You would be surprised at their live versions of their songs. People say, there is no way they can do this live...then they do. These guys are phenomenal!!
They take a lot of pride in the fact that everything they do is with their voices...pure a Capella. Having seen them live I can attest that they can do absolutely amazing things with just their voices.
I wish people would stop claiming this. As much as I like Home Free, this one is not acapella. All you have to do is listen on a good system to realize there is a bass guitar.
Thank you for recognizing Rob so much. There are a lot of great singers. But in this video, Rob sang with pure passion. Reaching into the deepest parts of his soul and heart giving everything he had. He wasn't singing the song, He became the song.
I grew up near Philadelphia when Boyz II Men was hitting the big time in the early 90's, and I have been following Home Free since they won The Sing Off here in the states. Many people think of Home Free as a country group, but that's not what they were before being encouraged to audition for The Sing Off as a country group after a previous attempt to make the show as a more contemporary group failed. So seeing something like this doesn't surprise me because they are so much more than country. Even though Boyz II Men sang some acapella songs, this wasn't one of them, and I think it was actually smart for Home Free to do a song that wasn't originally an acapella song. Rob definitely showed a soulful side to this, and as a group, they absolutely nailed this!
You’d be surprised at what they can pull off live with just the 5 of them! One that blows my mind every time is Man of Constant Sorrow live. Chance starts off doing the jaw harp live and then they use a looper so he can sing his parts. There’s so much going on but they pull it off and it sounds incredible! Also, I don’t think there is music backing any of this song. It is obviously a studio version but I’m pretty certain it’s still all vocals.
@@twaited5860 I've been to six of their live shows and the looper is used on Castle on the Hill and maybe one other to show you how they can layer with it. Sounds like you had the chance to see them do that too. It was awesome. But they use their voices so well to fill in backgrounds. They are truly one of the great live performances because they are super fun and funny as well. It's worth every penny and more. We leave happy and in awe and smiling and laughing! Cannot wait until they're out on the road again!
Rob's voice was perfect for this song! Everyone has a stunning voice on their own! I love them!!! Keep them coming! Next, please do How Great Thou Art!!!
Their collaboration with Peter Hollens and 300+ patreons for "I still haven't found what I'm looking for" is not only great listening, but also a video editing masterpiece.
I was worried that I wouldn't find what I was looking for...but here it is. Add me to the chorus of people asking for this Peter Hollens/Home Free/patreons collab.
I remember reading an article about Rob where they interviewed his college vocal teacher. She said, that Rob was equally good at opera, jazz, and Broadway singing and that was so unusual to have that kind of versatility.
Can't join the premiere because we're in the midst of closing accounts for the year-end but congrats on the Silver Creator Award! You’ve earned every bit of the success you deserved. This is only the beginning of even more great things to come for you :)
Loved your reaction. Since you mentioned Tim I can't help suggesting that you react to "Misty Mountains" with Tim and Peter Hollens. It just fits so well with Tims voice and Peter is nailing it as well.
At the beginning of the reaction, when you said you hoped they'd add some rasps & growls to it, I couldn't help but think, "Oh boy, are you going to like the last part!" LOL! Rob's pretty amazing in this.
@@blitzofchaosgaming6737 No it's definitely her 3rd lol. I think her discord and the comments on her first home free kind of drilled there names into her head.
@@rocky11top So I guess you think she has never heard any song by any artist other than the ones she's reacted to? Let me let you in on something. Reactors listen to music on their own time.
@@blitzofchaosgaming6737 no I completely understand that, but from what I remember she had never heard of them before she reacted to them the first time.
Don't let everyone know about Chance in Mayday, let them find out naturally by listening and watching the song! You spoil the SURPRISE! I do agree Mayday should be Next though!😊
How did I miss this reaction?!? Julia, this is the best reaction I've seen to this performance! I still get goosebumps from Rob in this. I loved how excited you got with his runs and growls!
I'm do glad you decided to react to this, Rob really shines, he's amazing! I love to watch people that react as strongly as I did when I first heard them do this, looking forward to more! Stay safe and healthy and I hope you have a wonderful holiday season!
Julia, you should react to Home Free's "How Great Thou Art." The scenery for the video is awesome, and the arrangement and singing is at least the equal of "End of the Road" and arguably better.
Your breakdowns are just great, you hit on everything and explain it to the rest of us dummies, killer reaction. It's about time Rob gets some fangirling because he is unbelievably good. That made me happy.
Interesting that you mention Rob's accent, because he's from Minnesota, no where near the south. In fact, as far north as you can go and stay in the country.
I can’t stop watching these guys. Seriously ever song is just crazy good and so different as well. It’s fun to see your reaction to them! Gotta turn an ear to more Home Free.
I'm so glad I subscribed to you,besides being insanely beautiful ,I love your reactions and excitement about the music you listen to.......oh and that accent Holy Ship !!! and yes I said ship lol
I ABSOLUTELY LOOVVVE YOUR REACTIONS TO THIS SONG BUT ESPECIALLY TO ROB. I WAS BLOWN AWAY MYSELF BY ROB'S PERFORMANCE AND VOICE VERSATILITY....THANK YOU FOR YOUR REACTIONS.....LOL
Yet another example of the talent of this group. From end to end they are so solid and talented to pull off a wide range of musical styles is truly amazing. Glad your viewpoint is recognizing their talent and true musical abilities which often are overlooked.
Rob killed it in this video. IMO, they (all of Home Free) had to make EVERY part of this song as best as they could, because doing a Boyz II Men song and not making it great, would be a disrespect to them. (Boyz II Men) And as they ALWAYS do, Home Free gave the Cover the Respect that it DESERVED. (IMO that is) Great Reaction. After a few more Home Free songs, you'll be ready for the SHOCK of MAYDAY, I believe. Thank you, Julia. Great job.
JULIA !! So glad you've now become a "Home Fry", what we Home Free fans call ourselves. This is one that shows just how capable they are. In concert on several songs they do use a "looper", which it is their voices but it can help on that layering on some songs. Listen to their cover of Castle on the Hill, listen to the studio version but also listen to the live recording
Great!! Have you listened to Mayday -- oh wow, love, love it! And you might like My Church too. So many, many others to enjoy. Have heard them live six times now. You'd be surprised what they do on stage to fill in, they all take turns with extra mouth work and they also have done a couple with looping, so do some of the background hard parts to show us what they do, then Adam puts it all together as they sing over it. Awesome! They did that to Castle on the Hill as it has parts Austin and Rob couldn't sustain during the song as they also need to sing other parts. They do have live performance videos of it showing them setting up the looping then singing it. Chance has the lead in that one and his voice is so special, cuts through my soul.Thanks for the great reaction. Take care.
I really really enjoy your reaction videos. Not JUST because you are beautiful!! 😏 but because you show so much joy when you are listening to a song you like and your comments are awesome to listen to (must be that Aussie accent). Keep up the great work. It looks like you may have won some type of reward? If that is true, then congratulations you do great work and you deserve the recognition.
I'm seriously impressed with Rob. He got his turn to shine and took it farther than I could have guessed it would go. He can apparently do almost anything. Btw, Julia, I LOVE how much you love music and great singing. You are feeling it deeply. It's a beautiful thing!
You covered so much and it was great!!! Loved the analysis! They did a spectacular job on this song. I was hoping you'd mention the incredible 'harmony run' by all of them right after Tim's solo at 9:09 but there's so much going on it's easily missed. I think it's awesome! Rob, Austin, and Tim all have insane run capabilities. Thx so much for doing this one. Enjoyed it!!
I'm excited for this! Growing up, I was a huge Boys II Men fan! Definitely influenced my music tastes as a boy. I've listened to this performance and I'm looking forward to hearing your reaction! :)
this is one of my favorites from them! would love to see more home free! Mayday shows tim at a much higher range if you want to see the other side of Tim haha
Because they are both short, they are both all about harmonies, and they both have Adam singing instead of beat boxing, I think Julia should do "Helplessly Hoping" and "Auld Lang Syne" as a double reaction in that order.
Agreed. But what would be amazing if Julia reacted to is their rendition of Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas featuring Jewel in Sing Off finals... Pure A Capella, jazz vibes... The song is amazing and come on - it's Christmas time now!
Hi Julia! Great reaction! If you'd like to hear some of their originals I might suggest "Champagne Taste On A Beer Budget", "Snow Globe", or "Warmest Winter" since it's nearly Christmas. A couple of covers I'd recommend are "Leave This Town", and "All About That Bass". Every member has a song or two with the lead, except Adam Rupp unless you count his beatboxing and he has a couple of short lines in "How Great Thou Art" and I seem to remember one or more in "Helplessly Hoping" since it is all harmony with no beatboxing. They have songs with Tim in the lead with either his bass voice or one or more of his other 5+ octave voices, you just saw Rob's lead in this song and he takes most of the lead in "Blue Ain't Your Color". Austin takes lead in many songs as in the aforementioned "Warmest Winter", Chance leads in some other songs, but in most of the songs, everyone gets at least a line or two, depending on the structure of the song. They have over 100 songs on UA-cam and they have never failed to deliver and amaze in all that I have seen so far. I wonder how many women have gotten pregnant from one or another of their voices in various songs (not literally, just the mood that they are in after listening to the music)! LOL
Oh my.....I do wish I enjoyed my job as much as this lady enjoys her..... :-) not much chance of that I am a truck driver but I do enjoy my music at work !! Keep it up the great work Julia !!
Good evening Julia: Wow!! Outstanding reaction vid! I don't even know where to begin! first off, i learn a tremendous amount of very informative knowledge from u with every reaction vid that u produce!!!! As per usual. u are able to glean things from each performance that u react to that i...usually totally miss or am unaware of! U are a true wellspring of knowledge of all things that have to do with singing and music and the like!! Second,....i absolutely love your voice! ,for lack of a better description,...it sounds so lovely!! you have such wonderful speaking ability! your diction is what i would call "elite" lol!! as a matter of fact.....it adds a sort of sophisticated sexyness to u, if u don't mind me saying so (since i'm old enough to be your fathers older brother lol)!! Lastly but by no means least....i consider your a classic beauty!!! The kind of beauty that can stop traffic as far as i'm concerned!! To make things even better........you seem to be a very sweet charming full hearted and kind lady besides!! thank you so much Julia! Keep these outstanding reaction vids coming and....Take care and God Bless!!
I have just found you tonight and have really enjoyed your reactions to Homefree. I have gotten to see them live twice. I have watched a huge amount of their videos and am a true fan. I can’t wait to see you go through their huge catalogue of work. You will never be sorry you started down this rabbit hole. Have fun and I hope you take us along for the ride.
Just a little regional pride here...Austin is from Tifton Georgia. Which is 30 miles from my home town. Always nice to see someone from the same region make it.
You may have forgotten about Adam Chance's additional input. He's got incredible range and supports the others incredibly well! You might be ready to do "Mayday" now! Lot's of other surprises in that song for you!😊😁
You're absolutely correct! He does the 'bass line' throughout this (sounding EXACTLY like a bass guitar), and almost none of the reactors have pointed it out!!
Be sure to check out Home Free and Alabama's collaboration on "Christmas In Dixie". The harmonizing, fills and runs are amazing! Your heart will melt 😎.
You are one of the best reactors I've watched. Your application and comments of your musical knowledge serve to enhance the performances without detracting from them. Your reactions are natural and unforced. You show surprise and delight. You are honest and fun to watch. Take care there down under. Home Free is my favorite group.
My favorite of your Home Free reactions. You are genuinely into Robs voice on this one. Me as well. I've heard everyone of their songs. You have quite a catalog to explore with these guys. You will never be disappointed with any of their songs. Happy Holidays Julia.
Just wanted to add another comment to this one. This is perhaps my favorite reaction of all of the many I've seen -- I come back to it every few days and enjoy it all over again! Thanks again Julia.
They are so well rounded no matter what they sing. The magic is these guys know their voices and how to mesh them together so well. Wait till you hear "when a man loves a woman" cover. You will be blown away by Austin. He gives so much R&B soul in that one.
You would be surprised at their live versions of their songs. People say, there is no way they can do this live...then they do. These guys are phenomenal!!
They take a lot of pride in the fact that everything they do is with their voices...pure a Capella. Having seen them live I can attest that they can do absolutely amazing things with just their voices.
They do utilize a "looper", and in their live shows they illustrate how they use it, and why they use it. Pretty cool.
I wish people would stop claiming this. As much as I like Home Free, this one is not acapella. All you have to do is listen on a good system to realize there is a bass guitar.
Thank you for recognizing Rob so much. There are a lot of great singers. But in this video, Rob sang with pure passion. Reaching into the deepest parts of his soul and heart giving everything he had. He wasn't singing the song, He became the song.
In Soviet Russia, song becomes you.
I mean passion alone can’t produce that kind of singing. That is some God-given talent and hard work!
Ll,😊😊k9😊. 😊. 😊,ll
Home free mayday next
Or sold
@@turtlebeter8760 Yes! Not enough people react to Sold and it’s so good! Love the video for that one too!
Yup. Either Sold or Mayday are both great selections. But “I Can’t Outrun You” may be a better choice.
Not yet! She needs a few more under her belt 😁
Yes
I grew up near Philadelphia when Boyz II Men was hitting the big time in the early 90's, and I have been following Home Free since they won The Sing Off here in the states.

"Mayday" gives you another flavor of Tim
you won't believe this
And Chance
do it... DO it....
I came here to ask her to react to Mayday! Thanks for doing it for me and sticking it at the top of the comments! Lol
Shocked me!
You’d be surprised at what they can pull off live with just the 5 of them! One that blows my mind every time is Man of Constant Sorrow live.

Also, I don’t think there is music backing any of this song. It is obviously a studio version but I’m pretty certain it’s still all vocals.
I've seen them twice, and except for once when Adam laid down a drum rhythm with a loop machine, it's all them!
@@twaited5860 I've been to six of their live shows and the looper is used on Castle on the Hill and maybe one other to show you how they can layer with it.

Cannot wait until they're out on the road again!
ALL VOCALS and just as you said possibly using a Looper! Great response BTW
Yes they never use instruments. It’s ALL Adams Ruff’s doing he is the beatboxer
If you want vocals, Helplessly Hoping from home free is out of this world. Do you hear what I hear is over the top as well.
BOTH of those songs would top my list as well.
Helplessly Hoping is sonic ear candy, too right. Also two for vocals and creativity, Ring of Fire, and Folsom Prison Blues. These guys are tremendous.
@@brentfugett2700 I recommend going back through her VODs, she did BOTH versions (in one video) for Ring of Fire. It is a fun reaction :)
true but i'll take over the top this time of the year or anytime...🤣 go gal! Great analysis..
Rob's voice was perfect for this song! Everyone has a stunning voice on their own! I love them!!! Keep them coming! Next, please do How Great Thou Art!!!
Lol, did you say keen as a bean, lol, your so awesome, great reaction

Let the Collaboration be a Surprise to everyone when they hear it themselves!
Yes, I joined that cover :)
@@lizzb.676 Good job.
@@randallshuck2976 Thanks, it was such an honor :)
I remember reading an article about Rob where they interviewed his college vocal teacher. She said, that Rob was equally good at opera, jazz, and Broadway singing and that was so unusual to have that kind of versatility.
My brother-in-law was in vocal jazz with Rob at college (and my husband ran the sound board for the group). Rob was great back then too!
For more Rob, check out "Blue Ain't Your Color" for his second best solo with a little help from Chance who is one of my fav's.
Agreed!
Can't join the premiere because we're in the midst of closing accounts for the year-end but congrats on the Silver Creator Award! You’ve earned every bit of the success you deserved. This is only the beginning of even more great things to come for you :)

OMG yes, it would blow your mind Julia!!
Rob is my favorite vocalist in HF. He is so smooth yet dynamic, has a pretty good beard and a cool name. 😂👍🏻
Damn Girl, you are really going for this. I am loving it! I make sure to watch all the way to the end!!
Robb’s a Beast! Lol. Keep listening to these guys, they’re All great
At the beginning of the reaction, when you said you hoped they'd add some rasps & growls to it, I couldn't help but think, "Oh boy, are you going to like the last part!" LOL! Rob's pretty amazing in this.
I keep forgetting this is only you're third one you've heard. Just buckle in and be ready to hear some other absolute bangers.
There is no way its only her 3rd one. She is way too familiar with the names of the members.
@@blitzofchaosgaming6737 No it's definitely her 3rd lol. I think her discord and the comments on her first home free kind of drilled there names into her head.

Terrific reaction to a marvelous cover. More Home Free please!
You should check "Mayday" if you want to see Tim sing in tenor mode and Chance take the bass.
Don't let everyone know about Chance in Mayday, let them find out naturally by listening and watching the song! You spoil the SURPRISE!
I do agree Mayday should be Next though!😊
How did I miss this reaction?!? Julia, this is the best reaction I've seen to this performance! I still get goosebumps from Rob in this. I loved how excited you got with his runs and growls!
Your reactions are amazing! So far this run of reactions has not disappointed. More, we want and need MOOOORE!
I'm do glad you decided to react to this, Rob really shines, he's amazing! I love to watch people that react as strongly as I did when I first heard them do this, looking forward to more! Stay safe and healthy and I hope you have a wonderful holiday season!
Hey awesome reaction video..
Keep up the awesome videos
Much love from Fiji
Julia, you should react to Home Free's "How Great Thou Art." The scenery for the video is awesome, and the arrangement and singing is at least the equal of "End of the Road" and arguably better.
+1! How Great Thou Art is MY FAVORITE that they do. It’s a GAME CHANGER! So goooood!
Less Beatboxing though!
Always fun to hear what you have to say in these. I appreciate your educated analysis and enjoyment of so many types of music. More HOME FREE!
Rob is pretty gnarly lol, this was a great song to showcase more of him. Congrats on passing 100,000!
SOOOOO Love your reactions!!!! Please, Please, Please watch/listen to Home Free's version of "Mayday"!!!
This is 100% a capella. There are no keyboards. Yes, there is multitracking, but that is common with a cappella.
Yes, no instruments... I agree
No instruments, check Adam drum solo
Your breakdowns are just great, you hit on everything and explain it to the rest of us dummies, killer reaction. It's about time Rob gets some fangirling because he is unbelievably good. That made me happy.
I'm so glad to see Rob get some love! He's an absolute monster and tends to get overlooked.
I love when you can't sit still in your chair. It really shows your joy.
I’m never going to get any sleep tonight with all the excitement and anticipation for this. 😂✌🏻
I've been hyped over this one every single day since filming it. It took me the longest to edit too cause I was too busy vibing.
@@jvoxfox I think "Mayday" is their biggest surprise, also "Butts Remix" is fantastically funny. Either one would be great.
Interesting that you mention Rob's accent, because he's from Minnesota, no where near the south. In fact, as far north as you can go and stay in the country.
I can’t stop watching these guys. Seriously ever song is just crazy good and so different as well. It’s fun to see your reaction to them! Gotta turn an ear to more Home Free.
I'm so glad I subscribed to you,besides being insanely beautiful ,I love your reactions and excitement about the music you listen to.......oh and that accent Holy Ship !!! and yes I said ship lol
I ABSOLUTELY LOOVVVE YOUR REACTIONS TO THIS SONG BUT ESPECIALLY TO ROB. I WAS BLOWN AWAY MYSELF BY ROB'S PERFORMANCE AND VOICE VERSATILITY....THANK YOU FOR YOUR REACTIONS.....LOL
You have to react to their new song, Snow Globe. Tim Foust is shows most of his incredible range
They are known to use a looper on stage to add their own layering throughout certain songs.
Yet another example of the talent of this group. From end to end they are so solid and talented to pull off a wide range of musical styles is truly amazing. Glad your viewpoint is recognizing their talent and true musical abilities which often are overlooked.
Rob is amazing!
Another great reaction!
Rob killed it in this video. IMO, they (all of Home Free) had to make EVERY part of this song as best as they could, because doing a Boyz II Men song and not making it great, would be a disrespect to them. (Boyz II Men) And as they ALWAYS do, Home Free gave the Cover the Respect that it DESERVED. (IMO that is) Great Reaction. After a few more Home Free songs, you'll be ready for the SHOCK of MAYDAY, I believe. Thank you, Julia. Great job.
I love when you get so excited that you get giddy! It shows us so much more of you. Great reaction!
JULIA !! So glad you've now become a "Home Fry", what we Home Free fans call ourselves. This is one that shows just how capable they are. In concert on several songs they do use a "looper", which it is their voices but it can help on that layering on some songs. Listen to their cover of Castle on the Hill, listen to the studio version but also listen to the live recording
Rob is definitely the star of this piece!!! So nice to see him shine! Great reaction!🎵💖🎵
Might want to check out "All about the Bass" or "The Butts Remix" for some more fast paced, fun styles that you probably aren't expecting.
Home free is southern kryptonite. The baddest man will have a tear. Seen it happen over and over again.
Your reactions make me smile. Keep up with the Home Free, so much of their stuff to enjoy.
Great!! Have you listened to Mayday -- oh wow, love, love it! And you might like My Church too. So many, many others to enjoy. Have heard them live six times now. You'd be surprised what they do on stage to fill in, they all take turns with extra mouth work and they also have done a couple with looping, so do some of the background hard parts to show us what they do, then Adam puts it all together as they sing over it.

They do have live performance videos of it showing them setting up the looping then singing it. Chance has the lead in that one and his voice is so special, cuts through my soul.Thanks for the great reaction. Take care.
I really really enjoy your reaction videos. Not JUST because you are beautiful!! 😏 but because you show so much joy when you are listening to a song you like and your comments are awesome to listen to (must be that Aussie accent). Keep up the great work. It looks like you may have won some type of reward? If that is true, then congratulations you do great work and you deserve the recognition.
I'm seriously impressed with Rob. He got his turn to shine and took it farther than I could have guessed it would go. He can apparently do almost anything.
Btw, Julia, I LOVE how much you love music and great singing. You are feeling it deeply. It's a beautiful thing!
You covered so much and it was great!!! Loved the analysis! They did a spectacular job on this song. I was hoping you'd mention the incredible 'harmony run' by all of them right after Tim's solo at 9:09 but there's so much going on it's easily missed. I think it's awesome! Rob, Austin, and Tim all have insane run capabilities. Thx so much for doing this one. Enjoyed it!!
Your reaction is so full of information. Thank you so much.
I'm excited for this! Growing up, I was a huge Boys II Men fan! Definitely influenced my music tastes as a boy. I've listened to this performance and I'm looking forward to hearing your reaction! :)
Glad to see a tenor get some love! The videos I've seen you tend to love on the basses more. As a "baritenor" myself, this makes me happy.
this is one of my favorites from them! would love to see more home free! Mayday shows tim at a much higher range if you want to see the other side of Tim haha
More home free please
I highly recommend home free - Auld Lang Syne. It's short unfortunately but I think demonstrates their harmonies the best.
Because they are both short, they are both all about harmonies, and they both have Adam singing instead of beat boxing, I think Julia should do "Helplessly Hoping" and "Auld Lang Syne" as a double reaction in that order.
This!
Yes. That song is about unbeatable. Sadly short
Thanks again Julia. A great reaction and some really good ship.
Rob really got to shine in this one!
"Chewing on a cymbal as a child." LOL I freaking Love you!
I'm not saying you should react to this but you should check out The Butts Remix by them, just a fun song might make you laugh.
Agreed. But what would be amazing if Julia reacted to is their rendition of Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas featuring Jewel in Sing Off finals... Pure A Capella, jazz vibes... The song is amazing and come on - it's Christmas time now!
Julia, they aren't objectifying women in this song either. It's a mash up and it is technical and funny at the same time. ;-)
Your reaction was so cute! You were super excited like a fan would be, but at the same time giving really professional feedback.
Hi Julia! Great reaction! If you'd like to hear some of their originals I might suggest "Champagne Taste On A Beer Budget", "Snow Globe", or "Warmest Winter" since it's nearly Christmas.

Yes I totally agree with Mayday, it will knock your socks off!!
Austin and Rob are at their best when there able to just sing from their soul and let go!! It's insane.
Haven't seen Rob fronting this group much until now and HE KILLS IT!!
And so Do YOU dear lady.
It’s all vocal, obviously there’s more than 5 tracks and there’s effects in the backing vocals but those sounds are vocal
Oh my.....I do wish I enjoyed my job as much as this lady enjoys her..... :-) not much chance of that I am a truck driver but I do enjoy my music at work !! Keep it up the great work Julia !!
Lol, "Did he chew on a cymbal as a child?" might be the best description of Adam I've ever heard XD

Lastly but by no means least....i consider your a classic beauty!!! The kind of beauty that can stop traffic as far as i'm concerned!!
To make things even better........you seem to be a very sweet charming full hearted and kind lady besides!!
thank you so much Julia! Keep these outstanding reaction vids coming and....Take care and God Bless!!
Might I recommend “I Can’t Outrun You”. Amazing arrangement and Chance takes the lead.
Love you Julia and congrats on 100K, can't wait for you to hit your next big milestone!
we have said Rob has so much soul in his voice...now he just needs to do more soul ballads ...
Love your reactions.
I would like to recommend Home Free's Helplessly Hoping by Ran. Everyone gets a solo piece of that one.
I for sure second that
YES! Great Suggestion!😁😊😁
Great performance...but I'm smiling all the way through because of your reactions
These guys are such charmers! Also: very very good at doing what the do.
I have just found you tonight and have really enjoyed your reactions to Homefree. I have gotten to see them live twice. I have watched a huge amount of their videos and am a true fan. I can’t wait to see you go through their huge catalogue of work. You will never be sorry you started down this rabbit hole. Have fun and I hope you take us along for the ride.
Took us to church? Wait until you review "How Great Thou Art" .... Literally a spiritual experience!
Just a little regional pride here...Austin is from Tifton Georgia. Which is 30 miles from my home town. Always nice to see someone from the same region make it.
Great reaction. You really want to hear Rob’s range try Go Rest High On The Mountain and How Great Thou Art..
Julia! You are really rockin' the reactions lately! Right on!!!
You may have forgotten about Adam Chance's additional input. He's got incredible range and supports the others incredibly well!
You might be ready to do "Mayday" now! Lot's of other surprises in that song for you!😊😁
You're absolutely correct! He does the 'bass line' throughout this (sounding EXACTLY like a bass guitar), and almost none of the reactors have pointed it out!!
150k by 2021, I can just feel it in my bones. Such wonderful and informative content! Thank you for sharing!
And the "Country Roads" cover by Home Free highlights various genres in a typically country song - take a listen!
Very over the top ear 👂 gazim goosebump sensation. 👍👌👏
Be sure to check out Home Free and Alabama's collaboration on "Christmas In Dixie". The harmonizing, fills and runs are amazing! Your heart will melt 😎.
You are one of the best reactors I've watched. Your application and comments of your musical knowledge serve to enhance the performances without detracting from them. Your reactions are natural and unforced. You show surprise and delight. You are honest and fun to watch. Take care there down under. Home Free is my favorite group.
A lot of people miss it because of Tim’s presence, but the collective run that they did in the background at the end of Tim’s solo was incredible.
And I thought I was the only one who noticed how cool that was.👍🎶
My favorite of your Home Free reactions. You are genuinely into Robs voice on this one. Me as well. I've heard everyone of their songs. You have quite a catalog to explore with these guys. You will never be disappointed with any of their songs. Happy Holidays Julia.
Rob is great in their Ed Sheeran - Castle on the Hill cover. His voice is perfect for that song
Just wanted to add another comment to this one. This is perhaps my favorite reaction of all of the many I've seen -- I come back to it every few days and enjoy it all over again! Thanks again Julia.
You must do Mayday next!
I was keen as a bean to hear your thoughts on this one. It was exactly what I expected from you.
No backing instruments it's Chance
They are so well rounded no matter what they sing. The magic is these guys know their voices and how to mesh them together so well. Wait till you hear "when a man loves a woman" cover. You will be blown away by Austin. He gives so much R&B soul in that one.
