it had just been Rob, who literally measures up here to anybody not named Pavarotti. I mean come on, he even rolled the R's properly! Austin's voice and range are phenomenal, but he lacks the richness of tone to do justice to this specific piece, and I feel he takes away from the depth of Rob's sound when they sing in harmony.
Ever Pavarotti would say that wAs good!!!!
