They aren't afraid to get goofy. Making people laugh and not taking themselves too seriously is a big part of why we love them.

[@momD612]

Absolutely 💯 💯 ❤❤

[@lindaroselevin2191]

So bad at the names. The guy with the beard has sung lead before. You can hear his opera training then. It is a cover.

[@susanengland3919]

Adam is actually saying "Oh yeah" when it sounds like he's belching, it's easier to hear on their CD.

[@pamelagoodman7559]

They’ve said the producers came on strong with the Austin/Tim fronting but HF insisted that Rob be the lead in Colder Weather. Producers were slightly unhappy but agreed to it.

[@kristindunstan172]

Our first look at Rob’s chin near the end there.

[@michaelnancyamsden7410]

As a Home Fry since 2015. I enjoyed your reaction.

[@changlyn100]

Adam Rupp grows his hair and then donates it for cancer patients

[@lindanearing4710]

What makes Home Free so extraordinary is the fact that the versatility of their skills and voices give every song so much texture and color and Adam is their secret weapon. They just would not be the same with any member missing or different. There are obviously no egos in this group. If there's a laugh to be had they will go for it. They don't worry about just showing off their pretty faces. What other group would endure so much abuse just to entertain their fans? Love them so much. Loved your reaction. It was great, as usual.

[@lorrie2677]

Speaking of moonshine, you should react to their song Moonshine. It is one of my favorites and rarely reacted to. I think you really like it.

[@darlaharrelson6487]

I like your reaction to these songs. 😊# HOMEFREE. Gotta love them.

[@rebeccaashmore7025]

I need to watch your interview with Chris Rupp because in every video I have seen of Home Free on the Sing Off, in every reaction to Home Free performances on the Sing Off, the judges make mention of every member except for Chris! The other 4 all get an assortment of compliments and kudos. At no point did I hear Ben, Jewel or Shawn direct a comment to Chris. This song is "The Cars song" in our house and my kids love Home Free all the more for covering it, especially with the silly faces.

[@karinfichtner7479]

I luv luv LUV Austin's long hair and beard! And I've been checking out Adam's arms for a long time. There's no doubt he has the best body of them all. Love when he wears those sleeveless shirts.😋

[@justjennb11]

Ok I know you've done their version of Ring of Fire with Avi Kaplan, but please react to the Sing Off version. That's the song that made me fall in love with them. Oh and talk about Tim's bass......

[@glendamcgrady1244]

Goofy, but phenoenomally talented!

[@autumnwood543]

The fan effect makes them all look so good…. And funny.

[@ArleneAdkinsZell]

Great reaction, glad you did the two versions together. Home Free was wonderful at the sing off, now, with several years of growth and seasoning, they are FABULOUS!

"Man looks like he's about to go make moonshine" Perfect time to recommend their song called...moonshine

I think you may be thinking of someone called Fabio for the 80s romance cover for Adam Rupp.

The Sing-Off performance of I'm Alright was so good, I am hoping they are including it on this album, and even that they reprise with Filharmonic.

Adam Rupp gives me Thor vibes😊 I love them for making me laugh or just simply making my day so much better.

Sorry, that's Tim hitting those super low notes. When Home Free performed on Sing Off Austin had only been with them for a few months.

Loved this season of the sing off..but I had 2 favorites one was Voiceplay (I'm from Florida so that was a given) and Home Free. I was torn on who I wanted to win because I loved them both. I still don't really have a favorite between the two groups. 🤷

[@TheSquishyWitch]

calm down Tim!

[@troubledone123]

It was a leaf blower and they had a blast

[@AngB517]

Can anyone help me out? I know they are wearing band shirts, Tim has on a Journey shirt, Adam has a Buffalo Springfield shirt, but I can't get Austin, Rob and Chance's. In their video for the song Remember This, Austin is rockin' some awesome Willie Nelson braids 🙃...... apparently my brain can't remember which remember song the video was for.... I just clicked on the Remember My Name video and that's the Willie Nelson braids. d'oh!!

[@sp72929]

You should watch the Sing Off with the intro and the judges afterwards - the intros are hilarious, the boys behind the scene and the judges reactions are pure gold!

[@Indigo_moon]

The version from The Sing Off Tim did a growl, which always gets a row from the audience. In this version he used his chest voice, which is technically more difficult. Just like in Skull & Bones, he used his chest voice. You can tell because it sounds more gravelly. Knowing Tim, he'll probably do a growl when they sing it live in concert because he likes to have fun with the audience. And let's be honest, that's what Home Fries expect and love. Lol

[@debbiehall9091]

Another hysterical video. This is so funny. I don't think Chance likes the leaf blower.🤣🤣❤️❤️❤️

[@toodlescae]

9:21 That FACE 😂😂😂😂😂

[@connieharmon2408]

Love Home Free ❤, Great Reaction

[@lullyhoneybee]

I've heard through the rumor/reactor comment grapevine that Chance had a migraine the day this was filmed, so if that's true, props and shout out to him, cuz I know when *I* have one, I'm not getting out of bed/out from underneath the covers, let alone standing under bright lights, surrounded by people and loud noises, on top of having increasing levels of wind/air blown in my face. Sounds like a nightmare on steroids to me. THAT is the mark of a true professional. Best song/video of the album so far for me! (Also, congrats on your engagement! So special, you lucky ducky!)

[@AngB517]

🙋‍♀ I've had migraines for over 30 years, I'd have been bawling.

[@karenm5681]

🤣Oh, you had me laughing so hard with your comment right here… 18:58 So true! I hadn’t noticed before but now I can’t un-see it!😂

[@belinda9696]

Yes, it was a leafblower.

[@SarabethWhite]

[@pennygarrity386]

Tim once said in an interview that Adam is the magic of Home Free and no one tells him what to do in a song. He just seems to know what sounds the song needs and that's what he does. I love that Adam actually managed to smile with that leaf blower aimed at his face lol

[@joyvanderveer2282]

How many other groups would do this to themselves just to entertain themselves and their fans? This was so much fun! I loved it. I also loved watching you play with your ring while you are still getting used to it. Soooo cute.

[@200yente]

Now that you mentioned it, the guys sang Moonshine with Austin in the lead during the pandemic. You must check it out.

[@patriciamcl54]

Seconded. It's a great arrangement by Austin that shows off some of their best points (Austin singing high harmony with Rob's solo and a rare outing for Chance's tenor reaches), plus the deck you saw being built in Earn It now ...err.. half built.

[@danivansuperstar]

I third this! I have always thought the arrangement they do of Moonshine was one of their masterpieces. I just love Tim's baseline, and every time Chance comes in at the end makes me melt. Love it!

[@BLBurns2000]

The lot of them make my heart happy seeing them having so much fun and loving what they do and being with eachother. 🙂

[@rhodrijames7962]

Ha! I knew DJ was going to completely lose it on the 2023 version 🤣

Great reaction to both versions!! Poor Chance ended up with a major migraine after the filming. The things they will put themselves through for their Home Fries!!

Oniy Adam could manage to look sexy with wind blowing so hard in his face.

[@sharonmortimer3843]

This is actually the 3rd video for this song. You may want to watch it too. Jewel told them that she loved how they showed how to build a band. This I believe the second song that they sung on The Sing Off. They just keep upgrading their own versions of the songs. I enjoyed watching your reaction to this song.

[@SleepyheadJJC]

Thank you 😊

[@JoanN63]

Oh oh oh those guys are so good and funny. I'm laughing my ass off, especially at their faces. What fun they would have had during those recordings. I've seen it a few times and each time I see something new. But my attention still remained on the singing and that inhumanly good beatboxing. You could say I was laughing while swinging. Because it sounded amazing again. It has become much better than the performance of the Sing Off. But what I like so much is that even if you don't see the video, what you hear is still great. With many groups the song is nice and good when you watch the video, but without a video it is a lot less and I had enough after listening to it once. I don't have that at all with Home Free. They are top, but not over the top❤

[@annehffry3284]

That was a fun trip down the highway! Great performance of the song, loved the windblown faces, and Adam- wow he showed off!!

[@kathleendescoteaux-im4gz]

They were together for 10 years before the show and at their first try they didn’t pass the next year the producers loved them but wanted to brand them as Country Acapela only and the boys were against it 😂 after a long talk they decided to go with the show idea and look were they are ❤️ good sacrifice 😂

[@brendasorenson6186]

Those goofballs! 😂 I always liked the Sing-Off version, but, dang, hearing the two side-by-side... the absolute growth in 10 years is phenomenal! For this Sing-Off performance, the theme was a party anthem, and the newest version makes you want to dance 💃!!!

[@starcarm]

Thank you for agreeing to the double reactions! I love them!

[@miamidolphinsfan]

Dylan, if you thought this was great (and it was) you're going to lose your mind on CRUISE.....they have upped their game and they are putting out nothing but ABSOLUTE 10 out of 10 BANGERS

[@patriciamcl54]

I understood that the decision to feature Austin and Tim was not just the producers' whim, but that every group was asked to nominate two of their members to be featured, though it was certainly discussed with the producers. If you watch the opening intro numbers,, you'll see that the same people are featured each time from other groups as well. Producers know that with literally hundreds of people on the show, the public will get confused and lose interest unless individuals are featured. Every TV talent show needs only enough "characters" to follow as we watch at home. So despite all the bleating about Tim and Austin being featured, it was part of the rules and was originally the band's decision. Austin was not only an extraordinary talent but the only one with extensive experience of the sort of big production numbers that opened each show. Tim was the only true basso profundo so it made sense to feature him. I said before on one of these double bills that it really is no way to measure the band's progress, since in the SingOff each group had only a week to arrange, learn and rehearse each number, as well as hours of drilling for the production numbers. They were worked12 hours a day without a day off, Austin needed medication to save his voice, and they had the stress of competition as well. Comparing that process and live recordings with what they can produce with the services of a top-rate producer and recording separately (Adam and Austin record in their own studios so they can stay at home) is comparing oranges and apples.

[@andreaislandgirl720]

Yeah, I heard they had to fight with the producers to let Rob sing lead on Colder Weather. They probably allowed it because Home Free had already caught everyone's attention by that point.

[@patriciamcl54]

@@andreaislandgirl720The producers were understandably not keen to let any group change featured singers, in case everyone wanted to do it in all the other groups! I think also it was the bad state of Austin's throat after over-use that persuaded them that he couldn't do it, and didn't want to.

[@PaulaThompson-x9w]

Adam is the only one I can concentrate on lately and with as much beauty as is in this group of men, that's saying something. LoL. Whew! Thanks for the Home Free reactions

[@rllangevin3841]

[@candleburner2006]

This is from the new CD "As Seen On TV" and they took all the songs they performed on Sing Off, including all the songs they had ready but weren't used for whatever reason. I haven't gotten the new CD yet but can't wait till I do

[@jadaskye]

In the first performance, that boom, boom sound I think (in part at least) is produced by the guys encouraging the audience to clap along and they are hitting their mike hand with their free hand.

[@babyfry4775]

Too funny. The boys are goofballs and I love them. Soooo good. Love the remake too. Good one DJ!!!🤣🤣

[@anitawright7169]

This is so very awesome. Seeing the version from the Sing-Off and the new version is amazing. Home Free never disappoints! Love your reaction!

[@dagmar.6954]

Thanks for the double feature. I am most familiar with Tom Cochrane's version of this song than Rascal Flatts. The guys did a great cover of this song on the "Sing Off". They later released a studio version of this when Chance was with them. The video shows them touring & the behind the scenes at shows. And now they have just released this 3rd version of this song. The guys all sounded great as usual & enjoy their sense of humor. Love Tim's low bass growl. And Adam Rupp once again stole the show with all his cool sounds. He really has an unreal range.

[@lschoenrank]

Yes, as you said, the judges at the Sing Off really only wanted Austin's tenor, Tim's bass, and Adam's beatboxing. The other two were really relegated to the chorus. When you get a chance, watch the full episodes.

[@patriciamcl54]

The band were the ones to say who they wanted to be featured, and it was the same for every group. The band won FFS, so why we have this complaining about who sang what, I really do not know.

[@coletedeux]

Chance looks like Popeye.

[@diannableichner5521]

I loved your reaction to this video especially to the updated version. I think I ran it back 3 times just to see your reaction to Adam Rupp at the beginning. You had me rolling and wishing I could share this video with my twin brother who passed away in January of this year. We shared videos and reactions with each other all the time. He would have loved this too. Thanks for a good laugh.

[@rulab]

I really like these double features. They're so fun and show so much growth. It's interesting to see how much they have grown. Actually fabulous to see. Thank you Carin for this request and the suggestion DJ sees both versions! What a great idea! Loving this reaction DJ, great to see you enjoying these boys so much and just being so excited by their changes and improvements.

[@leslieoneal4464]

The whole Austin/Tim front man thing for the Sing-Off has been confirmed by Tim, himself. 👍😉 If Adam gets any better at his craft (or any more buff/sexy as h^II!!), I'm gonna have to stop watching them!! LOL I've already had *one* heart attack, for heaven's sake! 😳🤣

(Not a bad showcase for their hair either 🤣) I love that they showed Adam doing some of his bass drops--SO talented! 🥰 I don't know that anyone has ever actually publicized Adam's range, but I sincerely believe his is the widest vocal range of all the Home Free fellas 💕

[@teresacartwright5406]

I've always loved all 3 of their versions of this song. Of course the singing & harmonies are terrific and Adam just keeps outdoing himself with his beatboxing - I sometimes wonder if he is an alien! Their collective sense of humor and lack of ego makes for great, fun videos. I almost always miss live streams but fortunately, I can watch them later. Love your channel - your energy and enthusiasm is infectious! PS - Another reactor described Austin as "funky Jesus on a highway". I love it when Adam's & Austin's hair is loose!

[@mellchiril]

Oh I was waiting for you to do this one, I knew you'd lose your mind haha. I love how during the high wind part everyone is just having a blast, and Chance just seems to be suffering, trying to breathe. Well, I say 'love', obviously I don't want him to suffer, but it stands out compared to the rest, which is why it's funny to me. Also yesss Adam freaking Rupp... show off those mad skills dude, loving every second of it.

[@janhankins911]

I've heard that Austin and Adam are growing out their hair and when they cut it, they donate it. Just goes to show that they aren't just talented, they're wonderful, caring people, too. The more I learn about these guys, the more impressed with them I am. I keep telling them that if they need a little grey-haired lady that can't sing in their videos, to get in touch. Strangely, they haven't done so...

[@marshajensen8415]

At the time the Sing-Off was taped, Austin had been with the group for only around six months. It made sense to focus on him and Tim as the leads. But not on every song!

[@patriciamcl54]

They were asked to nominate two featured singers, as was every group. It was their decision who to make the front man. if you see any of the other groups' performances, they didn't switch around leads either.

[@scottdarden3091]

I don't know about what you were told about the show telling them they wanted to focus on Austin and Tim. Voice play was on the show that year and I seem to remember they spread it around. Even so Home Free beat them and would again today.

[@patriciamcl54]

They probably have, but you can't tell from comparing a live recording of a song prepared for performance in a few days (as well as long hours spent rehearsing the opening numbers) with the recorded creation of a producer.
