WOW, that fire!!! As awesome as the song sounded, we are most relieved no one caught on fire!!! 🙄🤣 As we mention, we are headed to Memphis for Home Free's April 2nd show. If you'd like to help us get to the show, please consider donating any amount to our Wishlist item (thanks in advance). Love you all!! www.buymeacoffee.com/sikbrand/w/41005
Austin wrote a banger. Yeah I saw that guy with the pitch correction. Well, I know they can sing as we all heard them in the Sing Off and I’ve heard them in concert and there’s no doubt they can sing. People who question that don’t know the group. 😍😄
Austin is such a talented song writer (if you haven't seen "Remember My Name", "California Country", "Save the World" or "Lonely Girls World" - they're all terrific). The fire dancers are amazing and of course the singing, harmonies & beatboxing are incomparable. "I'll Go First", "Real Talk", "Off the Grid" & "Everlasting Ground" (on Austin's channel) are sooo good.
They are better in person. I had only heard them on UA-cam and CDs. Was prepared to be disappointed when I saw them in person. NOPE they hit every note every nuance. They were amazing.
I saw that video that wings of Pegasus did, and honestly he pissed me off. Not cuz he showed that home free might use auto tune, but how he seemed so set on trying to take away from their God given talents. I have seen Home Free live 6 times and they are truely an amazing gifted group of men that bring happiness and a different type of music into our lives and I appreciate all they do. 🤙
@carolburnett190 I think a lot of people might be missing the point. I have no doubt that their voices are amazing, so why do they NEED to be pitch corrected, which is the point he was trying to make.
@@carolburnett190 yep he did but he also made a remark with something with the word "monstrosity". that really ticked me off.. when he reviewed Rick Beato's production of a song which he found out had pitch correction, he was kind of being kinda respectful about it.. so i'm pissed that he made it like Home Free had the most "unethical" production.. all studios do it..
Peter Hollens is happy being his own little dictator and deciding everything for himself, that's why he decided to be solo. And he says so himself. So no, Peter wouldn't be an option I watched that autotune video, I have absolutely no issue with it. I know that it's not unusual. I heard them live, I know they can sing and sing really really well.
Adding the couple with the fire presentation was a huge factor in the video presentation. That carries over when listening to the song in a vehicle as the visual carries over in your mind . Brilliant performance by Home Free. ❣️
This is absolutely beautiful song. It was actually written by Austin, Ernie Halter, Andrew Tufano and Jeffery East. I hope that you have an absolutely amazing time at their concert. I enjoyed watching your reactions to this song.
Another writer of this song is Ernie Halter, who is famous for his "baby making" songs (Go check out one of Sweet and Low's / Tim Foust and Friends' live performances of Ernie's "I Would Look Good on You" for an example). Not claiming all the heat is Ernie's doing, but I'm sure his vibe helped.
Austin said thy had written the song but felt that it needed 'something' and when Ernie was in town Austin pulled him in and asked him to help them 'fix it'. I think he said it was the bridge mostly.
Yes you can say that this song is fire! One of my favorites from the album or maybe even my favorite. How Rob starts so beautifully very quietly and then just like with fire the flames go higher and higher, so the song went through Austin here as well. The softness of Rob and the power of Austin is a nice combination The incredible harmony was of course also present here, just like the super bassline and awesome beatboxing. Wonderful was also the video with that couple playing spectacularly with the fire. Home Free actually looks very simple, but it is still beautiful. The dark with the light of the fire. Top! Here Home Free shows again that they really can sing anything.
YES--most modern singers unfortunately use Pitch Correction BUT yes the boys prove they can sing during concerts. WINGS OF PEGASUS did show the boys singing in THE SING OFF and did say they sounded great unprocessed.
I came for the Home Free reaction, new to the channel but definitely not new to Home Free (got 20 concerts down here in Europe, the first 2 were with Chris), so I would have subbed because I enjoyed your reaction. However, I hit that sub button so fast as soon as I heard your love for Jeffrey East. I will go back and checkout all Home Free and Jeffrey reactions. I also have 6 Jeffrey East opening for Home Free acts in my backpack, here in Europe, as I am sure you already know he did for their entire 2018 Euro-tour. I fell so in love with his music, personality and songwriting skills that I put together his fan group on Facebook and together with Jeffrey and a few other Euro Fries I came up with East Buddies for his fans. I'm no longer managing the fan group, but I still love Jeffrey and his music and I'm hoping he'll find his way over to Europe again this year. This is definitely one of my many favourite Home Free songs, and you can absolutely hear Jeffrey East in it, as well as Ernie Halter who was another one of the songwriters on it. There is also a fourth person listed, someone who does a lot of writing with Jefffrey, but I can't remember his name right now. Thank you for bringing up the Wings of Pegasus-video, it really annoyed me. I know pretty much every artist uses pitch correction these days, and I know Home Free uses it. They have never denied it and actually openly say that they do use some on their recordings, just as they use layering and mixing. Some fans just don't understand these things at all, and there are these false rumours going around on UA-cam that they don't, just as there is a rumour that Adam is a world champion, twice, in beatboxing. He's not. He's never competed. Home Free has said that they get to have the best of two worlds, because live is live and it is amazing, and it requires a lot of precision and voice control for volume and harmonising and all of that, but of course it's not absolutely perfect, because as you say it is not possible. I find people's ignorance ridiculous if they actually thought that there's no engineering on their recordings. (And I'm just a human being and has no real knowledge about music or productions). The studio recordings allow them to be more ellaborate and free in their arrangements as they are also all recorded separately and then mixed together. It's a whole different game. Yes, there are a few places in a few songs where it might have been too much, but who cares. They still kill it live. It's still mind-blowing what they can do with their voices live and on recordings. It is still freaking out of this world to hear Austin do his long, high notes and runs, Rob's sweet and, almost pitch perfect, soulful voice, Chance's smooth butter-voice, Tim's rumbling bottom that literally rocks your seat, your body and the air around you, and Adam's completely insane talent, and who's bass drops also rocks your world. The harmonies that come out as a result, the joy for the music and their trade. It's all very, very real. And this Wings of Pegasus-guy made it sound as if they are not all that, and as if it is still only those who cannot sing that uses pitch correction. Wow, this was long. Thanks for reading if you did. LOL
First, a very warm welcome @carinalindberg7377 !!!! Thank you for being here, and for your thoughtful comment. I (Jillian) read every word and loved your perspectives...especially that you are a big Jeffrey East fan!! We look forward to seeing you back soon. In case you missed it, we do weekly Home FrYdays (Friday) where we host at least two videos - it's so fun. Fun starts tomorrow at 11am!!! Hope to see you!
Yeah, a lot of us saw the WoP reaction. All I have to say is I've seen the guys live quite a few times and I KNOW how great they sound. You're right, they don't need it. That's all FiL does is break down everyone's use of auto tune. I noticed a lot of comments from users who I never see commenting on most Home Free reactions, so their opinions don't matter much to me. Although, them not knowing how talented the guys are live is disappointing and after watching a breakdown like WoP - doubtful they'll look into the guys further and miss out on how truly talented they are. It is what it is. Thanks guys! 🖤🍟
Adam went to college and had a music degree for your music degree and his instrument of choice was a trumpet there is a Christmas show where he gives a trumpet solo very good
OMG I watched that (wings of Pegasus) last night, I have to say I felt like he was way over board with his analysis. I feel like you should see a group in person before you should do what he did. 😕 love y'all's channel ❤
Along with Jeffery East, check out co writer Ernie Halter. Friends of and HF. He has a great catalog and played in the now disbanded Sweet and Low. Ernie has played at Tim Foust Birthday Bash and Backyard Bashes
On a livestream Austin implied that they would be doing a talent call …open auditions….The pitch correction on their albums doesn’t surprise or disappoint me, I imagine everyone does it and why wouldn’t you try and produce a perfect sound. I have seen them live enough to know how amazing their voices are and they absolutely don’t disappoint . It is so close to their album sound you don’t even notice. I have seen performers who are terrible live…that is not Home Free! Thanks so much for another wonderful reaction!❤️🤗
I love it when the guys have had an original-songs album in the works. I listen to So Long Dixie often because their songs rock!! I love their covers too, but hearing their true talent whenever I want to is a bonus. Shooting this video seems to have brought out the kid in them! Thanks for your concern over the girl catching her hair on fire. She obviously is well practiced, and no wind! Thanks for a great Home Fr🍟Day!! ❤ Cyd
Hi guys! Love your reactions! I watched the Wings of Pegasus video and I think Phil was trying to say that they COULD have done the background ooohs and such with a keyboard, (not saying that they aren't good singers), but like you said Jeremy I believe that just about everyone uses it to some extent. However, Phil did say that he likes their live vocals better. He actually compared the sing off version of colder weather with the studio version and liked it better because it was real. I saw some other comments here that said wait until you hear them live. That is a fact and they are "ON POINT"! So if they do use it in the studio it certainly doesn't take anything away from them live. They are a fantastic group and will continue to put together great arrangements in the future. Nothing taken away from Home Free at all. In fact, I think Phil hated to do that video. lol! Have a great day!
I've never seen them in person but have watched several livestreams they've done, and they sounded about as good then as on the recordings. Wait till you see Adam's solo segment that he always does, you'll be amazed. Hope you do a video on your experience at the concert, that'd be awesome! And Jeffrey East as Austin's replacement....hmmm, that could be interesting. Seems like Sweet and Low Music Co. is on hold, so maybe.....
I was kinda freaking about the fire with the hair, too! I kept thinking, “Adam! Why is your hair down for this one?!” Austin and Jeffrey did an amazing job! I think it is probably the most commercially ready song they’ve done. It’s an ear worm, too… Fil from Wings of Pegasus is a great guy and a really good musician. He’s been doing the auto tune and pitch correction software for a few years now. In his Pentatonix comparison, he indicated upfront that he was a little uncomfortable doing it (and the discrepancy was more obvious). Of course, someone paid to have him check Home Free, and I think they probably didn’t like the results. Knowing that the guys record at home and then send their tracks in for production, and knowing a little about the process, I was not surprised. But, honestly, the guys sounded better live than they did on the produced version. Rob’s voice was so clear on the live version, and kinda of muffled on the recorded version. You will get your own opportunity to check it out! Jeremy, normally Home Free doesn’t do live sound checks. Their sound guy has something he uses. But, in the shows I’ve been to, the sound area is on the main level and you can walk right by it. I can’t remember the sound guy’s name, though. He shows up in a lot of their behind the scenes stuff. There is a video of the guys singing How Great Thou Art in a storm shelter for fans because the storm cancelled the show and they didn’t want it to be a total bust. It’s a cell phone video but they were just a few feet away.
I'm so glad you brought that up Carol! I was checking comments and was going to say this myself. Also, there is a video of them singing "Helplessly Hoping" at the Ryman Auditorium, I think, and it was incredible!
This is one of my favorites from this album. The fire dancers were wonderful! I read in the comments that the fire dancers were on AGT. They were also in I Want Crazy video. I watched about 15 seconds of Wings of Pegasus' video, and it felt like he was taking too much pleasure in finding the Autotune. Sigh 😕. With today's technology, it's almost expected that studio-produced music should be perfect. So I'm waffling in my feelings. What I DON'T like about Autotune is when it's used to make mediocre singers sound good, then promote them as being wonderful. At least HF sounds great without all the technology.
Thank you for your wonderful reaction J&J! Austin’s vocals and Adam’s beatboxing! 🔥 I am convinced Adam is either an angel or an alien! I thought the same thing. I love Jeffrey East and love any time he sings with Home Free! 😊
Love, love this song and video! Austin looks hot, and quit sexy🥵🔥just like the song he wrote! Such beautiful singing, Rob and Austin, harmonies, the beat with Adam and the professional fire dancers definitely added a lot to the video and the meaning of the lyrics! Austin has been on such a role with the amazing music he has been writing himself and with friends!❤❤ Thanks for all of your reactions guys!!❤❤
I have gone to a million Home Free concerts and they are live and absolutely great, so HATERS GONNA HATE. HF don't need auto tune, so if they use it, I'm sure it's minimal and just to smoothe a few glitches - NOT as a matter of course!!
This is such a great original song! Very sultry! Rob & Austin do a nice job taking lead on this. Love the guys harmonies, Tim's bass & Adam's awesome vocal percussion. Also really like the video with the fire & the dancers. I actually watch "Wings Of Pegasus". Really like his analysis. Was very disappointed to see that Home Free uses pitch correction & auto-tuning. Of all the a cappella groups out there, they don't need it at all as they are so extremely talented. Their live shows prove just how good they are. I know Pentatonix & VoicePlay use it too. I am not a fan! grew up on classic rock where there was none of this. You had to be able to sing & loved all the little imperfections that made all their voices unique.
I wouldn’t think it would be Peter for a tenor even though he would be great, Peter just does so much with other people. I guess sooner or later we will find out. Great job guys, this is a great song and great song writing. Low bass Kenneth.
By the way, WoP included a clip of HF doing Colder Weather on the Sing Off and noted how much better he thought they sounded without the pitch correction as he does witth every one of those auto-tune videos he does. I have to agree with him, it always sounds better when you can hear what the singer sings rather than a computer corrected version of the singer. Back in the old days, which is where I'm from, there was no such tech. Singers sounded more human and it was easy to tell a good singer from a not so good singer.
ooohhh!!!! Jeffrey on here?!?!?! Cool. I have thought about Jeffrey, he is already a part of their 'family', and is about as hyper as Austin, but his voice is pretty soft, it might not stand up to the entire group. But he does have the range that Austin does. And, yes, that is just about the lowest of Austin's range. 'Everlasting Ground' is about the lowest we have heard from him. You guys should really go check out the Sweet & Low stuff to get Jeffrey, Austin and Tim in a sextet. Either their livestreams OR the videos from Tim's Birthday Brunch last summer. As to the pitch correction - what most Home Fries say, so what? Their abilities show quite well in concert. HF doesn't do a sound check live anymore. They use the recording from the previous concert to dial the sound system in.
I like Wing of Pegasus. I watched the video your speaking of. I didn't take it as him saying that. He even said that he knows they sing very well. It's the fans that don't understand. Almost all studio albums are post-production and of course pitch corrected. But as you said, we've heard them live and know they are still superior to many singing live. But WoP said he does love Home Free. I got the impression that he was getting ready for folks to be mad at him.
Another couple names that fans have thrown out are Chris Chatham and Buegs. I don't think Chatham would work. He's actually a higher tenor than Austin, but he has a very rock edge to his voice. Buegs might work better. The only problem with Jeffrey, Buegs, or Chatham is they're all significantly shorter than the guys of Home Free. You wouldn't think that's a big deal, but they're kinda known for their "skyline".
Yah. I was thinking Blake Proehl, with his height and his background, might be a good fit with the guys. But I don't think he's a 'power tenor' and might need a decade more singing experience. It's interesting to speculate. Vocally, I can only imagine Sam Ryder. But in the end I think it's going to be someone from musical theater or gospel, rather than country music.
Yes, I saw that video from Wings of Pegasus (Fil) and found it interesting. And I agree, HF does not need pitch correction and it was disappointing to see that they use it. Now that I know it, I can hear it, at times.
Fil @ Wings of Pegasus has been on the autotune topic for quite a while. He only did Home Free because after his Pentatonix analysis a few weeks ago, people specifically requested Home Free. (oh fer silly, dontcha know) I started watching Fil for his guitar analysis, but he's decent singer too. It's his soapbox. He can say what he wants. But superfans, who pop in and just watch the one analysis of their favorite artists, don't always take it well. Personally, on the last two HF albums, I find some of the songs fixed to the point of blandness. "Colder Weather" is definitely one. Even on "Playing with Fire," which I think is one of their best original songs, I would have liked it to be a bit more punchy. We know both Rob and Austin can turn on the passion. I wish some risky-ness had made it into the final cut.
Yeah, I’ve seen quite a few of his videos. I actually don’t mind him at all. And I don’t feel he’s malicious. Or purposefully trying to be mean. Not at all. But we just have a little more knowledge on HF than he does. So his comparisons just felt off. But I actually like the dude. Everyone uses pitch correction. I mean, not EVERYONE 100% of the time…but it’s far more used, than not used. It’s just unfortunate because folks who don’t have more knowledge of production or of the artists, will get a very tainted and one sided outlook. But either way…what he does, I don’t feel is “wrong”.
@@ms.chuckfu1088aaaahhh ok! Didn’t know about that app. I use Melodyne as well as the actual Antares AutoTune software for my pitch correction. I haven’t really used others before.
Next week could you do “Champne Taste (On a Beer Budget) Tim wrote this years ago put it on his 1st Solo Album “The Best That I Can Do” and then Home Free did it for I want to say “Crazy Life” (Home Fries correct me if I’m wrong)
@musikbyjh I've been watching him a long time. He was one of the first musicians I found doing YT reactions, and he explains stuff well. He has his preferences and enthusiasms, just like everyone. Someone recommended Singscope to me. The basic version was free but seems only available on my Apple phone, not my Android. It just shows the pitch on a graph, and playsback. No editing.
I am suspect of Wings of Pegasus…. he did the same analysis on Pentatonix and shredded them as well. I really became suspect when with the Home Free one he seemed to zone in on Rob. I’m sorry, but when you decide to zone in on the one with operatic training, could have become a professional opera singer easily and is probably the least likely to sing off key I wonder about his motives, what software is he using and does it have a margin of error does it have and what equipment is he playing it through, is there any distortion? He seems to knit pick mostly on a capella groups, why? All in all, I don’t trust him or his analysis. This song is Fire and I love Austin’s lower register, especially in tender songs, it has a vulnerability to it. I will never stop loving these boys no matter what anybody says! ❤ I believe Peter Hollens told Tim he doesn’t want to travel a lot. I believe Tim’s post asked us if anyone knew of any “country power tenors”. While I love Peter and Jeffrey, I don’t think either of them is country enough or has enough power. Thanks for a fun reaction, love you guys! ❤ #HomeFree
Hi Jeremy! I know this is a late post, but I got to thinking about who Home Free might put in Austin's place. Of course we thought maybe they would ask Peter Hollins or Jeffery East, however, I just thought that if anybody could embrace the music and goofiness of the group it would be (Chris Chatham)! I may be wrong but I think he would be a good fit. What do you and Jillian think? Have a great day!
Hi friend!! Solid choice. Other Fries have mentioned his range may not fit, but we'd have to hear Chris more to formulate our own opinion. Can't recall him specifically since we've only done a song or two with Chris. So curious though...and I wonder when we'll find out?!?!
Oh, also the parts that you picked up that sounded very processed i think were intentionally so. Like in My Church with the old radio sound, they sometimes intentionally process a given bit to give it a different sound. There's a part in Boondocks / Fishing in the Dark where they intentionally compressed Austin's voice to give it a mechanical quality. Chris Rupp even talks about it in his behind the scenes "reaction" video to the song.
I'm with you. I was afraid the whole time about someone getting their hair caught by the flames. 🔥Austin's talent on this was my favorite from his low growl to ripping the roof off that high note.😅🔥 I saw that Pegasus review and have to admit he was the very 1st reactor that I had followed. I stood up for HomeFree because I've seen them live, and I also love their studio recordings, so I'm not bothered with the autotune. Their great no matter how you spin it. Sorry, but I can't let anyone bash my boys and their talent. Ask my family!😂😂😂
I think Home Free are just the best! They don't need any voice manipulation. Wings of Pegasus was not bashing them at all. He mentioned that they had great voices. He is bashing the music industry that uses & abuses auto-tuning & pitch correction.
@@dagmar.6954 Home Free intentionally does pitch correction, because they live in different states. Imagine if they want all the boys to go to the studio to do multiple takes just to get their sound right (they are a 5-man acapella group, imagine if someone gets just one note off.) I'd say pitch correction is a tool to help them. If you use pitch correction to make a horrible singer good, then that's where it is bad, at least for me. But it just enhances Home Free's sound. If they haven't used that, I think all of them might have quit 5 years ago, just due to the fatigue. Even Austin is quitting because he doesn't want to be away from home.
A question Jeremy. Because they do the majority of their recording remotely now,when Darrin mixes it, could that be the reason for the pitch correction? They are amazing singers. When you see them in person,you will be blown away! They are that good. It was just disappointing. You don't get the richness of Rob's voice in the pitch correction. You will in the concert. The live Sea Shanty shows the fullness and richness of his voice. It's so beautiful. However, Pentatonix was also heavily pitch corrected. It was sad that some fans said they would no longer be fans because of it. You will love the show! Hopefully you get a BTS interview and meet them. Thanks!!
Hey Nana Deborah! Yes is the short answer, but not always the case. We'd have to dig into a few other things as well (e.g, how and where recorded) to really know for sure. Overall, there is no question to me that Home Free is talented, and we can't wait to see them live on April 2nd in Memphis!! Thanks for the great question. 🤘🏽
@@musikbyjh Thanks for your reply. Wish I could help with the tickets. You will love seeing them live! Tim says it's not a concert,it's a party! And they do make it a party. Can't wait to hear all about your experience!
I have heard them live ande they are great! No it doesn't sound like a rekorded song, of course, but the sound great and in my opinion better. So, Pegasus can say whatever he wants. ❤
Let's just say that was HOT!! 🥵🥵🔥🔥🤷♀️ LOL I would rather have Jeffery if that was a choice. Yes, most of us saw wings of pegasus video. I hope you give us a video of what you think about them live and see if you agree. I'm not disappointed in home free.
I watch Wings of Pegasus all the time too and I saw him do PTX first and thought "oh please don't do HF" because I knew the results would be what it was (because of course somebody asked him to do HF.) 😒 To me, it doesn't bother me either because they have to compete with artists with instruments and I know those get processed too, so what's the big deal, right? That's why you have "live" concerts which isn't processed! And once you see them live and then listen to the official releases, you know there's a difference immediately. Both are very good though, live v. official! I feel like I'm getting "the best of both worlds". And Pegasus admitted that they were good, he could tell that. But once you go down that road, there are people who feel they're being cheated and it's not "true" a capella which I think is silly. But it is what it is. I love y'all. You two are in my top 3 fav reactors!! y'all are so much fun! Thx!
Personally I hate auto-tune. It takes the humanity and soul out of the vocal and those Wings of Pegasus videos demonstrate that perfectly. They sound so much better without it. Sure, they aren't always perfect, nobody is, but that's the beauty of music. The emotion and imperfections of a great singer are what makes it so good. You'll love these guys live and, as Tim says, it's not a show, it's a party. And it is!
I See Fire is a song from one of the Hobbit movies. A a cappella singer who has worked with Home Free and Tim by the name Of Peter Hollens did his version of the song with his signature multi layering. You have to see this video to believe the beauty in his work. If you've seen their video I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For then you know the man has the voice of an angel.
The fire dancers are, well, fire! 🔥 But I bet they don’t use any alcohol based hair products! I doubt I’ll go watch the other guy, but I’ve seen them live and they sound so amazing. And since they’ve been together so long-practice really does make perfect! ❤🎶
Noooo. Jeffrey East and Peter Hollins are both good singers but Neither have Austins range, I think we need an new unknown. Besides, I doubt that the fans of either of those guys would want to see them joining a group. I think an unknown with a great voice would fare better.
Peter can actuality sing higher than Austin. But I don't think either of them are a good fit. And I don't think Peter would want to take so much time away from being with his family.
Austin is such an amazing songwriter! I agree that Jeffrey East would be an amazing addition to the guys! Damn it, someone left the matches where the children could get to them! Are you going for Tim's Birthday Bash in Nashville?!
@musikbyjh It's a performance/ cocktail-dinner on the first day, the second day is a performance/brunch. My daughter went with me last year, this year we're planning on UVIP tickets this year! Would be so cool to see you guys there, would even save 2 seats at our table for you to join us!
Even adams beatboxing has filters laid over top of the vocal.. Im. Not mad at it tho.. We all know what home free can do ❤ Jeremy.. I saw the w.o.p. video too and i was a bit ticked that he pretty much said they sound like robots.. The videos he compared wasnt even a fair comparison. Im not a massive fan of autotune.. Cher ruined it for me... But if you know how to use it then it can be very helpful. Especially since singers can get voice fatigue.
I saw that Pegasus thing. Someone in the comments mentioned ed how good they sound live. Another person said you can use auto tune on live performances. Is that true?
It is true, but I don’t know how well it would work with a cappella. Someone auto tuned David Draiman on the Conan performance, and from I understand, David was majorly pissed!
So, we all seem to forget Adam is NOT a drum kit. But when you listen to another band, and hear some great percussive sounds, anyone else ever think, "Wow, that is a good sounding ADAM!" Just me? And I used to watch WoP react. Personally, I think he's milking the pitch correction thing for all its worth. Maybe trying to stay relevant? Or, to bastardize a saying, those who can't, criticize . I don't know and don't care. I've heard them without any electronic/technical assistance. They are still amazing.
You can see/hear Tim’s vocal percussion pretty well on his “Hooked on a Feeling” collab with The Bass Gang. You reacted last spring. So might be worth going back to rewatch and pay attention to Tim’s beeps and boops. 😂 The best one would have been their live 9-5 where they are all doing a percussion breakdown, but the audio/video quality is so poor. Your reaction to that was posted last July.
WOW, that fire!!! As awesome as the song sounded, we are most relieved no one caught on fire!!! 🙄🤣 As we mention, we are headed to Memphis for Home Free's April 2nd show. If you'd like to help us get to the show, please consider donating any amount to our Wishlist item (thanks in advance). Love you all!! www.buymeacoffee.com/sikbrand/w/41005
I'm going to their April 14th show in Huntsville, AL, traveling from Southeast of Atlanta. 😃👍🏼
Austin wrote a banger. Yeah I saw that guy with the pitch correction. Well, I know they can sing as we all heard them in the Sing Off and I’ve heard them in concert and there’s no doubt they can sing. People who question that don’t know the group. 😍😄
All I can say is wait until you hear them live. Everyone has production on the studio versions for polish, but their live versions are so much better!
They all beatbox with varying levels of talent.
Austin is such a talented song writer (if you haven't seen "Remember My Name", "California Country", "Save the World" or "Lonely Girls World" - they're all terrific). The fire dancers are amazing and of course the singing, harmonies & beatboxing are incomparable. "I'll Go First", "Real Talk", "Off the Grid" & "Everlasting Ground" (on Austin's channel) are sooo good.
Love me Like That-HF, Everything, If I Met You Now-Austin, Never Had a Dream Come True-duet with Makena Hartlin
This was so very beautiful! These guys are so very awesome! Love your reactions! ♥
They are better in person. I had only heard them on UA-cam and CDs. Was prepared to be disappointed when I saw them in person. NOPE they hit every note every nuance. They were amazing.
I love this song ❤❤❤❤❤❤ i will miss Austin. This is my favorite group forever.
#HOMEFREE!
I saw that video that wings of Pegasus did, and honestly he pissed me off. Not cuz he showed that home free might use auto tune, but how he seemed so set on trying to take away from their God given talents. I have seen Home Free live 6 times and they are truely an amazing gifted group of men that bring happiness and a different type of music into our lives and I appreciate all they do. 🤙
I beg to differ. I thought Fil commended their voices.
@carolburnett190 I think a lot of people might be missing the point. I have no doubt that their voices are amazing, so why do they NEED to be pitch corrected, which is the point he was trying to make.
@@peterericakaiser1717 I totally agree!
@@carolburnett190 yep he did but he also made a remark with something with the word "monstrosity". that really ticked me off.. when he reviewed Rick Beato's production of a song which he found out had pitch correction, he was kind of being kinda respectful about it.. so i'm pissed that he made it like Home Free had the most "unethical" production.. all studios do it..
Peter Hollens is happy being his own little dictator and deciding everything for himself, that's why he decided to be solo. And he says so himself. So no, Peter wouldn't be an option
I watched that autotune video, I have absolutely no issue with it. I know that it's not unusual. I heard them live, I know they can sing and sing really really well.
Any one who has heard them in concert knows how they sound and knows they are this good. Wish people would leave well enough alone.
Adding the couple with the fire presentation was a huge factor in the video presentation. That carries over when listening to the song in a vehicle as the visual carries over in your mind . Brilliant performance by Home Free. ❣️
Austin is awesome! I sure am gonna miss him😢 Great reaction🎉
This is absolutely beautiful song. It was actually written by Austin, Ernie Halter, Andrew Tufano and Jeffery East. I hope that you have an absolutely amazing time at their concert. I enjoyed watching your reactions to this song.
Another writer of this song is Ernie Halter, who is famous for his "baby making" songs (Go check out one of Sweet and Low's / Tim Foust and Friends' live performances of Ernie's "I Would Look Good on You" for an example). Not claiming all the heat is Ernie's doing, but I'm sure his vibe helped.
Austin said thy had written the song but felt that it needed 'something' and when Ernie was in town Austin pulled him in and asked him to help them 'fix it'. I think he said it was the bridge mostly.
Yes you can say that this song is fire! One of my favorites from the album or maybe even my favorite. How Rob starts so beautifully very quietly and then just like with fire the flames go higher and higher, so the song went through Austin here as well. The softness of Rob and the power of Austin is a nice combination
The incredible harmony was of course also present here, just like the super bassline and awesome beatboxing. Wonderful was also the video with that couple playing spectacularly with the fire. Home Free actually looks very simple, but it is still beautiful. The dark with the light of the fire. Top!
Here Home Free shows again that they really can sing anything.
Austin was amazing on this song, Adam is always amazing, I love Chance and Adam playing with the fire at the end, they are so goofy. Love this song
YES--most modern singers unfortunately use Pitch Correction BUT yes the boys prove they can sing during concerts. WINGS OF PEGASUS did show the boys singing in THE SING OFF and did say they sounded great unprocessed.
I came for the Home Free reaction, new to the channel but definitely not new to Home Free (got 20 concerts down here in Europe, the first 2 were with Chris), so I would have subbed because I enjoyed your reaction. However, I hit that sub button so fast as soon as I heard your love for Jeffrey East. I will go back and checkout all Home Free and Jeffrey reactions. I also have 6 Jeffrey East opening for Home Free acts in my backpack, here in Europe, as I am sure you already know he did for their entire 2018 Euro-tour. I fell so in love with his music, personality and songwriting skills that I put together his fan group on Facebook and together with Jeffrey and a few other Euro Fries I came up with East Buddies for his fans. I'm no longer managing the fan group, but I still love Jeffrey and his music and I'm hoping he'll find his way over to Europe again this year.
This is definitely one of my many favourite Home Free songs, and you can absolutely hear Jeffrey East in it, as well as Ernie Halter who was another one of the songwriters on it. There is also a fourth person listed, someone who does a lot of writing with Jefffrey, but I can't remember his name right now.
Thank you for bringing up the Wings of Pegasus-video, it really annoyed me. I know pretty much every artist uses pitch correction these days, and I know Home Free uses it. They have never denied it and actually openly say that they do use some on their recordings, just as they use layering and mixing. Some fans just don't understand these things at all, and there are these false rumours going around on UA-cam that they don't, just as there is a rumour that Adam is a world champion, twice, in beatboxing. He's not. He's never competed.
Home Free has said that they get to have the best of two worlds, because live is live and it is amazing, and it requires a lot of precision and voice control for volume and harmonising and all of that, but of course it's not absolutely perfect, because as you say it is not possible. I find people's ignorance ridiculous if they actually thought that there's no engineering on their recordings. (And I'm just a human being and has no real knowledge about music or productions).
The studio recordings allow them to be more ellaborate and free in their arrangements as they are also all recorded separately and then mixed together. It's a whole different game. Yes, there are a few places in a few songs where it might have been too much, but who cares.
They still kill it live. It's still mind-blowing what they can do with their voices live and on recordings. It is still freaking out of this world to hear Austin do his long, high notes and runs, Rob's sweet and, almost pitch perfect, soulful voice, Chance's smooth butter-voice, Tim's rumbling bottom that literally rocks your seat, your body and the air around you, and Adam's completely insane talent, and who's bass drops also rocks your world. The harmonies that come out as a result, the joy for the music and their trade. It's all very, very real. And this Wings of Pegasus-guy made it sound as if they are not all that, and as if it is still only those who cannot sing that uses pitch correction.
Wow, this was long. Thanks for reading if you did. LOL
First, a very warm welcome @carinalindberg7377 !!!! Thank you for being here, and for your thoughtful comment. I (Jillian) read every word and loved your perspectives...especially that you are a big Jeffrey East fan!! We look forward to seeing you back soon. In case you missed it, we do weekly Home FrYdays (Friday) where we host at least two videos - it's so fun. Fun starts tomorrow at 11am!!! Hope to see you!
Thanks for reacting!
Yeah, a lot of us saw the WoP reaction. All I have to say is I've seen the guys live quite a few times and I KNOW how great they sound. You're right, they don't need it. That's all FiL does is break down everyone's use of auto tune. I noticed a lot of comments from users who I never see commenting on most Home Free reactions, so their opinions don't matter much to me. Although, them not knowing how talented the guys are live is disappointing and after watching a breakdown like WoP - doubtful they'll look into the guys further and miss out on how truly talented they are. It is what it is. Thanks guys! 🖤🍟
Great reaction and video J&J!
You aren’t the only one still pissed about about the judges remarks about Rob on the song off. ❤
LOL!! Right?! Don't think we'll ever get over that :(
This is my fav Austin original!! Tge boys were amazing!! Hot!!!!!
Adam went to college and had a music degree for your music degree and his instrument of choice was a trumpet there is a Christmas show where he gives a trumpet solo very good
OMG I watched that (wings of Pegasus) last night, I have to say I felt like he was way over board with his analysis. I feel like you should see a group in person before you should do what he did. 😕 love y'all's channel ❤
Such a great song! Love that Jeffrey and Austin are writers on it. And the fire dancers! 🔥👏❤️
I love this.
Along with Jeffery East, check out co writer Ernie Halter. Friends of and HF. He has a great catalog and played in the now disbanded Sweet and Low. Ernie has played at Tim Foust Birthday Bash and Backyard Bashes
Billy Gilmsn would make a great addition to Home Free!
On a livestream Austin implied that they would be doing a talent call …open auditions….The pitch correction on their albums doesn’t surprise or disappoint me, I imagine everyone does it and why wouldn’t you try and produce a perfect sound. I have seen them live enough to know how amazing their voices are and they absolutely don’t disappoint . It is so close to their album sound you don’t even notice. I have seen performers who are terrible live…that is not Home Free! Thanks so much for another wonderful reaction!❤️🤗
I love it when the guys have had an original-songs album in the works. I listen to So Long Dixie often because their songs rock!! I love their covers too, but hearing their true talent whenever I want to is a bonus. Shooting this video seems to have brought out the kid in them! Thanks for your concern over the girl catching her hair on fire. She obviously is well practiced, and no wind! Thanks for a great Home
Fr🍟Day!! ❤ Cyd
Happy FrYday, Cyd!! Always love seeing your comments!
How low can Austin go?
You can hear his Tim imitation in today’s Story Time. 😂😂😂
😂😂
In the top 5 for me
You will not be disappointed, seeing them last year in England was absolutely grand…
Hi guys! Love your reactions! I watched the Wings of Pegasus video and I think Phil was trying to say that they COULD have done the background ooohs and such with a keyboard, (not saying that they aren't good singers), but like you said Jeremy I believe that just about everyone uses it to some extent. However, Phil did say that he likes their live vocals better. He actually compared the sing off version of colder weather with the studio version and liked it better because it was real. I saw some other comments here that said wait until you hear them live. That is a fact and they are "ON POINT"! So if they do use it in the studio it certainly doesn't take anything away from them live. They are a fantastic group and will continue to put together great arrangements in the future. Nothing taken away from Home Free at all. In fact, I think Phil hated to do that video. lol! Have a great day!
I've never seen them in person but have watched several livestreams they've done, and they sounded about as good then as on the recordings. Wait till you see Adam's solo segment that he always does, you'll be amazed. Hope you do a video on your experience at the concert, that'd be awesome! And Jeffrey East as Austin's replacement....hmmm, that could be interesting. Seems like Sweet and Low Music Co. is on hold, so maybe.....
I was kinda freaking about the fire with the hair, too! I kept thinking, “Adam! Why is your hair down for this one?!” Austin and Jeffrey did an amazing job! I think it is probably the most commercially ready song they’ve done. It’s an ear worm, too…
Fil from Wings of Pegasus is a great guy and a really good musician. He’s been doing the auto tune and pitch correction software for a few years now. In his Pentatonix comparison, he indicated upfront that he was a little uncomfortable doing it (and the discrepancy was more obvious). Of course, someone paid to have him check Home Free, and I think they probably didn’t like the results. Knowing that the guys record at home and then send their tracks in for production, and knowing a little about the process, I was not surprised. But, honestly, the guys sounded better live than they did on the produced version. Rob’s voice was so clear on the live version, and kinda of muffled on the recorded version. You will get your own opportunity to check it out!
Jeremy, normally Home Free doesn’t do live sound checks. Their sound guy has something he uses. But, in the shows I’ve been to, the sound area is on the main level and you can walk right by it. I can’t remember the sound guy’s name, though. He shows up in a lot of their behind the scenes stuff.
There is a video of the guys singing How Great Thou Art in a storm shelter for fans because the storm cancelled the show and they didn’t want it to be a total bust. It’s a cell phone video but they were just a few feet away.
And it was amazing!
I'm so glad you brought that up Carol! I was checking comments and was going to say this myself. Also, there is a video of them singing "Helplessly Hoping" at the Ryman Auditorium, I think, and it was incredible!
Their sound guy is Chris W...(can't remember his last name at the moment)
This is one of my favorites from this album. The fire dancers were wonderful! I read in the comments that the fire dancers were on AGT. They were also in I Want Crazy video.
I watched about 15 seconds of Wings of Pegasus' video, and it felt like he was taking too much pleasure in finding the Autotune. Sigh 😕. With today's technology, it's almost expected that studio-produced music should be perfect. So I'm waffling in my feelings. What I DON'T like about Autotune is when it's used to make mediocre singers sound good, then promote them as being wonderful. At least HF sounds great without all the technology.
Thank you for your wonderful reaction J&J! Austin’s vocals and Adam’s beatboxing! 🔥 I am convinced Adam is either an angel or an alien! I thought the same thing. I love Jeffrey East and love any time he sings with Home Free! 😊
Love, love this song and video! Austin looks hot, and quit sexy🥵🔥just like the song he wrote! Such beautiful singing, Rob and Austin, harmonies, the beat with Adam and the professional fire dancers definitely added a lot to the video and the meaning of the lyrics! Austin has been on such a role with the amazing music he has been writing himself and with friends!❤❤
Thanks for all of your reactions guys!!❤❤
I have gone to a million Home Free concerts and they are live and absolutely great, so HATERS GONNA HATE. HF don't need auto tune, so if they use it, I'm sure it's minimal and just to smoothe a few glitches - NOT as a matter of course!!
I SAW IT
#HOMEFREE
I have been thinking the same thing! Jeffrey East would be perfect! ❤
Right?!?! YES!!!
This is such a great original song! Very sultry! Rob & Austin do a nice job taking lead on this. Love the guys harmonies, Tim's bass & Adam's awesome vocal percussion. Also really like the video with the fire & the dancers.
I actually watch "Wings Of Pegasus". Really like his analysis. Was very disappointed to see that Home Free uses pitch correction & auto-tuning. Of all the a cappella groups out there, they don't need it at all as they are so extremely talented. Their live shows prove just how good they are. I know Pentatonix & VoicePlay use it too. I am not a fan! grew up on classic rock where there was none of this. You had to be able to sing & loved all the little imperfections that made all their voices unique.
Totally agree Dagmar!
Love this song one of my favorites
I wouldn’t think it would be Peter for a tenor even though he would be great, Peter just does so much with other people. I guess sooner or later we will find out. Great job guys, this is a great song and great song writing. Low bass Kenneth.
By the way, WoP included a clip of HF doing Colder Weather on the Sing Off and noted how much better he thought they sounded without the pitch correction as he does witth every one of those auto-tune videos he does. I have to agree with him, it always sounds better when you can hear what the singer sings rather than a computer corrected version of the singer. Back in the old days, which is where I'm from, there was no such tech. Singers sounded more human and it was easy to tell a good singer from a not so good singer.
ooohhh!!!! Jeffrey on here?!?!?! Cool.
I have thought about Jeffrey, he is already a part of their 'family', and is about as hyper as Austin, but his voice is pretty soft, it might not stand up to the entire group. But he does have the range that Austin does. And, yes, that is just about the lowest of Austin's range. 'Everlasting Ground' is about the lowest we have heard from him. You guys should really go check out the Sweet & Low stuff to get Jeffrey, Austin and Tim in a sextet. Either their livestreams OR the videos from Tim's Birthday Brunch last summer.
As to the pitch correction - what most Home Fries say, so what? Their abilities show quite well in concert.
HF doesn't do a sound check live anymore. They use the recording from the previous concert to dial the sound system in.
I like Wing of Pegasus. I watched the video your speaking of. I didn't take it as him saying that. He even said that he knows they sing very well. It's the fans that don't understand. Almost all studio albums are post-production and of course pitch corrected. But as you said, we've heard them live and know they are still superior to many singing live. But WoP said he does love Home Free. I got the impression that he was getting ready for folks to be mad at him.
Tough position to be in for sure!!
Another couple names that fans have thrown out are Chris Chatham and Buegs. I don't think Chatham would work. He's actually a higher tenor than Austin, but he has a very rock edge to his voice. Buegs might work better. The only problem with Jeffrey, Buegs, or Chatham is they're all significantly shorter than the guys of Home Free. You wouldn't think that's a big deal, but they're kinda known for their "skyline".
Yah. I was thinking Blake Proehl, with his height and his background, might be a good fit with the guys.
But I don't think he's a 'power tenor' and might need a decade more singing experience.
It's interesting to speculate.
Vocally, I can only imagine Sam Ryder.
But in the end I think it's going to be someone from musical theater or gospel, rather than country music.
@@ms.chuckfu1088 I expect it's going to be someone we haven't heard much from, honestly. They found Austin on a cruise ship, for instance
@@lrfcowper agree
Yes, I saw that video from Wings of Pegasus (Fil) and found it interesting. And I agree, HF does not need pitch correction and it was disappointing to see that they use it. Now that I know it, I can hear it, at times.
I don't know anything about pitch correction but I have seen them live and they are just as good live.
Peter Hollens would be great to join the boys--who knows if he wants too BUT it wouldn't hurt for guys to ask him!
Wings of Pegasus has obviously never seen them in person......
Fil @ Wings of Pegasus has been on the autotune topic for quite a while. He only did Home Free because after his Pentatonix analysis a few weeks ago, people specifically requested Home Free. (oh fer silly, dontcha know)
I started watching Fil for his guitar analysis, but he's decent singer too. It's his soapbox. He can say what he wants. But superfans, who pop in and just watch the one analysis of their favorite artists, don't always take it well.
Personally, on the last two HF albums, I find some of the songs fixed to the point of blandness. "Colder Weather" is definitely one.
Even on "Playing with Fire," which I think is one of their best original songs, I would have liked it to be a bit more punchy. We know both Rob and Austin can turn on the passion. I wish some risky-ness had made it into the final cut.
The Singscope app is one way to see a graph like Fil shows. I don't find it picks up bass notes very well though.
Yeah, I’ve seen quite a few of his videos. I actually don’t mind him at all. And I don’t feel he’s malicious. Or purposefully trying to be mean. Not at all. But we just have a little more knowledge on HF than he does. So his comparisons just felt off. But I actually like the dude. Everyone uses pitch correction. I mean, not EVERYONE 100% of the time…but it’s far more used, than not used. It’s just unfortunate because folks who don’t have more knowledge of production or of the artists, will get a very tainted and one sided outlook. But either way…what he does, I don’t feel is “wrong”.
@@ms.chuckfu1088aaaahhh ok! Didn’t know about that app. I use Melodyne as well as the actual Antares AutoTune software for my pitch correction. I haven’t really used others before.
Next week could you do “Champne Taste (On a Beer Budget) Tim wrote this years ago put it on his 1st Solo Album “The Best That I Can Do” and then Home Free did it for I want to say “Crazy Life” (Home Fries correct me if I’m wrong)
@musikbyjh I've been watching him a long time. He was one of the first musicians I found doing YT reactions, and he explains stuff well. He has his preferences and enthusiasms, just like everyone.
Someone recommended Singscope to me. The basic version was free but seems only available on my Apple phone, not my Android. It just shows the pitch on a graph, and playsback. No editing.
I am suspect of Wings of Pegasus…. he did the same analysis on Pentatonix and shredded them as well. I really became suspect when with the Home Free one he seemed to zone in on Rob. I’m sorry, but when you decide to zone in on the one with operatic training, could have become a professional opera singer easily and is probably the least likely to sing off key I wonder about his motives, what software is he using and does it have a margin of error does it have and what equipment is he playing it through, is there any distortion? He seems to knit pick mostly on a capella groups, why? All in all, I don’t trust him or his analysis.
This song is Fire and I love Austin’s lower register, especially in tender songs, it has a vulnerability to it. I will never stop loving these boys no matter what anybody says! ❤
I believe Peter Hollens told Tim he doesn’t want to travel a lot. I believe Tim’s post asked us if anyone knew of any “country power tenors”. While I love Peter and Jeffrey, I don’t think either of them is country enough or has enough power.
Thanks for a fun reaction, love you guys! ❤ #HomeFree
Hi Jeremy! I know this is a late post, but I got to thinking about who Home Free might put in Austin's place. Of course we thought maybe they would ask Peter Hollins or Jeffery East, however, I just thought that if anybody could embrace the music and goofiness of the group it would be (Chris Chatham)! I may be wrong but I think he would be a good fit. What do you and Jillian think? Have a great day!
Hi friend!! Solid choice. Other Fries have mentioned his range may not fit, but we'd have to hear Chris more to formulate our own opinion. Can't recall him specifically since we've only done a song or two with Chris. So curious though...and I wonder when we'll find out?!?!
Oh, also the parts that you picked up that sounded very processed i think were intentionally so. Like in My Church with the old radio sound, they sometimes intentionally process a given bit to give it a different sound. There's a part in Boondocks / Fishing in the Dark where they intentionally compressed Austin's voice to give it a mechanical quality. Chris Rupp even talks about it in his behind the scenes "reaction" video to the song.
I'm with you. I was afraid the whole time about someone getting their hair caught by the flames. 🔥Austin's talent on this was my favorite from his low growl to ripping the roof off that high note.😅🔥 I saw that Pegasus review and have to admit he was the very 1st reactor that I had followed. I stood up for HomeFree because I've seen them live, and I also love their studio recordings, so I'm not bothered with the autotune. Their great no matter how you spin it. Sorry, but I can't let anyone bash my boys and their talent. Ask my family!😂😂😂
I think Home Free are just the best! They don't need any voice manipulation. Wings of Pegasus was not bashing them at all. He mentioned that they had great voices. He is bashing the music industry that uses & abuses auto-tuning & pitch correction.
@@dagmar.6954 Home Free intentionally does pitch correction, because they live in different states. Imagine if they want all the boys to go to the studio to do multiple takes just to get their sound right (they are a 5-man acapella group, imagine if someone gets just one note off.) I'd say pitch correction is a tool to help them. If you use pitch correction to make a horrible singer good, then that's where it is bad, at least for me. But it just enhances Home Free's sound. If they haven't used that, I think all of them might have quit 5 years ago, just due to the fatigue. Even Austin is quitting because he doesn't want to be away from home.
A question Jeremy. Because they do the majority of their recording remotely now,when Darrin mixes it, could that be the reason for the pitch correction? They are amazing singers. When you see them in person,you will be blown away! They are that good. It was just disappointing. You don't get the richness of Rob's voice in the pitch correction. You will in the concert. The live Sea Shanty shows the fullness and richness of his voice. It's so beautiful. However, Pentatonix was also heavily pitch corrected. It was sad that some fans said they would no longer be fans because of it. You will love the show! Hopefully you get a BTS interview and meet them. Thanks!!
Hey Nana Deborah! Yes is the short answer, but not always the case. We'd have to dig into a few other things as well (e.g, how and where recorded) to really know for sure. Overall, there is no question to me that Home Free is talented, and we can't wait to see them live on April 2nd in Memphis!! Thanks for the great question. 🤘🏽
@@musikbyjh Thanks for your reply. Wish I could help with the tickets. You will love seeing them live! Tim says it's not a concert,it's a party! And they do make it a party. Can't wait to hear all about your experience!
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥🔥🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥‼️
&, I think Chris Chatham was in on the writing 🔥❤️🔥🔥‼️
You're going to love this!!
I have heard them live ande they are great! No it doesn't sound like a rekorded song, of course, but the sound great and in my opinion better. So, Pegasus can say whatever he wants. ❤
Let's just say that was HOT!! 🥵🥵🔥🔥🤷♀️ LOL
I would rather have Jeffery if that was a choice. Yes, most of us saw wings of pegasus video. I hope you give us a video of what you think about them live and see if you agree. I'm not disappointed in home free.
RUUUTHHH!!!! Ugh, I (Jillian) didn't see the Wings of Pegasus video, and I'm happy not to. I stand by our guys massive talent!!!!
@@musikbyjh yeah, it's kind of hard to watch. Always stand by our boys 🥰🥰
I watch Wings of Pegasus all the time too and I saw him do PTX first and thought "oh please don't do HF" because I knew the results would be what it was (because of course somebody asked him to do HF.) 😒 To me, it doesn't bother me either because they have to compete with artists with instruments and I know those get processed too, so what's the big deal, right? That's why you have "live" concerts which isn't processed! And once you see them live and then listen to the official releases, you know there's a difference immediately. Both are very good though, live v. official! I feel like I'm getting "the best of both worlds". And Pegasus admitted that they were good, he could tell that. But once you go down that road, there are people who feel they're being cheated and it's not "true" a capella which I think is silly. But it is what it is. I love y'all. You two are in my top 3 fav reactors!! y'all are so much fun! Thx!
Great comment all around, and thank you for the sweet compliment. This makes us smile SO big!!!
Personally I hate auto-tune. It takes the humanity and soul out of the vocal and those Wings of Pegasus videos demonstrate that perfectly. They sound so much better without it. Sure, they aren't always perfect, nobody is, but that's the beauty of music. The emotion and imperfections of a great singer are what makes it so good. You'll love these guys live and, as Tim says, it's not a show, it's a party. And it is!
I See Fire is a song from one of the Hobbit movies. A a cappella singer who has worked with Home Free and Tim by the name Of Peter Hollens did his version of the song with his signature multi layering. You have to see this video to believe the beauty in his work. If you've seen their video I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For then you know the man has the voice of an angel.
The fire dancers are, well, fire! 🔥 But I bet they don’t use any alcohol based hair products! I doubt I’ll go watch the other guy, but I’ve seen them live and they sound so amazing. And since they’ve been together so long-practice really does make perfect! ❤🎶
Noooo. Jeffrey East and Peter Hollins are both good singers but Neither have Austins range, I think we need an new unknown. Besides, I doubt that the fans of either of those guys would want to see them joining a group. I think an unknown with a great voice would fare better.
Peter can actuality sing higher than Austin. But I don't think either of them are a good fit. And I don't think Peter would want to take so much time away from being with his family.
Austin is such an amazing songwriter! I agree that Jeffrey East would be an amazing addition to the guys! Damn it, someone left the matches where the children could get to them! Are you going for Tim's Birthday Bash in Nashville?!
Hey Judy!!! First we are hearing of Tim's bday bash. Wouldn't THAT be fun!!!
@musikbyjh It's a performance/ cocktail-dinner on the first day, the second day is a performance/brunch. My daughter went with me last year, this year we're planning on UVIP tickets this year! Would be so cool to see you guys there, would even save 2 seats at our table for you to join us!
Even adams beatboxing has filters laid over top of the vocal.. Im. Not mad at it tho.. We all know what home free can do ❤ Jeremy.. I saw the w.o.p. video too and i was a bit ticked that he pretty much said they sound like robots.. The videos he compared wasnt even a fair comparison. Im not a massive fan of autotune.. Cher ruined it for me... But if you know how to use it then it can be very helpful. Especially since singers can get voice fatigue.
I saw that Pegasus thing. Someone in the comments mentioned ed how good they sound live. Another person said you can use auto tune on live performances. Is that true?
It is true, but I don’t know how well it would work with a cappella. Someone auto tuned David Draiman on the Conan performance, and from I understand, David was majorly pissed!
So, we all seem to forget Adam is NOT a drum kit. But when you listen to another band, and hear some great percussive sounds, anyone else ever think, "Wow, that is a good sounding ADAM!"
Just me?
And I used to watch WoP react. Personally, I think he's milking the pitch correction thing for all its worth. Maybe trying to stay relevant? Or, to bastardize a saying, those who can't, criticize . I don't know and don't care. I've heard them without any electronic/technical assistance. They are still amazing.
You can see/hear Tim’s vocal percussion pretty well on his “Hooked on a Feeling” collab with The Bass Gang. You reacted last spring. So might be worth going back to rewatch and pay attention to Tim’s beeps and boops. 😂
The best one would have been their live 9-5 where they are all doing a percussion breakdown, but the audio/video quality is so poor. Your reaction to that was posted last July.
i was more upset at pitch guy
