Actor and Filmmaker REACTION and ANALYSIS - AUSTIN BROWN "BRING HIM HOME"

[@meemermarie1977]

You should hear austin and rob singing opera “nessun dorma”

[@Ingrid_Haendel]

Absolutely!

[@tammymoseley1348]

Please!

[@LynnRamsay]

💯💯💯

[@dotwyness4110]

Oh yes, maybe listen to it first then go back to comment, it's too good to interrupt.

[@minneyruth]

Yes!!! ❤💯

[@justkaron]

Yes, I feel I did learn from your reaction. Austin is a humble, genuine and extraordinarily talented young man. He's only 36 and has at least a couple more decades to develop his career if that's his desire. All we Home Free fans love him dearly, and enjoy his solo work so much.

[@minneyruth]

❤💯💯

[@babyfry4775]

Austin is wonderful. He majored in musical theater in college. You can hear him and his Home Free band mate Rob Lundquist sing opera in Two Country Singers Try Singing Opera. I love the song. It’s so emotional and Austin did a wonderful job. You have a wonderful voice too and beautiful blue eyes. Hope you’ll listen to more Home Free. They are all incredibly talented men. 😄

[@lrfcowper]

Watching musicians who really know music react to that last note is always so much fun. Austin's degree is in musical theater and this song was one of the songs he sang on the cruise that Home Free was also on where they fell in love with his voice and he fell in love with them. You can understand why. He's got an amazing amount of talent, but also such discipline.

[@jackiestone3468]

We are really going to miss Austin. Whoever takes his place has big shoes to fill! Great reaction🎉

[@kmwwrench]

It IS magical. Speaking of opera, have you seen him and Rob Lundquist sing Nessun Dorma. Amazing.

[@ppresley9208]

Austin is very special !

[@Pattio47]

Austin’s version of this song always brings me to tears

[@terrichristenson432]

This was the best reaction video I have ever seen, loved everything about it. Of course Austin is my favorite singer and Home Free is Amazing. You put those 5 guys together and you have magic. Am hoping you do more reactions of Austins solo work and some of Home Frees music too. Thanks for a great reaction !!!!

[@karinfichtner7479]

You have quite a voice there, young man! As an old soprano who has sung with my share of tenors.....I love your quality. Austin is my very favorite singer....period....today.

[@susanbasl4033]

Welcome to 1/5th of Home Free! They are all individual geniuses, so when they get together to sing, it is beyond magical!

[@brendasorenson6186]

Enjoyed your analysis! Austin has incredible technique. And, yes, you must do Two Country Singers Try To Sing Opera (Nessun Dorma). Austin does a beautiful job, but, Rob!!! You'll never look at Rob the same again!

[@tracyallshouse2730]

Yes‼️🤗 watch Austin and Rob sing Nessun Dorma ❤ It's " Two country singers try to sing opera"

[@invinciblefeelings1439]

this song is beautiful, loved the reaction 👍🏻👍🏻

[@HuskerGram]

I just saw this and must say yours is the best reaction video I've seen. Not too many interruptions & not over-the-to- descriptions to make you sound like you know so much more. I enjoyed your comments w/o stopping the video and the genuine expressions of surprise and joy. I wish others would put short comments on the video itself rather that pause the videos. Great job! I'll watch for more.

[@teresacartwright5406]

His live version of "Unchained Melody at Tim Foust's 6th Birthday Bash" is mind-blowing. Austin & Rob Lundquist also have a duet of "Nessun Dorma" (on Austin's channel). He spent his years in college (on a music scholarship) trying to nullify his Georgia accent. When he joined Home Free, they told him to stop trying. For the most part he can quell that accent but it still comes through now and then. Thanks for playing this & your analysis. Love from Canada.

[@teresacartwright5406]

Now you need to watch Home Free's rendition of "When A Man Loves A Woman"!

[@cottontopprintshop452]

Loved the analogy of an arrow flowing thru the air. Loved the reaction so very much!!

[@denise_landry]

Great reaction Cedric - and you have a beautiful voice!

[@CedricGegel1]

Thank you so much 😀

[@kristindunstan172]

This is the first of your videos I've seen. I really like the way you add the commentary as text. Austin is so good at drawing the listener into the emotion of any song he does. This is an amazing example of that. He has also done Danny Boy. If you haven't reacted to that yet, you should definitely consider doing it.

[@sherryschoenlein8951]

Thank You for reacting to this one, I really liked how you shared your musical knowledge with us, I appreciate when professionals help us understand the small details. ☺️🍟

[@GaiaOne]

Man. Gotta check out Rob and Austin singing Nessun Dorma.

[@davidbangtson3109]

I am not a huge Home Free fan, but I could hardly wait to hear you react to and analyze his performance of "Bring Him Home". He stunned me the first time I heard him do the piece and I still end the song with tears in my eyes. Your analysis was nigh on to perfect.

[@200yente]

Thank you for you analysis. I think this is his best performance ever. While studying musical theater he worked really hard to get rid of his accent. Home Free met him on a cruise ship where he was doing musical theater including Les Miz. When he joined the group they asked him to bring it back. Now he can turn it off and as the song needs it. He can sing any genre.

[@patriciamcl54]

I believe Austin had graduated from production work on the cruise ships to being a featured lounge singer. There is video of him at that stage of his career, singing Dock of the Bay in the lounge area of the ship and singing with Home Free as guest artists.

[@anitawright7169]

This is so very awesome! Austin is truly amazing! Love your reaction!

[@nancyholter5646]

You talked about him feeling the song. You might want to watch him cover "I'm not Supposed to Love you Anymore" - the physical and emotional exhaustion he portrays had some people actually worrying about him.

[@barbarakennedy2667]

I appreciate your detailed analysis. I enjoy learning the subtlety of vocal performances from someone who knows his stuff.

[@sharonmortimer3843]

I don't know if you know but in college he was trained in musical theater. He actually sang this song on tour back in 2014, 2015. He has worked very hard on it till now. I truly enjoy watching your reaction to Austin and this song. You need to check out two country guys try to sing Opera.

[@beadwright]

I enjoyed your reaction. Thank you. Austin Brown is amazing. I love his "It's a Wondrrful World"

[@minneyruth]

That was a great analysis ❤ we all love Austin ❤ Can you please check out Austin and Robs version of Nessun Dorma? You won't regret it. Lol... Subscribed ❤️ BTW you sound amazing yourself 🥰

[@sharonmortimer3843]

I was definitely in tears the very first time i heard this. He did study in Musical theater in college.

[@charleneclaassen]

Mr Cedric Gegel this was one beautiful reaction. I love this song and I was so excited when Austin did this alone on his channel. I love the rasps and cracks he used to emphasize the story, but that last note! My heart almost jumped out of my chest. First he did that gentle, almost reverent 'peace' and it was gorgeous, but I never ever ever expected the start of that last note. His tone just grabbed my heart and squeezed. I've watched this video so many times and am so glad that I decided to watch your reaction. Subbed for more Austin Brown and Home Free reactions. I really like your insight and enthusiasm in this reaction. Thank you.

[@barbarakennedy2667]

I subbed as well.

[@ericachang4752]

A very professional reaction. Thanks for sharing.

[@CedricGegel1]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!!

[@ElizabethRoss-uj8rl]

I've watched and heard many professional singers/artists react to Austin's "Bring Him Home", and yet you've explained his mastery in new ways. Thank you for such an entertaining and educational breakdown of a grand performance. This is my first time being sent to your channel (a bit late here), and hope you'll share more of your reactions to Austin and Home Free masterpieces.

[@susanherman8967]

Bring Him home was the first song I had ever heard Austin sing....ever!! I hadn't known of him nor as a country star even!! Now that I have sought out as much of his work as possible on KZbin, I am totally hooked!!! His total musicality touches my very being like I haven't heard from many other singers in a very long time. By the way, you have a killer voice too and thank you for the bits you shared as you were giving you two cents about Austins voice. Thank you for your KZbin channel. I will be watching you again soon. Susan

[@jillchamberlain6478]

I loved your reaction, thank you for this!!

[@oldschoolpop8428]

No Tears in Heaven and Georgia on my Mind are his 2 very best solo works!!!!

[@vickiadkins9844]

Home Fry here!! Ty for your reaction!! Austin is amazing as usual! Please react to Nessum Dorma with Rob and Austin!! Subbed for more Home Free and their solo projects!!

[@dagmar.6954]

Enjoyed your analysis. That was a very beautiful rendition. This is a very hard song to sing but Austin nailed it. He has a great voice for musical theatre songs.

[@pamelagoodman7559]

Please react to Austin Brown and Rob Lundquist sing Nessun Dorma. I am very happy to have found you as an Austin and Home Free reactor, and look forward to more from you. I enjoy sharing in your delight of music.

[@nightthornkvala94132]

Whereas this video was recorded inside Austin's home, his videos for Ain't No Sunshine and Tears in Heaven were filmed outside his house in the evening with his fishing pond in the background, and with his house in view when the camera swings around during Tears in Heaven. Two beautiful songs sung in a beautiful voice with a very beautiful background. Steven on guitar and Sebastien on piano are good friends of his, musicians he works with often. In fact, Sebastien is part of Sweet + Low Music Co, a non a cappella band Austin and bandmate Tim Foust put together with friends and family (Tim's SiL and FiL). I don't think they've said but I do think the idea of this group got its start with Tim and Austin's video for My Maria, with Sebastien, Chris Chatham (Tim's longtime friend), and Chris Marion (Tim's brother-in-law). That makes 3 videos I'm recommending with the plea to please keep listening after the song is over. The messages are heartfelt, moving, and can be very amusing. Not skipping that part of each video I'm sure will bring a smile to your face. Enjoy!

[@ronaldschweitzer1110]

Thanks for your heartfelt reactions to this.

[@geniej9093]

Truly enjoyed your reaction and yes, I did learn from your expertise. I'll be looking for your work on my journey.

[@ginnykerlin]

I really enjoyed your reaction to this performance. I learned so much.

[@dawnmanzetti1633]

Breathtaking rendition ❤️🎶👏

[@debbiehall9091]

Austin does an amazing job on this song. This is an amazing song. You should check out Austin and Rob sing Nessun Dorma it's amazing.

[@miamidolphinsfan]

Austin & David Phelps are my 2 favorite tenors outside of Opera. Have you heard Austin's original "If I met you now" ??? It's stunning and if you can please react to it.

[@nancyholter5646]

another one where he 'feels' the sadness.

[@hdenisewooten2428]

Agree--David Phelps and Austin Brown are wonderful tenors.

[@vinnieblair8576]

Thsnk you for a detailed review, Enjoyed that.

[@terimingle8957]

Loved your reaction!! Thank you!!

[@pcs1824]

Excellent peer to peer review.

[@tinanichols203]

Great reaction. This was spectacular. Best ever.

[@ruthcurfman7532]

I have watched your analysis several times - I enjoy your reaction/emotions in your eyes. ❤

[@CedricGegel1]

Thank you! 😊

[@par500dragon7]

So glad you're a Home Fry - me, too! Love those guys. However, I also love VoicePlay and didn't see any videos in your list for them. I think you'd like and appreciate their unique style of creativity and, of course, incredible vocal talent. They are the 'theater kids' of acapella and often utilize sets, costumes, and makeup. And almost all of their pieces are like little plays.. Favorites are: Hoist the Colours, Warriors, Carry On Wayward Son, Dream On, Queen in 5 Minutes, Nothing Else Matters, Golden Hour, and the newest one - Valhalla Calling.

[@jeffreyjacobs390]

It's obvious there is vocal training and live performance skills employed herein .... but, in the end AS MUCH KNOWLEDGE CAN DO ..... This Austin Brown has so much natural ability, range, timbre and resonance etc ..... to his voice ONE CAN ONLY BE AMAZED at every song he masters ! I am a fan of Home Free as well as Austin and Tim Foust, Chris Chatham, Sebastian Beyoin etc .... playing in splinter groups and duets ..... Natural Talent galore ! GBjj

[@terrijom9227]

SO ENJOY your way you critique. Thank you.

[@CedricGegel1]

Thank you so much!!

[@wirelessmikedj7784]

Operatic Tone....um...."Two Country singers try to Sing Opera".....will leave you speechless with Rob and Austin.

[@creationsbychancecan]

Austin has a good grounding in Musical theater. You might like Rob and Austin's version of the Aria Nessum Dorma. Rob has some classical training and after Austin heard Rob's part, he redid his. Good info on the breakdown of the song

[@patriciamcl54]

Austin was also classically trained, first as a teenager then in a school (OCU) where the opera kids and music theatre kids had a lot of training in common.

[@johnl5316]

thank you.. I really appreciated your authenticity

[@vinnieblair8576]

New Sub here. Thoroughly enjoyed this review. How have I now seen this channel before? Now I have to go check if you have any Home Free reactions. CHEERS!!

[@susannamitteregger7253]

Am I hearing right, I'm not sure, but does Austin have some crystalline background tone or resonance in his voice???? He is amazing❤

[@tinanichols203]

That was fabulous

[@sirdano2642]

Nice reaction.

[@loririchards2602]

I absolutely adore Austin and Home Free. As a matter of a fact I've seen them in concert 5 or 6 times. If you want to hear another tenor, they call "The Voice", the best tenor in the world. David Phelps, sang with the Gaithers for 20+ years, but is solo now. Check him out. AUSTIN IS AMAZING!

[@patriciamcl54]

Phelps has nothing like Austin's musicality or technique. He also falls short in the acting side of singing.

[@loririchards2602]

I disagree, and many other people would also disagree. David is the best tenor in the world. Austin said he is the one he wants to be like

[@philbrown2563]

If you like Bring Him Home you will really like him sing another solo At Last by Edda James in same key. Really shows versatilely.

[@bethelliot7140]

❤❤🤗

[@janarookswood4395]

BTW, Austin studied Musical Theater un college

[@sag2horses]

#HOMEFREE

[@u.s.veteranandpatriot7511]

did you see Homefree and The Oakridge boys do "Elvira" ? give it a listen

[@CedricGegel1]

I have! I’ve been to eight Oak Ridge Boys concerts, so I was all over that when it came out. Thanks for the Rec!!

[@JohnBare747]

The dude can sing! What else is there to say?

[@lolcatyt2066]

Please listen to Austin singing "Tears in Heaven" He does a fantastic rendition of the Eric Clapton heartbreaking song he wrote in memory of his 4 year son, who tragically died from a fall from a balcony.

[@roeloftooms]

You should take a dive into Tom Ball. Entered BGT and a year later the AGT all stars. He also did this song on a live session sitting on a couch kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5nJpXyQh9Rsp9U Another performance of him makes you wish to get him on your stage kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqrHp4ltr5qAb7M

[@sandrafarley7967]

you need to listen to him and Rob L sing opera

[@joanwharff6483]

Austin is one incredibly talented guy….he can take your breath away 🔥🎶🎵❤️‼️ Austin & his girlfriend, Amberly Hall…do a pod cast …”BEAUTY & THE BASS”…..they love fishing 🙃😉💥🔥❤️‼️

[@u.s.veteranandpatriot7511]

I see you are also a fan of Joe Burrow- being a L S U fan -share the love

[@Сергейнемид]

Watch at new song winter without snow by Diana Ankudinova 19y.o.

[@jeffreyjacobs390]

Have to say - the "assessment" of Austin using His Southern Vocal style ..... a gift as well as Natural and charming ..... is a little uppity - a typical tool for the "TRAINED" Opera mindsets ...... I am a Southerner by choice - 40 years - and I have to say it is annoying that people think it an accent not acceptable. Think of it when you make judgement. Thanks, jj

[@CedricGegel1]

Hi! While I hear where you’re coming from, I exclusively referred to it in a complimentary way. It is, in fact, an accent, as all voices have one; he does not always use a classical operatic approach to his vowels. That’s part what makes him unique and wonderful. I grew up exclusively listening to country music and love the sound. There’s not a skosh or ounce of judgment - just observation. Thanks for watching!

[@johnl5316]

you are damn cute, btw.....

[@ryanje8147]

so many pauses......lol

[@LadyDragonsblood]

This is a HUGE pet peeve for me. A YOUNG man, no matter how talented or fantastic CAN NOT SING THIS SONG! It is an OLD BATTLE WORN MAN begging God to save the young man instead of him in battle. A YOUNG voice CAN NOT grasp that emotion! I love Austin, but he is TOO young to sing this song!

[@patriciamcl54]

Nonsense. This may come as a shock, but actors and singers do not always play people of exactly their own age. Hugh Jackman was in his 40s when he played Valjean and Alfie Boe was no older. There are such things as acting and make-up. In fact if you know the story of Les Mis, you'll know that Valjean is not so old, is physically very strong and has not really been in battle, so is not battle worn! It would be absurd to cast a Valjean incapable of lifting Marius. There are not many broken down voices in musical theatre, for obvious reasons. It's a mistake to be too literal in these things. Btw Valjean and Marius are not in a battle - Marius has been injured in the attack on the revolutionary barricades, and Valjean is praying for the life of the man his adopted daughter loves, in the tunnels beneath Paris. He knows that the effort of carrying Marius to safety may kill him, or his life-long enemy may kill them both.

[@nancyholter5646]

You needn't be old to pray for something, to be desperate to know your prayers will be heard.

[@scottrogers7242]

Hater, as usual. Take some Valium and shut up with your stupid and unfounded opinion.
