Rob study opera in college, but hasn't sung it in 15 years and Austin has his musical theater background.
These men are insanely talented. For Rob it's been 15 years since he's sung opera....he was approached by Austin to do this and was a bit hesitant, but Austin wore him down
Rob has a good friend in Austin, someone who knows how good he is and pushes him to live up to it. And accompanies him beautifully. This is magnificent and so inspiring. Took real guts to record it, and they blew it out of the water. And they’re introducing some people to the beauty of opera.
For a 'rookie' opera performance together, they were great. I vote Rob for 'Rookie of the Year' and Austin for runner-up!
Absolutely gorgeous. Rob's voice is much richer and warmer in this song. Austin and Rob certainly compliment each other. This is definitely God given talent💗💗💗
I have been saying it for years now and this is proof that all of Home Free are Angels. WOW !!!!!!!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤❤❤❤😀😀😀😀
And we wonder why Home Free can jump from genre to genre so easily. They're all too talented.
This is Austin doing an amazing job singing opera, and an opera singer doing an amazing job looking like Rob! Just when I think these guys have shown us everything, they come out with a gem like this.
Ok I need Rob to sing more opera and classical songs. That’s crazy
Rob is actually a trained opera singer. Austin is trained in musical theatre. Rob just hasn't done it for 15 years.
Man sounds like he’s really lost it in 15 years… 😂 What a great voice
@@justinrisinger7506 Right?!!!😁😆♥️🍟🤯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Rob was concerned about it after so long. He didn't need to be concerned.
@@leftalone4264 That's what I love about Home Free. They have SUCH amazing talents individually but are not boastful. And whether they get together, their talents amplify each other. Awesome!
When I first heard this I just started crying, and after I don’t know how many times now, I still do. Austin is great in this. Rob is phenomenal!!🐝🤗❤️
It hits me the same!
@@debbieholoquist2059 🤗❤️
Word on UA-cam is that Rob Lundquist preformed opera some 15 years ago. This is such a beautiful rendition
Hello beautiful, how're you doing today.?
This was fantastic ! If Austin pushed Rob into doing this, good for you Austin. Great choice.
Hello beautiful, how're you doing today.?
They both did a great job, but I have to give this to Rob as his niche. That deep, full sound from Rob was INCREDIBLE!
And Rob's technique is impeccable as well. Really extraordinary performance.
My jaw hit the floor on this one. #Operarob and #OperaAustin slayed it.
This is so much fun just jumping from one reactor to another watching everyone's jaw drop.
I agree! The anticipation about kills me! That's why when I say I've seen some of their videos 100's of times, I'm not joking. And I never get tired of their music!
I agree!💯%!!! I'm having a blast!
I watched 7 reactors today on this song. 6 were in disbelief. Yes, others can do this song...
But I didn't get introduced to the others by Man Of Constant Sorrow.
@@chrismorin1318 I feel the same way! I can't get enough of them! ♥️
You too? That is a fun game!
Wasn't that freakin awesome??? 🤯
I can't listen to that enough! Bravissimo!! Is there no end to their talent?
Hello beautiful, how're you doing today.?
*I literally melted into a pool of goo when I heard our Home Free Boys sing this!!!* 😍😍😍
I am still speechless. I know they both have fantastic voices, but this knocks my socks off. Wonderful, great, phenomenal ... Maybe I will become an opera fan after all, Home Free has already brought me to country music 😁💥❣
I love Opera snippets, the arias, and key pieces. Love singing them, and hearing them. I've attended full operas and found them often dull because of the length and foreign languages. So I adored this and would love to hear Rob sing more of these, like I'd like to hear Austin sing more musical theater hits. Rob would sell albums of opera hits along with the current favs, he is great.
Home Free makes magic again ... BRAVO Rob and Austin !!!!
I loved your reaction! From the 1st notes when you went bug eyed and followed it up with the full on jaw drop, it was awesome. Thank you for appreciating the skill and talent it takes for this genre. ❤
Yup, I’ve heard this off and on all day for two days and STILL getting full-body chills. They’re both fabulous. Austin has that sweet, high, bright tenor, really nice, and Rob-I actually would rather hear him sing like this than any of the operatic tenors I’ve loved over the years. What a voice-I hope he does a lot more like this. I could listen all day long.
Great reaction, Brad!
I would say Rob really got that "chiaroscuro" quality, while Austin has that "air" quality. Together they complemented each other VERY well, Rob was 'on the earth' while Austin was 'in the sky'.
Lol LOVED your face 🤣 🥰 there's nothing they can't do
Hello beautiful, how're you doing today.?
Was really looking forward to your reaction, Brad. Wide-eyed look of disbelief! Respect that as a singer you appreciate the effort and talent required in this genre. Certainly have to applaud Rob and Austin for taking the leap to try something new. Hopefully the overwhelmingly positive response to this will encourage Rob, Austin...and perhaps the rest of the Home Free guys!!...to do even more. I'm not even a fan of opera but my enjoyment of this goes up with each listen.
Truly for Rob it wasn't something new, he is a trained Opera singer, although he hasn't done it in 15 years. Still equally impressive though.
Absolutely love this, yes Patrol Nation was so blown away he watched it 3 times and I could tell he knew every word of the song , just like I did. People that love a cappella love true talent, no surprise at all that this has been such a hit with so many. Beautiful, I want more ❤
Ahahahah yeah, 3 times he watched and was just speechless for the first two times 😆
@@PanduPoluan it was so good!
This didn't surprise me in the least. After hearing the beauty and power of their voices within the context of Home Free, I figured it was only a matter of time before one or both of them tackled opera. They crushed this. So, so beautiful and they should be so proud of themselves. Home Frees' versatility, talent and skills are truly next level. We Home Fries are so lucky to experience the wonderment that is Home Free. Great reaction.
Spectacular.
My jaw was dropped for 15 minutes and several listenings. Then I said several phrases that are not presentable in public....thanks again for a great reaction Brad!!!
Great Reaction! I have never been a fan of opera except maybe some Andrea Bocelli & a few others. But I have always appreciated the talent it takes to sing opera. I was pretty impressed with Rob & Austin's version of Nessun Dorma. I have heard this famous song done by Pavarotti. I think I was more surprised by Rob's range & powerful delivery than even Austin's. Pretty good for a couple of country boys! Nice to see them dressed up in suits & looking classy.
Rob is not someone else, it's just more of his talent showcased. They are both so talented.
When you look at a diamond, there are many facets that flash light.
Loved your reaction Brad!!! Yeah, I thought I was going to be rickrolled and then this happened! Holy cow! Tremendous. They both sounded so good. You’re not the only reactor to say Rob sounds like someone else. I heard he studied opera in college but man oh man. Wonderful voices. Great song. Great reaction!🥰😍
This is insane. Wow, wow and wow. This is extremely good. Fantastic. Both are doing great. But Rob, I'm perplexed. His voice is just magical, so rich, so warm. Chills just ran through my body. It flows into my heart. He will be able to stand with the greatest of opera singers. It's not often that I listen to songs by opera singers 5 times and more in a row. But here it is. Of course I hope that both will always continue to do Home Free, but I wouldn't think it wrong that such "trips" are made more often. Opera, country, ballads, soul etc. I think anything is possible..
Hello beautiful, how're you doing today.?
Phenomenal and Pure Perfection! They definitely stepped out of the box for this one. Someone needs to send a link to Ben Folds. I believe that they took his advice! ♥️😀🍟🔥
Rob was definitely channeling his inner Pavarotti. It was good to hear. Glad you liked it.
Now, I want an opera duet with Rob and Peter Barber!!!
YYYYYEEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!! Gonna need my meds for that. 😍😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
It's amazing how much talent is concentrated in Home Free! They are truly dangerously close to make the Earth collapse into an acapella Black Hole!!
To me this is Austin's way of highlighting Rob's talent.
It probably was. Austin often mentions how much he loves Rob's voice. I even remember him saying it was one of the main reasons he joined Home Free. The fact that he wanted the world to hear what he hears doesn't surprise me in the least.
I agree with you both. Austin knew Rob had the skill, but Rob is not the risk-taker that Austin is. I’m so glad Austin convinced Rob to do it. Many people will never hear Rob’s voice the same way again.
That sure tells us alot about Austins character !!! He loves his bandmate and has shown the world just how great his voice is !!!!
Just WOW 🤩
12th reaction I've watched, same stunned look of disbelief! Love it!!!
The jaw drop. I know it well from my first listen to this. Truly tremendous, indeed!
Hello beautiful, how're you doing today.?
Okay, what can't they sing genre wise???? Just WOW!!!!!!!! 🍧 icing with a cherry on top!!!!! Amazing doesn't even begin to define how I feel about these guys.................. Looking forward to seeing them in Salina, KS in December 2022!!!!!
Lots of sprinkles too! A whole bunch.
I will be there too, can't wait !!!!
When Rob and Austin take off their hat and look at each other, reminds me of Ring of Fire on the Sing-Off.
When Tim hit that LOW note to end the song That glance means they have no idea what is coming
Our men can sing ANYTHING!!! BRAVISSIMI!!
Now, they just have to work out a way to do this a capella on tour...
Hello beautiful, how're you doing today.?
Rob owns this with his full, rich low notes and the ease with which he reaches the famed high B in the "Big Vincero" as well his excellent enunciation of Italian were all note-worthy.
Just superb. I am sure Pavarotti is smiling down on them. God bless them.
The best comment I’ve ever read on this son was this was a great video of Austin doing a a great impersonation of an opera singer and an opera singer doing a great impersonation of Rob.
Your mouth was open so wide at the final “Vincero” that it looked like you were singing along. I had no idea Rob’s full voice is so magnificent, and Austin’s soaring high notes were sure and lovely. Rob was trained for opera in school, but he said it’s been 15 years since he sang it. I’ve read that they were nervous that their fans wouldn’t like this, and I hope they can see that we LOVE it.
Hello beautiful, how're you doing today.?
When I lived in London and had some money, I often went to the Royal Opera House and the English National Opera, and I reckon i can still tell a great singer (having heard some legendary figures). I've been convinced for some time that Austin has one of the best tenor voices in any genre. Now I have to accept that Rob also belongs in that category! What were the odds of a touring band of singers having two world class tenors?
And can we stop being surprised that two guys we associate with a different sound, now make a different sound, and instead marvel at the almost unheralded arrival of greatness?
Of course Nessun Dorma is a showstopper, Puccini deliberately wrote it to pack a tremendous emotional punch, as we wait with Prince Calaf for dawn to discover his fate. But it doesn't give up that emotional punch without a great voice to carry it and ride the waves of sound towards the end. It needs great control to follow long sentences through, and a voice capable of bringing home to us the poetry but also the Prince's courage and determination. Now we have two.
Thank you for this reaction and reminding us that performance at this level is hard and needs a willingness to put in the hours. This performance would have needed a lot of rehearsal, time spent mastering the Italian and working with Sebi on the backing tape. These are good men, it shines from their faces, but now we know that they are brave as well.
Great reaction and very impressed with your understanding of the discipline involved in singing opera.
Homefree did not specialize in country until the SingOff talked them into doing it for their competition. Tim and others have talked about it in interviews.
What a singer's musical training is can be very different from what they end up doing professionally. Case in point, Avi Kaplan is a formally opera trained basso profundo who sang pop acapella in Pentatonix and now sings his own compositions in folk rock. Maybe we should get Avi to do a bass aria out of Cosi fan Tutte (The Magic Flute) by Mozart next?😁
Rob is an opera trained tenor.
Austin is also formally classically trained but sings in more of a musical theater and pop classics direction. He developed his channel as did Tim Foust as their income sources during the pandemic quarantine with no touring for live shows.
Hello beautiful, how're you doing today.?
Austin sounds like a great singer trying his hand at opera--and doing very well. ROB sounds like an opera singer, period.
Hello beautiful, how're you doing today.?
I think we knew Austin could do it but Rob! wow what a surprise and amazing ❤️🏴
This was absolutely fantastic. I was in tears at the premier I was also waiting to get rickrolled with Rob going "gotcha that isn't really me" just because they like to keep us on our toes. I will never hear Rob sing a song the same again ❤❤
😂😂😂😂😂 waiting to get rickrolled😂😂😂 yup, that says it all. I think that is what a lot of people were expecting.
Just wow, this weeks hobby is watching reactors do this one! Amazing skills these guys have!
Amazing. I just wish they had extended it just a little with the music and walked back out with their hats on.
Both men are classically trained. Rob actually in opera and Austin in musical theater.
Brad from what I understand Rob was actually trained in Opera. They made me cry when I heard it on the premier. Truly enjoyed watching your reaction to this song.
Doesnt even seem real does it? Bravo Rob and Austin
They nailed it
Rob and Austin are amazing. We know what the guys can do... then to find out what they can DO! Beautiful!
Hello beautiful, how're you doing today.?
They are both classically trained. I was speechless when I heard it! Also check out Austin’s solo covers of Bring Him Home from Les Mis and Neon Moon. It proves he can pretty much everything. I would listen to any of them sing the phone book!
And we all know if they did SING the phonebook it would be an instant nr.1
@@mettesrensen6116 Definitely!💯% I'd buy a CD for sure!😆
It's really cool to put these two very different singing types together and hear how they mesh.
I'm wondering if this may be a start of a trend. Adam Lambert sang Nessun Dorma as a surprise to the audience at the Queen + Adam Lambert concert in Bologna Italy this summer and again at a fashion show last weekend and received a lot of praise. Definitely not an opera venue but birthplace to opera. First rock and now country! These men did a fantastic job too. I wonder if rap is going to be next? It's wonderful that there are some truly talented singers out there that don't require any studio "clean up" and across different music genres. We are lucky!
Hello beautiful, how're you doing today.?
Great reaction!! I've listened to this so many times that I've lost count, but it still gets me every time, & I think it always will. ❤️
Hello beautiful, how're you doing today.?
My Jaw dropped listening too them
I'm blown away by Rob, but then I heard he studied voice in college. I am not sure this is the right for this piece for Austin.
Agreed
Listen to the 3 tenors. Opera is not all Pavarotti. Austin sang his part perfectly. He is reminiscent of Andre Bocelli.
@@nanadeborah8717 sorry I disagree. His voice is too thin for that piece. It doesn't mean he wouldn't be good at other pieces.
@@louieleanos3554 then we agree to disagree. 🤗
Rob is a dramatic tenor. Austin is a lyric tenor. Others have said they could have expected this from Austin but were completely shocked by Rob. I on the other hand suspected Rob had a beautiful operatic voice suited to this song based on his training and little snippets I’ve heard of him goofing around. But Austin is the one who blew me away. I know he has an amazing voice and I’ve heard him sing Bring Him Home but I thought he did a stunning job here. His voice is bright and forward and while I agree this song is probably more suited to Rob’s voice, I thought Austin held his own.
I actually thought we were being punked. The camera would turn around and reveal a Pavarotti-type belting out this song, as Rob and Austin laugh, "Gotcha!". We all knew the guys could sing, but listen to Rob in "Hearlessly Hoping" and "Man of Constant Sorrow" - His tone is completely different! Rob, you've been hiding your light under a bushel. I feel you've pulled a Clark Kent/Superman reveal, here.
Listen to Rob very carefully in Sea Shanty Medley and you can hear little bits of Opera Rob sneaking through in his leads. It’s even more pronounced when he sings them live.
Be still my heart! This was so very awesome! Rob studied Opera 15 years ago. Love your reaction!
Hello beautiful, how're you doing today.?
If you close your eyes it is hard to really recognize Rob, but Austin really stands out just as he usually is and awesome but here even better. Rob does sound different then usual.
I thought you were going to stay frozen for the whole video. They are so talented. Great reaction. It seems to me that they can basically sing anything they decide to.
Fantastic 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️
I don’t think I have ever seen you so stunned.
Phenomenal...and they do it so effortlessly! We must have more of this!!
Ive been watching all the reactors do this one and they all have the same reaction...
Great reaction, Brad! Your face mirrored mine when I saw this the first time. LOL Still a fan of Brad Steele.
Rob was trained in Opera singing. I just watched a reaction from a Opera singer who stated this.
Magnificent singing!
FABULOUS THAT WAS GREAT
a masterpiece by rob and austin
Rob was channeling his inner Pavarotti for sure, Austin did a great job too.
Fantastic 💯❤️❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful!
No genre is off limits!
This took me by a very big surprise but very impressed on how well they did on one of the most hardest songs for even opera singers to sing and do it well they blew it out of the water by the way have you ever reacted to Tom MacDonald songs or raps
Awesomeness!!!💗💗
I feel like Rob is carrying Austin in this video. His opera training gives him a definite edge.
What utter nonsense. A lyric tenor of Austin's quality could walk into any opera house in the world and be employed. Those big Italianate voices are so limited in scope that they are much less in demand.
Brad, this performance is beyond impressive. It is a profoundly astonishing achievement. It wasn’t until this jaw dropping performance that I learned Rob is classically trained in opera. I applaud Austin, whom is not classically trained in opera, to even attempt to sing in this genre. From an operatic perspective, Austin is considered to be a cross over vocalist. He fulfilled that role brilliantly.
I’m not particularly fond of opera, but I would like for Austin to receive some training and then hear he and Rob perform again.
Actually Austin was classically trained from adolescence through college, where he had among other things to prepare and perform operatic arias. It would be interesting to know what sort of training you think this exceptional lyric tenor needs.
Great reaction!
Wow!
"So, Home Free, what genre of music do you all sing?"
Home Free: "Yes"
Brilliant
Your face mirrored the way I felt when I first saw this. Amazing!
Thank you ^_^
Rob ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜❤️
Hello beautiful, how're you doing today.?
AMAZING! 👏👏👏👏🤷♀️✌️❤️🔥🔥🔥🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶😎
Hello beautiful, how're you doing today.?
i read online somewhere that rob had 4 years of opera training.
Thanks Brad! 🖤🍟
wowzie!!
Hello beautiful, how're you doing today.?
Amazing
I've heard people trying to say that Rob reminds them of Pavarotti, but I guess I am a bit more "old school". I think he actually sounds more like Placido Domingo. I don't think you can compare Austin to anyone. He just stands alone as an awesome powerhouse of talent. They both blow me away with my talent. I've heard that Rob was actually nervous before recording this because it has been about 15 years or so since he has sung any opera. Wow!
Hello beautiful, how're you doing today.?
@@jacksonlevon2406 I'm doing OK. How about you?
@@joyvanderveer2282 oh I'm doing great today ty, and your day is blessed. Where are you from.?!

I love this version. Bravo!!
Hello beautiful, how're you doing today.?
Hahahahahahaha………I love the Face !
Austin's timbre is natural, and BEAUTIFUL! But, dang it all!!! Gospel Rob is now Opera Rob!!! GOSPERA ROB??? 🤔🤗
Hello beautiful, how're you doing today.?
Pavarotti will always be the greatest Nessun Dorma performer for me, but close you eyes during Rob’s parts & honestly, you could be forgiven for thinking the man was back with us! Very impressed!
