Musician Reacts To Home Free - When A Man Loves a Woman

[@jeannemartin2490]

Austin is beyond incredible singing this song and the rest of Home Free gives him the perfect background vocals. I love this rendition of this song.

[@JacobRestituto]

Amazing

[@charleneclaassen]

Great reaction. I loved his Unchained Melody he did on his channel and then HF dropped this! Wow. I love that Austin never sounds like he's stretching for those high notes. His voice sounds full and comfortable. Must add first version where I not only love all aspects of the song, but am able to hear the lyrics. I can follow the story he's telling me. The rest of the guys just giving this performance a beautiful cushion to rest on. Perfect. HATE THAT FADE. YOU HEARING ME DARREN?

[@dorothygarner9375]

Austin has an awesome tenor voice! When they were on the Sing-Off, Shawn Stockman told him he had a star voice more than once. I'm just glad he's continuing to sing with Home Free!!

[@JacobRestituto]

🔥🔥

[@kristindunstan172]

Jewel also told him he had a tendency to shy away from the high notes. It looks like he got past that!

[@donnam5891]

Great reaction. Yes I loved that note too & wanted it to go on for longer. Lovely song. Austin has a divine voice. & Adam was killing the beat boxing

[@JacobRestituto]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@luckylady7542]

Vocal acrobatics at their finest. I melt into a puddle every time I hear him sing this song. Love, love, love.

[@JacobRestituto]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@shilohauraable]

Austin did musical theater 🎭 before they asked him to join Home Free. He also spent his early years traveling with his father as part of a gospel group. He's amazing, yet blends so well with everyone else in the group! Love Home Free! 💖

[@terrichristenson432]

Home Free is my favorite vocal group, I have a special place in my heart for them. They definetly helped me through some tough times this last few years with their great music. Thanks for your reactions to them, I like how you appreciate Austins Amazing voice, he is very special !!!

[@JacobRestituto]

Cool!!!

[@lindawarden-burglund9603]

I love your critique and reaction. I'm not a musician, but I've been a huge fan of Home Free for a long time, and they just keep getting better and better. Keep 'em coming!

[@JacobRestituto]

Thanks!!!

[@creationsbychancecan]

Austin has such fluidity in his vocal range and such presence that watching and listening to him is pure pleasure. This was done during lick down which makes it even more special. The producer fir this is top notch. Layne's beatboxing is outstanding. Thanks for reacting to this

[@JacobRestituto]

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@daventunes3822]

They were all in different locations when they filmed their parts. The video guy is a beast! They've been doing remote recording all during the Covid quarantine, so almost all of their last year's work is stitched together from different feeds.

[@JacobRestituto]

Amazing

[@Sissysuez]

Austin is so freaking talented his vocals are insane like you said CRAZY VOICE!!!!

[@JacobRestituto]

It’s wild

[@hazelcampbell2779]

Great reaction. I like the perspective that you bring and how you pay attention to detail. Glad you found Home Free. I love your commentary.

[@JacobRestituto]

Thansk!!

[@garyhughes5480]

He killed it !!!!

[@carlyyoung3481]

Love love Home Free. Austin is perfection. Adam is amazing. The other 3 make listening to their music a pleasure. 💞

[@kristindunstan172]

Apparently, Tim had been trying to get Austin to do this song for about 4-5 years before he finally gave in. I'm glad Tim was patient. Austin's voice is so perfect for this song!

[@JacobRestituto]

Oh wow!

[@rachelhurst3224]

That fade out leaves us wanting more... not fully satisfied... then immediately hitting the repeat button. They totally know what they are doing on that... contrary to the male mindset and totally in tune with the majority of their fans, ie... females... Always. Always leave a woman wanting more 😉

[@JacobRestituto]

Truth!

[@randyhawley7202]

But don't leave her high and dry ! LOL

[@susanleigh7618]

Austin just killed it!!!! So love it!!

[@JacobRestituto]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@miamidolphinsfan]

I agree it was a wrong time to fade it out...that will be one to look for in concert how Austin ends it !!

[@JacobRestituto]

🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@jankreps5115]

Listen to Austin singing “Unchained Melody “! Darrin Rust is their producer! Absolutely amazing talented!! Listen to his production of God Bless the USA with Lee Greenwood and the Air Force ban! He provides spaces in the song so Lee can play with his own song to make new additions!! Watch the Making of this video! Shows much of the production!! Still filming in different locations due to Covid!! Blew me away! Listen for flyover at the end!! Great reaction!!

[@bingobillable]

So glad you’ve started reacting to Home Free. I think they are every bit as good as Pentatonix, it with there own twist and humor. These guys really like singing together and having fun. All except Adam Rupp can and do take the lead, but Adam only sings when the song doesn’t require his phenomenal beatboxing. On those occasions he’s got a good voice. You are so impressed by his beat boxing skills, you really need to once one of his live beatboxing videos. There are several on KZbin.

[@sandyblack2687]

Love your reactions and love Home Free!!❤

[@samhamblen2270]

Adam Rupp is the BeatBoxer and is a 3 time World Champian BeatBoxer. Look at his Solo on one of their Live Shows.

[@annakoch9972]

Now I think I must say something... I start hearing that Adam was a two time champion in some contest some year back, but I have never seen or heard what contest it supposed to be. And now have the number grown...🤔 I don't argue with you he is the best beatboxer I ever heard about and probably you or everybody else but... With contest is this? Where can I found information about it? I bet Adam don't mind if we all think he's the best of the best and is pretty flattered of it when people mention him as a champion but its also nice to have the truth about it. 🙂

[@m.harrison2151]

Do yourself a favor and check out Austin Brown (high tenor & singing lead here) doing “Bring Him Home”. They used to sing it in their concerts to give Adam a break after his beat box solo. Only live fan videos exist. Austin is trained in classical & musical theater. Please give it a review!

[@JacobRestituto]

🔥

[@JaimeDornanLady]

There’s now a video of it put out by Austin! He does an incredible job with it, as he does with everything he sings. Austin has an amazing voice, & knocks everything out of the park! Definitely a serious #_theAustinBrown fan, as well as #HomeFree & #TimFoustMusic. Great stuff!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️

[@sheliaspringer7389]

THEY DID THE SEPERATE BOXES BECAUSE OF COVID. THEY HAD TO RECORD SEPERATELY AND THEN MASH IT TOGETHER. LOVE YOUR REACTIONS!

[@glennspreeman1634]

love your analysis, and understanding of HG's greatness!

Thanks!

[@shellyegrant6420]

Love how you catch all the awesome percussion sounds Adam does! ☺️

I think everybody hates the fadeout and no one understands why. He was about to do an Ella and shatter a champagne glass there.

[@lisaswafford1201]

If you are interviewing Tim Foust on Tuesday , you have to check out their video “Mayday” by Cam.! It really shows off Tim. It will definitely surprise you!!

[@JacobRestituto]

Great!

[@sharonmortimer3843]

Austin has a musical theater background. That helps with his facial expressions. Thanks for your reaction.

You should listen to Your Man by Home Free. This was one of their early ones

[@JacobRestituto]

🔥

[@oldmillcjc1]

Every single member of Home Free is the best of what they do!!! Adam Rupp is the best beatboxer I have ever heard. Tim Foust is my favorite bass singer and Rob Lundquist plus Adam Chance are fabulous too!!!

[@catb.7167]

What happened to Olena, wasn't she Austin's girlfriend?

[@annakoch9972]

@@catb.7167 They break up back in 2017 (or was it 2018..?) Mutual decision. She still around as a adviceer on clothes and make up. (Maybe not as much now days because Corona and distant working, the guys film their videos by them self in their backyards most of the time. But I have seen her in Behind The Scenes videos Home Free pretty recently released to us at Patreon level $15. She's a friend to Chance's fiancee, Sami. Austin stayed single for a while and now have found Amber. I don't know much about Olena's privacy but I know she is a fantastic artist and paint, go to her IG and see some of hers work, she paint on clothes and sell. She have made some fantastic leather jackets.

Lucky lady!

[@conniestone2806]

Be sure to watch Austin's Unchained Melody and At Last if you haven't. He's got some great originals this year too he's done when Home Free has not been able to tour. The guys actually encouraged him to do some of his own music. He is not someone who sits still very long! lol. But he's Home Free all the way as well! Thank goodness! Take care.

[@lindanearing7097]

I appreciate that you gave Adam Rupp props for his beat boxing. He's so dang good that most people blow right by because I think they forget it's not actual instruments.

[@JacobRestituto]

So gooooood!

[@JaimeDornanLady]

So true! I know pple. recognize Adam when he has something really unique, like in “Man of Constant Sorrow”, or has a solo part, but in other songs, I think he’s so good that we forget there aren’t really drums playing anywhere! 🔥🔥🔥#HomeFryForLife

[@pop-sd8cq]

Adam Rupp is by far the best drumming beatboxer in acapella today.. 😎

[@JacobRestituto]

[@matthewaaronallen1598]

Have you heard Kevin Olusola from Pentatonix? Adam is great, but Kevin is unreal

[@pop-sd8cq]

@@matthewaaronallen1598 Kevin is great for certain sounds but Adam has a greater variety of drum kit sounds and quality but Kevin had a wider variety outside of the drum kit imo 😎

[@matthewaaronallen1598]

@@pop-sd8cq idk, have you heard Love Again by PTX? The throat bass that Kevin in that shows quite a bit of variety. And I think his beatboxing is better than ever now if you listen to their new stuff. Haha I'm not arguing by any means. I think Home Free and Adam are amazing as well. Just a bit of friendly banter

[@matthewaaronallen1598]

@@pop-sd8cq I definitely agree that Kevin has more talent outside of beatboxing. That man is the definition of multitalented!

You should check out Austin’s solo if you not have done that. He is so good. Some covers and others by him. I love his latest “If I met you now”

[@JacobRestituto]

Cool!!

This is phenomenal! You must be a drummer. My husband is a drummer/percussionist.

hahhah

[@richarddaugherty8583]

Love your breakdowns! You should react to Austin singing Bring Him Home from Les Misérables! I was in tears at the end! He changed the ending and it is positively divine. For this song, all the ladies I hear reacting to this are swooning (and about a quarter of the guys!).

[@stanrock2225]

Over the top. They could sing the ABC's and do it well. Beatboxer is on fire. They all can sing lead and they all beatbox a little. The live version of 9 to 5 is killer with all the beatboxing.

[@LJ-qk8ui]

Fabulous!

[@dogtrainerjen]

My understanding is that he's (Austin) classically and theatrically trained

[@karinfichtner7479]

Austin does have power....but hi voice is so flexible. Check out another one of their "lockdown" songs..."Moonshine". Truly a chance for Austin to shine.

[@JacobRestituto]

So nice!

[@babyfry4775]

They have been churning out videos during quarantine and I love that. They’ve also been writing and singing their own stuff too. You should really listen to Adam Rupp drum solo on youtube. He’s so good and you can see all his drumming and different sounds he makes. I can’t understand how he breathes but I think he’s learned to inhale and exhale through the sounds. Austin is amazing and also has his own channel and sings some great songs. Good reaction. Home Free is amazing. You should also listen to Helplessly Hoping to hear their great harmonies.

[@suehall6632]

If you like Austin go on KZbin find the concert where he does bring him home from les mis

[@eugeneenslow8563]

Totally agree about the fade out. 👌

[@jackiestone3468]

Not sure why they faded it out…I loved everything about this song! Great reaction 🎉I love Home Free😊

[@JacobRestituto]

for sure

[@TheRealXesc]

I have to agree with you and EVERY SINGLE other reactor out there, the end fading in this song was piss poor, we all LOVE Austin's super high notes at the end, why take them from us?? Other than that, new sub here, totally loving your commentaries and reactions to Home Free, watching all your Home Free reaction, from oldest to newest - and yes, it's 05:50 AM here now :)

Austin's voice is amazing and he is singing to his GF (Amberly Hall). He always gives his best, but he has a new feel to the love songs now.

[@Princess_karen]

He is a world champ beat boxer

[@dinodasbunce6224]

A great well constructed fade out is supposed to leave the listener wanting more. If you find yourself cranking up the volume during a fade out, then the artists and engineers in the studio of done their jobs well. I just read a little further down in the comments and noticed that 'rachel hurst' all ready made a comment about a fade out leaving you wanting more. I am leaving my comment in because, if I understand it right, the more comments a video gets, the better for the channel it is.

[@nestea8385]

Austin is classicly trained.

[@JacobRestituto]

nice!

[@changlyn100]

He couldn't hold it any longer without changing the balance.

[@joanwharff6483]

Love this one.. Austin ( the crazy high tenor) is great.. as are all of Home Free. Check out Elvira with the Oak RIdge Boys for some of Adam Rupps amazing drumming Imo.. its an oldie and hes added multitudes to his repertoire since.. but I really enjoy it. You are the first reactor that has mentioned the high note that Austin hits and runs on.. I feel the same way every time I see this one... He needed to resolve that one differently, I think. Thanks!
