KENNY ROGERS Children, Go Where I Send Thee ft. Home Free | Vocal Coach Reaction (& Analysis)

[@JeffOfTheMountains]

I'm glad they got to do this with him before he passed. Now it needs to happen with Ray Stevens before he goes too.

[@katrinaprescott5911]

They did "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" with Charlie Daniels before he passed - there just isn't a video. Tim was the voice of the narrator, Charlie was the voice of the Devil, and Austin was the voice of Johnny. It was almost as much a short radio play as a song. Some people seem to have trouble distinguishing between Tim and Charlie 😂. I thought it was pretty clear, myself.

[@susanwahl6322]

They have also done Mississippi squirrel revival.

[@vickiadkins9844]

What an honor for the boys that KR asked them to sing with him!!! Can u imagine?!

[@LynnRamsay]

You were wondering about Adam he says he’s always learning new sounds and improving sounds. I think you have been told that Tim is known for blowing speakers at concerts well he now has company Adam blew the speakers at a concert recently they were out long enough to have a Story Time With Tim.Adam was so proud of himself it was so cute 😂

[@brucewaln]

I think this arrangement shows, perhaps more than any other, that not only are they great singers, they're great musicians. Listen to how complex this arrangement is! Constant changes in lead, in background vocals, dynamics. It is just a masterpiece.

[@robinharrison3736]

There is a video of Chris Rupp explaining how they filmed this video with KR. It is on his official website. Very interesting.

[@terimingle8957]

When I see you are reacting I start smiling before I even hit play!! Loved this one for sure!!! ❤

[@hlbjazz]

This is absolutely one of my most favorite Home Free songs. SOOOO good. And your reaction was fantastic! I'm sitting here listening again - with the volume turned up.

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

So fun! Thank you 😁

[@Tark-qs4mu]

Kenny Rogers has worked with some of the biggest, most talented musicians and vocalists in the last half century. He has made the career of several names we recognize as legendary in the music industry. To have someone of his status be impressed by your vocal skills, your vocal musicianship, has to be one of the highlights of a career filled with them. And, those careers filled with highlights aren't over, not even close. HomeFree are only adding to that list every year. All while staying some of the most grounded people in music.

[@Jennifer_J_C]

What a combination! Great analysis ..... but ..... we need a Home Free / Jen collab 😃

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

🤞🏼😁

[@minneyruth]

Yesss!! 🤞😁🤞🤟🤠🤟

[@momD612]

How awesome would a HF/Jen collab be with one of your originals?! 🤯🥰🥰

[@cslapler007]

This is one of my all-time favorites of Home Free and I've probably listened to it more than anything else. Go back and just sit back and listen and GROOVE your heart out! Over and over. You wont be disappointed. It's extremely catchy, so much fun and never seems to get old. All the vocals are incredible - the contrast in voices, the jazzy inflections, the dynamics & articulation, the 7th chords, the intertwined parts... aaahg!

[@TheDivayenta]

Reminds me of Take Six!

[@DyvmSlorm]

Even HF’s sad songs leave me with a warm/hopeful feeling.

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

😁😁

[@thomasmacdiarmid8251]

The Carpenters were like that too. If you check the lyrics of many of the songs, they are just heart-rending, but Karen's gorgeous warm fluid voice and Richard's arrangements make them like a gentle hug. Home Free has that as well.

[@lisatudor1225]

I enjoyed this reaction soooo much...and I absolutely love all your reactions! 🥰 I would love to hear you react to their song Moonshine. It always makes me angry to see 🙈 that very few people have seen it...only 558k 😮 I simply don't understand why...it is soooo good! Let's help them make that song more popular!!! 🥰 I think you could definitely help them with that ❤

[@yakarobed]

I do love this song! It's on their set list for the Christmas tour this year with Chance singing much (all?) of Kenny's part. Glorious!

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Oh lovely!

[@margfried8796]

I heard it live at their Wisconsin concert. Chance was the perfect choice to sing Kenny's part. His voice has a similar quality to Kenny's. HF is so good at matching the right person to sing which song or part of a song.

[@peggygross7409]

Got to hear it at the concert (party) in Wisconsin as well. Great analysis as usual.

[@SBQDawn]

*chuckle as an older Home Fry I absolutely Love it when we get a Live Blooper , They are so rare but they are always comedy Gold and on Children Go at the WI Dells show Dec. 10th we Got a live Blooper from Chance followed by a tech talk with Tim explaining what happened. never laughed so hard in my life because we were all just grooving with HF on a song that feels like Hey remember Kenny Rogers? and Chance is just Yum doing it. Giggle Chance stepped forward on that final verse just a bit more aggressively maybe and accidently hit the Button on stage that controls the inner ear monitors cue system. Tim told us that they got some fancy upgrades and their sound guy Chris W. told them all about it how much better it was going to be because the click track now included a pitch reminder. Chris said it would take getting use to because there were a lot of new things this could do but it would be great. Apparently one of the new features is a skip. It doesn't matter where you are in the song when "Skip" is activated by the button it immediately moves you into the next song done or not. so the guys were shocked and confused Chance seemed to know what happened Tim caught on quick so there was a bit of a chuckle between them and Chance said My fault annnd I didn't want to sing that song anymore anyway. Then Tim explained about the new tech. the rest of the guys were trying not to loose it at that point. You just know Chance had a long night on Waldo. LOLOL Love the Live Bloopers because you just don't know what you'll get like a bonus comedy show in the middle of the show. I'm so Happy to have been at a show and got to see them handle the unexpected they way they do. Damn they are the best people.

[@margfried8796]

@@SBQDawn I so agree with you. It was so so funny. I spoke to Chance at the UVIP before the show and he had a very bad sinus infection. I asked him how he could sing with it and he said he would just muscle through it so when Chance stopped singing my first thought was OMG his voice went. lol, I was so relieved when Chance spoke & Tim explained what happened.

[@allenclaytor8551]

great reaction as always. Your right they always leave you in a good mood, and they are so humble at the same time.

[@dawnmanzetti1633]

What a special collaboration- they hit this out of the park 👍👏

[@musiclovingnurse2802]

“How are the Christmas concerts for Home Free going?” GREAT!!! I had VIP tickets for December 9th. Sat right behind Rob’s family…adorable children! They did this song and “Do You Hear What I Hear,” one of my favorites. And many other great songs, not all holiday, but it was a nice mix. I’d say the 4th time was a Charm!! Can’t wait for 5th concert!! Merry Christmas Jen! 🎄

[@cherylschroeder3344]

I was able to see them Dec9th in Minnesota for their holiday concert. They did this with Chance doing Kenny’s part. It was fabulous!

[@stanbannmusic8334]

Ski-U-Mah!! (Fabulous concert! Totally agree!)

[@paulavasko4633]

So glad to hear that they are still performing this song! So envious that you were able to see them live!

[@kmwwrench]

I was there, too. What a fun night.

[@nanadeborah8717]

And my seat was empty because I was sick.

[@cherylschroeder3344]

@@nanadeborah8717 Oh, so sorry for you 😞

[@marshac7738]

Only one word comes to mind when I hear this version of this song--LEGENDARY❣️🎼🥰🎶♥️ #HomeFree #HomeFreeDoesChristmasBest

[@ElizabethRoss-uj8rl]

This is a classic by 6 classy vocalists! Kenny Rogers is one the few country singers I followed before Home Free grabbed me on the Sing Off and taught me about country. modern and rock. The variety this arrangement puts into such a repetitive tune is praise-worthy, masterful, and just plain genius. Love, love, loved your reaction and comments -- as always, Jen. Happy Christmas season!

[@DanMcCall-g3b]

Jen, I think this was your best reaction to date. I really enjoyed it. Merry Christmas!

[@angelamiller6275]

Girl, I'm soooo happy you finally reacted to this! I knew you'd LOVE it, as I do. Thank you, Ma'am!❤ Merry Christmas!🎄🎅

[@mandysmith1756]

Absolutely love this, it's such a bop! It's too good to leave just to Christmas. Jen will you please react to their cover of Take Me Home Country Roads? It's an older one but the harmonies are beautiful and Rob goes off!

[@mswitch936]

Some of the hardest songs to perform (and listen to) are counting songs or repetitive listing songs. But this one with Kenny is different just enough every verse that you bop along with it.

[@lschoenrank]

Can you just imagine what Home Free would do with "The Twelve Days of Christmas"? It would be even funnier than "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer".

[@creationsbychancecan]

Home Free just made this one extra special. It is one of the last songs Kenny Rogers was in. What a wonderful bop this is. Love when you get your mind blown Jen

[@WilliamRoop-xt6rp]

Oh no! I got caught up listening to Jen's Christmas playlist and missed the beginning of this! Kenny has a VERY distinct voice for sure.

[@joannmonte2978]

Just saw HF Sunday, this one got me up and movin for sure……. At one point Tim pointed to our group and called us “the ass shakers”. 😮😂😂😂😂😂. Adam Rupp blew the sound system at the end of his solo.👏👏👏👏

[@kathrynhlavac-sb7ny]

I love your reaction! Your giggles always put a smile on my face and in my heart. Have a wonderful holiday season.

[@rodconner9079]

Another one for the record books! Loved it Jen! I find it absolutely amazing - astonishing even, the number of well=known world famous singers/performers who these guys have performed with and even redone some of the most iconic songs in history!!! It really makes a statement for what these guys do! I mean, here with Kenny, The Oak Ridge Boys, Lee Greenwood, Don McLean, Jewel, Mark Wills, Billy Gilman (*song was a hit in US), and so on/etc. These guys are somethin' else!!! : ) and you too!!!! Be Safe

[@dianeritthaler7792]

I'm so glad they did this with Kenny before he died

[@jq5609]

Joy to the world live by Home Free is a must see 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@noproblems9107]

Dear Jenn, you are by far my favorite reactor. Your analysis are not just thorough but your whimsy is funny and refreshing. Hope you had a great holiday.

[@babyfry4775]

Love your analysis Jen!! You are just so much fun and react like I do to them. Kenny sounded great for 75! The boys did a tribute to Kenny with the Gambler when he passed away at 80. This song is joyous and so much fun and they all sounded great. Yeah Adam is usually on the outside of the boys but he was right next to Kenny. Love it!!!🥰😃

[@user-David-Alan]

Great breakdown. I am waiting for the day they do a song with you. You need to listen to Lady by Kenny Rogers you will be blown away. Merry Christmas.

[@TheDivayenta]

This is a classic Black Spiritual! ❤ I LOVE your swoony facial expressions- we all have them too! ❤ The red mic goes great with the green blouse- merry merry!

[@shilohauraable]

Such an honor for them to have performed with such a master before he passed. Just Wonderful. ❤

[@coletedeux]

Don't forget Kenny Rogers and the First Edition when you check out Kenny's discography. "Ruby, Don't Take Your Love to Town" for example.

[@maryhemmer7943]

Thanks again for reacting - just watched your STL vlog last night; looks like you had a fabulous time - glad you got to see Home Free in the States. Saw their Christmas tour on 12/14/23 amd it was FABULOUS - had a good blend of Christmas songs as well as others - Colder Weather, O Holy Night (Austin had a little slip), lots of others I can't remember Elvira, Ring of Fire, Warmest Winter, Grandma got run over - encore song was Sea Shanty and they invited the audience to get out of their seats and get up to the stage -- Tim's low made the concrete floor shake -- FABULOUS.

[@joywright8794]

You have noticed the bounce. I grew up in a family who always went to church for the gospel sings. Southern Gospel is a celebration and one of the few times you see all the people attending , from 90 yrs all the way down to babies in arms, dancing in their seats, with toes tappin', and hands clappin'. There was usually a Gospel group and local musicians to complete the atmosphere. Everybody left one of these gatherings with a spring in their step, a smile on their face and a song in their heart (*Earworm alert* literally a song stuck in your heart for the upcoming week) . Celebrating the blessing that God gives us does that to a person. Merry Christmas sweet Jennifer!

[@ericclayton6287]

Austin’s gospel roots are showings.

[@ramonarichardson7904]

Jennifer…know that when they were done with their final take, Kenny Rogers hugged Adam Rupp and wouldn’t let go for over a minute. He loved his time with Home Free and appreciated Adam Rupp’s talent for the arraignment so much that he couldn’t thank him enough. Made me cry 😭 to find that out. What amazing talents and gifts from God!

[@chrismorin1318]

This may be considered a Christmas song but I listen to it year round! It's just such an uplifting vibe from start to finish and it's full of good energy! I knew this one was going to have a lot of pausing from you and you didn't disappoint! ❤

[@marytramp5678]

what i like to do is just listen to their songs and just enjoy the music and the joy that it gives me. Then i wait for you to react to it so i know what i'm actually hearing and how it's happening and that helps me understand why it's making enjoy it so much. I learn so much from your videos, thank you

[@fd009597]

Gambler,Lucille Lady his duet with Shenna Easton We Got Tonight...Kenny rogers Rabbit hole worthy

[@FrankDaddy-g1q]

Jen, I just love your reactions; it looks like you are having a great time with the Home Free reactions, and it's just like you just get all sucked up in the atmosphere and sound, and forget about the world around you. True, genuine reaction, I am LOVING this! :)

[@actuallyabby]

HF taking us to church! Loved those gospel chords. Oh that outro got me in the feels, Kenny was such an icon with un unmistakable voice!

[@michaeldalzell6670]

Totally love this version of this song 🎧, sadly not long after this we lost Kenny

[@morganalori]

Lovely song, great reaction. Can you just picture them "Kenny Rogers is reaching out to US!? Is this a prank/crank?!??!" and the fan squeeing commences when they realize Yes this icon of country music has reached out to collab. Kenny sounds so good here too. Glad they got to do this with him. They all look like they had soooo much fun doing this

[@larskunoandersen5750]

I love Rob´s voice

[@davidh.4649]

Jennifer! Not too behind today and I will catch up before I start cooking for Christmas dinner. Kenny Rogers, may he rest in peace. I don't know a lot of his music either though I'd bet I'd know more of his songs than I immediately can think of if I heard them. Loving your festive look with the pretty green shirt (green is my favorite color). LOL, at 17:56 ... NO!!!! ... Uh uh!! The unexpected key change wrecked poor Jen. 😁 It is a very bouncy, toe-tapping kind of song isn't it? Adam does a great job of driving that beat with his beat boxing. And again at 21:40 ... NO!!!! That was too much of a quick finish! LOL Poor Jen ... great reaction and analysis as always Jen! 😊

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Hahah so much going on! Have a wonderful Christmas!!😁🎉

[@richb313]

Loved your reaction Jen been a Kenny Rogers fan since 1970 when he played at university.

[@gilcoelho2029]

Jen about time love it worth the wait ❤

[@daventunes3822]

The song has its antecedents in a very old English folk song (The 12 Apostles), which was adapted and reconfigured into this version by African-American singers in the late 18- or early 1900s. Lyrics can vary quite a bit.

[@mike650r]

To appreciate Kenny Rogers, you need to react to the song "Lady" when he does it LIVE.

[@laurieshuey5668]

Agree ...

[@LarryMcMillan-tv3ht]

Since you asked how the Christmas shows were going, I just saw them a week and a half ago in Minnesota. They did this song toward the end, with Chance doing Kenny's part. It was excellent live, too. Also, a fun fact with the clip at the end: Kenny Rogers (and the First Edition) actually did a version of "Elvira" before the Oak Ridge Boys made it famous.

[@glendamcgrady1244]

Thanks, Jenn. Merry Christmas.

[@rllangevin3841]

I got to see Home Free perform this song live in Fargo on December & it was amazing. I loved when they performed it with Kenny Rogers too!

[@Beehindblueyes]

I love your face when Austin first came in.

[@kmwwrench]

Gospel is definitely not my thing, but this makes me smile and chair dance every time. Loved your reaction. Another one that it would be fun to hear for the first time again. They did this at the Christmas concert I was at earlier in December. And, yes, the audience was up dancin' and clappin' and singin' along. Great fun. (If the question you were afraid to ask was if Chris and Chance ever sing at the same time, the answer is yes. Once. What Child Is This. On Chris' channel. And it is fabulous.)

Welp...did it again...!! I was watching another reaction to a HF song on my phone when Jenn's popped up on my computer...so, I cut that other one a little short of the end, during the reactors comments, and came to Jenn's.

Probably one of a few times Jen I am going to recommend a movie versus something musical. Kenny Rogers did a Movie called SIX PACK, yes he does sing in it but it will show you more of his showmanship and a terrific movie overall.
