Home Free - Nessun Dorma - Reaction - CALLING ALL SUBSCRIBERS!!!

[@marieball8441]

What gets me the most about this is that while these two men are capable of bringing someone to tears with their performance in the operatic style, they CHOOSE to sing acapella together. Any of them could have a solo career singing in the style they prefer, but they CHOOSE to be together. We as fans are truly blessed.

[@minneyruth]

🥰🥰

[@terrichristenson432]

So true, we are blessed that they choose to sing for us !!

[@sandyleewhite]

*I literally melted into a pool of goo when I heard our Home Free Boys sing this!!!* 😍😍😍

[@DarrellFanning-bx7xz]

Anyone who cannot appreciate the beauty in this performance seriously need to reexamine their heart

[@VJ_9014]

Just goes to show.... You can't judge a book by it's cover. Just because they focus on country, doesn't mean they can't sing anything they want. The training and talent in this group is immense!

[@georgefisher1995]

So glad to find someone that claims not to like a type of music (country, folk, bluegrass, opera), yet be objective enough to make a lier of himself, and be able to gush over a purely beautiful performance. (P.S. - - loved the subtle video touch at the beginning as Austin leaves his cowboy hat behind, hanging off the pew.)

[@richb313]

This is Austin's way of highlighting Rob's talent.

[@cheryljohnson733]

Amazing!! They can sing any genre.

[@TaraWilson1010]

I love this, and understand why all of the guys in Home Free have always said that Rob is the best singer in the group. 💙💙

[@donnelson7797]

I don’t care what genre of music you prefer, you just gotta give them respect. Their voices are so good and they show this. Everyone should just be able to appreciate this.

[@darlaharrelson6487]

I nearly fell out of bed when I heard this. Lol it’s beautiful. Thank you for sharing your reaction with us.

[@vickihandel3620]

Rob and Austin are so spot on with their diction and abilities to control their tonality and share the emotions with the listeners

[@chrismorin1318]

This is just one instance that goes to prove you should never judge a book by its cover. Or a singer by his supposed "genre"! I know that Rob and Austin were nervous about this release and how it would be received. I'd have to say that from all the reactors I've watched, and the comment sections, that it's been a resounding success! I'm not into opera, but even I can appreciate the very specific skill set that opera singers train very hard to achieve. And this has only become more beautiful the more I've heard it. Great reaction! I hope you'll let us know what your Mom thought of it. ❤

[@annlatham2062]

Just fabulous musicians showcasing their talents with a magnificent song. Incredible!!!! Beautiful!!!!!

[@lindamorrison9755]

Love Home Free and the fact that they, while together, feel free to pursue solo music, Please listen to and comment on Tim Foust, Will you still love me tomorrow / Stay A cappella with Tim singing all the parts himself. It will blow your mind.

[@margrethemartinez4857]

Amazing. My jaw just dropped, Austin is good but Rob's voice sounded incredible in this.

[@ppresley9208]

Home Free makes their magic again ... BRAVO Rob and Austin !!!!!

[@changlyn100]

They are so versatile and talented. Rob is classically trained in Opera. We are blessed to have Home Free. Each member is exceptional in many areas.

[@Princess_karen]

I cry every time I hear them sing this

[@dawnmanzetti1633]

Just WOW 🤩 If this doesn’t touch your soul 🎶❤️👏

[@teresacartwright5406]

There is a dialogue at the end of Austin Brown's cover of "Ain't No Sunshine" that I think you'd really like to listen to. Thank you again for playing this!

[@beckiramsey9561]

This is mouth open, chin drop to the floor moment when you first see it! I was back to, ‘is it live or is it memorex?’ ! 😮 Seriously, I wondered if they were lip syncing! They are all so amazing!🔥🔥 Every reactor has had the same reaction, glad you enjoyed reacting for us!!👏👏👏

[@belinda9696]

I know right? I'm a long-time Home Fry, and I was still like WHAT?? 😮 They never fail to impress.

[@marciaramirez3791]

Have listened to this more than 20 times and it still leaves me breathless and teary. Wonderful reaction, thank you so much, have been waiting with bated breath to see your reaction. Blessings always.

[@debbiehall9091]

Our boys outdid themselves. Rob's voice so rich and warm. Amazing 💗

[@jillchamberlain6478]

Rob trained in opera in college, but hasn’t sung it in 15 years. Austin majored in musical theater, but did some opera as well. This was Austin’s brainchild. They wanted to do it, but were very nervous as well (hence the title of the video) and did not want to raise expectations too much. But they nailed it, as always!!

[@vickiadkins9844]

Watched it a million times!! Stunning!!

[@joeurbach9097]

I loved this! So it turns out that Rob studied opera in college and Austin is classically trained so I expected their performance to be as good as any Home Free song always is - but not this good! I thought it was beautiful, wonderful, and incredible!

[@takingtimewithtricia]

This is so incredibly beautiful. They do a fabulous job, their voices are so beautiful together. Thank you for your reaction. I agree, I wish people would stop long enough to hear this. Incidentally, Dan Vasc sings this amazingly as well.

[@denise_landry]

Thanks Chris! Austin and Rob did a fantastic job on this cover. Rob studied opera in his college years, but had not performed it in 15 years. Austin studied musical theater in college. This was Austin's idea - he had to talk Rob into it. Both of them were so nervous in the premiere chat for this video. They were so afraid we weren't going to like it. Boy, were they wrong! Now if we could just get the whole group to do an opera piece - THAT would be special. I'd pay big money to hear/see that. 🖤🍟

[@dianadickerson749]

Standing o needed right?

[@janhankins911]

Yes, I'm hoping they'll get the whole group involved! I'm voting that they work with Diana Damrau and do the Queen of the Knight Opera. I think Diana Damrau would get a kick out of it and I think her singing the aria and Home Free being the "orchestra" would be thrilling to listen to.

[@dianadickerson749]

@@janhankins911 per Austin and Rob, NO. Austin did say he faked it pretty good though.

[@loucatozzi7656]

I love to look of relief on Austin's face as he finishs!

[@janbow5124]

Your face was a picture. I always knew that Rob could sing and I do mean SING but this is out of this world. I love it. They are all just perfect.

[@DaveSquibbSr]

Like a lot of people I'm not really into opera but you have to appreciate the talent and the work that it takes. Massive respect!

[@Tessie46255]

Aren’t these guys wonderful? Just the courage it took to put themselves out there singing OPERA!

[@cmitchell7347]

Enjoyed your reaction, Chris! A number of reactors anticipated some typical Home Free shenanigans (like their 'Butts Medley' video) or that it would be lipsync'd. Took a bit of encouragement from Austin to get Rob on board being he'd not done opera in 15 years. While not completely shocked by Rob, am very impressed by how comfortably he stepped back into this role after so long showing us just how much more he's capable of. Also, pleasantly surprised by Austin. Applaud them both for doing something different and hopefully taking the overwhelmingly positive response to this to do even more. As you intimated, this potentially introduces more (existing and new) fans to their work, individually and collectively, as Home Free. Always appreciate when the guys leave us amazed.

[@childcrone]

I'm sure they were really singing for the video, but the audio was a separate recording. The match of performance and of expression is SO good, though. I LOVE this one.

[@vivianmorris6562]

Totally stunned silence from me. Magnificent ! XX

[@barbarakennedy2667]

I very much want to hear Rob sing Ave Maria now. It would be great for Christmas.

[@victorcowboywest]

The face of surprise, enjoyment and amazement so far not a let down, I love your reaction. Both gents were nervous about how well this would go over with their fans and so with this,they are making fans smile with total enjoyment and are looking for more.

[@ReynaldoVelasquez]

Bring it on! Let’s check it out!

[@lindabriggs5118]

Every time I listen to Rob and Austin sing this aria it still gives me goosebumps.

[@nancypriddy4382]

Always love your reactions. I love Home Free and have been to 7 of their concerts, which are amazing. You haven't done a reaction to Dimash recently. He has released a new video in English called " The Story of One Sky". It was released 1 month ago and already has 1.7 million views. He composed the music and he was the director. It is reported to be the most money ever spent on a music video, 7 million. Would love to see you react to it.

[@ryanellsworth7246]

As always, well done! Such a great reaction to these boys putting themselves out of their comfort zones. Rob... uh... WOW!?!?!?! Now that's classical opera. Austin well done crossover style. Great crescendos, nice impromptu harmony, excellent ending.

[@kristindunstan172]

This is from Austin's solo channel. He often does his solo work with piano or guitar and he apparently talked Rob into doing this one with him. I love how he includes his bandmates on his solo channel and lets them shine! He did the same for Tim with My Maria.

[@minneyruth]

My Maria is one of my favorite AusTim duo's lol

[@carolinasbeauty]

I have loved this song for many decades and always went to Pavarotti or Lanza for the best performances, however...when I heard Rob Lundquist, my jaw fell to the floor and my tears started. Rob sounds like an opera singer and (NOT a jab), Austin sings opera. I absolutely, honestly LOVED this (even after listening to it over 100 times already.) All the Home Free guys are extremely talented - each in their own way. I did get to see them in concert this past February and even coming back from the pandemic closure, they sounded as good live as they do on their recorded releases. Bravo, sirs! I'm ready to listen to them tackle "Ave Maria!" Please all subs - listen to and like the song that's posted on Austin Brown's channel to support the (successful) effort and their friendship. A big thank you (and props for being totally unselfish) to Austin for "persuading" Rob to sing this with him! And thanks Chris for your enthusiasm, appreciation and excitement. I got the impression you didn't doubt that they could pull this off?! I know you're more of a PTX fan, but man, you have to appreciate this wonderful rendition of a classic Aria! (Turandot / Puccini) p.s. For those who would like to hear Luciano Pavarotti sing this aria, this is his best performance (IMHO): kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5DLfZtqpqikpsk

[@robertmorris5055]

You nailed it! Regardless of what music genre you like, this is unquestionably beautiful. Hats off to these talented young men.

[@joanwharff6483]

Just Love those 2 Country Boys❤️🎶❤️🎵❤️🎶❤️

[@JohnBare747]

Not Country Singers, SINGERS! These guys can sing anything they put the effort into.

[@JoanN63]

This is really insane. It is so extremely good. Fantastic. Wow is that what I said when i heard it too. Both are doing great. But Rob, I'm perplexed!!! His voice is just magical, so rich, so warm and powerful. Chills just ran through my body. It flows into my heart. For me he will be able to stand with the greatest of opera singers. It's not often that I listen to songs by opera singers 5 times and more in a row. But here it is. Of course I hope that both will always continue to do Home Free, but I wouldn't think it wrong that such "trips" are made more often. Opera, country, ballads, soul etc. I think anything is possible. Even if you don't like opera, you have to like it.

[@janewestpoldskrvseth]

Hello from Norway, this song is just AWSOME and thanks for react to to guys 💞💞💞💞They nailed it ,love from Norway ❤❤❤❤

[@louisetemples7011]

BRAVO!!!! Hey Larry! I was waiting anxiously for you to see this. I knew that you didn't care for opera so I was a tad nervous. Thank you so much for reacting to our beloved tenor's. I've heard this probably close to a hundred times and I still become emotional and tear up. I think they did a wonderful job with this. Rob studied opera in college but hadn't performed in 15 years. Austin studied classical music theatre performance in college. Austin approached Rob with the idea and had to convince him to do it. They both were nervous in the live premiere thinking they wouldn't be accepted. Needless to say they had nothing to worry about! I'm so very proud of them! It took a lot of bravery to attempt opera. I'm so glad that you enjoyed it and appreciate your respect. You are so right that even if someone doesn't prefer opera it is easy to see that Austin and Rob were amazing. I've always admired that you gave our guy's a fair shot and have even became a fan of Home Free, although be it a bit reluctantly in the beginning. I appreciate you Larry! God bless you and sending love from South Georgia!♥️😃🍟

[@larryshair]

Thanks so much!

[@carinalindberg7377]

Oh my goodness, I have been so swept in by this that it hadn't even occurred to me that I want to hear this as a full-on Home Free 5-part acapella arrangement. At the same time I'm so grateful they haven't done this as a group because, man, I don't know how my systems would process it. They could barely process this to begin with. I literally froze with my jaw dropped, goosebumps all over, and tears in my eyes for at least a minute after it ended after my first listen, and it took several more minutes to close said jaw and for the tears to run down the cheeks and the goosebumps to disappear. Thanks for the reaction!

[@dagmar.6954]

Great Reaction! I have never been a fan of opera except maybe some Andrea Bocelli & a few others. But I have always appreciated the talent it takes to sing opera. I was pretty impressed with Rob & Austin's version of Nessun Dorma. I have heard this famous song done by Pavarotti. I think I was more surprised by Rob's range & powerful delivery than even Austin's. Pretty good for a couple of country boys! Nice to see them dressed up in suits & looking classy.

[@suzetteemberton4368]

Rob sounds like a trained opera singer - his tone is so rich and warm..the type of gorgeous dramatic sound the aria was written for. Austin sang the song very successfully, but you can tell Rob is the opera singer. These two guys did an outstanding job on a hard aria - love it!!

[@vickyburton2434]

In my humble opinion, if you have classical voice training, you can sing any genre. Only really talented people can handle their voice like this!

[@maryhumphrey3002]

I love it when all the teachers go speechless. You tickle me. I don't care how many times I lesson to tbis, it just keeps getting better and better. MORE, MORE, MORE.

[@Cat-fi4ie]

Hey Chris 👋, I too am not a fan of opera but I really enjoyed Rob and Austin version. It took a few moments to except that it was really Rob singing. Austin did amazing as well but you can tell his voice. I have since listening to Home Free been exposed to many genres of music that I wouldn't have ever heard before. And I'm loving it all. Please Chris 🙏 check out MAYDAY. you will here the bass singer Tim do some amazing things plus others.. Very much enjoyed your reaction!!!

[@mindyhammons-bristow]

I have never heard this until right now. I'm absolutely blown away. I like some opera, and i heard a lot of Pavarotti as a child because my grandpa loved him. This is just, wow. I got chills to the point I had to grab a blanket. I'd never expect this from them. Holy cow. ❤

[@larryshair]

Right??

[@mindyhammons-bristow]

@@larryshair oh yeah. I'm super impressed.

[@aleenwalker7371]

I loved your reaction so much. I had a little trepidation before I watched this video for the first time, but I shouldn't have worried. My mom listened to opera and, of course, her favorite singer was Pavarotti. I have never sung opera before, but Rob and Austin did so well, it makes me want to give it a try. Is there ANY type of music that the guys of Home Free can't knock out of the park????

Thank you for reacting to this! Absolutely stunning.

[@karinfichtner7479]

I don't think it's at all fair. They got all the talent, and I didn't get none!! There is simply nothing they can't excel at. Rob said he sang it to his dad on his birthday, and his dad was in tears.

I was in tears. Pavarotti would of loved this

Beautifully done! I don't think I've ever heard Nessun Dormer done as a duet before - it really works! (Might have heard it by 'The Three Tenors' though!) Superb rendition! ❤

[@babyfry4775]

I thought I was going to be rickrolled and then this happened. They were so good. I mean we know they can sing but opera??!! Rob (glasses) studied opera in college but that was years ago. Austin studied musical theater. Apparently, they talked about doing it and Austin had to talk Rob into it. Are they opera singers…no, but goodness they were commendable. Loved your reaction!🥰

[@sandrastorer5628]

I was hoping you'd get around to this one. I was absolutely gobsmacked and teary-eyed too. These guys bring the sauce no matter what they do. Don't know if you've reviewed their new cover of Doobie Bros.' Listen to the Music. A feel good one for sure!

[@KazyReed]

It was so much fun watching your facial expressions morph from skeptical to stunned to ecstatic back to stunned until there was utter disbelief.

[@mrstlu4838]

It’s fun to see you being tripped up by these two (and HF in general) - no wonder their fans have such a deep love for them! I have a fair few opera albums, and a LOT of famous duets ones (different artist), and I absolutely LOVE this duet!!! Rob’s voice is gorgeous. Hope your mom fell in love, too! Greetings from a Home Fry and an Angel 😇

[@JaimeDornanLady]

Aren’t you glad you did this one? I’m not crazy about opera, but I do like some of it. Austin also does “Bring Him Home”, which is soooo beautiful! These guys are just simply the best!

What a fabulous reaction. These boys can sing pretty much anything. I agree with your wish that people try different types of music. I just dipped my toe into Nightwish, for which I feel like I'm several generations too old, but I kinda liked it. Probably not going on my playlist, but it was interesting to my percussion loving heart. You never know until you try.

[@andrewbmills637]

Awesome! Brother, you know me... I'm not here for your peanut m&m reactions... I'm here for all your entertaining ARTIST reactions. These boys surprised me and did an awesome job! Didn't only remind me of Pavarotti, but the Three Tenors. The 2nd gentleman doesn't stack up to Pavarotti... much more like the accompaniment... Carreras... Domingo... NOT AN INSULT... just a tenor voice. These boys sound amazing! Nice reaction vid. God bless.

[@r.d.stratford106]

So beautifully reacted-to! I got a bit teary myself, there.

[@janhankins911]

You're right! This is just way too short! I wanted more. I'm so glad they did this. It's getting so much attention and so many people are now hearing opera that have never heard it before and appreciating such beautiful music. BTW, Rob has classical training in opera (and likely could have had a very successful career in opera had he chosen to purse that path). Austin has had no classical training.

[@beadwright]

The generosity amongst artists to corroborate for each other. And I do mean for, not with. Caring enough for a friend. I’m sure you don’t do this without having each other’s “back”, with trust out of the comfort zone. The outcome is stunning. Good one to do. I give Eminem a listen from you on occasion. I am glad you have not gone exclusively with the volume viewers. Yes! Broaden your horizons! Hey, back in the day when you started I wrote in eh to opera. Well, here I go. I enjoyed it.

Great reaction. I love when music can reduce someone to tears. I couldn’t wait to see this version by Rob and Austin when I first heard about it, and they didn’t disappoint. Rob’s voice is just astonishing…so deep, and rich and full…and while Austin doesn’t quite have the same fullness to his voice, he was still excellent and their voices complimented each other really well. I hope your mum enjoyed this one, Chris 😊

[@wirelessmikedj7784]

James Brown and Pavarotti did a live version of "It's a Mans World" which is fantastic as well...however the beauty of this is that it brings exposure of Opera to a whole new collection of people that might otherwise not listen to it. Kind of Home Free bringing Country to those that may not normally listen to Country. Rob has training in Opera in College, and you can tell, and Austin is trained in Theatrical performance, but also had to sing some Opera in college. Rob is singing much more in classical operatic style while Austin would be considered more of a crossover singer.

[@sgfx]

WOW- Nessun Dorma and Sea Shanties from the same voice!

[@gaylec258]
