Home Free | Thinking Out Loud/ Let's Get It On ( Ed Sheeran and Marvin Gaye Cover ) | Reaction

[@caroleb.9387]

Austin is from southern Georgia so his accent comes through. Tim is from SE Texas and also has the southern accent. But the part you were questioning was all Austin. Great reaction! 😎👍

[@cherrymcgregor535]

He once said he worked hard to get rid of his accent at university as he was doing musical theatre then when he joined home free he had to work to get it again !( his singing voice that is)

[@curlyque2717]

@@floprather4262 I think most of us Southerners can accentuate our accent. I used to turn it on when I answered the phone when I worked in PA. It can cool a northern temper in a heartbeat.

@@miamidolphinsfan The reactor was confused as to who was singing the low voice on Let’s Get It On, and you were correct, it was Austin. Some are confused also since Austin doesn’t normally sing that low. It makes for a good discussion. The guys probably enjoyed that confusion, lol.

The talent is all over the damn group lol

[@lrfcowper]

Tim says he did that wah-wah sound in the studio & they were all, "We're using that!" Then he realized he'd have to reproduce that sound every time they sing it live. Some of the earlier fan recordings of it, you can see him very chagrined about it. Completely off topic of the singing, but I love that suit jacket off Austin's.

[@YolandaHoversten]

Me, too! Chris Rupp mentioned in his reaction of the same video that Austin loves that jacket. Austin can wear anything and he looks good in all of them-just like he can sing anything. 😆

[@melodieclay1739]

That was Austin all the way through Ed Sheerin 😀! All the Basses are talented, but Tim Foust is the most talented! He taught Avi & Geoff how to do what they are doing now, and I’m sure that the others looked to him for inspiration as well.

[@gailw415]

@@nikelodeon6852 You obviously don’t know yourself. It’s well known that Tim is a master at the growl and he coached Geoff and Avi on certain things. They’re all friends

[@melodieclay1739]

@@nikelodeon6852 Just because Tim doesn’t use those techniques, doesn’t mean he doesn’t know how to use them. It’s well known that when Tim and Geoff met on the “Sing-Off”, Geoff was unable to go as low as Tim. They became friends and Geoff asked Tim to help him expand his vocal range. Tim did the same thing for Avi prior to him joining PTX. I’m not saying that Tim taught either of them everything, he just helped with the raw talent that was there. Tim has been in the a cappella world for a long time and is older than the other guys. It makes sense that they would look to him as a mentor of sorts, just as he would have looked to someone else. I say Tim is the most talented for a variety of reasons…his 6 octave range, the quality of his voice, his song writing, his arranging, his teaching, and he’s just a darn good guy!

[@melodieclay1739]

@@nikelodeon6852 if you had taken the time to actually read my post thoroughly and not jump on anyone whose opinion differs with yours, you would know that my message was not combative in any way and actually agreed with you on certain points. Tim Foust is the one who says he has a 6 octave range, and I would think that the artist himself would know better than anyone else what his capabilities are. So, if you want to call me a liar, you are calling Tim a liar! I didn’t say that Tim taught Geoff how to do subharmonics. What I said is that just because Tim doesn’t use the technique, doesn’t mean he doesn’t know how to use it. What I said was that Tim helped Geoff extend his vocal range. I think it’s great that you are invested in Geoff and he is a great talent, but please don’t go around calling people liars and being combative when their opinion differs from yours. I’ve been a Home Fry for many years and I know that’s not what those guys stand for, and I know that they are good friends with Voice Play, so I’m hoping they have the same ethics. Please do not reply again. I have no wish to continue this discussion with you, I just wanted to make sure you are aware that even though it’s not face to face, it isn’t polite to call someone a liar. Thank you.

My favorite Chance lead! And the backing harmonies are glorious!

[@dianadickerson749]

They do. That's why Rob did the lead on colder weather on the sing off, and teed the judges off, they wanted Tim or Austin. The judges wanted to make it all about them, but that's not these guys roll.

[@chrismorin1318]

That's exactly right. Unless there's a particular reason for them to give the lead to someone, they each sing and they choose the best fit for the song. They check their egos at the door, they stay humble and group oriented. That's just one reason Home Free is a group I listen to nearly every day. I can't count how many times I've gone to sleep or woken up hearing a Home Free song in my mind. They are my addiction and I never want to be cured. ❤

[@conniestone2806]

lol! Cracked me up you trying to figure out Austin singing so country. (It was all him except the smaller Marvin Gaye part from Tim.) Yep, Austin's super twang country from Georgia all the way! He can twang it with the best of them! He had to actually work hard with training to not use that twang when he sings so many songs that he doesn't need or want it in. Tim pretty much sings with his twang or somewhat most of the time. Have you listened to Austin do Les Miserables with Home Free, a live show. You will get to find out his classical training. That's why I love Austin because he can do pretty much anything. And I love them all of course with all their talent! Well, thanks for your reactions! Always fun.

I also listen to PTX and Voice Play, but Home Free is my favorite overall because I truly believe they are the most well rounded of the groups. There are no weak links. Each member had equal capabilities in taking the lead and killing it! I would love, just once to have Adam Rupp take lead for a whole song. I think us Home Fries would lose our every lovin minds! I love how humble and interactive the guys are and they check their egos at the door! No one person is portrayed as better or higher up in the group. Unless you count Adam as his own entity... Lol. No one can realistically cover his part within the group. I'm looking forward to more of your reactions! It's like sitting down with a friend and listening and hearing music together.

These guys are just the best at doing mashup songs. Prefer this over Ed Sheeran's version. And that was Austin doing the part you thought was Tim. Tim started the Let's Get in On section & his range is crazy. And you are so right that Tim is the best bass out there right now because it is so natural. He even talks low. Avi also is a smooth bass. Geoff is a baritone who has learned techniques to get low. Love Adam's vocal percussion as always. He is so good at it that you forget there are no instruments. There are no divas in this group. They all take the lead depending on who is best for the song.
