Home Free Reaction - Stand By Me

[@nancyholter5646]

Why would anyone argue about Rob's voice and its R&B potential? It's just one of his facets, but a wonderful one!

[@jankreps5115]

I agree with you…Rob does have an amazing voice! The first time I heard R&B from Rob was at the hosanna concert in 2013 just before they won the singOff!! HF saying joy to the world… Like you’ve never heard it!! Rob singing Nessun dorma… And joy to the world always amazes me!! That being said every member in Home Free impresses me! I don’t have one favorite singer because they’re also beautiful harmonizing together! Listen to “female, woman, amen”;…”Bless the Broken Road”; for Chance listen to “Finally Free” &. “Can’t out run her”; Tim “In My Room”” & “Your Man”; Austin solo of “Unchained Melody” & “Listen to the Music & Adams “Drum Solo”…Aint Goin Down Till the Sun Comes Up”! What a talented group of guys!! Great harmonies and so upbeat most of the time!! Nice reaction!

[@555Vibes]

Thanks for the songs!

[@roniboyd613]

Gotta watch Hosanna again😉

[@ArleneAdkinsZell]

Awesome reaction, I agree with everything you said, spot on. R&B Rob, Opera Rob, Gospel Rob, Country Rob...all the Robs are wonderful, every guy in HomeFree is just amazing.

[@555Vibes]

Thanks Arlene. Robs voice is so smooth!

[@nightthornkvala94132]

Rob is great for R&B. He gets such soul in his voice.

[@glendamcgrady1244]

I agree with you. Rob's voice is warm, inviting, comforting emotive, etc. Great jobl by Home Free!

[@user-qp8jh9vl7v]

Such a fantastic version. Thanks for the Home Free reactions

[@minneyruth]

I agree, Rob is great for R&B 🔥🔥🥰

[@JoanN63]

I agree 100% with what you say about Rob's voice. They all have great voices, but Rob's voice always gives me a certain shiver through my body that just touches my soul. It's definitely my favorite, although it's hard to admit, because it's actually Home Free as a whole that appeals to me so much. Their amazing voices, non-human beatboxing, the harmony, the brotherhood, humor, appearance and personalities, etc. I think the others' solo projects are very good, but not something I really listen to. Although, I do have a few solo singles from Adam Chance on my playlist. And if Rob had a solo album, I would definitely have one too. One of the songs I have been listening to for as long as I can remember. First the LP, later I always had it on one of my cassette tapes, then I got the CD and in recent years I usually have it on one of my playlists. Although many versions had been released in the meantime, it was usually the version by Ben E. King or Otis Redding. But from now on it is the version of Home Free that is on my playlist and no other. Alternating the lead between Austin's powerful voice and Rob's silky soulful voice just sounds so beautiful and fantastic. Then the unparalleled vocal percussion, truly phenomenal. The incredible bass and beautiful background vocals/harmony are the finishing touch.❤

[@lindanearing4710]

I can't even tell you how much I love this. The guys took an already great song and worked their special magic on it and made it spectacular. This is one of those performances that makes the hair on the back of my head stand up and chills run down my spine. Electric shivers. It's in my top 3 favorite Home Free songs. The versatility of Home Free and performing so many genres of music is what sets them apart. And you are absolutely correct: Rob's R & B and soul elements are fabulous. I always enjoy your reactions. Thanks for another great one.

[@555Vibes]

Thanks, I really LOVED this one too!

[@miamidolphinsfan]

I agree, this one was made for Home Free...those harmonies are amazing.

[@floprather4262]

As always Rob's smooth, soulful voice is amazing.

[@dagmar.6954]

Love this great classic song from Ben E. King back in 1961. The Home Free guys did an awesome version as always. Love their arrangement on this cover. Great vocal leads by Austin & Rob. Tim's bass really stands out for me in this one. And Adam's tasteful vocal percussion is on point.

[@babyfry4775]

I agree with you that Rob kills it on the R & B sound. Rob and Austin killed it. I love the bell tones and the slowed down part near the end. Yeah Tim with the lows at the end were perfect too. Good one 555! 😃🤩

[@555Vibes]

Thanks! I love when Tim does that at the end.

[@ElizabethRoss-uj8rl]

I don't think the fans will disagree that HF does incredible R&B. They are branded as country, but that's not how it started, nor how it going to end. Their catalog is unbelievably diverse. In fact, this is on my top 10 HF playlist, too! The arrangement is characteristic of their harmonic style, full of dissonances and transitions. I danced to Ben E. King in 1961 when the song debuted on campus, and now I just sway to HF's velvet version. Enjoyed your reaction!

[@MonicaGoodwin-qz5gd]

❤🤠#HomeFree. I totally agree Rob is perfect for R&B. Beautiful sang. Really enjoyed your reaction.❤

[@555Vibes]

Thanks!

[@marcom6089]

I love these guys…they just make me happy. Austin’s voice is my favorite.

[@kmwwrench]

I love this. I think it's one of the best things they've done. Those bell tones behind Rob. The great backing vocals. And the 2 amazing leads that trade off so seamlessly.

[@beckiramsey9561]

I really love how Austin and Rob go back and forth on this one it sounds so awesome and the harmonies of everyone is so great, with Adam, of course holding down the groove! They never disappoint!! ❤❤ Great react thanks for supporting them like you do!🏡🍟

[@555Vibes]

Thanks Becki, it was so good with them going back and forth!

[@barbarakennedy2667]

Listen for the belltones and the raindrops.

[@judithL3100]

Not to start any wars (love both groups), but Rob has the adaptable kind of voice that Scott from Pentatonix has. He seems like he can sing almost any kind of music, and he blends very well, too.

[@555Vibes]

That definitely makes sense to me!!

[@brendasorenson6186]

HF does a great job on this song. Personally, I think that these five talented guys have a synergistic effect on each other that makes HF so good and special. 😊 Official video for SKULL AND BONES was released about 1.5 hrs ago!!!

[@555Vibes]

Nice! That was a good song

[@user-tz3nc6bs3t]

They are awesome and really hoping I get to see them again…..they came to England last year and I was able to go and see them…..

[@peterholmes2485]

Wonderful version of this song. ❤🇬🇧

[@tygerbrite]

I bet you'd enjoy reacting to the live performance of their bluesy-gospel version of Joy to the World (Hosanna Concert, 2013): Rob leads throughout.

[@555Vibes]

Couldn’t write that down fast enough! 🙂

[@sag2horses]

YES, I AGREE, ROB & R&B, DID YOU SEE BLUE AIN'T YOUR COLOR? ROB LEADS IN THAT ONE

[@555Vibes]

No Thanks!!

[@BobbyRains-pb8zw]

I love Rob by in every song they sing. You should check out “ two country singers, try opera”. You will love him more than ever

[@555Vibes]

Oooh Thanks!!

[@teresacartwright5406]

I love their rendition of Ben E. King's iconic song. As always the singing, harmonies & beatboxing are terrific. Austin, Tim, Straight No Chaser and friends also have a video of it kzbin.info/www/bejne/rquQkmamjp2ems0si=NWtnEvcWmz_pVFVs. You'd really like HFs "Spaceship" it features Rob & his family.Thanks for playing this & your comments.

[@555Vibes]

Thank you!

[@cmitchell7347]

Great reaction! Sooooo smooth. Inspires one to both sway along with bit of a bounce. Despite the repetitive lyrics, the guys switched it up enough to keep it musically interesting. Always love when we get some of their 5-part harmony. The way Rob and Austin segue so seamlessly and, when together, are amazing. I have no issue with your enjoyment of Rob. He has a vocal quality suited to so many styles. Austin has a more 'signature' country sound but has tremendous versatility, as well. Hopefully you'll get around to today's release of their latest version of 'Skull & Bones.' Been a long wait...quite the production. Chance rightfully in the spotlight...which he so seldom is.

[@Cat-fi4ie]

Great reaction! About time 😂. This goes up there for me too. Suggestions Snapback, Finally Free, Dive Bar Saints, Dreamer

[@555Vibes]

Thanks!

[@pamforrester844]

I do love this song, probably going to get stuck in my head now😊. Thank you for the video and commentary

[@555Vibes]

Great song!

[@roniboyd613]

Ok, my fave Rob song is 'Catch if You Can' - Rob kills it!!

[@555Vibes]

Oooh thanks!

[@donnaflynn9615]

Tomorrow at noon Skull and Bones Home Free video will premiere. It didn’t say what time zone. I’m assuming Eastern but could be Central.

[@philbrown2563]

If you haven't watched their video of Colder Weather, you need to!!!

[@beckiramsey9561]

Hey, I wanted to let you know they released their own video for the Skull and Bones that Chance wrote for the Ubisoft pirate game! In case you didn’t get a notification, it was released yesterday!😉

[@555Vibes]

Thanks Becki!

[@keithjohnson8330]

It's my opinion. I can't have Rob nor Austin in an R&B... they compliment each other so well. Case in point Playing with Fire.. It just sounds so good. You take one away. You know that you are missing something

[@cboz6137]

Oh... 😭I had not heard this song in a hundred years. Such a good song and they did a great job. And if you like beautiful covers of songs... Oh, please do this... BTS BBC1 during the pandemic, covered Missing You, which was first a Sting song "Every Step You Take" then remade into "I'll be Missing You" by Puff Daddy w/Faith Evens when Biggy was killed. Now BTS remade it adding lyrics relating to the pandemic. Other than their hilariously overly-coordinated jean outfits, the cover is beautiful. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3-YeJRshLKqnqMsi=UNiqkDf71dO7LUmu Also, if you know Coldplay's Fix you... they did it on MTV unplugged during the pandemic as well. Pretty great. I think you will like both. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGHKaGWaabOkqdUsi=qLnYGC_WRcYqCf3A 💜
