THEY CAN DO ANYTHING!!!!! Blind reaction to Home Free - Mayday

[@ppresley9208]

Chance adds so much depth to Home Free ... love it when he solos !

[@patriciamcl54]

I actually prefer his voice to Tim's. It has more soul and sweetness.

[@ppresley9208]

@@patriciamcl54 Agree ... there's something mysterious and reserved about Chance ... he intrigues me ! I love them all but Chance holds a special place in my heart !

[@christyeckert3115]

I love all the guys but Chance is my favorite, his voice is so smooth.

[@super_siri]

I CLICKED SO FAST TO WATCH YOU GET YOUR MIND BLOWN!!!!

[@TeahVickery]

Me too!!

[@amandak2237]

I did too😂😂

Yup! Sprained a finger, but worth it😀😀😀

[@jerlynneallison6361]

🙋🏼🙋🏼🙋🏼🤣🤣

[@miamidolphinsfan]

Brother you need to listen to a Chance lead....then youĺl understand why so many Home Fries are HUGE fans of his....some of his leads (this one he even directed) I can outrun you, Finally Free (a particular favorite of mine), Cover Me Up (very special one because of the surprise after the video part is over - you gotta keep watching), Born in the USA, Dive Bar Saints, and Chance's Country Roots - not a song but a great video of Chance at his childhood home --it is so cool !!!!

[@totoro123]

Chase so often is in the background... Whenever he comes to the fore it such a treat

[@patriciamcl54]

In fact over the last few years he's had more leads and shared leads than Austin. Consider - Dive Bar Saints, Folsom Prison Blues, Blue ain't Your Colour, Workin' for a Livin', Born in the USA, Brothers in Arms etc etc.

[@lisamcbride8921]

Tim is so chock full of talent it’s crazy! 😮

[@edsartistry]

When Chance hits that low note, it just sucker punches you right in the heart. WHAM !! This is my favorite song of theirs's. I think they did this just to throw all of us off kilter.

[@wendywallis2956]

Not sure if you have checked out Rob and Austin trying to sing opera. If not you should check it out. Talk about mind blown!

[@DevilsRose]

This group is heaven on earth

[@marshac7738]

They chose to sing this in its original key as sung by Cam, a female country singer. Just proves their lack of having a female in the group is no detriment--they just let their BASS handle it! 🤣 LOVE the versatility of our amazingly talented fellas!! 🥰. Every member of Home Free could absolutely be a solo ⭐ star ⭐ but their harmonies together are MAGIC!! ❣️🎼🥰🎶❤️

[@candilunsford2878]

Not sure if anyone told you this, but Chance was also in the same season of Sing Off with VoicePlay and Home Free--he was in the acapella group Street Corner Symphony. He was their bass and it's how they all met. There's a song on VP's video list that has the duet with Chance's old group.

[@angelinamay161]

Great reaction. You made a joke saying that Rob and Austin would do the bass sometime , Fun fact: Adam has a beautiful tenor voice, and originally was never planned to be the beat boxer, his brother Chris was going to. ^.^

[@MarielleSweden]

9 to 5 live. It's all I'm going to say 😁

[@chericeevans9990]

Agree and Blue Ain’t Your Color

[@hadrianw_]

Crazily enough, Tim is actually singing in the original key, so the same one that Cam sings in hers. Absolutely mind blowing

[@brucewaln]

Cam should get more credit here because she wrote an absolute banger of a song. Combine that with Home Free's incredible vocals and like for many others, this is my favorite Home Free song.

[@marjankielstra5118]

You just have to see Austin and Rob sing opera. Just amazing. ❤

[@rllangevin3841]

Time to check out Austin in one of their originals (which he wrote) Save the World and also these 3 originals in this order as there’s a thread from one to the next: Catch Me If You Can (Rob leads) Dive Bar Saints (Chance leads) and Leave This Town (Tim leads) Can’t wait to see your enthusiasm for each of these. So, so good! Home Free never disappoints.!

[@nancyholter5646]

Yes, both Tim and Chance were the ah-ha's in this video. If you want more of Chance's bass, check out his new single (Far From any Road) as well as his collab with The Hound & The Fox - Wayfaring Stranger.

[@rllangevin3841]

I Can’t Outrun You not only has Chance in the lead, with amazing 5-part harmonies but he also directed their video which was his concept too. It is a MUST SEE!

[@donnilloyd1355]

Ya, Chance is no stranger to Bass. He was the Bass Vocalist for his previous group, Street Corner Symphony.

[@Jon.Coppernoll]

Home Free was really just showing off with this one

[@jimwise4307]

It is like butter. The way they sing is like butter.

[@leeanne7169]

They CAN do anything!! Check out Rob and Austin singing OPERA!!! It is fabulous!!

[@sharonmortimer3843]

Chance's old group Street Corner Symphony he was the bass. He is a phenomenal as a bass. Truly enjoyed watching your reaction to this song.

[@debbiestumm511]

Wait till you watch the live version of 9 to 5 + beatboxing! You will fall over, no joke! 😁

[@chericeevans9990]

You should check out Adam Chance with The Hound + The Fox on Wayfaring Stranger

[@dj_410]

Coming in around 5 days time :D (give or take a few haha)

[@charleneclaassen]

YesYesYesYes!!! I was waiting for the video that would force you out of your chair. 🤓 Lovely reaction.

[@katyb9532]

I have just recently discovered the amazing talent of Home Free. I have also recently discovered your reactions to this group and i can't share your reactions enough! I love every single one!

[@lucybogacheva1447]

I told you! love part when Chance does bass!

[@wendywallis2956]

I agree, Austin's voice just has something special. Every time he sings there is something in his tone that gives me full body goose bumps!

[@sallymaria]

Back when this was released, Tim's higher register was much less well-known - the track came out on an album months before the video, and there were plenty of arguments who was singing those first few lines. As you may have heard, Chance sang bass with his previous group, Street Corner Symphony - having two talented bass singers has given Home Free so many more options in their arrangements.

[@antrazitaj5209]

You know what this song is? - A flex. Like, by the way, everybody in the group can sing tenor and we have 2 basses!

[@janewestpoldskrvseth]

Home Free can do anything, and if you not listen to Brothers in arms you MUST SEE LOVE FROM A Fries and thanks for sharing 💖💖👏👏

[@denisehaukkala9742]

Tim never sang bass in this. I had to watch many times to see what harmony and countermelody he was doing. He was only tenor. But chance dropping to respectable low bass was a treat.

[@MBP235]

3:13 goosebumps all over ❤

[@sylviasargent2727]

Them all doing everything is pretty true. You need to watch 9 to 5 but it HAS to be the live version. If you watch it you will figure out why it has to be the live version.

[@geniej9093]

You would enjoy the "from the vault" version of making of "MAYDAY".

[@lisamcbride8921]

I was dying......you had to get up and walk it off for a second! ❤

[@kylesummers1565]

Peace, Love!!

[@vickiadkins9844]

Masterpiece from the boys!!

[@tinaprice848]

If you want one that a really break you watch Robin Austin do Opera they do Nessun Dorma and they nearly broke all the reactors when they did that

[@doloresburns3301]

Another spectacular performance that's often overlooked is their cover of John Mayer's In The Blood...it is super cool.

[@leahschmid1494]

Chance does the bass part when tim has the solo

[@sarahplatten544]

Country Roads, Helplessly Hoping and Brothers in Arms are a must.

[@teresacartwright5406]

Now that you've seen Mayday, you have to see "Mayday Live" - it will blow your mind (guess what - they can allll beatbox). Rob & Austin's duet of "Nessun Dorma" will leave you gob-smacked as well - yeah, they can sing opera too. I love your enthusiasm & positivity! At the risk of repeating countless others - just adorable! Keep being you!

[@patriciamcl54]

The only version of Mayday live that I've found was a bit of a mess - Tim's voice in terrible shape for the opening, Austin off pitch and the second half descending into chaos, with something wrong with the sound balance on top of it. There were very good reasons why Mayday was removed from the song list for live shows. It needs voices in great shape, and the complexity of the last section needs exact timing and pitch.

[@ElizabethRoss-uj8rl]

Each one of them, at one time or another, has invented a new octave. 🙃

[@lrfcowper]

Chance has a 4+ octave range, which would be really impressive if he wasn't in a group with a bass with a 5+ octave range... But the Chance-lead HF songs are *gorgeous*, as is basically anything on his solo channel and his collabs with The Hound + the Fox on their channel.

[@EdwinSemidey]

This 1 tripped everyone up. but it showed their range

[@momD612]

Thank God I'm a country boy. 🙏 😉🥰🥰

[@KaaSerpent]

There are some really cool videos out there comparing the bass ranges of various of the a capella basses. The amazing part to me is that Chance and Tim have very nearly the same range. So, yeah...just ruminate on that for a bit. :)

[@brendasorenson6186]

Now you understand why it's so important for new reactors to wait on hearing Mayday. All 5 do such a spectacular job on it, including Adam. It's one of my favorites.

[@steveeverett1736]

exactly, new reactors have to pace themselves and learn the various tricks and techniques the group uses before reacting to Mayday, just to understand how good it truly is

[@georgefisher1995]

AND SO …. another surprise from Home Free! There is no “typical” sound to them. Always different, always original, never boring. They will always ad their swagger, yet keep true to the original. Their ability to produce so many differences, yet not be type cast as - oh yah, that’s Home Free is amazing.

[@donnastupka7507]

Homefree are the best! Great reaction, thanks!🔥❤🔥

[@ramonarichardson7904]

It has been said Adam Rupp has an incredible voice. In order to do what he has to do with his voice in beatbox, his singing voice has to be a fine tuned instrument. He sings every once in awhile. His voice is gorgeous in Home Free’s “How Great Thou Art”! And where they filmed that one will blow your mind!!

[@christymuz6968]

OMG🥰🥰🥰

[@chrissynovful]

These guys are phenomenal! There is a video of HF performing for a telethon, singing My Country Tis of Thee and we get to hear Adam sing! Also, could you do a reaction to Dan Vasc’s cover of Amazing Grace? I think you would enjoy it. Love your energy 🙂

[@super_siri]

I think what you are calling breaking in Austin's voice is actually him flipping up into his head voice, which is the point at which his voice could break if he weren't an amazing technician.

[@jeannewallace5383]

Yes all of them can "just do that " including Adam Rupp he has a fabulous tenor voice

[@cheryljohnson733]

I've had the pleasure of seeing them live 3 times. They often travel to Australia..you should catch them. BTW, we all have been crushing on Austin for a long time.

[@JoanN63]

Yes, a song with surprises. Tim who goes tenor, Austin and Rob who also hit different notes than usual, the inhuman vocal percussion and as a great end to the surprises the incredible bass of Chance. Simply fabulous

[@patriciamcl54]

I don't think there's anything different from Austin's accustomed range.

[@SBQDawn]

Speaking of Chance Have you done Cover me Up ? It's a very special Chance video with the guys just being a wonderful Supportive canvas as Chance sings the story. He Directed it and when you watch past the credits you'll know why!

[@ss7cindersh]

Im going to throw a suggestion out there. you should check out one of the groups that really laid the groundwork for the modern acapella group, Rockapella. There is a version of the group that has been active over the last decade but the original group goes back to the 90s. IF you want another bass on your radar Barry Carl should fit the bill.

[@kathrynphelps9771]

Lovely reaction. May I recommend 'Moonshine', that they recorded in their own back yards in lockdown? It's so overlooked but I love it. It shows a bit of personality, I feel.

[@patriciamcl54]

I agree, it's gorgeous. Never got much pushing by the band or their PR people, even though everyone sounds amazing. One of my favourites.

[@beadwright]

Rob and Austin were singing in the same key as Cam, the female singer who did the original.

[@garryandjanepannell8594]

I was waiting for you to see Chance do his bass! Awesome reaction!

[@kellywilliams364]

This song is by a female artist Cam. What is mind blowing is they sing it in the same key and octave!!!

[@super_siri]

And better...

[@GryphonDes]

So glad you jumped on this one!

[@lorriredmon8212]

Chance's voice is so silky, and I wish I heard more of him. I LOVE this version. As always their harmonies and arrangements are wonderful!

[@patriciamcl54]

He has loads of leads and shared leads with Home Free, and solo songs on his channel. Not hard to find lol!

[@MattPhizzle]

On their cover of My Church by Maren Morris, Chance takes the bass line for the majority of the song while Tim is on lead. My favorite song by them. Please check it out! Loved your reaction to Chance hitting the low notes here. Should also check out his solo stuff too!

[@ad9aggie]

Austin & Rob: Guys, we need three tenors to do this right. Tim: I got you fam. Chance you have the bass. Chance: Cool Adam: Ba-dum-tiss

[@deniblackmore2179]

Great reaction. This is a fab number from the boys. I believe Chance was the bass singer in another group before joining Home Free. This is the only number I've heard so far from them where he gets a bass solo but I'd love to know if there's more out there that I've not yet found. He gets anice little baritone (I think - don't know the techy stuff about ranges etc lol) solo in "Hillbilly Bone" though - would love to see you react to that. I suspect it might be something other than the vocals that get you in that one! 😉😅

[@super_siri]

So, now that you've watched Chance be the bass, you should really check him out in Street Corner Symphony, his last group, where he was the bass. I love their versions of Come On Eileen, and Down on the Corner from their performances on the Sing Off (they also do a Beatles medley, that's amazing as well), but the album versions are good too.

[@jerrijackson824]

I don’t know what was happening with your audio, but during the video we were getting some kind of a wired feedback sound. Maybe because you were doing it live? Not a bad comment, but thought there is some kind of adjustment that needs to be made? Love your reactions!

[@JeshuaSquirrel]

Have you aeen the live performance of 9 to 5 where they break down into a beat box battle between the five of them? Well, four and Tim being a literal subwoofer.

[@lanabuck802]

Always love your reactions

[@lowelljohnston7013]

New subscriber, I caught your reaction to this just now and I had to subscribe. Welcome to the Home Fry family DJ and I adore your genuine reactions. Might I suggest a favorite of mine, Tim Foust and Austin Brown, My Maria. It is filmed on Austin's back porch with Chris Chatham, Chris Marion, and Sebastien Douyon. Much love and can't wait to see more of your reactions

[@dj_410]

So glad to have you as part of what has affectionately been named The Herd 😍 thanks so much for subscribing!! Super exciting Home Free video coming not tomorrow but the next day!! (If all goes according to plan 😂)

[@sandraweimer8287]

I was getting nervous that you would pause right when Chance did his part, but thankfully you backed up to get a running start into it. I love seeing reactions to that low note! All of Home Free did a great job on this song! I know others have mentioned some works where Chance gets low - one of my favorites is 'A Whistling Lad' from The Hound + The Fox (ft. Adam Chance). In addition to being a spectacular and beautifully written original song, I love Chance's "thunderous low drone notes" (as described by The H + The F). Another great reaction - thanks!

[@debbiecrawford7925]

Great reaction. Love these guys

[@victorcoker2713]

FINALLY!

[@Articxfrost0]

If you want a Home Free video to laugh to, look for their cover of "Honey, I'm good."

[@kathysizemore9975]

You should do I Swear by them. It's memorable to say the least.

[@SBQDawn]

Austin Looks like a Young Kris Kristofferson! He could be related it's spooky in a great way! *chuckle Yeah Austin teases that he's working on his Bass. I don't doubt it. One day Austin is going to just drop a bass and Tim is going to love the looks on our faces. They spend a ton of time with each other. So I have no doubt that someday they will sing something for us with all the parts swapped and flipped around even Rupp. Check out a live version of Mayday now, yeah it's camera phone caps but Marcia G has some that are better than average quality and she has Mayday Live so please check it out I really want to see your face on that surprise!

[@robynmatheson7687]

Will you start doing those Chance leads now? “I Can’t Outrun You “, 5 part harmony, hauntingly beautiful, and Chance directed the video. “Cover Me Up “, and let it play out as there is a surprise. “Some Girls Do”, “Yours”, “Blue Ain’t Your Color” shared with Rob. I push for Chance because he just doesn’t get the amount of attention as Tim and Austin, which I don’t understand. His voice is so warm and smoky. I don’t remember if you’ve done “Helplessly Hoping” yet. Pure 5 part harmony, and another of Chance’s babies. The songs that have his signature are some of my favorites. Another good one is “Dive Bar Saints “. My personal favorite of these that I’ve suggested is “I Can’t Outrun You “.

[@themourningstar338]

Plus he does lead sections in American Pie, Folsom Prison Blues, Brothers in Arms, Everybody Walkin' This Land, One Man Band etc... reactors always seem to snooze on the Chance tracks (even though there are a bunch of them). I love his voice and the versatility he brings to the group. They definitely lucked out getting him as Chris's replacement. He's added so much extra depth to their sound, and opened up a ton of flexibility in how they can do their arrangements. I totally agree, more Chance please!

[@kmwwrench]

That's my favorite, too.

[@patriciamcl54]

Everyone says Chance doesn't get enough attention but every time he's mentioned everyone rushes to say how incredible he is (which he is). After 7 years perhaps we can stop with this stereotyping of Chance as the underdog. But i must agree to some extent about the frantic fangirling over Tim every time he opens his mouth, and it has got to ridiculous levels in some quarters.

[@themourningstar338]

@@patriciamcl54 Well... that's one way to look at it. I personally have never seen Chance as a stereotypical underdog or a stereotypical anything. I was only pointing out that many reactors don't really see what he can do for a while because most of the heavily requested songs for new HF reactors tend to be Tim and Austin leads, with a few Rob songs thrown in. I don't have a favorite out of the 6 guys. I enjoy all of them and could never pick one over the other. I don't really understand the saltiness over people geeking out on music that they love, but to each their own I guess.

[@charleneclaassen]

Lyle from Patrol Nation watched this years ago (as in before Tim and Chance switched on the regular). He didn't just get out of his chair, he disappeared. 😂 I laughed so hard. Your reaction was everything I was hoping this video would do to you. Now just waiting for Nessun Dorma to wreck you. See you soon.

[@anitawright7169]

Tim is amazing, He has a 5-octave voice. Chance's solo was amazing. This song is amazing! Love your reaction!

[@beverlykrebs4372]

I was just sitting here waiting for Chance to blow you away! You did not disappoint! Lol! They really are all very versatile. The only explanation is that they are aliens from some musical planet where all the beings have supernatural musical powers. If that's not the reason, well, I got nothing. Mind blown. 😂😂😂

[@dj_410]

Right!! No way they are humans!!!

[@insanerifelman26]

Fun fact. Adam Chance was previously a bass for another acapella group. I believe the group was Street Corner Symphony.

[@HillbillyBard]

Adam Chance was formerly the bass singer in an a cappella group called STREETCORNER SYMPHONY. They've done covers of "Madness", "Royals" and "Uptown Funk". All are EXCELLENT!

[@liisaara7242]

This was LOVELY! So glad I got to experience this with you!

[@williamcapp448]

Tim sang tenor for one his previous vocal groups.

[@minneyruth]

Do you have any merch that says " Sirrrrr" 😅 Austin does have great hair 😍 i wish he would wear is his like this sometimes 😁 lol

[@mamabears34]

They are AWESOME aren't they!! I think that their choice to do this song just proves that there is nothing that these guys can't do! Each Home Free member brings their own level of talent to the group but when you put all five of them together pure magic happens! I love love this group and enjoy watching you react to them as it reminds me of when I first heard all of these songs and how I reacted to them lol You just have to check out their cover of Helplessly Hoping, this song and video is so beautifully done and actually has all five of them singing without any percussion sounds. You will once again be blown away by how versatile they are!

[@gretchenfraley3898]

I like their version better than the original.

[@eriklind8489]

loved your reaction to this...fortunately you have listened to them enough that you knew Tim could sing that high....but I loved your reaction to Chance going deep....not that surprising actually, since he was the bass in his previous group. But we haven't heard him do that until now.

[@roniboyd613]

What an experience it was watching your reaction😀

[@lynn2574]

Have you already heard Rob and Austin singing opera? That’s a great one.

[@rebeccarose7405]

Thanks for the smiles! I needed this today! ❤

[@christinamoxon]

Yes, Austin looks at his best in this imo. I'm not loving the new bushy beards everyone seems to be sporting now (same for Cesar and Eli). I prefered the trimmed version, but their voices don't seem to be affected by beard length #sighofrelief I like Austin best in Hillbilly Bone though. Take me home! 🤣🤣

[@GaiaOne]

You're now ready for Tim singing Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow/Stay. And yes, these men can sing ANYTHING. I look forward to hearing Home Free Sings The Phone Book.

[@stanrock2225]

This should be fun
