[@highlyreactivereactions]

Haha it certainly is an amazing talent and we are fully here for it

[@kristindunstan172]

The added fifth part by Adam Rupp during the breakdown really took it up a notch. His voice is always a nice treat. The handoffs between Austin and Rob on the solo parts were flawless.

[@marciaramirez3791]

Loving your Home Free reactions. Have a suggestion for something totally different from the Home Free performances you've seen so far, "Helplessly Hoping". no beatboxing, the beatboxer joins in a 5 part harmony. This rendition will make chill bumps run up and down your whole body. It's a Crosby, Stills and Nash cover.

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Thank you for the kind words and that recommendation 😊

[@adawaymire1825]

Rob Lundquist is my #1 favorite, he has such a wide vocal ability right up to and including opera. He has a degree in opera.

[@kristindunstan172]

It's so hard to pick a favorite because each of their voices have certain qualities that really contribute to the group sound.

[@carolyntaylor7]

Yes, they’re all married. Austin, the high tenor, is the last to get married. You like Rob, ‘the beard (and glasses)? Check Austin’s channel for 2 country singers try to sing opera. You will be totally stunned! You want to hear a live (professionally recorded) performance? Check out the Sea Shanty Medley live.

[@highlyreactivereactions]

That makes me happy 😊

[@tygerbrite]

[@NanaKaren1953]

I agree with the rest of the Home Free band ... Rob has the overall best voice. He has trained in opera and general music, Austin's main subject was musical theatre ... check out his solo Bring Him Home from Les Miserables, STUNNING! Still enjoying your reactions, just right. Thank you. Nana Karen UK

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Thank you for those recommendations Karen and we are glad you are enjoying the reactions

[@ppresley9208]

Love them all , but Chance has a special place in my heart ... his smooth , smoky voice is so seductive and soothing ! These guys have their own individual strengths and they all respect each other's talents ... when they join together , their harmony is simply heavenly ! Can't wait for you to explore their originals and outstanding Christmas music !

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Love that! Also looking forward to hearing their Christmas music closer to the time 😊

[@jeannebrown3254]

Pentatonix is the other group. 4 guys and 1 female. Another great reaction! Some original songs you might check out by Home Free are The Stargazer Trilogy ( Give Me a Sign, Stargazer Lilies, and MR), Playing with Fire, Land of the Free, What's Left of My Heart, and So Long Dixie. That is just a very few! Have a great day!

[@timworks991]

All great originals as good as any of the classics they have covered.

[@highlyreactivereactions]

[@nightthornkvala94132]

So Long Dixie is an exceptionally beautiful song.

[@donnaflynn9615]

Love the video for What’s Left of My Heart. So creative and the original song by Tim is so beautiful!

[@mariawarren5624]

I can't wait to see your reaction to Skull and Bones - Do the lyric and live version. I don't have a favorite as they all take leads and do their thing. I have days where I like each one. Chance has been a great addition as he can pick up the bass line so Tim can take a lead. Just seeing how they have grown over the years is great. Going to see them live in December in Charlotte. I can't wait. My first time and taking my daughter with me. My granddaughter loves dancing to them while I listen on youtube. Over some of their videos their other halves and families are in some. You can see them in a couple of the Covid time videos.

[@highlyreactivereactions]

The lyric video has been recorded and will be released soon 😊 aww thats amazing!

[@JohnT-i5z]

Their album 'Dive Bar Saints' is nearly all originals. 5 or 6 are fantastic. 'Dreamer', 'Catch Me if you can', and 'Love Me Like That' are my favorites. 'Dreamer' is my favorite and is a must at my funeral.

[@highlyreactivereactions]

We will have to check them our

[@nightthornkvala94132]

Playing with Fire is a great original, and please don't skip their comments after. The three in the back are a hoot. The Stargazer Trilogy was written by Austin for his lovely lady, now wife, and fishing partner Amberly, who is in the videos. The lady with the camera in #3 is Chance's wife Sami doing her real life job. For Christmas time watch Full of Cheer, the follow up to Champaign Taste. And they're all married and Adam and Rob have 2 kids.

[@highlyreactivereactions]

We will have to check it out. Thank you for sharing

[@richb313]

This is simply the best rendition of this song ever.

[@highlyreactivereactions]

It is amazing!

[@lazylady8591]

Rob was a music major at the University of Minnesota and was trained in opera so what you see is a mere fraction of his range. His professors encouraged him toward a career in opera, but he chose a different career path. Austin persuaded Rob to do an operatic aria. Rob had Austin to do it with him. Austin had a full scholarship in college in musical theater. Rob took a month to prepare to sing the aria . He and Austin performed Nessum Dorma as a duet. Opera singers have praised Rob's performance and said that he could have easily had a career as an opera singer. If you watch the performance, be prepared to be blown away by how different Rob sounds there than he does in Home Free.. Austin also does great as a crossover artist. Songs that highlight Rob are Boyz II Men's End of the Road, Blue Ain't Your Color, and Honey, I'm Good. Honey, I m Good is an older video when Chris Rupp was a member of the group. it's a humorous song and it has a brief cameo of Rob's, wife at the end. She is a therapist. They have two kids who kept Rob and his wife very busy during Covid lockdown. Four of the guys are married except Austin who is in a long-term relationship. These guys evidently partied hard when they were single except Adam who married younger than the others. He has a daughter. Chance joined the group while he was in a relationship with his future wife. When asked if they dated fans, Austin pointed out that they were married except Chance who was engaged at the time and he Austin was in a four-year relationship. The guys are hoping to be able to tour less in the future to spend more time with their families. There are several videos that show their wives, children, girlfriends in their songs. Pentatonix has a female singer. Voiceplay often has female guest singers (as does Home Free) and even had female singers be part of the group for a time. Both of these groups are based on friends who formed friendships in high school. Home Free started similarly but in the twenty-plus years it evolved to the present group. Only Adam Rupp is an original member of Home Free. If you want to see a female acapella group, you might want to check out season four of The Sing-Off. There was an all-female group, Element, that competed. There was an extremely talented group of teenagers, Vocal Rush, that was composed primarily of girls that had a very rich sound. Voiceplay had a female lead singer during the competition. Season four was when Home Free won. There may have been some all-female acapella groups during the other seasons. I don't know. Pentatonix was on season three which they won. Pentatonix has a female singer Female acapella groups are rare. The reason is that acapella is based on the foundation of bass singers. This is why good bass singers are always in demand in acapella. Women can't sing as many octaves as men. They have to modify music to base it on alto singers instead of bass singers. So it's rare for women acapella groups to get as rich of sound as men acapella groups. Women are basically at a disadvantage in singing in an all-female acapella group because they have a lesser range and can't sing bass..

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Thank you for sharing that information 😊 Gives us a much better understanding

[@jankreps5115]

Be sure to listen to Rob and Austin attempting to sing opera… Nessus Dorma! Listen to end of the Road where Rob has an amazing addition of jazz blues riffs at the end! There are many songs by Home Free that are originals! Check out their album dive bar Saints for many of the songs are there are their own…”Catch Me if You Can; “Cross that Bridge”; “Leave this Town”. “Snow Globe”, “Understand” are more. When you’ve been at home fry for a long time, choosing your favorite is like trying to pick out one of your children to love the most!!

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Thank you for those recommendations

[@timworks991]

Home Free have done several collaborations with female singers; From Here To The Moon And Back with Maggie Baugh, Delta Dawn with Brooke Eden or The Horses with Travis Collins and Amy Shepherd. As you mentioned the male voices of Home Free blended so well with their female guests who are also great singers.

[@donnaflynn9615]

They also did Tennessee Christmas with Rachael Wammack.

[@lularoetracieandkimmirose3157]

And the one at the arcade with Lisa C, the name of which I can't remember right now even though I've seen it at least a doz times

[@donnaflynn9615]

I forgot that one. It’s called Meant to Be.

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Thats awesome. We will have to check them out

[@danivansuperstar]

Hard to pick a favorite, but I'm drawn to deep voices in general, so Tim is my favorite voice. There are so many reasons why that I don't have enough time to type out here. Adam Rupp is the GOAT for vocal percussion, so I don't even put him in the same category as the others.

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Thats a great and respectful answer Dani and I fully agree

[@AngB517]

but Adam's tenor when he does sing is absolutely beautiful, I understand that he prefers to do the beatboxing, it's just a nice addition on the occasions that he does sing. 💗

[@danivansuperstar]

@@AngB517 100% agree

[@ElizabethRoss-uj8rl]

Favorite voice/singer? I have a different favorite in every performance, and that's hundreds of fickled choices over the last decade! My favorite original song, as of the moment, is "Playing With Fire". Austin (the high tenor) wrote a sultry, sexy melody and the guys provided a seductive backing to hold up this work of art. And, yes, they are all married. Home Free is always my favorite vocal band, no fickled choice there. Keep following these guys -- you will always be surprised and the fans will explode your algorithms!

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Haha yeah I know what you mean. They all bring something so unique

[@teresacartwright5406]

Their version of this is terrific - the singing, harmonies & beatboxing are always perfect. All of them are married; the beatboxer (Adam Rupp) & Rob each have two children. Rob & Austin are both classically trained and have a duet of "Nessun Dorma" on Austin's channel. Tim, Austin & Chance are each song writers so you might want to watch Tim's original "What's Left of My Heart"; Chance's "Skull and Bones" and Austin's "Remember My Name" for a sampling.

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Thank you for sharing and the recommendations

[@diannemcintyre2773]

Love them all but I definitely have a great fondness of Tim! They are all so special in their own way. Have seen them in concert twice and they are amazing men as well as singers! I have brought my very young granddaughter to their concerts and they always have a smile and a wave to her while singing. They have all definitely won over her heart! ❤

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Yeah that voice is amazing. Thank you for your comment

[@donnaflynn9615]

Never gets boring. Always wanting each song to last longer! All the guys are special. They all have strengths and they are smart enough to use those strengths to make fabulous harmonies and awesome music!

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Yeah they are defintely a dynamic and wonderful group

[@Cat-fi4ie]

They're all great, that being said Chance has a smoothness to his vocal that the others don't have. So he's my favorite. Dive Bar Saints, Dreamer, are original songs. They're not a capella but Hound and the Fox featuring Chance singing Sound Of Silence and they did a Johnny Cash cover of Wayfaring Stranger. The three of them together are Amazing

[@highlyreactivereactions]

He is defintely amazing!

[@kmwwrench]

I think this is one of their best. The belltones behind Rob's first lead are amazing. Luscious harmonies, perfect percussion and beautiful leads. For an original, try Playing With Fire or the Stargazer Trilogy.

[@highlyreactivereactions]

It was great 👍

[@roniboyd613]

There was an all female a capella group on the Sing Off, but I have not heard of one since then. My fave singer is whoever is singing lead-love 'em all❤ 'Catch Me If You Can' is my fave song sung by Rob. 'Cover Me Up' is my fave song sung by Chance. 'Thinking Out Loud/Let's Get It On' is my fave song sung by Austin & Tim. Austin, Tim, and Chance also have solo work on their own channels. Now, my fave Chance solo is 'If I Could Only Fly, my fave Tim solo is 'Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow/Stay', my fave Austin solo is 'Bring Him Home'. My fave funny ones are 'Brother' & 'Between A Rock and A Heartache'. There, that oughta keep you going for a while! Thoroughly enjoyed your reactions, thank you❤️

[@daleb1279]

Adam Rupp is probably most private, I'm not sure his wife and daughter have been a part of any of the videos produced along the way, but we've seen Rob, his wife and kids, Tim's wife Jenika Marion, Chance's wife Sami, and Austin and (rumors of recent marriage) Amberly who were part of the Stargazer Triology of videos earlier this year (all 3 original songs). Picking a favorite is like trying to pick a favorite child, they are all impressive in their very own way. The guys have featured several up and coming females over time in their songs. A particular favorite of mine is Free Here to the Moon and Back, a cover of a Dolly Parton song they did with Maggie Baugh.

Love this great classic song from Ben E. King back in 1961. The Home Free guys did an awesome version as always. Love their arrangement on this cover. Great vocal leads by Austin & Rob. Tim's bass really stands out for me in this one. And Adam's tasteful vocal percussion is on point. If I have to choose my favorites would be Adam Rupp & Tim Foust holding down the percussion & bass sounds. But I love all the guys voices.

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Thank you for your comment t

[@JoanN63]

One of the songs I have been listening to for as long as I can remember. (I'm from 1963) First the LP, later I always had it on one of my cassette tapes, then I got the CD and in recent years I usually have it on one of my playlists. Although many versions had been released in the meantime, it was usually the version by Ben E. King or Otis Redding. But from now on it is the version of Home Free that is on my playlist and no other.😊💖 Alternating the lead between Austin's powerful voice and Rob's silky soulful voice just sounds so beautiful and fantastic. Then the unparalleled vocal percussion, truly phenomenal. The great bass and beautiful harmony are the finishing touch.❤ Very difficult to choose which one is my favorite, because Home Free chooses for each song which voice suits it best. So they are my favorite group. But if I were really forced to choose one, I think it would be Rob. He can sing absolutely anything. There is so much emotion and soul in it. An original where Rob has the lead is "Dreamer" which is available on YT in three versions. One of their original videos where Rob really only has the lead. Then with Texas Hill and in one also with Texas Hill in live De Ryman. That's one of my favorite originals anyway. Or listen to "Two COUNTRY Singers try singing OPERA-Nessun Dorma" sung by Rob and Austin on Austin's Chanel. You will then be really shocked😉 Or watch their live 9to5+Beatboxing Breakdown live. 😅 I saw them live on September 27th. And I can say that they really are that good. Pure and steady! And there too with a lot of humor.

Great reactions guys! If you want to get to know them more take a look at The History of Home Free. They have 7 videos out that are each about 1/2 hour long. It takes you on a journey of how they got started, all the people that have been in the group over the years and funny stories that will make you laugh. They honestly thought about giving it up at one time, but the beatboxer Adam Rupp kept it alive and I for one am grateful that he did. Champagne Taste on a Beer Budget is one of their original songs. Funny! There are many more also. Have a great day!

Choosing a favorite Home Free member is like deciding which of your kids is your favorite--just impossible. Adam Chance is a unique talent, and i feel like he's under appreciated. Other Home Fries will suggest some videos that feature Chance as the lead. Maybe he's my favorite if I must choose. I really enjoy Tim as well especially for his sense of humor. He's just a naturally funny guy. It really comes out in the live shows. Some of the fan-recorded cell phone concert videos are poor for enjoying the music, but they often can give you a sample of the entertainment value these guys bring to a live show. Tim's humor really shines in some of these amateur KZbin videos.

[@nancyholter5646]

One female group I am aware of is Citizen Queen. I have seen a couple of their videos and they are nearly as impressive as HF. I heard (this may be apocryphal) that Adam learned to play the drums so he could be sure he was providing realistic sounds - including making them be something that an actual drummer would (or even could) play. He often replicates the motions on stage, especially when doing his solo. This group actually did start as sort of a hobby, in 2001, but they persisted and by about 2010 or 2011 they were a full time band. There had been a few changes during that time, but the three originals were still there (Chris and Adam Rupp and Matt Attwood). They had had various basses and tenors during that time. Rob came on in 2010 or 2011, and Tim a bit later. Austin joined in 2012. Chris left in May/June 2016 and Chance replaced him. As for original songs, they have had originals on every album except the Lockdown one. Some were written for them, others Tim and/or Austin wrote/co-wrote. One of the older "Written for them" ones - Crazy Life - has a really fun video. "California Country" (Austin) and "Good ol Country Harmony" (Tim) are older ones by them. You might try "Dreamer", "Catch me if you can", "When You Walk In", or "Dive Bar Saints" for newer WFT ones, but as for newer Tim/Austin written ones - the selection is LARGE. "Road Sweet Road", "So Long Dixie", "What we Need is Love". The Stargazer Trilogy is three of Austin's songs - "Give me a Sign", "Stargazer Trilogy", and "MR". He also wrote "Love me Like That" and "Lonely Girls' World". And now they have "Skull and Bones", written by Chance - both live performances and a lyric video that is a much longer version of the song. Enjoy the rabbit hole - whether it is a cover or an original, the music is fantastic.

This is so good! Loved the bell tones when Rob was singing. Loved the slow part too - those harmonies are exquisite. All of them are married now and Rob and Adam Rupp have kids. They are really nice guys and don’t mind being goofy. Rob can sing opera. They all have great voices. Try some funny ones Brother, Butts Medley, Life is a Highway, Champagne Taste on a Beer Budget. For Chance videos try I Can’t Outrun You, Yours, Some Girls Do. Also Adam Rupp Drum Solo (2015). It’s older but it’s just him and a microphone doing drums…so incredible. Yes, there are girl a cappella bands and most were on the show The Sing Off…don’t know many famous ones. Home Free has the best harmonies I’ve ever heard. 🥰😃

Home Frees' cover of one of my all time favorite songs is so beautiful it gives me the electric shivers. I find my self replaying it over and over and over. I adore all of Home Free, but I gravitate towards Adam Rupp. His beat boxing/vocal percussion is so extraordinary I'm completely fascinated by his talent and skills. Adam learned to play the drums so his beat boxing would be more precise and he's a high energy guy. He's rarely still. They are all married and Rob and Adam each have 2 children. Home Free are the hardest working musicians there are. They are humble, and love and appreciate their fans. They haven't succumbed to the arrogance of celebrity. That's why the Home Fries are so fiercely loyal to them. Great reaction.

Thank yoi for sharing that information Linda 😊

TIM ❤❤❤❤

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Love it!

[@sherryarflin726]

Just another example of how truly talented these guys really are…….

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Pure facts 😊

[@vickybolsby9153]

I made my hubby drive me 6 hours away to another state to see them live. That time was his first time seeing them and it was the last time we drove far away just for me! He absolutely luvs them and we go every chance we get!

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Thats amazing and we hope you had a fantastic night watching them

[@lesliestout2195]

My favorite is the one who is singing at the time. Every time!

[@highlyreactivereactions]

😂 defintely

[@rllangevin3841]

Loving your HF reactions, please keep them coming! Yes, their covers are fantastic - we call them upgrades (!) but their originals are outstanding and they have so many. I believe all but 2 songs on their Dive Bar Saints album and also all but 2 on their So Long Dixie album are originals as well. (There are many others from other albums too.) Others have mentioned Pentatonix (PTX) and VoicePlay (VP) - PTX has 1 female in their group and VP did when they competed on The Sing-Off in 2013 against HF. Some would say PTX is mostly pop; VP is mostly theatre and HF are primarily country/soft rock. Another AMAZING a cappella group that is often overlooked, though IMHO has the best arrangements of them all is Voctave. They are a mixed group, currently 6 guys, 5 gals and the vocals, layering and dynamics of their songs are jaw-dropping. They cover a lot of Disney as many of them sing professionally for Disney, they also have a number of Broadway tunes and beautiful Christmas music in the mix. Suggestions that are a MUST-SEE are: You Will Be Found - done during Covid - just WOW! Disney Princess Medley - features the ladies Disney Heroes vs. Villains - features the guys Disney Love Medley feat. Kirsten Maldonado (from PTX) and her former fiance, Jeremy Michael Lewis Somewhere - highlights each of their 11 singers Prince of Egypt Medley - a vocal masterpiece (audio only, but you won't care)

More Home Free coming to the channel 😊 thank you for sharing that information with us and helping us

[@nightthornkvala94132]

Tim is from my parents' home state of Texas, where I spent most of my summers for years when young so he has a special place in my heart. I met Chance's wife Sami and got to congratulate her on their new marriage. She was a very sweet lady so they have a special place in my heart. But my favorite Home Free member is Austin. I love his Georgia accent and his smile. He was very nice and sweet when I got to meet him pre-concert almost a year ago. He and his lovely lady Amberly got married in 2023 (being the last holdout) and I'm looking forward to congratulating him when I see them again in April. Tim's and Chance's wives work for the group so I'm hoping to maybe spot them during the event and getting a wave or a hello in return. Rob and Adam each have 2 children and their wives are busy with their own careers when they aren't traveling with the guys. You see a lot of their families in their Home Away From Home and Home Free Eats videos.

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Thank you so much for your comment and Happy New Year 😊 We hope its a great year for you

[@Blue-rl5dp]

I recently saw these guys in concert, a small-ish venue with only around 150 people. At the end Tim graced us with a super-low bass bomb and truly, you could see the sound waves in the air like a bomb blast. On videos you sometimes see it rattle the camera as well as the speakers, but it's funny to see that it does that in the real world! Pentatonix. Start your fall down that rabbit hole with "Hallelujah". They are perfect!! (And they have a female singer as well as a guy with the most angelic high voice you ever heard.)

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Thats amazing. Would love to see them live

[@Blue-rl5dp]

@@highlyreactivereactions It was a lot of fun. Tim was teasing a young lady (about 14 yrs old) in the front row. She sassed right back at him and Austin encouraged her.

[@marcom6089]

I love them all for their individual talent but if I had to pick one it would definitely be Austin Brown. If y’all watch ‘when a man loves a woman’ you’ll understand why. My other favorite next to Austin is Adam Rupp with his out of this world beat boxing skills. That’s not to take anything away from how talented Tim, Rob and Adam Chance are but if I had to pick the two mentioned above would be my favorites.

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Gotta love Austin!

[@3873940]

Tim's range for me

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Love that

[@pennymaple1817]

So so pleased to see another UK reactor to Home Free! They are really an exceptional group! I was lucky enough to see them in Manchester in September this year, and in London in 2018. They are fantastic live - they don't do concerts, they do parties! I love your reactions and your enthusiasm for Home Free! I would recommend "Brother" and "Helplessly Hoping" (covers) and, as we move into the Christmas season, please check out "Snow Globe", an original co-written by Tim. Whichever song you choose to react to, you will never be disappointed! They are that good! Subscribed for more #HomeFree!

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Thank you for the kind words and information 😊

[@bella-xp7qd]

There have been many members since Adam and Chris Rupp started this GROUP in 2000. At least 15 different members. But in my opinion these are the best. Chris Rupp left in 2016 for a solo career, that's when Chance joined them. So if you see Chris the video will be pre 2016. See Adam Rupp is growing his hair again. Wondering if he'll donate it again. Last time he donated 10 inches.

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Thats amazing. Thank you for sharing

[@carladewitt1947]

Yes. It is Pentatonix that has both 4 male and 1 female in the group. Voctave is another amazing acapella group with both male and female, much larger with 11 members. Citizen Queen is an all female acapella group that is pretty darned good. You should also take a look at The Bass Gang - all guys and all bass singers with wide vocal ranges like Tim. They did a collab with Tim covering Hooked On A Feeling that is well worth checking out. Acapella is amazing and I agree 100% that it's great to see the resurgence.

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Thank you for sharing that information with us. Very helpful

[@highlyreactivereactions]

[@marlageil7730]

Need to hear “How Great Thou Art”! Adam gets to sing in this one! Awesome!🎶

[@highlyreactivereactions]

We will have to check it out

[@roybarbara4756]

You should listen to "The Driver" a gorgeous tribute to the common worker or Chances "I Can't Outrun Her". Covers but both are gorgeous.

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Thank you for the recommendations

[@daviddavison6391]

There is no picking a favorite. Love the content.

[@highlyreactivereactions]

💯

[@jessiMBS3383]

Adam Rupp actually learned how to play the drums so that he could be more accurate in his beat boxing. All of these guys are super talented.

[@highlyreactivereactions]

I respect that

[@bethmashburn5894]

Adam and Rob are the only ones with kids. But their are all married now. Austin being the last to get married.

[@highlyreactivereactions]

I love that

[@connieharmon2408]

I hope that you will do a reaction to one that features all 4 singing a verse (Austin,Tim,Chance,Rob) and of course Adam's Vocal Percussion(beatboxer). Understand (Original) or Woman,Amen/Female (Cover) or Colder Weather (Cover)

[@highlyreactivereactions]

We will have to check it out 🤘

[@charleneclaassen]

One more month and then we can start on their festive songs. Those are bloody good. DO YOU HEAR WHAT I HEAR is gorgeous (both the arrangement and the video). See if you can spot who is doing some beatboxing besides Adam Rupp in that one. 😊

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Can't wait for the seasonal songs 😊

[@jessiMBS3383]

My favorite is Tim, that bass.....omg

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Beautiful

[@dianeritthaler7792]

They are sooooo Amazing. Great reaction ❤🎉

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Thank you for the kind words

[@sallysmith5090]

Great reaction as usual.. and great question.. Yes! Citizen Queen is an all girl acapeplla group.. Scott Hoying one of the singers in Pentatonix ( I think the P group you were thinking of) was partially responsible for putting together Citizen Queen. Pentatonix is a mixed group that some say rival HF... Pentatonix won the Sing Off the season before Home Free was on. Peter Hollens was a contestant on The Sing Off with a group from the University of Oregon .. On The Rocks. Voice Play was also on The Sing Off that year. To make things a little more confusing, Adam Chance (now Home Frees baritone/bass) was in another group (Street Corner Symphony) that competed on The Sing Off.. lol.. omg... Home Free won the Sing Off If you get a chance.. you should check out the old videos of the Sing Off... great stuff. ( God.. I know what Im saying and It sounds confusing.. Sorry!! ) Love you guys! Thanks!

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Thank yoi for the kind words and sharing that information with us 😊

[@paulavasko4633]

My favorite mixed acapella group is Voctave. My favorite Voctave arrangement is of Mary Did You Know with Mark Lowry singing lead. (He is the composer.)

[@highlyreactivereactions]

We will have to check them out 😊

[@paulavasko4633]

Voctave records many types/styles of music, like Home Free. I hope you enjoy listening to them!

[@itzel1735]

Citizen Queen was doing all female a cappella. Now that they are only four ladies, I think they have added instrumental background.

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Ohh never heard of them. May have to check them out

[@sandyi79]

👏👏👏👏👏👏 … and Austin IF I have to pick a favourite.

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Love it

[@carladewitt1947]

My favorite? I'll give you my standard answer: Whoever is singing in the moment.

[@highlyreactivereactions]

🤣🤣

[@kristindunstan172]

Pentatonix has 4 men and a woman and they won The Sing-Off the year before Home Free. Voctave is a larger group - more like an a cappella choir - and they have a mixture of men and women in their group. VoicePlay was on The Sing-Off in the same season as Home Free. They made it to the top 6 groups that year. I think there was an all female group on that year as well, but I don't remember the name of that group. Someone else might remember.

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Thank you for all your comments and support. They are an amazing unique group and thank you for the recommendation

[@cowboy1165]

Home free does feature some great female singers. Check out "Delta Dawn", "From Here To The Moon And Back", and "Meant To Be".

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Appreciate that recommendation
