Finale Night Performance - Home Free & Jewel - "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" - Sing Off 4

Oh..unfortunately we are at that brink again of cancellation =(..the ratings fell a lot since the premiere and didn't have a good hold on the voice lead in..it also only scored a 1.3 in the finale when it got a 1.6 two years ago but that ended in November..but it's also down from season 2 where it got a 2.7 and that ended on the end of december too...i'm pretty sure that they might re-cancel it again =( but who knows, maybe it'll still come back just for a limited run....:/
I'm usually not a big jewel fan but her voice fits very well in this nice slow christmas song with the guys backing her up it's like you're listening to a lounge singer lol. I had a feeling she was gonna sing with these guys cause it seems like she's been loving them from the beginning..not to mention the country connection. A

[@jamespagan4819]

Jewel is fully involved and showed she was emotionally invested in her performance. Still watching this years later. Home Free background pitch perfect.

[@anxietyjay]

can we PLEASE talk about the vocal percussion here because he did those brushes throughout the entire song, PERFECTLY, and I don't understand how

[@claytonlovett6426]

He's a human drum

[@jayjohnson370]

Show of Hands! Who would like to obtain a Christmas CD featuring Jewel and Home Free?

[@tlove21]

The Bass is crazy crisp man Tim is a beast. Jewel singing to them sweet harmonies just makes this a blessed performance..

[@nickchittum7548]

This may have been the best, most clean, performance on this show ever. Maybe even one of the top live performances by an acapella group ever, up there with pentatonix's Hallelujah live.

[@susansisson366]

This song is absolute perfection! There will never be a better version of this song! Congrats all round!

Susan Sisson - I positively agree, such a blessing.

Can you imagine sitting around with these guys? They don't have to pull out any instruments and at just the snap of a finger you have an amazing sound before you.

[@SophieRussellMusic]

god, they have a fantastic bass

[@LuzAnn63]

His name is Tim Faust, a force to be reckoned with, very talented, all of them!

[@tranbahung2167]

I agree.The bass was killing me

[@mitzaz8812]

Love it. They sang beautifully, percussions were dead on track and their voices never overpowered Jewel. Bravo 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏

[@saranghae1saranghae]

I was NOT expecting that from Jewel. In my opinion, she really did a great job. I mean, I know her songs, and she can sing, but here, she SUNG the hell out of this song.

[@philchua3049]

Whoah! Jewel's voice!

[@pensue37]

This song still gives me chills and I have listened to it 3 times now... so glad Home Free won but especially glad they got to do this beautiful song with Jewel!

[@strooomon]

This only makes me sadder that this show could not continue. The worst performance on this show tops the best of most others. The judges comments were both honest and relevant. A huge loss.

[@cassiusnolan2851]

A trick: watch series on Flixzone. I've been using them for watching lots of of movies recently.

[@johnmartin9294]

@Cassius Nolan definitely, I've been watching on Flixzone for years myself :)

[@jennifermullis9265]

This is a very emotional version of this song with Jewel and I want to meet Home Free face to face because they are so talented

[@LuzAnn63]

Jennifer Mullis, seeing Home Free live is an amazing experience!

[@Lauryn9917]

OMG JEWEL THIS WAS GOOD TO MY SOUL

[@lauramartha3]

Great! I was not expecting a jazz/big-band style, with such tight, tight, close, high harmonies and great transitions. You know it was good when Shawn jumped up twice and even yelled "Wow!"; and at end, you can hear him commenting to Ben, 'they showed a real jazz style' (or something close to that). Shows that Home Free can sing in any style.

[@cindyeaston4593]

Big Band style? LOL There's only 5 guys and they sound like an orchestra with Jewel. The best group every to be on Sing Off. Look up Adam freestyliing with his beat box abilities - not sure there's anyone better.

[@ojacid]

The comment was "They showed some jazz chops, man."

[@billswingle2672]

Bottomline is the boys are fantastic!

[@rayanimal1955]

I really loved this arrangement. For the naysayers, one has need to understand the syncopated rythms, the fact that the vocals presented are a product of her core, and in turn are affected by the movements of her arms, legs and indeed facial distortions. I found her performance well done and flattering to home free, she did indeed feature tham as stars with rather complicated harmonies... for those that pick at the scab, music is more than who stands up front, it is a product of ones very soul, she and they presnted that with a humility that astounds me... awesome in my eyes.l

[@JenSuki28]

Whoa... for a second it felt like it was snowing outside my house

[@NewJerseyFarmer]

I was lucky enough to see Home Free on their Christmas Tour "Full of Cheer" the beginning of this month here in NJ - they are truly amazing! Their personalities compliment each other - what a great group of guys! WHAT GREAT VOICES!!! And, I took my husband who is now a HUGE fan, too!!!

[@macdawg6294]

how the HELL is he making the brushes noises on the snare so perfectly. that's insane

[@alexiz0013]

That's just what I was thinking, haha

[@ChrisKoraltan]

because Adam... that's why

[@catherinezuklic5070]

Of course it's not someone's voice, that really is brush-drumming. So not completely a cappella.

[@ChrisKoraltan]

no that's Adam the beatboxer making brush sounds that's just how good Adam is

[@Southamericangirl42]

+Catherine Zuklic That, dearie, is why they call him beatboxer extraordinaire. All sounds are 100% human voice. So yeah, completely acappella.

[@jezebel324]

I'm in love with the bass dear god, it give me the shivers

[@amazingdany]

I usually don't watch the show but I stuck around for Jewel and Home Free's song. Holy sheet, I was glad I did! It was really respectable!

[@michelemabelle222]

I haven't been a Jewel fan, but really liked this performance. I think the three judges were the best I've seen on ANY of this type of show. They were all thoughtful with their remarks, entertaining, and worked really well as a team. Kudos to them.

[@ShawDAMAN]

Yeah by far the only show of this type that doesn't sicken me. Very little overplayed lacrimose sentimentality or contrived 'drama,' no slogging through intentionally crappy auditions, no cookie cutter archetypal judge clones... an actual TALENT show, let's see who's best and here some legit musical insight along the way from REAL musicians and analysts. So the logical conclusion is of course that it isn't as popular and will probly go the way of the dodo.

[@devilundercover]

really nice to see judges with actual talent! LOVED this, and Shawn & Ben's performances too. Lovely!

[@jaye108]

Lol Austin you were just beaming like your all time dream came true, that's how your fans feel about you guys and meeting them after the show I've only seen that in Branson MO after the shows. Great great congrats 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉💜😎

3:20 was what i waiting for... damn they made the mellow song wonderfully and elegantly climactic.

[@cobie296]

i just cant fathom how angelic and beautiful and amazing jewels voice is. WOWWWW!!!!! she should sing this way all the time. what a versatile voice

[@seamus1956]

Perfect combination, sharp vocals and delightful execution. Country and jazz blended perfectly. Honey to the ears. (It sure got Shawn Stockman going, didn't it?)

[@arcountry21627]

that was perfection

[@scottdaniels8129]

I'd say this was my favorite sing-off performance, lead and harmonies were just ridiculous.

[@brgorham68]

Jewel is usually such a warbler (not an insult just a comment on her vocal style). She really change gears and sang like an ingenue from the 60s, nice versatility!

[@cqsallie]

I'm glad you mentioned that, Brian. Exactly! Maybe some of the difference between the warbling and the pure can be explained by the absence of the band. The beauty of a capella is, of course, the fact that there are no musical instruments. She did a fantastic job on this, but I truly think she was made better by the backup group - in this case the orchestra of human voices.

[@rogervalkriye4133]

@@cqsallie I know I'm 4 years late, but she is literally known for singing acoustic, just her guitar. She doesn't do bands or background instruments. If anything, she'd sound BETTER without them. Jewel isn't a "pop" singer she's a folk singer. All her songs are played acoustic because that's how they're written. Your comment totally baffled me.

[@mjparadero7046]

In 1988 I was standing watch as the Officer of the Deck on the USS Tarawa. I answered the phone at about 23:40 on December 24th. A young woman’s voice asked me if I was a sailor serving on the ship and if I was away from home. I said, “yes m’aam” and then she beautifully sang this song and hung up. If you are that woman and read this I want to thank you. It was wonderful and thoughtful and, even through the phone speaker, sounded lovely. Thank you and God bless you wherever and whoever you are!

[@curtm97982]

For those that think Home Free is a one trick pony pay attention to Shaun's comment at the end; "Beautiful, Beautiful. They showed some jazz chops man."

[@lauramartha3]

Yes, indeed, curtm97982: I was expected a 'country' arrangement, but this was oh so cool jazz (I've played in big bands and w/female jazz vocalists) and they just nailed everything about the jazz sound: tight, high harmonies to match her lower, sort of raspy range, and when she stopped & they took over, Austin & Rob were so high & exactly on pitch & smooth as alto flute & high saxes, I almost didn't realize Jewel had stopped singing (the transition was spot on!), and the jazz harmonies at the end were exactly right (some kind of diminished chord, I think). Home Free can rock out the best of country, but this was wonderful jazz.

[@Husitka]

Home Free seem to be able to do any style. They just focus on country because they like it.

[@PanduPoluan]

In fact, in the beginning, Home Free was "all purpose". When Tim and Austin joined, because their voices was the quintessential "country music" voice, they tried giving a country twist to their singing, and their fans loved it! So they decided to focus on doing country acapella. But they are perfectly capable of singing in any style :-)
