Hands down your break downs and analyses are the best on UA-cam. Your knowledge is unparalleled, and your observations are keen and always spot on. And to top it off, you’re authentic. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Thank you Jennifer for another amazing musical analysis. Austin is just so dang good ! I would *HIGHLY* recommend you listen to an original co-written by Austin, that is beautiful..."If I met you now" I think it too shows off Austin's wonderful voice & talent
Loved it. That last note is so grand. It’s such a beautiful song too. The subject matter is incredibly powerful. Loved Sebastien’s piano playing too…amazing. Good reaction Jennifer.😃
First time hearing him and wow, he's an amazing singer! Great range! He doesn't overdue it. Congrats on 40k subscribers! You deserve all the support. Great channel!
You're passion for musical theatre is showing. No need for facial expressions this time, because the hands did all of the talking. The "Home Alone" pose at the end was classic.
I love the facial expressions too so bring them on 😀👍👏 I like those swirls. Liking him you gotta review Mat & Savanna Shaw. They are from Utah, Dad & daughter duet. Check out: ua-cam.com/video/fP8sE6H7j2s/v-deo.html, ua-cam.com/video/aJ0dLlAskIY/v-deo.html & this song You Will Be Found ua-cam.com/video/LgMMzmwSIwU/v-deo.html
Thank you so much Jennifer! I appreciate your reaction! I love your explanations and you have an Amazing voice! I Love Austin's voice, it's so beautiful and I love the connection he has with the music and the listener. He feels the lyrics within himself so genuinely and pour's out his soul, then lay's it directly in front of us delivering it straight into our heart! He fills me with emotion every single time he preforms. I'm not sure if you know but Austin was born and raised in South Georgia and the little bit of twang is because of his natural southern accent. When he was in classical theater he worked really hard on losing his accent. However when he joined Home Free the management told him it would be fine to use his accent since they were predominantly a country group. So he fell back into it. Listen to his regular talking voice! He is very country and dial's it down pretty well when he need's to but because he talks with it all the time it probably requires much more work to lose and control it. I'm also from South Georgia and was born and raised just a few minutes from Austin's hometown (I still live in S.Ga ) so yeah, the twang is VERY heavy here. I love hearing him talk! Do you know what would be wonderful? An Austin and Jennifer collaboration! Austin has just dropped another release on Thursday I think it was. May I please request your reaction to it? It's entitled - " I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO LOVE YOU ANYMORE " Also please react to our favorite Basso Profundo Tim Foust! You just might be surprised with those two! I can't hardly wait to see your face when you hear them! " WILL YOU STILL LOVE ME TOMORROW/STAY " & " COME GO WITH ME " Have a great weekend!❤️🍟
Loved your reaction! Have you heard Austin sing Tears in Heaven and Danny Boy? He is a genius and such a lovely human being! Can't get enough of him! I keep listening to When a Man Loves a Woman (brilliant) and his perfection of Unchained Melody! Angels fly out of his mouth and heart!!! Sandy in Palm Springs
I hate Austin for singing Danny Boy. It's a song I never could stand. He made me like it against my will. Home Free has done this to me twice now. Damn it.
You just had to resolve the note at the end didn’t you ?? 😂👍 Funny, I hummed the same thing after hearing him ( the 1st time ) go up at the end. Couldn’t leave me hanging!! Lol I love your analysis and appreciation of great voices…
When I was young,I didn’t have the opportunity to learn music or take an instrument. Now that I’m retired,I’m taking full opportunity to do so. When I listen to vocal coaches,like yourself, you expand my enjoyment by pointing out what I otherwise would have missed. It makes the experience so much richer. For that I thank you. 🌹
As mentioned below... I see your passion Jennifer, it is "almost" equal to the passion that Austin is bringing here . Fantastic reaction and analysis for a fantastic performance. Thanks!
Love your reaction to this amazing song. Your facial expressions and emotion during the performance made this reaction very enjoyable. This song always touches my heart. You have a lovely voice! Would love to hear you sing this with Austin.
Such a beautiful song! I've never heard this before that I can remember. 101 Flintstone Ave. is the address of the rock I live under. Great reaction young lady! I tried to sing along and while you and Austin may have been on a C# I was not even in the alphabet but as the saying goes " Just because I can't sing doesn't mean I won't sing."
He was working in the music theatre on a Disney(?) cruise ship when Home Free came on as guest entertainers. He just clicked with them and when a member was retiring a few months later, they turned to Austin. Of course he said yes.
In fact the deciding factor in asking Austin to join them, according to Rob Lunquist, was his enthusiasm. They'd had a few crew changes and needed someone who really wanted to do it. In fact he turned out to be far more! When he joined HF, he'd had enough of cruise ships and was about to hit New York to get into theatre. I'm sure you agree that it would be a sad day if Austin left HF, but this and other pieces should be a calling card to a bigger future.
@@patriciamcl54 Well, he has is solos, like this one. And now he and Tim have Sweet & Low Music Co. So I don't thing he'll be having any plans on leaving anytime soon.
@@nightthornkvala94132 I'm sure you're right about that. I just remember him telling Lyle of Patrol Nation that "one day" he would go out on his own. He has a YT presence but that won 't pay the mortgage.! Touring with HF is a good source of income, if.nothing else.
I'm a new subscriber and loved you reaction to Austin singing this beautiful but sad song! Austin is theatrically trained and spent several years performing on cruise ships. I love going to his channel and listening to he and Sébastien. Also is fun behind the scenes at home videos. He's just so good !! Waves 👋 from Kansas USA
He is incredible as he always is! The way he sings words makes you lean in and wait for more! Love him so much. Love Home Free and Austin is such so darn talented how he can sing full-on country twang (which he has of course) and then the training it took for him to sing without it. His "wailing" in their songs, just all of it's wonderful. For another take on his great emotional singing watch Tears in Heaven. Wow! Take care.
Love your reactions to Home Free videos and to one of my favourite tenors in your last two reactions. So, new sub here in the hope of future delightful Home Free/ Austin reactions and reviews. Shout out and well done to Sebastien on a captivating turn at the piano. Thank you and Cheers!
Beautiful rendition of a beautiful song. Right up there with Tim Akkerman's and Devon Townsend's versions. Austin has a more polished, smoother voice than Tim, but it's the emotion Tim puts into his performance which seals the deal for me. Akkeman's version is in Dutch (I think), from Beste Zangers, but it is still as powerful as any I've yet heard. Tim's version (my favourite); ua-cam.com/video/Y6hoynZ5emk/v-deo.html Devon Townsend's version; ua-cam.com/video/yIxtHREiAl4/v-deo.html
Every time I watch this it cracks me up that they have a fireplace right there... And yet a yule tide log playing on the TV! (Iknow the baby grand blocks the full fireplace view, but still....)
Jennifer, I found your analysis enlightening and spot on. It is clear that Austin has taken the time to craft nearly every note into a performance unto itself. Each attack, sustain, and release have clearly been carefully considered and masterfully executed. For me, this results in a profoundly moving experience. Like many people, I like to sing along with Austin when I am listening alone in the privacy of my home. I do this despite having neither the vocal cords or the training to faithfully mimic him. The thing that causes me to stumble more than anything else, however, is the overwhelming emotions this song and performance inspire. It quite simply guts me. I have listened to several other performances of this song by other performers. I found them well done and enjoyable. None of them, however, strike me to the core like Austin's performance. Austin makes it clear, this is a man baring his soul to God in a desperate plea to save the life of another. It is amazing to me that Austin sings the same words and sings, more or less, the same notes as others, yet his performance is so very different. Austin comments after the performance that they had been working on this song a long time. IMO, it was time very well spent.
First three notes and I've got the chills. That last note leaves me breathless. And I love every line in between. I think this video if the first time I noticed how expressive his hands and gestures are. As you say, just wow!
Thank you! Loved your analysis. Austin emotes so much emotion through his voice that I couldn't listen to this in its entirety to begin with. It just moved me so much into my own emotions, Austin and Home Free has that quality, that it was unbearable. One reactor said he felt as if he actually was in the middle of the story, for the very reason. Austin does extensive breath work, outside of his normal voice practice, every morning, and he also meditates at least once, but often twice, a day. He works on the connection with his breath, voice as well as heart and soul with dedication daily. It shows, it's felt, and it's very much appreciated. Oh, and I saw someone mentioning interviewing Austin. If that's something you want to look into just reach out to him through his website and they'll fill you in on the possibility. He loves talking and he's super easy and fun to talk to. Thanks for the reaction! 🥰🙏
Really liked this analysis video and it was the first time I heard Austin Brown sing this song. If you want to see another side of Home Free please take a look at Never Gonna Give You Up ua-cam.com/video/v_nRCCD0j-k/v-deo.html and The Butts Remix ua-cam.com/video/IA0WCc3vTls/v-deo.html .
Austin did a wonderful heart wrenching cover on this! Home Free also did this just after they started, Chris Rupp was in the group then. There are 4 live versions. (the very first is best by only a little smidgen) These are more theatrical. Austin has his theatrics showing! Thanks for your comments!
Could you do a reaction to "Tick, tick, boom" starring your fellow limey Andrew Garfield? He's a late bloomer to musical theater but worked assiduously for a year to learn both piano & singing after accepting Lin-Manuel's invitation to play Jonathan Larson. I think he's a good, not a great, singer but as a performer he's accomplished & works hard at it.
You really need to watch everything that is on his UA-cam channel. He has originals and covers there. Really enjoyed watching your reaction to Austin and the song. I wanted to let you know that he did this with the group early on in 2014-2016 live in concerts. You will be able to see how much his voice has grown since then.
An amazing performance by Austin! He never disappoints. And your enthusiasm and awe of his performance shines through. Fantastic reaction Jen! You never disappoint either. Wonderful video! Can't wait for the next one. Hope you have an awesome weekend, lady!
I saw Les Misérables a few years back. I hate to say it, but my wife had to drag me there. I knew I was going to hate it. One of the best things I've ever seen. Just amazing.
Apart from Austin’s beautiful voice I love the way he uses his hands to express himself ,,,, and a real sexy look in his eyes ,, loved his performance 👏👏👏👏
Thank you for the reaction and breakdown, and congratulations on the 40k subs, Jenn. Home Free has done a great rendition of "Unchained Melody." This is not the 1960's Righteous Brothers rendition of the original, it is from the movie "Unchained." A convict in a medium-security prison is torn between his need to finish his sentence and get back to his wife and family, and his desire to escape the confines of prison. The video itself is very well done.
Austin's own version is gorgeous and well worth checking out. i prefer it to HF;s, which I found a little heavy-footed, with too much extraneous doo-wop.
I've listened to several singers singing this song and I love Austin's version the best. I think it has something to do with pace, pauses, etc. He seems to be taking his time and his reverence for the song shines through, not just hurrying through it waiting for the standing ovation. Also the casual setting with just the pianist and Austin dressed up a bit gives the performance a recital sort of feel. And his gestures give the song a prayerful tone. I feel he means what he's singing, every beautiful word.
I saw this reaction the day you did it(as well as watched the video when Austin released it). His video and your reaction never get old just like that final opt up always makes me well up inside. I'm an old theater kid and Les Mis is tied for first place in my book even though I never had the privilege of performing them. I guess I still could though I'm very out of practice. You keep doing you my dear. You are glorious
Hi Jen, I am one of your subs and one of your big fans. I think it is time you do "May Day " and also "Unforgettable Day" at Gakku by Dimash. May Day is a really good song and was written by a female artist who calls herself "CAM". She is an American artist, but I think she is mostly a writer, I may be wrong . I personally had never heard of her ? I have seen suggestions by some of the Home Free fans to do something like avoid listening to May Day until you hear their other songs ? I would like to try to not sound harsh, but personally I find that suggestion trite and very juvenile. There is truly no reason or rationale to suggest this unless you have a grade school mentally. I think the baritone in Home Fee sings the bass line and that is suppose to be some big deal or something. It is just dumb ? I have seen that suggestion on other reaction video channels and feel it is just really foolish and childish . I still have popcorn in my cabinet waiting for the Dimash ," Unforgettable Day" . When that comes up , (I am serious), I am going to pop the popcorn and watch. That is one I am trying to figure out how you will comment. It will be interesting for both of us. lol Thanks Jen we love you. With love from Florida. May Day ua-cam.com/video/znoV5gND9g0/v-deo.html
The last Lyric Line is (unlike the rest of the song) " BRING HIM UP* " ..... not home ! Calling upon the Lord to call Him Up - the Lad in this saga .... that being his rescue if needed. The Aria is from "Le Miz" and just a great melody and performance herein.
Let me just ask a dumb question. Why do I get chills from the reaction instead of the song? I know I have this wrong but it’s because something is getting in the way. I think it’s called passion. It’s coming through quite clearly ❤️🔥
If you have never heard Austin sing "At Last" in the same key as Etta James you are missing something. His voice is so pure and lovely. Give it a listen.
I've debated for weeks now as to writing this, because plain words are oft misinterpreted without the in-person ability to show emotion and intent. However, in our current world of anger, fear, confusion and anxiety, why not attempt a few words that could perhaps make someone smile and feel good? With that intro, I'd like to tell you how much I enjoy your videos, both reaction and performance. Of all the reactors on UA-cam, there's just something special about yours. I'm a 58-yr-old pastor from Alabama with 4 (that's right... FOUR) daughters, aged 31 down to 18. I love Jesus, the Bible and music. All that to hopefully remove the potential "sketchy" factor from what I'm about to tell you: I believe you to be an absolutely beautiful and talented young lady; your joyful spirit flows perfectly from your videos, showing us all your love for music, talent and performance. And your knowledge of vocal ability is second to none, providing your audience with both entertainment and instruction. I pray you receive this compliment with the heart of its intention... to simply put a smile on your face and say thanks for bringing a little joy into an ever-darkening world. May God bless you and your family, as well as your channel.
HONORED by this reaction. Thank you for sharing our music! Hope out paths cross down the line! :-D
AUSTIN 😱 thank you so much for stumbling across my channel and leaving a comment! I very much hope so too!!
Austin, we are honrored to hear you
@Dan B We hope something can be arranged next year when the plan is for HF to tour the UK.
Amaaaaaazing reaction of an Amaaaaaxin performance... Cumps from Portugal for both of you...
We need to make an Austin, Alfie, Colm trio happen on this song!
Yes, he has a degree in music theatre. Got his start singing with his father's Gospel group as a young boy.
Love it!
If you reach out to Austin he loves to interview with youtubers
💯❤
😱😱😱
@@JenniferGlatzhofer do you need me to help i have friends that have interview with him
I think you'll like his Unchained Melody cover. Home Free also did a cover of the song recently, but Austin has one on his own in his UA-cam channel.
Hands down your break downs and analyses are the best on UA-cam. Your knowledge is unparalleled, and your observations are keen and always spot on. And to top it off, you’re authentic. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Thanks so much 😁
Thank you Jennifer for another amazing musical analysis. Austin is just so dang good ! I would *HIGHLY* recommend you listen to an original co-written by Austin, that is beautiful..."If I met you now" I think it too shows off Austin's wonderful voice & talent
Thank you! I will!
@@JenniferGlatzhofer you will not regret it...it's so pretty !!!
Great reaction. Please check out Tim Foust's solo Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow / Stay. It showcases his full range.
Loved it. That last note is so grand. It’s such a beautiful song too. The subject matter is incredibly powerful. Loved Sebastien’s piano playing too…amazing. Good reaction Jennifer.😃
Thank you 😊
First time hearing him and wow, he's an amazing singer! Great range! He doesn't overdue it.
Congrats on 40k subscribers! You deserve all the support. Great channel!
Absolutely amazing and exactly, keeps us wanting more ahah! Thank you 😁
I....LOVE....musical theater nerds who share with the rest of us musically inept garden gnomes !!!
You're passion for musical theatre is showing. No need for facial expressions this time, because the hands did all of the talking. The "Home Alone" pose at the end was classic.
Hahaha so much excitement!!!
I love the facial expressions too so bring them on 😀👍👏 I like those swirls. Liking him you gotta review Mat & Savanna Shaw. They are from Utah, Dad & daughter duet.

Thank you so much Jennifer! I appreciate your reaction! I love your explanations and you have an Amazing voice!
I Love Austin's voice, it's so beautiful and I love the connection he has with the music and the listener. He feels the lyrics within himself so genuinely and pour's out his soul, then lay's it directly in front of us delivering it straight into our heart! He fills me with
emotion every single time he preforms. I'm not sure if you know but Austin was born and raised in South Georgia and the little bit of twang is because of his natural southern accent. When he was in classical theater he worked really hard on losing his accent. However when he joined Home Free the management told him it would be fine to use his accent since they were predominantly a country group. So he fell back into it. Listen to his regular talking voice! He is very country and dial's it down pretty well when he need's to but because he talks with it all the time it probably requires much more work to lose and control it. I'm also from South Georgia and was born and raised just a few minutes from Austin's hometown (I still live in S.Ga ) so yeah, the twang is VERY heavy here. I love hearing him talk!
Do you know what would be wonderful? An Austin and Jennifer collaboration!
Austin has just dropped another release on Thursday I think it was. May I please request your reaction to it? It's entitled -
" I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO LOVE YOU ANYMORE "
Also please react to our favorite
Basso Profundo Tim Foust! You just might be surprised with those two! I can't hardly wait to see your face when you hear them!
" WILL YOU STILL LOVE ME TOMORROW/STAY " &

Have a great weekend!❤️🍟
Thank you!! I can imagine it being very difficult to unlearn his natural way of speaking. Thanks for watching 😊

I noticed too on Jen's last reaction. Thought maybe it was on my end. Jennifer, this could possibly be a loose cable or bad connection.

Thank you!
Lovely reaction!!
Your reactions are mesmerizing. You are so involved your love of music shows. Your beauty also makes watching you exciting. Thank you.
I saw Les Misérables a few years back. I hate to say it, but my wife had to drag me there. I knew I was going to hate it. One of the best things I've ever seen. Just amazing.
Even if you don't do an analysis of it, you should watch the live version of this he does with Home Free.
Holy WOW. More than BEAUTIFUL.
Excellent reaction. Thank you so much. Just subscribed!
Thank you 😊
Apart from Austin’s beautiful voice I love the way he uses his hands to express himself ,,,, and a real sexy look in his eyes ,, loved his performance 👏👏👏👏
Jennifer I would love to hear you sing this song if you don’t mind!
One of the best voices I have ever head!
Thank you for the reaction and breakdown, and congratulations on the 40k subs, Jenn. Home Free has done a great rendition of "Unchained Melody." This is not the 1960's Righteous Brothers rendition of the original, it is from the movie "Unchained." A convict in a medium-security prison is torn between his need to finish his sentence and get back to his wife and family, and his desire to escape the confines of prison. The video itself is very well done.
Thank you 😊
Austin's own version is gorgeous and well worth checking out. i prefer it to HF;s, which I found a little heavy-footed, with too much extraneous doo-wop.
Have you listened to Home Free ( End of the Road) wow you will apricate it, I know. More of the other guys as well as Austin. Enjoy..
I've listened to several singers singing this song and I love Austin's version the best. I think it has something to do with pace, pauses, etc. He seems to be taking his time and his reverence for the song shines through, not just hurrying through it waiting for the standing ovation. Also the casual setting with just the pianist and Austin dressed up a bit gives the performance a recital sort of feel. And his gestures give the song a prayerful tone. I feel he means what he's singing, every beautiful word.
I saw this reaction the day you did it(as well as watched the video when Austin released it). His video and your reaction never get old just like that final opt up always makes me well up inside. I'm an old theater kid and Les Mis is tied for first place in my book even though I never had the privilege of performing them. I guess I still could though I'm very out of practice. You keep doing you my dear. You are glorious
Ah thank you!!
Lovely !
If you would like to react to an artist you might not have heard, I recommend the artist Aesthetic Perfection with their song Dead Zone
Just something else - this A. Brown form Tifton, Georgia ..... a remarkable High Tenor voice. GBjj
AUSTIN😥😥😥😥😥😥😥. You’ve made me weep. TY! Pray you will do more of this. PLEASE🙏
Hi Jen, I am one of your subs and one of your big fans. I think it is time you do "May Day " and also "Unforgettable Day" at Gakku by Dimash. May Day is a really good song and was written by a female artist who calls herself "CAM". She is an American artist, but I think she is mostly a writer, I may be wrong . I personally had never heard of her ? I have seen suggestions by some of the Home Free fans to do something like avoid listening to May Day until you hear their other songs ? I would like to try to not sound harsh, but personally I find that suggestion trite and very juvenile. There is truly no reason or rationale to suggest this unless you have a grade school mentally. I think the baritone in Home Fee sings the bass line and that is suppose to be some big deal or something. It is just dumb ? I have seen that suggestion on other reaction video channels and feel it is just really foolish and childish . I still have popcorn in my cabinet waiting for the Dimash ," Unforgettable Day" . When that comes up , (I am serious), I am going to pop the popcorn and watch. That is one I am trying to figure out how you will comment. It will be interesting for both of us. lol Thanks Jen we love you. With love from Florida. May Day ua-cam.com/video/znoV5gND9g0/v-deo.html
Please check out Terry Fater. He is a ventrilliaquist singer with wide range.
I believe Home Free plucked Austin off a cruise ship musical theater group.
Collabro
You should listen to Austin sing this at a Home Free show from 12 years ago. AMAZING!!!!!
The last Lyric Line is (unlike the rest of the song) " BRING HIM UP* " ..... not home ! Calling upon the Lord to call Him Up - the Lad in this saga .... that being his rescue if needed. The Aria is from "Le Miz" and just a great melody and performance herein.
Let me just ask a dumb question. Why do I get chills from the reaction instead of the song? I know I have this wrong but it’s because something is getting in the way. I think it’s called passion. It’s coming through quite clearly ❤️🔥
Ah thank you ahaha! Yes, absolutely in awe of his performance 😊
I love Austin Brown and Home Free!!!! And yet, people disparage country music performers. He was trained in musical theatre/ Thx for your reaction.
I had to sub you just because you enjoy Austin Brown. His music is fantastic. Thank you for being a fan.
How about reacting to Gigi de Lana's cover of maroon five's "this love"
How you have an great and awesome weekend Jennifer 😀
Thanks! And you!
If you have never heard Austin sing "At Last" in the same key as Etta James you are missing something. His voice is so pure and lovely. Give it a listen.
He’s magnificent.
Nothing to add really except that I cried through the whole thing, it was just so beautiful and touching. ❤️❤️❤️
Please prepare a video reacting to Rob and Austin singing opera.
Not many can do this song justice. Mad props to Austin. So nice to see an experienced singer react. Great commentary!
Ah thanks!
Beautiful cover and interesting analasys, but I missed the comparison with other singers using falsetto in some parts of the song.
You need to listen to David Phelps sing this song. Amazing!!!
I've debated for weeks now as to writing this, because plain words are oft misinterpreted without the in-person ability to show emotion and intent. However, in our current world of anger, fear, confusion and anxiety, why not attempt a few words that could perhaps make someone smile and feel good?
With that intro, I'd like to tell you how much I enjoy your videos, both reaction and performance. Of all the reactors on UA-cam, there's just something special about yours. I'm a 58-yr-old pastor from Alabama with 4 (that's right... FOUR) daughters, aged 31 down to 18. I love Jesus, the Bible and music.
All that to hopefully remove the potential "sketchy" factor from what I'm about to tell you: I believe you to be an absolutely beautiful and talented young lady; your joyful spirit flows perfectly from your videos, showing us all your love for music, talent and performance. And your knowledge of vocal ability is second to none, providing your audience with both entertainment and instruction.
I pray you receive this compliment with the heart of its intention... to simply put a smile on your face and say thanks for bringing a little joy into an ever-darkening world. May God bless you and your family, as well as your channel.
Thank you so much for this 🧡 was so lovely to read! Hope you and your family are well!
Jennifer what the heck, we need to hear you! You have a beautiful voice. 😊❤
Why is it bad for him to breathe during "God on high", and not "hear [breath] my prayer" or "let [breath] him rest"?
Wow. Just...wow.
Have you seen the video with Austin and Rob singing Nessun Dorma?
Better check out their Nessum Dorma with Austin and Bob
You have to listen to his rendition of Danny Boy. It is so amazing.
