5th Performance - Home Free - "Colder Weather" By Zac Brown Band - Sing Off 4

Well they really slowed things down in this performance which is a welcome change. Some people may find it boring but they're focusing on showcasing their vocal ability this time around. They certainly sounded like a good country band that's for sure..something tells me we'll have another male group winning the competition. B+

[@Fordgurl101]

The "Oh my God" by Tim at the barber shop just cracked me up.

[@soniclover944]

THANK YOU-That was absolutely hilarious

[@Finderup16]

It was hilarious. I love their sense of humour.

[@jblosser87]

Robs very first note was just a hair off but he immediately corrected it and brought it back. But I agree with the second judge- it sounded like nervousness because it was not only his first solo but because they were so close to the finale. If you listen to a live performance of this song now, Rob KILLS it. It's amazing!

[@user-yb7tx5iy2h]

Is it the one where Austin forgets the words? 😂 Naw, just kidding.

[@roguegrey8881]

When he said "Gosh darn it he's pretty" I fell into giggle so bad my little brother came into my room worried for my sanity.

[@roguegrey8881]

True but it was still very amusing

[@eleahanz1334]

Agreed :)

[@markkmiecik9797]

He's a negligee.

[@nateeller2748]

I have listened to this over 100 times, with earphones, volume turned up etc etc....I can't hear on word where his pitch changed. i think the judges were so complimentary thru out this competition of them that they had to appear as though they weren't playing favorites. Great job Rob! it was perfect!

[@CanadaB1024]

His voice was shaking during the first two lines. Just nerves. But then he calmed into it. Nothing bad, just his first time singing lead on the show.

[@kathyhall6434]

They were pitch perfect every time I listened to this.

[@mrs.allczech9185]

It was the "take her with him", but to me Rob has the clearest voice from the whole group, since this performance I haven't heard him being out of the pitch

[@XxArsenykxX]

@@CanadaB1024 I don't have great pitch, but I hear it when he hits the elongation on the O in Colorado and on the word Door. And I remember feeling he was nervous the first time I listened. But when he hits the high note on Wonder, dude knew he had it.

[@susanhansen1290]

More please....

[@kanzee5940]

1:41 ROB sang that song, brilliantly...."period"

[@carolynsinnerthoughts5275]

wonderful!!!

[@virginia7191]

Absolutely agree! I stumbled on these guys doing "Man of Constant Sorrow". They were all good but it was Rob's voice that made me go looking for more. Now I am a die-hard fan!

[@peggygdmn]

I never hear Rob's bad note. I saw a live concert and he was mostly lead tenor, and he did a wonderful job. Of course, Austin's voice is beautiful, too.

[@Yourbeautiful666]

Rob is such a great singer. Best Tenor ever.

[@nickchittum7548]

Home Free was the most reformed group out of the main three that went on this show, Pentatonix, Voice Play, and them. They had the most full sound and most refined sound, but eventually all of these groups came to have this. I still think that Home Free has some of the best live performances now, without post production in the studio used by these groups.

[@sarahkinsey5434]

All those cruise ships and county fairs tightened them up

[@kathyhall6434]

Perfect job Rob....and guys.

[@megangrazman3227]

Ok, so this is about the hundreth time I've watched this and I STILL got chills up my arms....

[@TheJohnbeach1234]

Ml

[@Malkavius2]

This is a flawless performance from Home Free! I love their harmony

[@anneelizabethrobinson8450]

I have never been a fan of country music but this band is absolutely moving. I enjoy them immensely. They are so genuine.

[@destinykrueger6634]

Tim: OH MY GOD! Rob: I'd never cut this guys, come on....

[@kristinquinby3146]

Most times in vocal competitions I feel like there is a country singer/country singing group in the finals usually because they're the only type of country person that the southern states can vote for.... This is the first time that I actually believe that you guys deserve to be here as a country group in a long time.

[@jonathonkrueck4028]

This is the song that won me over with this group. I look forward to each music they release.

[@destinykrueger6634]

Tim: So we are rehearsing out song and Nick comes by... DANG HES PRETTY! 😂😂😂

[@CaptEoNinja83]

Rob, don't scare the guys like that! LOL Seriously, one of the things I love most about Home Free is that there's no ONE main singer. It alternates between Austin, Tim, Rob, and lately Chance. And I'm totally fine with this. Love them all!

[@MissIcyThea]

Wow I was mesmerised by this performance. I love the whole arrangement and just wow. This is amazing. I love home free

[@jdkey76]

I swear I love this group. This performance was amazing.

[@dancingpixie74sb]

My 12 month old just loves you guys!! She dances to your songs it's so cute how she lights up! Ty!!!

[@datona1]

Seriously guys. This song brings a shiver to my spine! I can't get enough of your songs!

[@sheilabrands6637]

Melted me! So refreshing to hear Rob lead. Love his voice.... and the combination of voices is breathtaking!

[@jarrodmurdoch8866]

I love this better than the original version. I hope these guys make a studio version of this song too.

[@WHSuperman2005]

Check out now that Adam Chance is the baritone. It’s amazing.

[@csutton161]

I think the same!!

[@lordkryptic]

i went and listened to Zac Browns original version and these guys blow that one away

[@jackdundon2261]

Yeah, agreed Zac brown is pretty good, but, they guys are better, even without a band behind them.

[@angelamason9840]

Colder weather memory lapse is what i will always think of when hearing this song! 😹😹😹

[@Southamericangirl42]

"Gosh darn it, he's pretty", said the pretty man.

[@nathuggett6719]

Southamericangirl42 "said the pretty man". WHY IS IT ALWAYS THE BASS THAT'S THE PRETTIEST!?!!??!?! first Avi, now Tim. Goddammit

[@sophiaanguish3203]

Nataleigha Huggett yeeeesss Tim and Avi ❤️😍

[@Hannahbelleectere]

to be fair Austin's awful pretty too.

[@nathuggett6719]

Yeah, he is

[@euniceoulton5056]

Ok

[@rhondaboncutter5812]

Love Home Free! Saw them in concert in Cincinnati! They were fantastic!

[@susiesmith7694]

I’ll always crush on Rob 🥰

[@Immerghensi]

"Is rob getting this done too?!?!" "Oh my god..." (Sigh of relief)

[@JaimeDornanLady]

Immerghensi He’s gotten really shaggy in his latest videos (COVID quarantine side effects?). Needs to seriously shave it/at least get a major trim!

[@lynngiesbrecht910]

@@JaimeDornanLady I said this a few weeks ago on one of their newest songs, can’t remember which one now - “Flowers on the Wall”, “Meet in the Middle” maybe, which is my absolute favourite, for personal reasons and cuz how many cowboys exit a country music video on a skateboard?!?

[@MogSauce]

Honestly, this season is theirs to lose. They are so talented. I don't even like country but they are simply too good to pass up.

[@Proudnerd2013]

This was my favorite I think. It sounded even better at their concert in Proctors.

[@rhondaboncutter5812]

Saw Home Free in Cincinnati, best concert in such a long time!

[@williamwolfert403]

My favorite song they did

[@NipZippler]

This is easily my favorite performance by these guys.

[@scottmcclure8933]

That is my favorite song I have heard so far they have done...That was beyond incredible

[@jessicaswavely8841]

This always gives me chills. So beautiful

[@JeffreySeracarpio]

First there was the Latino energy NOTA, then the sweet and smooth COMMITTED, then the techno-pop PENTATONIX, and now there's the country flavored HOME FREE? ^_^

[@suzannebenz8928]

Great singers. Love HOME FREE.

[@csutton161]

BEAUTIFUL....that all I can say about this song.

[@RaelsieG]

Wow guys I really loved you doing this one. Never heard it until I watched this, and wish you would record it soon. It was truly beautiful and it touched me.

[@KaregoAt]

Well yeah, I guess Rob was off key at some point but I didn't even notice and it didn't bother me at all? I guess they're just that good that even their mistakes sound beautiful.

[@trentauno6230]

The change in pitch is so minor, subtle. You can hear it when Rob sings the first line. The "She trade Colorado if" is in pitch but then on "she takes her with him" he goes half a note up, then goes back to original key. I dont know the lyrics so my bad if i said something wrong, but i hope if this helped

[@JeffreySeracarpio]

If Home Free wins this season, Kirstie would still be the only female that have won the competition. ^_^

[@rhondaboncutter5812]

One of my favorite Zac Brown songs! Such a wonderful job!

[@nevrothwen]

This was beautiful.

[@markwahlstrom2719]

Chills! These guys are amazing! Rob...a Minnesota guy...You nailed it! Mark and Heather

[@S0CD0C]

Best single performance on the show ever

[@giovannangiralulk6795]

2013!!!!!!!! where was I!!!!!!!!! you guys are amazing! you derserve that title!!!!!!! @homefree

[@emtd2281]

I love this performance ❤️❤️❤️

[@kingjamesspeaks]

I find it interesting that none of the judges mentioned Tim's range on this song. True, he didn't hit the super low notes, but he was up there with the rest of them. That's awesome to me.

[@jessicachase2466]

The guys have mentioned in past interviews that not all of the judges comments made it on the air. So maybe one of them did, we just didn't see it.

[@ThePi314Man]

True, but even though F#1 to Eb4 is quite a bit of range, which is what he displayed on the show, that's only around half of his range.

[@sarkam2125]

Thanks for this - I was surprised too not hearing any comment on this - Tim´s voice is so beautiful in the high part.

[@Missfaerielibrarian]

Beautiful! You can feel it. It's amazing!

[@sissytutticat]

LOVE this group....hope they win!!!

[@MsRegineAnneE]

what does Nick Lachey know about "colder weather"? he's from 98 degrees!

[@antislutful]

MsRegineAnne Ahahaha.. I know right! The funny thing is, I have a strong feeling that these guys do not need additional coaching anymore... they just pretend to listen to the "coaches"

[@ljb5163]

+MsRegineAnne We need more comments like this.

[@joelanthony3585]

Killed that song.

[@drizzlestarstone]

Dang, Rob is so underrated

[@JaimeDornanLady]

Rebecca Chan He is! He has a beautiful voice, & does quite well. He doesn’t sing solo all that often, based on what I’ve seen in their videos. I wonder if that’s part of the reason Chris Rupp went on his own? I’ve yet to see/hear him sing anything solo. It had to be hard on them to always hear stuff about Tim, Austin, & Adam, but not Chris or Rob!

[@mrs.schmenkman]

Rob has done a lot lately. I call him the Velvet Beard

[@Aprlmoore]

@@JaimeDornanLady You should check out their more recent concert videos or their more recent videos in general. Definitely not the case now.

[@JaimeDornanLady]

@@Aprlmoore I noticed that both Rob & Chance are singing more solo parts now. They both are doing fantastic jobs, & I wouldn’t expect any less from Home Free! Adds to their variety, & I love watching the whole group!

[@jeanna8338]

Could not agree more!

[@koolkat104]

...yeah, they're winning.

[@turtleroze]

they sang this so well it gave me chills

[@turntwo6287]

I almost stood up and clapped at the end!

[@CGholl]

The one and only time in the show these guys got any kind of negative feedback..and the judges were reaching to find it

[@donnadailey1153]

The judges did have to reach to find a negative comment, but I thought it was a beautiful rendition of this song. I definitely didn't hear what the judges heard!!

[@CGholl]

I caught a slight vibrato from Rob, which he rarely has, and I wouldn't consider that a pitch problem.

[@tinu96]

Donna Dailey I thought one or two of Austin's high notes were a bit flat :/

[@tinu96]

S Graves Yeah completely true, I was just pointing out that I did hear a couple of notes that were slightly slightly off 100% perfect, but yeah they are already awesome so it's kinda just being overly picky on the judges' part!

[@soniclover944]

+Suz G, the difference is that what Austin does in "I want crazy" is something that all country singers do, along with various other styles of music. Also, in the beginning of colder weather, well trained ears can hear rob be slightly sharp, about a quarter of a semitone.

[@kropfmanfred1387]

absolut the best i ever see

[@GameBoy-ks9dy]

When Tim said "Oh my god!" Dammit! I lost it.

[@sn0b0ard3r21]

I love the scene with them drinking beers. straight country "me time"

[@marinethibault8486]

that's so FREAKING cool!

[@joibenjamin2223]

This is beautiful!

[@tiger.kitten.9136]

i still watch this and get emotional.

[@wesslan74a]

chris i hope you know your the backbone in the band. you have the hardest part, no love for you but remember your voice is the cornerstone the rest can lean on.

[@hutchmusician]

Well this comment hasn’t aged well... Seriously though he is great, check out his solo stuff. :)

[@WHSuperman2005]

hutchmusician I like chance better, but Chris is great.

[@monaquick2421]

I agree, they are definitely stars!!

[@dhirayudha]

Beautifully done

[@averagejohn1232004]

Nice and simple performance. Rob has a great voice. Home Free has a great cover of Wake Me Up on their KZbin channel where they mentioned about working on an album (recording contact for the winner of the Sing-Off?).

[@HamstersInBlenders]

They recorded that a few weeks before the Sing-Off even started haha. I'm hoping they'll win though, if they can make a cover that great without any professional help, imagine if they had a contract

[@Crazy_Diamond_75]

Michael Wright Actually they recorded it a few weeks after the Sing-Off ended XD. The show is recorded a couple months prior to its airing.

[@invista4134]

Love these guys....

[@sneakersnaker543]

"Gosh darn he's pretty" hahahahahahahaha XD

[@wendythomas1037]

Brilliant!

[@evan4106]

Amazing

[@kermitb1109]

They are the best ❤❤🤗🤗

[@ljb5163]

I'm trying to catch the pitch problems they're talking about but I can't.. When did it happen?

[@turntwo6287]

+LJ B Right at the beginning (about 1:44) when Rob started off he was slightly sharp on "take" of "she'd trade colorado if he'd take her with him", but he quickly worked it out and took it home.

[@truscorpio13]

+TurnTwo I thought that's just how the song sounded. It was still good

[@JoelArmstrongsMusic]

Your right it was off just a little sharp. Most people that's not working with music all the time would mostly likely miss it because he did work it back in without much trouble. Still was crazy good.

[@natehochuli6457]

I would not have noticed if u didn’t point it out, good catch though

[@GoldAndDangerous]

Besides a bit nervousness in his voice the first couple of seconds, I only noticed that he sang faster than he should at the chorus. Other than that they all did great.

[@marveludus]

Colder weather? No way! They're as hot as ever :p

[@mrbarthol]

I still can't hear where Rob was off key for a moment at the beginning.

[@mrbarthol]

S Graves It must be, but after relistening to it in 720p HD, I'm still having difficulty hearing it...maybe I just don't have that good of an ear or maybe Rob's voice is drowning out the harmonies just enough that I can't pick it out.

[@mrbarthol]

S Graves I agree, especially your comments about Shawn. Austin is a very talented singer and I thought that, too, about Shawn's comment. The only member that didn't receive any kind of individual love was Chris, probably since he sang harmony the entire time. I really like his voice, but it got overshadowed by Tim and Austin, and his beat box brother, Adam.

[@soniclover944]

On "closes the door" and "wonders if her love" Rob was slightly sharp, probably about a quarter of a semitone. After years of playing various instruments, especially guitar and bass, I have well trained ears. The vibrato is most likely what threw everyone off.

[@mrbarthol]

MC Productions If in fact he was a quarter of a semitone sharp, which is 1/8 step between the next note, how could they hear that. That's some pretty good ear training!

[@soniclover944]

Mike B the judges (other than maybe jewel), have decades of experience under their belt. And, I have near perfect pitch...I know people who actually do have perfect pitch, and they agreed with me

[@TheLykkeAK]

ooh dat was nice

[@OmArChApIs]

Te best group I ever se en before....

[@christinaleske]

Andrea Budesheim the guy with the hat is Chris and the percussionist is Adam. They're brothers

[@simontempler1938]

einfach nur geil!!!!

[@jennifermullis9265]

And my favorite 90s music would be Ben Folds, Boyz 2 men, Shawn Stockman and Nick Lahcey and 98 degrees

[@Gleenet29]

they better win.

[@iamp0ckets]

Oh my god, 1:14 😂😂😂

[@minneyruth]

🔥🔥

[@keithalexander5557]

Chills.

[@gaftbat]

I wanted to cry

[@TeddysBabygirl2010]

I wonder how they would sound on "Chantilly Lace" by the Big Bopper...

[@scottmcclure8933]

The cold beer would actually help the bass singer..make those vocal chords relax even more and go mega deep

[@hjkilburg5]

Mannn. So much better than Urban Method. A final three of Pentatonix, Darmouth Aires and Home Free would've been incredible!

[@davinmorrison5652]

Ben's reaction at 2:45-2:27 though

[@emmahernandez6469]

That wad freaking good those gessgess are mess up

[@mahmuniparte5131]

Good

[@unetrangegrenouille1482]

they did win, actually. Ten in second and Vocal Rush third. ^_~

[@dylanbinu10352]

I think the pitch issue is at 1:47 “if he take her with him”. He went slightly off-pitch around “take her”

[@eliciellanette]

Yeah, this group is my bet to win.

[@jimmiehenson]

Already did

[@88888gerald]

they just tickle me....

[@changlyn100]

Nothing wrong with the pitch. I listened for it. I'm a musician.

[@midnightrider522]

Wow

[@ladylauraanne]

I never noticed him "off key" not once...amazing....I like It better than the original...sorry Zac Brown

[@studentlogan]

was off on "if he'd" for you guys not sure what theyre referencing. still solid af.
