Home Free - " MAYDAY " - Reaction! - WAS I READY?!

[@marshac7738]

The guys chose to sing this in its original key as sung by Cam, a female country singer. Just proves their lack of having a female in the group is no detriment--they just let their profundo BASS handle it! 🤣 LOVE the versatility of our amazingly talented fellas!! 🥰. (The addition of Chance and his lower range to the group has freed Tim up to showcase his amazing 5-octave range a lot more!) Every member of Home Free could absolutely be a solo ⭐ star ⭐ but their harmonies together are MAGIC!! ❣️🎼🥰🎶❤️ #HomeFree

[@unluckydiablo9502]

Tim: "I'm going to be a tenor today." Chance: "Yeah, I'm feeling bass."

[@tomoovehk]

Austin's voice seems 'softer' somehow in this song's chorus. It really gives a bit of vulnerability and delicateness that is complimented very well by Tim's higher register and Rob's smooth tone. Home Free will never sound the same without his emotional stunning high tenor voice, let alone someone as charismatic with such a bright personality.

[@chuckstrenge-jv4wr]

I think it would be a great idea to watch the sing off videos. But do them along with the remake side by side. You can see the growth in the group. Love your reactions to HOME FREE

[@ghstdnsr]

My second Home Free concert is tonight, can't wait for it.

[@mettesrensen6116]

Have a fantastic evening 🥳 i´m NOT jealous at all 😈😅

[@ghstdnsr]

@@mettesrensen61162 hour 40 minute drive there and 3 hours back but worth it, thanks

[@brendasorenson6186]

My 3rd in 2 days (Thurs)

[@AlisonReacts]

Was it amazing??

[@ghstdnsr]

@@AlisonReactsAm one hour home from the concert and worth the 3 hour drive, posting some on FB in the morning.

[@brendasorenson6186]

One of my favorites. Most reactors are blown away with the vocal switch-up; you were (rightly) blown away by the incredible vocals. Reacting to The Sing-Off would be good. Doing the double reactions (SO vs current versions) will really show how good HF was 10 yrs ago and how much growth and maturity they've experienced in those 10 years. On the other hand, listening to the Sing-Off's judges' comments after each performance is quite interesting.

[@darlaharrelson6487]

I also enjoyed the judges commentary,except when they said that Rob was pitch was off. I’ve went over that so many times it’s crazy. But I don’t hear 👂 it. Tbh Rob has the best voice of all of them. That man can sing anything. Thank you for such great reaction. Oh and please don’t get me wrong I love all of them. And Adam Rupp is in a class all by himself and you will see that in the sing off against another beat boxer. He just took the other guy to school. lol 😂

[@johnfowler7547]

There is SOOOOO much more Home Free to watch... For just Harmony alone, Watch Helplessly Hoping... For Something that will bring a Tear to your eyes, Watch Go Rest High on that Mountain... For Gospel, Watch How Great Thou Art... For Fun Watch Thank God I'm a Country Boy, The Butts Remix... and For Classics, Watch Take Me Home Country Roads, Ring Of Fire... I'm only scratching the top of each pile, But you could do a whole month of Home Free and not even touch the Christmas stuff

[@tada-us1rf]

I really enjoyed this reaction - made me smile knowing that someone else "gets it" the same way I do. Every time you were trying to find the words to describe how the performance made you feel I was thinking, "Yes!! Exactly!" Thanks! Looking forward to more #HomeFree

[@stevenhoth6843]

Fabulous reaction! Really enjoyed it all - thx. It is such a great song by amazing HF with the surprises of Tim so high and Chance so low and you helped re-experience the fun and joy of hearing this the 1st time. Still love it every time.

[@anitawright7169]

This is absolutely amazing! Remember Home Free don't do covers they do upgrades! Love your reaction! ♥ #HOMEFREE

[@DanMcCall-g3b]

You do really sincere reactions, thanks for posting!

[@rcinsley]

It takes time to appreciate this performance fully. The song is excellent...and a good fit for HF. Since you listened to your subs and Patrons, you already knew the guys and their voices. That makes Tim's surprise move from basso profondo to tenor exciting...and you know you're in for something very special. Then you're flooded with rich, beautiful harmonies. Adam's percussion is perfect, but good things are happening so fast that you miss the fact that Chance is carrying the bass line. HF delivers a wonderful product, but the final enjoyment comes when you listen to Cam's original ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4PVdIB7jbWdjdE ) and realize that HF performed the song in exactly the same key as Cam. (They did the same thing with "Crazy" and matched Patsy Cliine.)

[@FritsKist]

As emotions start, words stop. You have no choice in being, so a chaotic but sincere reaction.

[@daleb1279]

Our boy Chance sings the bass line through the whole song on this one besides the deep solo, Tim sings up with the tenors through the song.

[@AlisonReacts]

Oh I love that. They’re all so talented in so many ways, having switch ups like this gets to show us that they’re all so so so skilled.

[@PaulaThompson-x9w]

Definitely one of my favorites. Thanks for the Home Free reactions

[@MonicaGoodwin-qz5gd]

❤🤠#HomeFree.Amazing, Beautiful 🥰😍. Wonderful reaction ❤. 🏠🍟💯

[@patriciavernon9795]

One of the most sincere and and wonderful reactions to this song I have seen! Thank you for sharing your feelings with us. Now you know the connection to these boys that we Home Fries feel with their every note! Love these boys! ❤

[@terimingle8957]

I absolutely loved your reaction to this song! It’s one of my favorites of theirs!! ❤

[@sharonmortimer3843]

This is a song by Cam. The did an absolutely amazing job with this version of the song. Thank you for your reaction.

[@timworks991]

Love your reactions. I keep following for Home Free. This song was originally written and performed by a female country singer, Cam. They sing it in the same key that she sang it in, including Tim. I like you expressing the feelings you get from their voices as colors. As an artist and painter I can relate to that. Looking forward to your next exciting experience with Home Free. Yes do watch the Sing Off performances and their updated releases of their Sing Off performances to see where they bean and how far they have progressed. Two of my favorites would be Colder Weather and Stand By Me. I'm sure it will be exciting.

[@AlisonReacts]

Thank you! I love to see others who have very similar visceral experiences like I do. I like your idea of watching both performances together like that for comparison. I think I’ll need to have a listen to the original today, I cannot for the life of me imagine it after having heard this version so much! Their voices are just absolutely perfect. The harmonies and build are just melodically perfect. Thank you as well for your suggestions.

[@Ididnotwanttojoin]

I think it's time to give the "wait until you're ready" thing a rest. That used to make sense, but it doesn't anymore. By the time people now are deemed "ready" for this song, they have already seen "Come Go With Me" or "My Maria" or something in which Tim sings high. It used to be people would pause, like, five seconds in and flip out about Tim singing so high. Now they usually sit there smiling, enjoying the music, and waiting for whatever they needed to be "ready" for. The days of "OMG! I didn't know he could sing so high!" are over.

[@AlisonReacts]

Both songs I haven’t yet check out but My Maria is a favourite of mine so I’ll make sure I check them out

[@dagmar.6954]

Great reaction! This song is one of my favorites. So glad you waited to react to it. Your surprise at hearing the switch ups in the voices was great. Tim can sing in a beautiful higher tenor voice along with Austin & Rob. And Chance can hit the lower bass notes when needed. And Adam did a fabulous job as always with his vocal percussion. This song is sung by a woman Cam, so they sung it in a higher key to match the original.

[@I_love_cats12223]

Yes to the sing off

[@Gary-z7z]

My Church is one you should hear

[@MommaBird52]

Cargo ship rammed a bridge in Baltimore and brought down a bridge. They had lost power and was able to issue a Mayday warning to stop traffic on the bridge. Appropriate day to do Mayday!

[@TJ_in_SC]

Tell the truth … was it worth the wait ? From this reaction, I would say MOST DEFINITELY !!

[@AlisonReacts]

Oh it SO was! You are all so right, I have a good amount of appreciation and understanding of them now for this one to hit the way it did and i must say I already know all the words ☺️😅🌝✨

[@bryanmclarty5140]

Alison, I REALLY, REALLY love this song, but I think your reaction is the best of any reactor we’ve seen yet. Wow, girl! 😮

[@vickiadkins9844]

Masterpiece from the boys!! My fav!!

[@FrankDaddy-g1q]

Oh, man! I just loved your reaction, and I promise you, millions of us can relate to your feelings about this performance! YES, you seriously need to do the sing-off performances, but please, I beg you, don't do the compilation video where they are all in one, you need to listen to them individually, and with the judges comments. Some times what the judges say about our boys is just as good and important as the songs are. And do them in chronological order, please. You will love this journey!

[@vickiadkins9844]

Adam's beatboxing is incredible 😮

[@ad9aggie]

Austin and Rob: Guys we need three tenors to do this right Tim: I got you fam, Chance you have bass Chance: Cool Adam: Ba-dum-tiss

[@dmsentra]

I've watched their Mayday probably 30 times now with the various reactions and such, and I just now noticed the perfect mesh of Rob and Tim in those little bits before the end. They're fantastic together too.

[@peggygross7409]

Home Free likes to keep use on our toes. This song comes under the topic, Expect the unexpected. Also don't assume when bass is beard, Tim is singing. In this song Chance is singing bass throughout the song.

[@barbarakennedy2667]

There is absolutely nothing wrong with getting emotional if the song brings that out in you.

[@jakesmith5278]

These guys are phenomenon. That other guy, who is not Tim, surprised me with that super low note. Glad to see Tim singing higher notes too. Speaking of surprise, Gigi just release a new cover. Please come back and be surprised.

[@HannahSBax]

That other guy would be Chance

[@michaelakers8698]

You act like this is gonna be your favorite song candy girl. But that's okay I think it a favorite of a lot of people. Keep the good reactions coming and stop apologizing almost everyone rewinds this the first time they hear it.

[@markmareschal3590]

I think of sounds and voices in the same way, I always think of color.

[@glennvanzandt3011]

As a rule i don't watch when there is so much pausing. However, a cover this epic deserves one to pause and take in. Plus, your accent is so lovely to listen to.😊

[@AlisonReacts]

Thank you! This one definitely has more jumping around than the usual videos, but you can all perfectly understand why! ☺️

[@robv4936]

Great reaction

[@bobs1648]

Alison, how about doing Home Free's - Butts Remix or End of The Road (cover) next? 😁👍 If you want colors, both of these songs will deliver.

[@didgemonkey]

She's already done End of the Road...

[@itzel1735]

I like Tenor Tim almost as much as I like Bass Tim. But this is one of my favorite HomeFree covers because of the overall sound with the percussion and harmonies and emotion in the message. Have you heard Faouzia yet? Her voice is powerful and unusual. Try the live version of her recent “Fur Elise”. I’m curious to hear your reaction, even if she doesn’t appeal to you personally.

[@dpvbischoff]

I get your connection to color. I see words and sentences as colors, even letters, numbers, names and sounds. I thought that was normal, but friends and family are intrigued. Like a party trick, they will ask me to say what color "*****" is, and I tell them, but they can't comprehend why it is, and I can't explain it.

[@DeansMayhem]

I really enjoyed your reaction Alison!

[@Calisto9]

I'd suggest Helplessly Hoping, and Brothers in arms for some more amazing vocals, or the Butts remix for a good belly laugh

[@matthewgoodA1206]

There may be no other Home Free song where the guys switch it up so much. Tim went way high, Chance went way low, and then the tune just carries you away, because that’s what good music does.

[@lindareynolds8430]

Tim, Rob and Austin are singing in Cam's key. Then Chance come in to say l can sing low. Then there's Adam ,perfection.

[@miamidolphinsfan]

Chance and Tim throw everyone for a loop !!!!!

[@davidleatherneck]

Thank you. Ya, headphones are mandatory when listening to HF. The one you picked has very good audio, Rup (Beatboxer) stands out very clearly and isn't just the background in this song. He stands out. Put the voices on the back burner, in your mind, and listen to Rup, Fantastic. "Do you hear what I hear" is one that will rock your world also. Thanks.

[@RAW2881]

Yep Homefree is definitely is amazing!! Wow your only a 90s baby and into tech. Im an early 80s baby and into tech. 😉 Gotta have good headphones! I got Sony WH-1000XM4's love em!

[@davidharman8263]

First time watching you and I’m enjoying you’re reaction. It’s great to hear someone vocalise the appreciation of having to wait to react to this one. Subbed and belled. Looking forward to watching your backlist and what’s to come. (Including the Sing Off). By the way, they sang this in the same key as the original.

Don’t mind the stops to talk/react. Do mind the jumps

[@didgemonkey]

Loving your reactions to HF! but now it's time you fell into the Voiceplay rabbit hole Known as 'The Theatre Kids of Acapella', they cover everything from Disney to Metallica and so much more... I suggest you start with either Nothing Else Matters, or if you want to start with something theatrical and fun, have a look at Oogie Boogie Song from The Nightmare Before Christmas... either of which will have you wanting to see much more! 😊

[@Gary-z7z]

Think what Ring of fire would sound like with your new headphones on you should listen to some of their older ones like All about that bass or the Butts Meledy

[@williamcapp448]

Tim sang tenor for one of his previous vocal groups. Chance sand bass for his previous vocal group.

[@jackiestone3468]

Great reaction, I had to rewind a lot to :) please react to When A Man Loves A Woman, by Home Free! It will blow you away, for sure😊 I love Home Free❤ Thanks!!

[@GeraldPage-e7u]

Love your reactions and I am a huge fan of Home Free! Now...PLEASE give VoicePlay a go. They do everything from Disney to Metallica and they are AMAZING! Fair warning, though. Prepare yourself for their bass singer, Geoff Castellucci. He and Tim are friends, but Geoff is even lower. His range is A0-A5, so seriously, get ready. Valhalla Calling Me and Nothing Else Matters are my favorites. Also, check out Geoff's solo channel and his cover of Folsom Prison Blues. Think Johnny Cash, but a full Octave lower on the low notes.

[@thewrenchreviews9986]

Austin and Rob do an incredible operatic cover of Nessun Dorma. Be amazed.

[@johnnyhickman693]

Cam sang this originally. Her version is great too.

[@johnblack6873]

G'day, Alison. Sending affection from Florida, USA. Allow me to react to your reaction. I think of all the people doing reactions, you are one of the most "female" (huge compliment). Your reactions are usually less linear than a man's would be, as in this one where you paused and backtracked so often. You allow your emotions free rein more than the typical man, or even many women, and you are so empathic you could hear the colors they were singing! You also don't need subtitles to feel exactly the message the singer is trying to convey in a foreign language. I could tell you appreciate good harmony, so I am recommending a Korean men's quartet named Forestella. You should start with Nella Fantasia, in my opinion. Here's the link. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5fPm5mCmMxpoKM

[@AlisonReacts]

John! Thank you! I truly appreciate your feedback. I definitely won’t let a lack of lyrics or subtitles or translation stop me appreciating the music. In a sense I feel like it gives me the chance to explore the music and search for the meaning and feelings without having the clue of the lyrics of that makes sense? I’m just so taken by each aspect. I feel so lucky to be able to experience music in the way I do (realising how unique my experiences are) - but I if I can that, even if my explanation is a little left of field, I’ll try my darnedest! Thank you so much for taking to time to comment, and thank you for a direct link! Sending all my best from Queensland to Florida, one humid state to the next! Happy Easter!

Sorry, it those nose rings do not make you look better. That one in the front has a name. It’s called a HOG RING. Google that. It is for hogs, cattle and in your country, buffalo. It is meant for livestock. So women having one are telling those who know what that is, that they want to be a farm animal.

[@AlisonReacts]

Yeaaah not really hey. I guess my tattoos are my branding then 😂 I mean humans have had piercings and facial piercings for about 12,000 years - so I’d say a few thousand years longer than the hog ring, haha In many cultures it represents adulthood, connection/communication to the divine or one’s higher self - I got my facial piercings in India when I was there for several months - and was told the cultural specifics of each of them - and most people I know have asked me after a few years of knowing me if I recently had the septum done because it’s generally pretty unnoticeable to people I know. So I guess if you’re LOOKING for it on people as a hog ring you’ll find it. I always thought I should get a little bell, like a cow :) - good thing I don’t take myself too seriously I guess 🤷🏻‍♀️☺️
