Finnish Vocal Coach Reacts: Home Free "Ring of fire" (SUBS) // Äänikoutsi reagoi

Thanks for the reaction and your time.

This Ring of Fire cover song from Home Free as great tribute to the all times legend Johnny Cash. From his country and western seat in heaven he looks down to earth watching this beautiful a capella performance and only saying the words "it's ok folks". Moi moi Anna, again a great choice from you .....

[@dalepettiner5036]

They have no bad songs, but you might enjoy "Man of Constant Sorrow", "In the Blood", and "Brothers in Arms".

[@steveeverett1736]

I would also include End of the Road , the Boyz II Men song, which shows off Robs voice (the other Tenor)

Hello Anna. I am glad that you will be reacting to Home Free. A truly amazing A Capella group. I predict you will soon become a 'Home Fry'.

[@dagmar.6954]

You can see how talented they were already back then. Hard to believe they have only gotten better. Tim Foust is a true bass who sounds natural going low. It does not look like it takes any effort. And Adam Rupp's beatboxing is stellar as always. And love how humble the guys are & supportive of each other. No divas in this group.

[@DougRayPhillips]

Home Free has been around since 2000. But they hit it big after winning Season 4 (2013) of The Sing-off, which this vid is from. Each week, they only had a short time to pick a song, arrange and practice it. Here, they chose a well-known Johnny Cash song and gave it a new spin. Voiceplay competed on The Sing-Off that same season, and finished 5th or 6th. The two groups have always been friends. Tim Foust, the Home Free bass, taught Geoff Castellucci a lot of his singing-low techniques. The last note Tim hits in this vid is an F#1. Home Free's only personnel change since 2013 was that founder Chris Rupp left and was replaced at baritone by Adam Chance.

[@invinciblefeelings1439]

Loved your reaction 😃Thank you so much for this reaction video 😊

[@davidculp6266]

They're such a fun group. Tim Foust, the bass, has just released an album of doo-wop songs in which he sings all the parts including the high falsettos.

[@timothybuell3314]

I enjoyed your reaction. Thank you for the sub-titles. It was very easy to follow you as you switched between Finnish and English. For me, nothing was lost there. I will point out that while this group had been locally touring for a while, they were still very early in this formation, and were still very early in their transition to a Country style, having been more pop/rock oriented before this.

[@annavaskelainen]

I'm happy to know you appreciated the subs. 😊 I'll choose a more recent video from them next time to get a better understanding over their style!

[@WearingTheArmor]

Tim Foust, singing bass, has over 5 octave range. Austin Brown, high tenor, has a strong background in musical theatre. They cover a LOT more genre than Country and have a number of amazing originals and all have solo performances.

[@oneknight55]

Home Free has an extensive KZbin video catalog. I hope you revisit Home Free. 😁

Enjoyed your reaction Anna ! Even though I'm not a great Home Free fan ! I certainly realize their talent ! I think Johnny Cash fans can relate to this wonderful a capella musical group ! ! Your reaction was well thought through and was genuinely agreeable ! The cowboy hat was a nice touch ! They are a well known group for their tenor ,baritone and bass lower tone voices ! I personally enjoy the sounds Pentatonix, VoicePlay and Voctave ! Thank you Anna as always for reacting on so many different artists ! Take care sweetheart ! 🤗👍🇨🇦❤️❤️

Mahtavaa ja tarkkakorvaista kommentointia, kuten niin monesti ennenkin. Keep up the good work! Tästä tuli heti mieleeni kolme asiaa joihin olisi mukavaa nähdä reaktiosi ja analyysisi: 1. Tämän samaisen pumpun basistin Tim Foust Vocal Range -video on jännää nähtävää (ja tietysti kuultavaa) 2. Beatboxerista assosioin heti monitaituri D-low, tsekkaa Winner's compilation SBX Kickback battle 2021 (hämmentävää minkälaisia ääniä ihminen pystyy tuottamaan) 3. Brian Justin Crumin ameriikan talentissa vetäisemä versio Radioheadin biisistä Creep (en oikeastaan tiedä miten tämä Home Freestä mieleen tuli mutta ei kahta ilman kolmatta)

Your correct in saying they found their niche. The beatboxer is phenomenal. They do sing in many genres as well, very versatile group with humor added to their live shows. Thank you for sharing the correct pronunciation of your surname. I hear this name often in the Nation Hockey League now and back to the early 2000s. Quite a few 🇫🇮 players playing in America and Canada. Looking forward to watching the Olympic Hockey games next week. Thank you Anna as always, to you and yours have a great weekend.

[@joelbolden8457]

Tim Foust has an amazing range. He and Peter Hollens do great harmony on "Greensleeves" and "Sunshine on my shoulder". " Misty Mountain" is also a great collaboration between the two. When it comes to him singing with Home Free, Brothers in Arms is great an newer. For a really great collaboration, also, you might check out Home Free and The Oak Ridge Boys singing the classic " Elvira". Some amazing beatboxing in that. I only had a chance to spend 4 days in Helsinki many years ago, but I still remember the beauty of your country, and the warmth of the people.

Checker shirt, a black cowboy hat, and a Johnny Cash song, (I see a theme there - only missing a horse) performed by a great a capella group! Looking forward to your reaction, Anna! P.S. I did notice the earrings too.

My great grandmother was born to parents that immigrated from Denmark. Her name was Anna too. I miss her.

[@kylesummers1565]

Lol, listening to you reminds me of talking to my maternal grandmother when she got older. She came to the US during WW1. She would slip into German at times, which didn't bother me much (I studied it in college, because of her), but she would also slip into northern France (French) and whatever other culture was current at the time. She was the sweetest person I have ever met. Genetically I am mostly western/northern European, but I am forever fascinated by the northern European that is the other bulk of my ancestry. By the way, I am a Mutt. Have a little bit of everything. Peace, Love!

Yay! Love your videos and I am so happy you are getting into this song! I kinda prefer the version feat. Avi Kaplan from Pentatonix though. Austin (the beautiful bright tenor) has a fantastic little tiny hook at the start of his first verse, Tim (the bass) is just sublime like always but has even better vocal lines and delivery, and Avi brings a level of smoothness that fills the song arrangement so well. Do check it out if the mood strikes you.

[@babyfry4775]

This is when they were on the Sing Off. They won it in 2013. They are a tremendous group. They are known for their harmonies. Tim Foust, the bass, has a 5 octave range. So he can sing super low and sing up in the tenor range. They are country but sing all genres and sing them well. Try Helplessly Hoping, Country Roads, Die a Happy Man, Brothers in Arms to hear more beautiful harmonies. Good reaction and analysis Anna!

[@michaelwansten399]

awesome

[@marek3707]

Welcome back Anna! It was interesting to hear how you pronounce your surname, because you pronounce it exactly the way I imagined it. As I told you I don't speak Finnish, but when I was in Finland I noticed that Finns very often speak the same way as they write. I don't know if that's always the case, but it's very obvious to me because that's exactly how it is in my native Polish. It seems very natural to me and much simpler, much more so than for example in English where we speak differently than we write. And by the way - on each of your films it is impossible not to notice how beautiful woman you are! But when I saw you today in your hat and shirt, I can only say one thing - wow! And repeat - wow, wow, wow! Warm greetings to you from Poland, beautiful Anna! I don't always write when I watch your video, but know that these videos are always a pleasure for me - so see you in the next one!

[@annavaskelainen]

You must have a good ear for languages Marek! 😂 Most ppl would argue that my surname is hard to pronounce. Thank you for your kind words. 😊 (Pssst I have a secret: I am a real country girl!) Hope to see you around in the comment section in the future too! xx

[@kristindunstan172]

[@brendasorenson6186]

I enjoyed your analysis and reaction. I will recommend Brothers in Arms by Home Free. It was originally written by the British group Dire Straits. The arrangement was done by the bass singer of the Finnish a capella group Club For Five. (I listened to Club For Five sing it, and their bass singer is phenomenal! )

[@johntucker4296]

Thanks for the reply. Home Free asked and received the musical score from Club for Five for the Dire Straits/Knofler song Brothers In Arms. I'm hoping you will compare the two versions side-by-side in a reaction. I think that the more this is done that more and more great artists around the world will be exposed to music fans around the world.

[@DyvmSlorm]

Anna, suggestions here are spot on. Other Home Free suggestions would be Helplessly Hoping, a cover of a Crosby (no relation) Stills and Nash song. Also Working for a Living is fun and introduces the current members. Some of their more recent videos include live performances but there are a bunch of phone recorded videos of them live (along with some of the between song antics). The beat boxer (vocal percussionist) also has a solo at their concerts that have been recorded (there is one that gets most of the views but it is a few years old and his newer ones show his growth from amazing to unreal). As for other "extreme" vocals, both Tim Foust (HF's bass) and Geoff Castelucci (the bass from Voiceplay) have solo works that are amazing. The subharmonics Geoff pulls off are stunning and, I believe, are related to the growls Tatiana from Jinjer does. I'd also suggest looking into Slaughter to Prevail (Demolisher is a good intro) and their lead vocalist Alex Terrible. He covers a bunch of songs with his extreme vocals as well (Like Astronaut in the Ocean). Love your breakdowns AND they make me feel like I'm keeping my mind sharp since I have to read

[@DyvmSlorm]

thank you for your support MarLa! 😊😊😊

Highly recommend that you and your musical earrings react to Home Free doing Man Of Constant Sorrow. It will give you a better idea of their capabilities.

[@annavaskelainen]

😂 LOVE THIS COMMENT. I'll add your vote to "Man of constant sorrow!", yes

Congrats on 20k! Big request for Dan McCabe once again

[@annavaskelainen]

Thank you! ❤️

I agree with your overall comments. I think nerves definitely played a part in the pitch issues. This was when the group was still really young/new. There is more beauty in their more recent performances/videos and a depth of growth that puts them above their peers in my eyes. An intersting connection for you, as you are familiar with Voctave. Many of tge Voctave performers are from Voices of Liberty at Disney. Austin Brown, the tenor soloist from this performance, also used to sing with many of the Voctave group as part of Voices of Liberty. Please look into more Home Free.

new sub here... it's funny that you started off with Country Roads... They did a cover of that , I hope you check it out.. it's GREAT!!

Welcome to the gang, Kathy, glad to have you with me! 😊❤️ Ohh they did! I have to see that now! xx

Now it's time to react to Home Free "Man of Constant Sorrow", "Thinking out Loud/Let's get it On", "When a Man loves a Woman", "Mayday" and "Brothers in Arms". Brothers in Arms is the song of a dying soldier.

I think I found a reaction channel for life. 😊

Anna home free has another video of ring of fire with a bonfire. That performance surpasses this performance. A must see.

[@annebiebrich9155]

Must hear you react to Homefree's song "Mayday "

[@sanfordikeda1471]

Thank you for reacting & analyzing Home Free! They are good here and I think have only gotten better in the ensuing several years. One of their more-recent masterpieces is "Man of Constant Sorrow," which you may want to check out some time. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5bakJWce9ulpdU

[@duaneedwards4189]

I love your reactions. What a fun group. Please check out Austin Brown singing " Bring him home"

[@sherryarflin726]

Well that’s really good because they are hands down better than any of the other a cappella groups at this time. Oh no, this is the wrong one to react to. You need to see the Video ft. Avi Kaplan.

[@kentonlaws]

I mis-responded - Man of constant Sorrow - it would be a classic review by you!

[@GoinDownhill361]

Your facial expressions when Tim Foust hit that final note lol
