HOME FREE REACTION | CRAZY | LEONARDO TORRES REACTS

[@joywright8794]

My Dad really liked Patsy Cline so from the time I was a new being I grew up on her songs. Crazy was one that I remember most and was one I sang for Pops many times when he was at his end of life. So when I say it is special to me, it really is special. The first time I heard Home Free sing this song there were tears in my eyes by the end of it. Even now I get misty eyed. They really captured the pathos that was Patsy's trademark style and all the nostalgia was right there to surround me. HF never seems to fail in doing justice to their covers. Seeing your enjoyment of their efforts adds the joy of shared experience to the mix. Happiness is always better when it is shared.

Hey Leonardo ! I think Miss Patsy would have approved of their cover....Austin has the perfect voice and those harmonies - delicious !!!

[@louisetemples7011]

Absolutely Beautiful! Sang in the original key as Patsy sang it! Stellar performance! ♥️😃🍟🔥

[@bernieregnier4500]

Home Free is sensational!!! ❣

[@kmwwrench]

I had the same reaction as you did when I first saw that they did this. It's my favorite Patsy Cline song and I hadn't seen a lot of Home Free at the time. What if they ruined it for me? Ha! And Ha! again. I am totally with you on Adam's brushes. Sooooo good. A great, and very respectful, cover of an iconic song.

[@dagmar.6954]

Such a beautiful cover of this classic song. I listened to Patsy Cline growing up. Loved her voice & the emotion she conveyed in her songs. I think Home Free nailed it & did a beautiful tribute to her.

[@rllangevin3841]

Loved watching the joy come over you as you listened/reacted to this wonderful cover by Home Free. They draw you in no matter the genre and there are SO many to choose from. I think you'd love their cover of Workin' for a Livin' (Huey Lewis & The News) where Adam brings out the no-monica again for another spin. It's a really fun video and throwback to the 80's. Another MUST is the John Denver classic, Take Me Home Country Roads - they spent 5 years working on the arrangement until they felt they'd done it justice! I'd love to see you react to some of their originals as well, there are many. I'd suggest these 3 (in this order) from their Dive Bar Saints album (all but 2 originals), if you're paying attention you'll see a thread from one to the next: Catch Me If You Can Dive Bar Saints Leave This Town

Adam is an actual drummer and trumpet player. Out of necessity he learned to beat box and is now a 2 time world beatbox champion as well as the best the is in acapella music.

[@lindanearing4710]

I get dizzy listening to this song because I hold my breath in anticipation for each magical musical moment. They literally take my breath away. This is one of their songs where I tear up from the sheer joy of hearing them. The talent is almost supernatural amongst these 5 guys. Each of them had crucial roles to play and each of them filled their role to perfection. The secret to their unique sound in my opinion is that they have no egos in the group. They each get to shine at some point in time and they serve the music instead of trying to make the music serve them. Adam's musical intuitions are spot on with the percussion. He never over does and he knows exactly what will sound best for any given song. With his level of skill, it would be very easy for him to "show off" just because he can, but he never does. Thanks for a great reaction.

[@brendasorenson6186]

Adam is an alien 👽 ! Not only was his sounds were perfect, he had the beat of the time period! (If that makes sense!) And Austin's voice! Also perfect!

[@anitawright7169]

Austin is so awesome! Adam the beat boxer is always excellent. The background harmonies are so very awesome! Tim's bass is impeccable. Love your reaction.

[@bryanmclarty5140]

The more I listen to this song, the more I LOVE it. It’s just soooo classic and we’ll done. I’ve requested HF over on their Patreon that they consider TRUE LOVE WAYS by one of my favorites, Buddy Holly. Only if! We’ll see. Love that you’ve become a home fry, my man!

[@nancyholter5646]

I love how the final chord surprised you. I think it is fantastic that HF is brave enough to take on some absolute classics - no matter the genre. But then, they have proven time and again that they CAN do them and ado theme well.

[@marciaramirez3791]

Really enjoyed your reaction and the insight you gave us on the intricacies involved in producing the amazing harmonies Home Free performs. Joyful. Would love to see your reaction to Home Free's rendition of "How Great Thou Art". They filmed the video in the Austrian Alps near the church that was featured in the movie "The Sound of Music". For me it was the absolute best rendition of this song I've ever heard. Thank you.

[@Loulizabeth]

He's already responded to their "How Great Thou Art" rendition a little while ago. So you don't have to wait to hear it you can go and simply check it out.

[@charleneclaassen]

I love this song as sung by Patsy. Now HF has given me a second beautiful version to listen to. I love Austin's lead, the percussion, beautiful harmonies and the old school b&w video. Our boys look really good in black tie. Thanks for doing this one.

[@reginaminton1135]

The song was done so beautifully. Austin taking the lead and sounding amazing. Adam and the percussion...as always great. Tim, Rob and Chance are absolutely wonderful. Thanks for a great reaction.

[@fpresley]

Another props to Home Free is their videos. Simple, tasteful and never over done.

[@judithboggs2196]

This was my mother's favorite song, hearing it as she did when it was first sung. She was also a friend of Patsy Cline's so it meant even more to her. She never talked much about her except to say how beautiful she was and how admired for her vocal qualities. She would not listen to the recordings later in life because she remembered how she died and how sad and lonely it made her. Home Free came as close as anyone I have ever heard in 70years to rendering Patsy's nuanced voice perfectly. My mother would have cried. Kudos, Austin.

[@terrichristenson432]

How absolutely wonderful to have those memories !!!

[@diannthomas5653]

Beautiful cover of one of Patsy Cline’s best, written by Willie Nelson.

[@christinasalamon6173]

Brothers in Arms and Adam Rupp’s drum solo need to be at the top of your home free list.

[@m.harrison2151]

Austin is singing this in the same key as Patsy Cline!! No kidding!! On his KZbin channel he does “At Last” in the same key as Etta James!! You should check that one out, plus many others on his channel, including “Bring Him Home” from Les Miserables!! You will be amazed!!

[@lisaseverance6785]

I am so glad you recognized Adam's amazing beatboxing in this! Not many people notice the brushes and understand the difficulty. It astounds me every time I listen to this song. My mom would have loved this song and she would have adored these guys. Great reaction!

[@babyfry4775]

I think it’s crazy good too! HF can really kill it. Yes, I love Adam’s brush drum strokes (or whatever you call them). It’s so good. Loved the black and white video too. It will always be Patsy Cline’s song but my goodness HF was amazing! 😄

[@katrinaprescott5911]

I notice he pronounces the words the same way Patsy Cline did. It helps keep the same "feeling" as the original. I hear it most on "worry" and "world".

[@joanwharff6483]

When it that he’s Not perfect ???… He’s one of a kind with the Most Beautiful voice 🙃❤️🎶‼️🎶❤️🙃

[@momD612]

Crazy amazing 👏 🥰🥰🥰

[@marshac7738]

Classic! And singing it in the same key as Patsy Cline's original is fabulous❣️🎼🥰🎶❤️

[@vickiadkins9844]

One of my favorites!!

[@JoanN63]

Adam is definitely the glue of the group. It is not for nothing that he is the only one left over from the beginning of Home Free. I hope these 5 guys stay together for many years to come. They are a group where everyone is so talented, but also stay very close to the "ordinary" person. They have the perfect voice for every song, like Austin here. Together with the incredible harmony and inhumanly good beatboxing you are completely drawn into the song.

[@georgefisher1995]

Home Free may do a cover, they may put a little Home Free spin on it , …. But they NEVER disrespect the original!

[@beadwright]

If you want to see a little motown style with Rob and Chance leads, check out Blue Aint Your Color. It is so cool.

[@Loulizabeth]

Sorry I missed the live Stream but so glad you loved it. I love these songs from back in the day. So glad my parents introduced me to them. You couldn't make it back then unless you had real talent. Honestly that why I love Home Free too. So many singing groups have maybe one, to two, main singers and the others most of the time only ever sing the background. But here they all have the voice to take the lead even Adam the Beatboxer, but he prefers to do the Beatboxing and occasionally does some harmonies. But all the others can take the lead. Will try to have a think of possible song suggestions for them that I think you would really like. "Helplessly Hoping" is definitely one and it really highlights Chance and Robs voice and yes even Adam the Beatboxer singing. If you're a fan of the original American Pie Song by Don MacLean, you might like their cover of it that includes Don MacLean himself. He actually asked them to cover it for the songs anniversary.

[@georgefisher1995]

Such a beautiful tribute to a classic song, by a beloved artist. They ad their swag, yet you can almost hear Patsy singing. Pure respect. Chills.

[@lucdowney4564]

And done in the same key as Patsy!

[@terij268]

Awesome rendition and justice to Patsy Cline. HF made a smart move in bringing the classics and do justice to them. I came across a new group called Forestella. They're a vocal quartet and awesome. Some songs I've listened to was: Scarborough Fair, Bad Romance, and Queens: We are the Champions, Bohemian Rhapsody and We Will Rock You. Some sites have them listed as Kpop but they're nothing like BTS. I really enjoy your reactions! God bless you!

[@dawnmanzetti1633]

CRAZY GOOD

[@carolchatham7766]

🔥 🔥 🔥

[@MrWoodfiddler]

Leo - love all your HF reactions. Keep up the great work. My second favorite HF reactor. Chuck in NE Kansas

[@lkwdbbw85]

Everything home free does is off the charts wonderful

[@debbiehall9091]

Home Free makes every cover better.💗

[@denise_landry]

Thanks Leo, fantastic reaction. 🍟

[@sallyintucson]

If you haven’t seen them in person yet, do so when you get a chance. They’re just as good in person.

[@lorimast]

Wow..... I LOVED the original and I absolutely think they honored the song. These guys really rock!!!

[@kylesummers1565]

I think Patsy would be ok with this cover. Peace, Love!!

[@susansundaram6737]

Just had the joy of listening to your reaction of HF's cover of "Crazy". As someone already mentioned HF knows just just how to use their video to support not overwhelm the song. So glad I found your channel and subscribed. Have you had a chance to listen to their cover of "Unchained Melody" or"In The Blood". Be well.

[@rebeccagibbs8794]

So much fun watching you "join" the guys with this one! Drumming along with Adam, playing air bass, and you sang a perfect run! Great reaction to a "crazy good" song!

[@marlenehamilton9224]

Love your channel Leon.

[@rowaineboyd1536]

The Marvelous Ms Cline would be so very proud of this version. Want another song with this flavor ( but not quite as old)? Try their cover of Keith Urban's 'Blue Ain't Your Color', and an added bonus in the guys have some dance moves. With a real choreographer, bless her inhumanly patient soul ;)

[@nancynelson9860]

I love Patsy Cline. I know this song. I've sung this song. Home Free did Patsy proud.

[@conniestone2806]

Thanks for this great one by the guys. One of my favs of theirs. Austin always great, the harmonies!! Adam's always incredible beat boxing. Have you listened to a great doo-wop fun one, Blue Ain't Your Color? They also do great choreo (old Temptations style) and the harmonies, oh man! So many to choose from! Take care.

[@connieharmon2408]

Love This ❤

[@karinfichtner7479]

And he's doing it in Patsy's key!

[@terrichristenson432]

Thanks for a fantastic reaction to Home Frees version, I really enjoyed both the song and your reaction. I am curious as to your musical background. You seem very knowledgeable about music, do you have schooling or training ?

[@mjsabie8517]

Terri, normally I would let @Leonardo Torres respond but he is super busy right now preparing for a new baby. He has informal training. He was taught music by his grandfather in Mexico who played in a mariachi band. He plays guitar and has played multiple genres.

[@geniej9093]

In the old days vascular: It was swell.

[@tracyallshouse2730]

I enjoyed your interpretation of their rendition of Crazy. I personally never liked this song growing up. Both Patsy's and Willie's versions were not for me, Home Free made me like a song I never did.

[@sister-carolannclark]

❤

[@mistypfitzer111]

Dude, I freaking LOVE how jazzed up u got about this song haha 😅☺️😎 i got all pumped up just from watching your reaction LOL! I feel like the freggin Energizer bunny on cocaine now hahaha 😂😬🤦‍♀️😝🙄🙃🐰I just picked up on your high vibes thru the phone screen 😝

[@tygerbrite]

Have you heard Austin's cover of "At Last" (on his channel)? Also sung in the same key as Etta James.

[@irenelopez3390]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@EarlJohn61]

The beat boxing ties the song together... but it's getting a heck of a boost from the bass boxing...

[@carlosmansito2792]

Hey i would LOVE you to react to "Jesús and Nicodemus" from the movie The Life Of JesusChrist

[@JohnBare747]

Try the Linda Ronstadt version of Crazy! You won't think I'm crazy for suggesting it.

[@cindywolcott1006]

If you want to hear some awesome base, watch Homefree Sing-Off, Ring Of Fire. It will blow your mind

[@mjsabie8517]

He did ring of Fire live vs studio where he watched both versions

[@changlyn100]

You have to blame whoever the arranger was about that breath.

[@donnamoskowitz4978]

❤💛💙🤎🧡💚💜❤💥💥💥

[@Anne.Pinkerton]

How about doing some Voiceplay???

[@nancynelson9860]

I'm a singer and I didn't hear him take a breath at that spot????

[@LeonardoTorresMusic]

It’s not that serious.

[@glennspreeman1634]

now, turn down the luscious music and watch the video!

[@nancynelson9860]

He did it in one breath. I don't understand what you are hearing there????

[@LeonardoTorresMusic]

Why are you so aggressive? There was a pause at the end of that phrase. If he did it in one breath, I apologize, then I will say that I wish he would have slurred onto those last notes. Listen with noise cancelling headphones and hear that he either paused for a moment or they digitally overlapped that last part.

[@dalepettiner5036]

Personally, the only Patsy song that would have been better is "Sweet Dreams".

[@lukegrasso6161]

Can you react to Yeshua by Jesus image
