    Tim has commented before that Home Free and VoicePlay did do their own arrangements that were then put together as you noticed, SH. The female vocalist’s name is Honey La Rochelle.
    Each week on the Sing Off, every group had to arrange some pop song to perform in the event they were in the bottom two and on the verge of elimination, then rehearse it with all of the other groups. This was the battle song for one week, and Home Free and VoicePlay liked their matchup so much even though they didn’t need to use it that they decided to bring it back after the show. This video is that result.

    In your quest for Halloween songs to react to I’m hopeful that you’ve found the Hound and the Fox. They have collaborated with Tim Foust, Adam Chance and Peter Hollens on many songs. They have many Halloween appropriate songs like Come Little Children from the movie Hocus Pocus, Rot Next to You from the Adams Family, Thirsty from Dracula, Ghost of John, Spooky Scary Skeletons, and I Put a Spell on you. They have a few more from other movies as well. I think you will enjoy the duo.

    The crazy thing is that Voiceplay was in Florida and Home Free was in Texas during filming.
    They did an amazing job combining the two to look like they're in the same room.
    This was supposed to be a competition in the Sing Off but Voiceplay was voted off before it could be shown.
    After the show ended they all decided to release it on UA-cam.

    So nice of you to do this for Halloween week. They’re both so goofy. Love the “battle”. You don’t get much sillier than Hillbillies dancing and messing around. They both sounded great and the female with VP is Honey LaRochelle. I don’t know why the producers insisted on them having a female but she sounds great. Good one SH. Have a wonderful Halloween and autumn.

    • @Julandran
      @Julandran 27 днів тому

      From what I've gathered, the Sing-Off producers insisting on VoicePlay adding a woman was a combination of 1) the show tending to have a lot of all-male groups and needing more variety in their roster, and 2) the fact that VP's "Trouble" mashup with Rachel Potter was what convinced the producers to reach out and encourage them to submit an audition. Since Rachel had already commited to being on The X-Factor, the guys reached out to Honey, who they also knew from the Orlando theme park performance circuit.

At any rate, they are so closely in tune with each other that it made it hard for me to choose. I'd just it a tie, even though I am partial to Home Free. I fell in love with them when I heard them cover the Eagles song, Seven Bridges Road." This video made me happy. Thank you.

      @Julandran 27 днів тому

      VoicePlay don't need to wait for Halloween to play dress-up. They'll bust out the costumes and makeup any time of year. (Though they do tend to get a little more elaborate for spooky season.)
      In this instance, it was part of their "Collide" series, in which they collaborated with other singers from their season of The Sing-Off, and released a new video after each episode aired. The zombies vs. hillbillies concept was what the two groups had come up with while rehearsing for the "ultimate sing-off" segment, but fortunately didn't need to perform on the show since neither group ended up in danger of elimination for that episode. They'd had so much fun with it that they decided to put it on film, and the Sing-Off producers liked that so much that they included it in the tour program.

  • @dorothyrosenberg1301

  • @brendasorenson6186
    @brendasorenson6186 27 днів тому

    Such a fun and silly video! I think it does an excellent job of highlighting the differences and similarities between the 2. For whatever reasons, The Sing-Off was not the best platform for displaying VP's talent, and Honey (who's an outstanding vocalist) may have not been the best fit for VP. During The Sing-Off Tour, Honey didn't join them & VP recruited another singer from Ten (who came in 2nd). You can see her (blanked on name) in the outro - she had the big blond hair.
    Who won? They both did! Just look at their loyal fan bases!

    When we get closer to the Christmas season, you should give a reaction to Home Free's Joy to the World. They do it is a jazz gospel style, with lots of chords, progressions and other frills you will geek out over. There is available a studio version (ua-cam.com/video/Ts3oEzayJHQ/v-deo.html ), but I particularly like the live version (ua-cam.com/video/uCWbYNeQVng/v-deo.html). The two are quite similar, but it shows the precision and polish they had over a decade ago.

  • @sallymaria
    @sallymaria 27 днів тому

    From what Tim and Chris have said, one of them would normally have been arranging the main competition song each week, and the other the battle song, which was performed by the bottom two groups each week, to see who got to stay. This was a battle song, not one they got to use in the show, but they resurrected it for the Sing-Off tour. The live performances from that were a lot of fun - my favourite recording is titled 20140308 Home Free & Voice Play - Survivor - Ahh - bass love...

    The program refused to accept Voiceplay without a female lead. All of the work they did on the Sing Off is available on that channel. In my opinion, adding the sixth designated female voice added a handicap to Voiceplay that was, at best, unnecessary. Given no choice, they tried to get Rachel Potter but she was competing on another program.
    It did give them exposure and they toured extensively after that.
    Voiceplay will always be the winners for me. Wait until you see the next one that's coming in November!!

      I highly recommend you find Ingrid Händel's UA-cam channel. She has the whole season of The Sing-Off cut into individual songs with judges commentary, so you can either watch full episodes or just the progression of specific groups. There are older and much-watched videos on another channel, but the video quality is much poorer (but no disrespect to the other channel -- it was all we had for a long time).

      ​@@SirHairless VP had auditioned several times and basically been the runner up each season until the 4th when the producers told them to add a female singer. They auditioned with Rachel Potter and got cast, but then Rachel was on X-factor and couldn't do both shows so they invited Honey LaRochelle to join. It sounds like a lot of who succeeded or failed was orchestrated by the producers, which didn't give VP much room to do their own thing. A lot of what makes them great is their theatrics and personalities, which is hard to show in quick sound bites.

      @@SirHairless The show 'Sing-off' was looking for groups that were innovative and not the traditional Choir or Barber Shop Quartet style that people assumed was the only way to do acapella music and did not want a boy band type group either. The requirements were to include a beatboxer (Pentatonix literally found Kevin on line last minute and had no time to practice before the show with him) and a female member in the group. The goal for the contestants and competition was to do styles and arrangements that were different in an effort to promote more interest in acapella music. Voice Play auditioned for the first season but were turned down and told to include a female singer. Home free auditioned for seasons 1, 2, and 3 but were turned down all 3 times and told to include a female singer. Pentatonix won season 3 and the promised recording contract as part of the grand prize and moved out to California right away to work with the record label. Pentatonix was dropped from that record label after only a week and told that there was no market for them to sell records because nobody was that interested in acapella music. The 'Sing-Off' was canceled after the third season in 2011 and there was no season 4 in 2012. The 'Sing- Off' was given a reprise for the Christmas holiday in 2013 and Voice Play was called and asked to audition with Rachel Potter after the producers and casting agents saw "I Knew You Were Trouble/As Long As You Love Me" posted on their You Tube page. Home Free auditioned and made the cut even though they did not have a female singer as they were innovative and different as a Country music acapella group (Country music is very popular with voting audiences on singing competition TV shows in the USA). Rachel Potter was not available for the show due to her being a contestant on 'X-Factor' so Voice Play found Honey Rochelle as a last minute temporary replacement for Rachel Potter.

    Although I definitely prefer Voiceplay over any of the other acapella groups, I do still enjoy the others, too, and Home Free are so VERY good at what they do.
    This one was so funny - and just plain fun! While Voiceplay are definitely the theater kids of acapella, Home Free come across to me as the kind of fun guys you'll find in a country tailgate party. Their humor and antics are just SO much FUN.
    The female singer here was Honey Rochelle. I wish I could find more of her singing because she's got some real pipes on her and I love it.
    Tony was also still in the group at this time. He eventually left the group to pursue running his own studio, which Layne also co-runs with him. (Fun fact: Voiceplay films their videos in that studio, too. Pattycake Productions. They have a channel here on YT. You might enjoy their content as well.)
    If you haven't explored Home Free much yet, I'd recommend it. They really are just as good as Voiceplay and I do also enjoy their style.
