You are officially a Home Fry!!! They can do no wrong with any song! They have a funny side as well. Try "When a Man Loves a Woman" for another serious one, and "The Butts Remix" for their comical side. But any song you pick will be a winner!! Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole!!! ❤
When they were on the NBC show the Sing Off (they won in 2013) Shawn Stockman of Boyz II Men was a judge and he loved them. I think they wanted to do right by him. Rob (lead here) killed it and they are all so good. Those harmonies are great.
I get so tickled when reactors hear Home Free and are instantly hooked. Home Free has 200+ UA-cam videos. During the country's lock down, Home Free released new videos each month. They would each film from their homes (or other isolated locations) using their cell phones. They helped keep us Home Fries sane during the pandemic. They've released a new album "Lock Down" of their quarantine songs. They have several humorous videos, concerts, from the vault (behind-the-scenes), story time with Tim, collaborations with Peter Hollens. Tim Foust, Austin Brown and Adam Chance each have independent UA-cam channels. Misty Mountains, Brothers in Arms, Helplessly Hoping, How Great Thou Art, Amazing Grace, among others, are mesmerizing. Enjoy the journey!
These guys do an amazing job of this song! They can do any genre including R&B. Rob's voice has so much feeling & soul in it. Austin adding his higher tones, Chance harmonizing in the back, Tim adding some bass & Adam with his fabulous vocal percussion. These guys are my favorite a cappella group out there. All their songs are good whether it is serious, heart warming or funny. "Take Me Home Country Roads", "In The Blood", "Hillbilly Bone", "American Pie", "Blue Ain't Your Color", "One Man Band", "Helplessly Hoping", "Seven Bridges Road", "How Great Thou Art", "Elvira", "Butt's Remix", "Ring Of Fire", "When A Man Loves A Woman", "Sea Shanty Medley", "Meet In The Middle", "Honey I'm Good" etc.
LOVED your reaction, Greg! This is THE BEST a cappella group...PERIOD! They found each other! This group was started in 2000 by 2 brothers from Minnesota, Chris Rupp (left for a solo career in 2016 so he'll be in all the videos BEFORE 2016) & the current vocal percussionist, Adam Rupp, who can sound like anything he wants to imitate)! Adam is a 2 time beat boxing champion & we're not sure he's really human!👽 Adam Chance (called "Chance" to avoid confusion with having 2 Adams) replaced Chris Rupp & he's from the sticks of southern Alabama. Taking the lead on this song is smooth tenor Rob Lundquist, also from Minnesota. We call him "Gospel Rob"! Their basso profundo, Tim Foust, has a 5+ octave from the depths of "you know where" to high tenor (had long dark hair here but he now has short hair). Finally, Austin Brown, high tenor, who's been with them since 2012 & they found him singing on a cruise ship. He's from south Georgia & he's indescribable! They don't have a "lead singer". They choose the best one for each song. They're not only incredibly talented, they're humble, kind, generous & hysterically funny! Their arrangements are perfection even when they're being their fun, goofy selves! Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole! I subscribed for more Home Free! 😊
I was looking through the comments to see if anyone had broken the group down any, and see they have. Would like to add that just bc u hear them do one thing doesn’t mean they can’t do another. Like to No-Monica that Rupp does, I have seen Austin do live. Chance take over bass and go low when Tim does something else. All 5 can beatbox. Just these guys are super talented.
@@jasonwalker8324 I always tell peopple that this is a group of 5 guys with 5 Tenors 3 Basses 3 Baritones 4 Beatboxers and 1 FREAK OF NATURE Vocal Percussionist/Beatboxer/Alien LOL some say i´m crazy but i just tell them to prove me wrong
I used to listen to this Boyz II Men song so many times. Home Free puts its own twist on it while keeping the respect for the original, so now it's the turn of this version. Rob killed it. There is so much soul in his voice. Beautiful!!! But I know that without the other members it would never have sounded so perfect. But that is precisely what Home Free is the number 1 A-Cappella group for me. One by one, everyone has an important contribution. Everyone has their own specialty. And then the glue of the group Adam with his unbelievably inhuman beatboxing/vocal percussion/mouth sounds. Although it is of course even if it is a song without beatboxing it sounds great because of the great background vocals.
The "perfect group" took awhile to achieve. I think sheer luck and great timing was what did it. Lol I have been a Home Fry for years and it still amazes me how beautifully such varied voices and timbres fit like a glove! ❤ Please do "When a Man Loves a Woman"! Prepare to have your mind blown! 🤯😳
These guys have the richest harmonies I have ever heard in a band. Every note absolutely perfect and clear. I love that the group doesn't have a set lead singer. It's whoever's voice fits the song best that sings. And the background music is phenomenal. Another great reaction, thank you!
@@michelledorning9404 Rob and Austin are the lead singers. What the other guys do is called background music or background sound. The beatboxing is also part of the background music, of course.
That's how we feel every time they drop new music! Just all grins & giggles! They kicked this one in the behind! Hard to remember that there is no instruments! Love Homefree! Great reaction! Thanks😍😍
Loved your reaction. I was blown away by them too. You can't go wrong with any of their songs, they are really versatile and can sing just about anything... If they sang the alphabet, they would blow us away. Keep reacting to them please and Thank you! :-)
Definitely the "Butts Remix"! Also, "Thinking Out Loud", an Ed Sheeran/Marvin Gaye mashup. You will NOT be disappointed! Welcome to the "Home Fry" club!!
Their Thinking Out Loud/Let's Get It On mashup is not to be missed. The couple on screen is Riley and Mckinzie Zamber, aka The Hound + The Fox. They also appear briefly in Home Free's Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer. They have a singing career of their own, as a duo and with Adam Chance. All of them well worth checking out.
Rob Lundquist (the bearded guy with the glasses) has a voice like melted butter. :) Tim Foust (the DEEP bass) is incomparable. Austin Brown (the high tenor) can break hearts.
IMO, nothing will ever replace the original magic from hearing Boyz 11 Men sing this masterpiece, & I am so happy that Home Free, was able to keep the original integrity of the song, yet still inject a little of their own magic, allowing us, to fall in love with it, all over again 💕 I don't believe any other group, other than Home Free, could have pulled this off 💕
The only reason I clicked on your channel is because I wanted to see your reaction to Home Free. They are the real deal and now I have subscribed to your channel and wish you nothing but goodness man.
Rob's scales sent shivers up and down my spine!! ❤️ First time seeing your reactions, and I have to admit that you described exactly what I was feeling....glad I hit the subscribe button !!
This was the first one I ever watched by them, and I'm not gonna lie, I expected to be *angry that 'they'd messed up' my Boyz song!! I have followed them since! Never looked back! I have been a HomeFry Ever Since!!!❤❤❤❤
these gentlemen are really really great !!! Another one you should react to from Home Free is a cover of Kane Brown's "Heaven"....it's one to get your lady & listen to it....she'll melt
Greg in a little history of Home Free. Enjoy...I have been following them for years as our quartet learned to pace ourselves and blend and listen to each other which has made our quartet a better quartet and better persons in the long end. Home Free was originally formed in January 2001 by Chris Rupp in Mankato, Minnesota, when some of its members were still in their teens. The five founding members were brothers Chris and Adam Rupp, Matt Atwood, Darren Scruggs, and Dan Lemke. They took their name from a boat owned by Atwood's grandfather who helped support the group financially in their early years.The group began as a hobby for the singers, but they gradually grew in experience and popularity. By 2007 they had enough of a following to pursue music full-time. During this period, the Rupp brothers and Atwood formed the core of the group, with Atwood singing lead tenor. Other members of the group came and went. Current member Rob Lundquist, another Minnesotan, joined in 2008. Now you know the rest of the story. Enjoy their music....
I agree. This is a song I grew up with. Would have pissed me off if they didn't nail it. They took it to another level without disrespecting where it came from. Perfect.
I'm really enjoying your reactions to the BEST acapella group you will ever hear Home Free. They sing all genre's and do it well. Your were just listening to gospel "Rob" the big guy with beard and glasses.
Home Free is an American country a cappella group of five vocalists: Austin Brown, Rob Lundquist, Adam Rupp, Tim Foust, and Adam Chance. Starting as a show group, they toured with approximately 200 shows a year across the United States. The group won the fourth season of The Sing-Off on NBC in 2013. They sang an arrangement of Hunter Hayes' "I Want Crazy" as their final competitive song, earning the group $100,000 and a recording contract with Sony. The band released their first major label album, Crazy Life, in February 2014.[4] Their most recent album, So Long Dixie, was released in November 2022.
Welcome to the wonderful world of Home Free! Just in case no one has told you, the current members are: Austin Brown (high tenor in the blue and gold jacket), Rob Lundquist (tenor in the tan jacket), Adam Chance (baritone, between Rob and Austin. He also takes over the bass line when Tim is singing lead.), Tim Foust (bass with a 5+ octave range) and Adam Rupp (world class beat-boxing phenomenon). Adam Rupp and his brother Chris started the group, but Chris eventually decided to further his solo career, so Adam Chance was recruited. To fully appreciate Tim's vocal range, check out his version of "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow/Stay." It will knock your socks into next week.
Baritone is between tenor and bass -- Chance's range is between Rob and Tim. When Adam *Rupp* sings, he's the one that's between Austin and Rob, since he's a tenor.
I have had the immense pleasure of seeing them in concert 5 times in 3 different states and they sound exactly like this in person. They started as predominately country but branched out into almost all genres. You will love their cover of Shakira's "Try Everything."
welcome to the rabbit hole of Home Free! they have sooooo many songs and never let ya down...When a Man Loves a Woman..My Church...Butts Remix...Hillbilly Bone to name a few
I have never met anyone who does not become a Home Frie from the very first time they hear these guys no matter what song they sing. They are perfectionist on every song they do.
HF may be country, but they have heart and they bring the old school back to life. They are funny, family friendly good old boys who always bring it to everything they do. From the old doo wap songs to timeless classics. They make you laugh, cry, fall in love, and remember the man upstairs. Thank you for your great reaction!
Boyz II Men are so proud of these boys how they did this song they did this to perfection.. They kept true to their self and their style...God bless these boys...Shawn from Boyz II Men are good friends with them..🏡🆓🏡🍟
I love this group, too. So many of their songs give so many feels, but the one that stands out for me is Helplessly Hoping. The harmonies in that one are superb.
Welcome to the Home Fries!!! They don't rush anything and if you want to find out about their history Chris Rupp (who founded the group) has a series on his channel called the History of Home Free. Since you're officially a Home Fry I just subscribed. Keep the reactions coming please. It's a fun rabbit hole to explore.
Welcome to the land of Home Free! You are officially a Home Fry!!! Adam Rupp (beatboxer extraordinaire, regarded in some circles as the best beatboxer out there) and his brother, Chris Rupp, were among the original members of Home Free, formed in 2001. They call Minnesota home, along with melodic tenor Rob Lunquist, who joined the group in 2008. In 2010, Tim Foust, singer/songwriter and native Texan, toured with Home Free as a guest voice until 2012 when he became the full-time mind - and speaker - blowing bass. In 2012, Home Free signed on as guest performers on a Royal Caribbean cruise ship where they met southern Georgian Austin Brown who was a featured performer and expressed interest in Home Free. Austin joined Home Free in 2013 filling the upper ranges with his soaring melodic tenor. Also in 2013, Home Free auditioned with this line-up for The Sing Off, fourth season, and changed to a more country sound with which won the competition. In 2016, native Floridian, Adam Chance joined the group when Chris Rupp decided to strike out on his own. Usually called Chance, he sing bass, giving Tim's five octave range more options for harmony. Chance also fills the baritone and adds extra depth by adding another layer of beatboxing with Adam Rupp, who BTW, has a nice set of pipes himself. All five members of Home Free have backgrounds in musical training. The Rupp Brothers and Adam Lunquist all have BAs in music. Tim Foust and Austin Brown are active in songwriting and arranging for the group. They are an extraordinary group and seem to truly love what they are doing. And it shows in every arrangement, every chord, every note they share with those of us bless to hear them sing.
I haven't been able to find any reaction by you of Home Free's O Holy Night. You titled one of their other songs a "masterpiece of skill," but you're missing out if you haven't heard them perform O Holy Night. In my opinion, it's the most beautiful piece they've done yet. To me, O Holy Night shines with the group's fantastic ability to harmonize and to build the song to a nearly heart-stopping crescendo. It may not be the holidays, but this performance really can't be constrained by time.
Adam the beat boxer and his brother Chris formed the band and Chris left , and then another Adam chance joined the group. Plus Rob, Tim, and a Austin brown . They are the best I can't believe how great they are. We are very blessed to be able to listen to them.
Just subbed. Home Free are unlike anything you've heard before. The fact that they are A Capella just blows my mind every time. They're so versatile and perform so many different genres and do them all so well! They are my favorite group ever, a capella or not. I cant wait to see your reactions as you get into them more. Such a great, respectful teaction... thank you!! See you next time!
I absolutely love homefree!!! My husband took me to a concert for our anniversary last year and I was floored. Tim's bass voice shook the rafters all the way to the back of the building. It was amazing ❤️❤️❤️
I have loved Home Free for a long time They are awesome try a listen to some of thier Gospel singing. And all About That Bass Meagan Trainor. Funny ones Lots of talent in them there fellers. Love me some HomeFree 💜☀️✌️
As far as I'm concerned all of the Home Free guys "emote" through their music/videos better than just about anyone else out there--and in this one Rob showcases his gospel/R&B genius in a way that seems to surprise everyone ❣️❣️❣️
I just found you today and I've been binge watching you with Home free. I agree with everything you said about them! This old Vet would like to thank you for sporting the American flag. I have a TON of respect for you. I heard you invoke the name of Jesus. Its nice to hear a young guy in prayer. I'm proud of you. I'm a follower as of right now.
Ok, i am subbing to take this Home Free ride along with you. There whole catalog of songs is top notch but I agree with When A Man Loves a Woman, and also would like Butts Remix, One Man Band, The list is really long because all of their songs are wonderful. Love your reactions to my favorite group and i look forward to many more! Home fry for life!
Welcome to the family new Home Fry! Glad to have you! Home Free is absolutely Phenomenal! My favorite group ever! It's probably already been requested but would you add to the list please "WHEN A MAN LOVES A WOMAN" Thank you for reacting! New Sub for more Home Free! It's a beautiful and very deep rabbit hole. I can't get enough of them! Sending love from South Georgia!♥️😀🍟
Thank you for your genuine reaction!!! I get chills every time I hear them sing this song! Best cover of all time! Love these guys!! I have subscribed to your channel because of your reaction!!!🥰
You can’t go wrong with any cover/song by home free. You won’t be sorry you’ve gone down this rabbit hole. They do it all- here are a few more, How Great Thou Art, My Church, Go Rest High on That Mountain, Mayday, Love Train…and so on, and so on.
They won The Sing-Off in 2014 and one of the judges was Shawn Stockman of Boyz II Men. You should check out their performances from that show, and the judges' reactions to them.
Hey Greg, I LOVE your reaction vids - and I also love "Home Free", one of the BEST, most talented groups I've ever heard! 🥰They're a true shining jewel among the midst of so many sound-alike, same-ol' vocalists and groups - y'know what I mean? So keep it going, man - you're alright in my book! May God bless you! 😊
If you think Tim Foust (the bass) can hit low notes, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet! Check out Tim with Peter Hollens in the video “Misty Mountains”! It’s just them two singing, but they layered their voices over 100 times, so it sounds like a freakin’ huge choir! Tim does all the low voices, and Peter does most of the high voices! By the way, if nobody’s told you, Tim has a singing range of 5 OCTAVES!!! From high tenor to sub-woofer busting bass! (He actually has busted sub-woofer speakers while performing on stage!).
Magical! Thank you for backing up, love it! They found Austin on a cruise ship doing Shakespeare! They began in Minnesota, I am too! Rob and Adam from here too!
It was so fantastic to watch your true honest opinion to this. We could see you go speechless & your mind get knocked out of the ball park, lol. So good, so entertaing & I agreed with everything you said. Congrats upon find Homefree, once you hear them you will never lose the thrill.
You are officially a Home Fry!!! They can do no wrong with any song! They have a funny side as well. Try "When a Man Loves a Woman" for another serious one, and "The Butts Remix" for their comical side. But any song you pick will be a winner!! Welcome to the Home Free rabbit hole!!! ❤
If you want the FULL comical side.... add 'All About that Bass' to 'The Butts Remix'
The best!
Hillbilly bone will not disappoint!
L♥️VE on first note when it's Home Free!! ♥️💕💋
I wanna be a "Home Fry" 😊
Big man took the end personally he wasn't singing he was testifying
Greg there's only one way to describe Home Free...FLAWLESS💯💯💯💯
When they were on the NBC show the Sing Off (they won in 2013) Shawn Stockman of Boyz II Men was a judge and he loved them. I think they wanted to do right by him. Rob (lead here) killed it and they are all so good. Those harmonies are great.

What she said LOL
They didn’t use their cell phones for filming during quarantine. Their producer told them what equipment to buy and he put everything together.
These guys do an amazing job of this song! They can do any genre including R&B. Rob's voice has so much feeling & soul in it. Austin adding his higher tones, Chance harmonizing in the back, Tim adding some bass & Adam with his fabulous vocal percussion. These guys are my favorite a cappella group out there. All their songs are good whether it is serious, heart warming or funny. "Take Me Home Country Roads", "In The Blood", "Hillbilly Bone", "American Pie", "Blue Ain't Your Color", "One Man Band", "Helplessly Hoping", "Seven Bridges Road", "How Great Thou Art", "Elvira", "Butt's Remix", "Ring Of Fire", "When A Man Loves A Woman", "Sea Shanty Medley", "Meet In The Middle", "Honey I'm Good" etc.

How else can you explain picking Austin up on that cruise ship?
Do some research how they all met is amazing! Welcome Home Fry!

Love your reaction man! Home Free Can't Stop the Feeling is a must. It's a very upbeat, feel good song.
Great Reaction, Scottish Home fry here, welcome to the family, so much more to come. 👍🏴👍
Home Fry status is unlocked. They are simply the best. Pick any song and they will not disappoint.
Definitely the "Butts Remix"! Also, "Thinking Out Loud", an Ed Sheeran/Marvin Gaye mashup. You will NOT be disappointed! Welcome to the "Home Fry" club!!
Their Thinking Out Loud/Let's Get It On mashup is not to be missed. The couple on screen is Riley and Mckinzie Zamber, aka The Hound + The Fox.

Home Free always shows respect to the original artist when they do a cover. They never disappoint.
Remember, they’re doing it all with their mouths…no instruments! It’s so easy to forget they sound so good!

I'm really enjoying your reactions to the BEST acapella group you will ever hear Home Free. They sing all genre's and do it well.
Your were just listening to gospel "Rob" the big guy with beard and glasses.
Home Free is an American country a cappella group of five vocalists: Austin Brown, Rob Lundquist, Adam Rupp, Tim Foust, and Adam Chance. Starting as a show group, they toured with approximately 200 shows a year across the United States. The group won the fourth season of The Sing-Off on NBC in 2013.

Okay, time for a Home Free binge!
If you want to see them doing a song with the original artists, check out Elvira with the Oak Ridge Boys. It is pure gold.
And don't forget Lee Greenwood or Don McLean. God Bless the USA and American Pie are fantastic!
and with Kenny Rogers the "Gambler"
@@Stippeldot They joined him, at his invite, he'll tell you at the end, for the song Children, Go Where I Send Thee. Absolutely straight to the heart.

welcome to the rabbit hole of Home Free! they have sooooo many songs and never let ya down...When a Man Loves a Woman..My Church...Butts Remix...Hillbilly Bone to name a few
High praise indeed. You really are good at this reaction gig--a great entertainer in your own right!
Fantastic reaction, thank you. Great song. Welcome to the Home Fries.
I have never met anyone who does not become a Home Frie from the very first time they hear these guys no matter what song they sing. They are perfectionist on every song they do.
So good! Lots more to recommend, 'Blue Ain't Your Colour' Catch Me If You Can, and if you want to see their funny side, the Butts Medley 😊
You could smile and laugh out loud when you watch Home Free in All About That Bass.🎶
Love your reaction and love Home Free! I think without Instruments you can hear their voice control so much more. Granny
Beginning of the song is Rob singing. Better known as 'Gospel Rob', because honey he will take you to church!!
This song shows just how talented they are. They can sing any genre.
THEY ARE FANTASTIC!!! Welcome to the Home Fry club.
HF may be country, but they have heart and they bring the old school back to life. They are funny, family friendly good old boys who always bring it to everything they do. From the old doo wap songs to timeless classics. They make you laugh, cry, fall in love, and remember the man upstairs. Thank you for your great reaction!
Boyz II Men are so proud of these boys how they did this song they did this to perfection.. They kept true to their self and their style...God bless these boys...Shawn from Boyz II Men are good friends with them..🏡🆓🏡🍟
I love this group, too. So many of their songs give so many feels, but the one that stands out for me is Helplessly Hoping. The harmonies in that one are superb.
I have watched 20+ reactions to this song and only one realized that Adam Rupp is producing the clapping sound in real time. Not post production.
Home free has made this their song. No words.
You are now officially a Home Fry! They are so very awesome! Love your reaction!
Their skill level is beyond ridiculous. They are rhst damn good
Welcome to the Home Fries!!! They don't rush anything and if you want to find out about their history Chris Rupp (who founded the group) has a series on his channel called the History of Home Free. Since you're officially a Home Fry I just subscribed. Keep the reactions coming please. It's a fun rabbit hole to explore.
Thinking Out Loud/Let's Get It On is a fabulous Home Free mashup.
I love this group. I got to see them live in Cincinnati last weekend. They are amazing.
Welcome to the land of Home Free! You are officially a Home Fry!!!
Adam Rupp (beatboxer extraordinaire, regarded in some circles as the best beatboxer out there) and his brother, Chris Rupp, were among the original members of Home Free, formed in 2001. They call Minnesota home, along with melodic tenor Rob Lunquist, who joined the group in 2008. In 2010, Tim Foust, singer/songwriter and native Texan, toured with Home Free as a guest voice until 2012 when he became the full-time mind - and speaker - blowing bass. In 2012, Home Free signed on as guest performers on a Royal Caribbean cruise ship where they met southern Georgian Austin Brown who was a featured performer and expressed interest in Home Free. Austin joined Home Free in 2013 filling the upper ranges with his soaring melodic tenor. Also in 2013, Home Free auditioned with this line-up for The Sing Off, fourth season, and changed to a more country sound with which won the competition. In 2016, native Floridian, Adam Chance joined the group when Chris Rupp decided to strike out on his own. Usually called Chance, he sing bass, giving Tim's five octave range more options for harmony. Chance also fills the baritone and adds extra depth by adding another layer of beatboxing with Adam Rupp, who BTW, has a nice set of pipes himself. All five members of Home Free have backgrounds in musical training. The Rupp Brothers and Adam Lunquist all have BAs in music. Tim Foust and Austin Brown are active in songwriting and arranging for the group. They are an extraordinary group and seem to truly love what they are doing. And it shows in every arrangement, every chord, every note they share with those of us bless to hear them sing.
I haven't been able to find any reaction by you of Home Free's O Holy Night. You titled one of their other songs a "masterpiece of skill," but you're missing out if you haven't heard them perform O Holy Night. In my opinion, it's the most beautiful piece they've done yet. To me, O Holy Night shines with the group's fantastic ability to harmonize and to build the song to a nearly heart-stopping crescendo. It may not be the holidays, but this performance really can't be constrained by time.
Adam the beat boxer and his brother Chris formed the band and Chris left , and then another Adam chance joined the group. Plus Rob, Tim, and a Austin brown . They are the best I can't believe how great they are. We are very blessed to be able to listen to them.
Just subbed. Home Free are unlike anything you've heard before. The fact that they are A Capella just blows my mind every time. They're so versatile and perform so many different genres and do them all so well! They are my favorite group ever, a capella or not. I cant wait to see your reactions as you get into them more. Such a great, respectful teaction... thank you!! See you next time!
Home Free and Home Fry forever!
Boyz II Men would be proud! They are amazing 👏🏼!
I absolutely love homefree!!! My husband took me to a concert for our anniversary last year and I was floored. Tim's bass voice shook the rafters all the way to the back of the building. It was amazing ❤️❤️❤️
BRUH!!!!! HomeFree is a Class Act!!! Beautiful!! Chillz!!!!
I have loved Home Free for a long time
They are awesome try a listen to some of thier Gospel singing.
And all About That Bass
Meagan Trainor. Funny ones
Lots of talent in them there fellers.
Love me some HomeFree
💜☀️✌️
Unbelievable.. doesn't describe these men. I'm speechless
Rob is my favorite. He won me over on my reaction to this same song. Now I love em all the same.
As far as I'm concerned all of the Home Free guys "emote" through their music/videos better than just about anyone else out there--and in this one Rob showcases his gospel/R&B genius in a way that seems to surprise everyone ❣️❣️❣️
Hearing them in live concert is even better!
Miss the instruments? Me neither. Adam is phenomenal. They all are!
Great reaction! Home Fries show up like magic when you start reacting to Home Free.
I just found you today and I've been binge watching you with Home free. I agree with everything you said about them! This old Vet would like to thank you for sporting the American flag. I have a TON of respect for you. I heard you invoke the name of Jesus. Its nice to hear a young guy in prayer. I'm proud of you. I'm a follower as of right now.
Ok, i am subbing to take this Home Free ride along with you. There whole catalog of songs is top notch but I agree with When A Man Loves a Woman, and also would like Butts Remix, One Man Band, The list is really long because all of their songs are wonderful. Love your reactions to my favorite group and i look forward to many more! Home fry for life!
Great reaction! I loved it. 🍟♥️
Found each other. Though Rupp and his brother Chris started the group out of college. Chris is solo now, replaced by Adam Chance.
Rob (Teddybear), Austin (country Jesus), Tim (THE bass), "Adam" Rupp (beatboxer), and Adam "Chance" (Baritone for days)
@@DyvmSlorm "Baritone for days," and a beautiful bass when Tim steps forward.
I've heard this version so many times and Yet still LOVE IT.
God gave them a gift to share with the World....Practice. Practice. Practice!
I LOVE 💕 your reactions! You make an old lady smile!
Welcome to the family new Home Fry! Glad to have you! Home Free is absolutely Phenomenal! My favorite group ever! It's probably already been requested but would you add to the list please
"WHEN A MAN LOVES A WOMAN"
Thank you for reacting! New Sub for more Home Free! It's a beautiful and very deep rabbit hole. I can't get enough of them! Sending love from South Georgia!♥️😀🍟
Wasn't that fantastic?? 😍😍
Home Free can do anything!
Great reaction ❤️❤️
I love your reaction as much as the song. I am a Home Fry forever. They are ALL amazing 👏
You are a true man of music to appreciate this beautiful sound of Home free
Thank you for your genuine reaction!!! I get chills every time I hear them sing this song! Best cover of all time! Love these guys!! I have subscribed to your channel because of your reaction!!!🥰
Loved your reaction bro. Welcome to the fandom known as Home Fries!!! Many more videos to go my guy. Keep it up
You can’t go wrong with any cover/song by home free. You won’t be sorry you’ve gone down this rabbit hole. They do it all- here are a few more, How Great Thou Art, My Church, Go Rest High on That Mountain, Mayday, Love Train…and so on, and so on.
You got that right! Chills..and that stank face... their studio versions of songs are the bomb.
Fun when you see dedicated and live stuff as well.
They won The Sing-Off in 2014 and one of the judges was Shawn Stockman of Boyz II Men. You should check out their performances from that show, and the judges' reactions to them.
Even if it is not a reaction video these guys are worth listening to all their songs, especially their comedic side.
Hey Greg, I LOVE your reaction vids - and I also love "Home Free", one of the BEST, most talented groups I've ever heard! 🥰They're a true shining jewel among the midst of so many sound-alike, same-ol' vocalists and groups - y'know what I mean? So keep it going, man - you're alright in my book! May God bless you! 😊
Thank you to introducing these guys talent. My first time hearing them.
If you think Tim Foust (the bass) can hit low notes, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet! Check out Tim with Peter Hollens in the video “Misty Mountains”! It’s just them two singing, but they layered their voices over 100 times, so it sounds like a freakin’ huge choir! Tim does all the low voices, and Peter does most of the high voices! By the way, if nobody’s told you, Tim has a singing range of 5 OCTAVES!!! From high tenor to sub-woofer busting bass! (He actually has busted sub-woofer speakers while performing on stage!).
Magical! Thank you for backing up, love it! They found Austin on a cruise ship doing Shakespeare! They began in Minnesota, I am too! Rob and Adam from here too!
This is one of those songs that nobody should ever try to cover, but somehow these guys pulled it off.
Bluesy harmony…..even better….❤️🎼🎶🎶❤️
Blended, beautiful voices. The reaction is true and honest.
It was so fantastic to watch your true honest opinion to this. We could see you go speechless & your mind get knocked out of the ball park, lol. So good, so entertaing & I agreed with everything you said. Congrats upon find Homefree, once you hear them you will never lose the thrill.
THANK You for loving them as much as we do!!😉😉
