THEY CAN DO EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!! Blind reaction to Home Free - 9 To 5 Live

[@kristindunstan172]

I'm pretty sure Austin's theater training contributes to his comfort with being on stage. Plus, he just has that outgoing personality.

[@itzel1735]

Absolutely. And he’s talked about even if not feeling it you have to meet audience expectations, like having a powerful presence. That’s a Disney thing too, meeting expectations. Did he do a stint at Disney?

[@sallymaria]

​@@itzel1735 Yes, he sang with the Voices of Liberty at Disney in Florida - he's friends with at least one of the female singers from Voctave that he met back then.

[@rosiewoodhouse5503]

This 67 year old grandma spent their entire concert on my feet dancing. That's one great thing about sitting in the last row. 💃

[@cheridampier2524]

This 67 year old grandma did the same thing, first row center...sorry folks but it WAS a party 😅

[@pennymaple1817]

This is by far my favourite reaction to Home Free demonstrating their beatboxing abilities! Your shock and disbelief was hilarious and I've now watched it several times and still giggle helplessly at your comments!

[@miamidolphinsfan]

They are just amazingly talented......many folks who enjoy acapella won't even give them a listen.....consider yourself priviledged that you know better

[@itzel1735]

I wonder if it’s because, at a glance, they appear to be a bad country stereotype of white male rednecks? Whereas, we know, by diving into their catalogue and history, we know they are allies and anti-bullying and there is no room for hate at a HomeFree show. They want us to be undivided. They call out the racists, fascists, nihilists and bigots. And while Tim personally prefers ladies, he’d “kiss a dude,to piss off the WBB church”.

[@BLBurns2000]

1. I saw your reaction like 10 seconds before you reacted to the breakdown. Spot on!!! 2. Nine to Five is the first Home Free song I ever saw searching for the Dolly version. 3. OMG I agree that Rob is the Bear in person as well. 4. I was singing along with them at a live performance doing the "fan girl" thing from the balcony on stage-left and I tend to belt. When they released the note they were on, I held it a little bit longer than I should have and it kinda echoed across the theater off the pipe organ facade and Rob looked straight up at me with that "Wow!" Open-mouth-look on his face that turned into a smile. Melted me. :-)

[@debbieholoquist2059]

"They can do everything!!!!" Oh, yes, they certainly can! I can't wait to see this reaction!

[@Ur4chun8]

All I can tell you about Rob saying he deflated footballs for the Patriots is that a few years ago, the Patriots got into a little heat in the news when it was discovered that the footballs Tom Brady was using were found not to be inflated fully. If where they're performing here is near New England, it might be the inside joke.

[@teresacartwright5406]

Back in the day (when this was taped) there had been a big ruckus 'cuz the New England Patriots football team had been accused of using partially deflated footballs. I don't know if you noticed that Adam's hair is long in this video. In recent live videos, they do a mash-up of "Man of Constant Sorrow" & Folsom Prison - Austin no-monicas in harmony with Adam. Love your channel & reactions!

[@teresacartwright5406]

P.S. - They always could - watch their (old rather obscure) live video "Hosannah, Joy to the World"!

[@danivansuperstar]

They’ll just come back in perfect harmony. That’s how they roll.

[@SarahAden-zb3np]

Rob from Home Free he did great job on this song. The harmonies are great and they are great singers. I could not believe they all can beatboxing. I can hear Tim's bass. I love Home Free and they are my favorite group. No one will change my mind. They are the best.😊❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@belinda9696]

I think some of it is the venue they are at, sometimes there are seats and theatres have rules, and some places you can stand and go crazy, also it has to do with the energy of the crowd too, some older crowds like to sit, but Tim always tells them if you feel like dancing to get up and shake your @$$ and live a little and usually by the end of any concert there are some people standing belly up to the stage. I love when I go to a concert where we can all go to the stage and dance and cheer.

[@dagmar.6954]

The guys do a great job of Dolly Parton's song. Even though this isn't the greatest recording, you still get a feel of how talented these guys are. Love seeing all of them beatboxing. And Tim's bass is so low. Gives you an idea what it would be like to be there & hear it live.

[@brendasorenson6186]

Rob and Tim can beatbox decently. If you look closely, Adam is supplementing Austin's & Chris' beatboxing while in the shadows. Austin does no-monica duets live with Adam on Man Of Constant Sorrow. However, Adam is in a class of his own when it comes to beatboxing!

[@pennymaple1817]

IIRC Rob took over the beatboxing when they did Adam's guilty pleasure. I know he majored in musical performance so I wonder if that included a beatbox element as well as an opera one? 😁😁

[@brendasorenson6186]

@pennymaple1817 Maybe he missed "playing an instrument," as he was a sax player in high school before switching to vocal music. 😄 Thanks for pointing out which song Rob beatboxed in, as I couldn't remember.

[@danivansuperstar]

And rob beatboxing. Omg

[@KaaSerpent]

My mouth was hanging open for most of that beatbox section. Damn.

[@sylviasargent2727]

Now you know why I wanted you to listen to the LIVE 9 to 5.... LOL

[@SBQDawn]

Some of the venues don't allow a dance pit or even dancing in the aisle safety and fire codes but when it's ok people go crazy and let loose. #PupetMasterRupp !!!

[@annelieshoornik]

LOL and at the beginning you say that you don’t understand how they can all just sit there calmly listening. They went wild at the break down 😊 and when have you heard Home Free ever OK-ing it?

[@shellywagoner5259]

Saw them live for the fifth time, met them once before the concert, they performed this in concert!!!

[@charleneclaassen]

I love this beatboxing exhibition so much. Previously you heard Austin doing percussion in DO YOU HEAR WHAT I HEAR. Love it!😊

[@ghstdnsr]

Austin can also do the harmonica, seen that live as well

[@minneyruth]

LOVE THIS ONE!!

[@kmwwrench]

This is so much fun. This is absolutely what their concerts are like.

[@TonyLedu]

When he was talking about deflating balls he was talking about when tom Brady was accused of deflating footballs during the Super Bowl last year I think it was

[@minneyruth]

No, there's nothing they can't do lol. Love this ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@richb313]

I had never seen this live version before it is something special.

[@rulab]

I adore watching this and I'm so glad I now have it to watch over and over again! I always love it when you suddenly "get it" when someone requests something that seems a little bit "odd"...the Herd knows what we are doing...I promise 😂 #DJAntlers

[@grievousangel7742]

They are madly versatile. There is a clip of them singing Little Saint Nick at a Patreon party which sums them up as far as I'm concerned. Tim and Chance seamlessly swap the bass so they can so sing verses, Tim takes over the percussion so Adam can sing a verse... And it really is so smooth you don't even think about it, apart from the novelty of Adam singing!

[@JoanN63]

That's why one of my biggest wishes is to see Home Free perform live in the Netherlands.( Sept.27) Because how good is this? Each member can do more than sing, while singing is already so great. And how steady and incredible it sounds is just amazing. Of course the no-human beatboxing of Adam is unmatchable, but the awesome beatboxing of the others is also worth it. They don't just give a concert, they give entertainment. They don't need too much show around it because they are the show itself.

[@jenndement4671]

Ben Folds: It's called a Beatbox-off! 😂

[@2wheels298]

Some Venues have their own policy of no dancing in the isles.. Which makes it pretty darn hard to stay sitting at a Home Free concert.. We have been to see them a few times but that was inside venues.. Next we'll be going to an outdoor one as long as its in driving distance.. Just so much more fun to get up and dance.. Indoors or outdoors, if its driving distance, we go... You never no whats gonna happen at a Home Free concert ... lol

[@jerrijackson824]

Your reaction is priceless! Love it! They are so amazing. Flipped me out the first time I saw them all beatboxing!

[@patriciavernon9795]

I knew this one would surprise you! I absolutely LOVE this one! I wish they would do something similar again. Thanks for a fabulous reaction as always!

[@stephaniehuffman1976]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I laughed at your reaction so hard my dog jumped up and was wondering what was going on. This took them to a whole different level huh? I LOVE these guys!!!!❤

[@bethcoussou]

I had the good fortune to see them perform this at the show I went to back then with Chris. It was phenomenal live! I hadn’t heard about it and was totally surprised! Tim actually can do some simple beatboxing. There’s a video floating around somewhere that was a Cameo (not MyFanPark) request of Chance, Rob, and Tim doing part of the chorus of Steve Miller’s “Keep on Rockin’ Me, Baby”. It’s a shorty, but oh, so good! There’s actually another video of this after Chance joined the group since it was the same year that Chris left and they were still performing the beatbox breakdown. Chance was pretty good, too!

[@lsu52frog]

As good as their videos are they don't compare to seeing them live. You won't regret it. The only down side is the time flies as they leave you wanting more.

[@chilcootchicks4968]

I’m so happy you got to this one! They did this in a performance in Amsterdam too. Killed the crowd! I think their choice of adding Adam Chance was brilliant because he compliments all this. He is a master at all the electric guitar noises, so they can create any beats they want. They did a little bit of this at the live show I went too, they are great in person.

[@sharonmortimer3843]

This is definitely a great song to watch. I don't know if you have watched a live of Man of Constant Sorrow. But they may be something that you need to watch. And by the way Tim also helped Avi with his bass. Really enjoyed watching your reaction to this song.

[@danivansuperstar]

You’re my fave. They are so much better live, but there aren’t many videos that truly capture it. We have more requests, so I’ll be there!!!

[@loonyTlu]

Deflating the football joke refers to a sports scandal from a few years back. The team New England Patriots, specifically their star player Tom Brady, were accused of deflating the air pressure in their footballs in order to gain an advantage on the field. It was such a stupid thing it’s become a bit of a joke.

[@anitawright7169]

This is so much fun. Looks like they had a blast. Love your raction!

[@adwenb]

Austin also covers the nomonica when Adam is doing something else.

[@danivansuperstar]

I admit that I underestimated Austin when I first heard Home Free. Now I know that he is a brilliant songwriter and he's such a wonderful singing artist in general. He is so adaptable. Which is a talent in and of itself. Yes, it is. Everything he does musically is so deliberate, but he makes it look natural (music and dance both).

[@michellehorn6532]

There are actually a couple of other songs that HF has done where Austin does a little "beatboxing". Children Go Where I Send Thee and Do You Hear What I Hear. It's subtle, but IYKYK! Thank you for the wonderful reactions!!

[@ArleneAdkinsZell]

Awesome reaction, I love it when an artist makes your head spin!All the guys have certain beatboxing skills, certainly not like Adam, but some and if you are looking for it you can see it in lots of their videos.

[@kellywilliams364]

You had me cracking up 😂😂. This is great live.

[@debbiestumm511]

No clue how everyone sits... I was up dancing myself! 😂

[@debbieblake2708]

I've been to many, many live shows.... most of the time, I get to set in the first few rows. You're in too much awe to get up and dance.... we're all signing with them and trying to get it all in. Great reaction!!

[@molacyVA]

Love your reaction! They are always amazing. Fun to see someone else as surprised as I was. I think I remember a lockdown-era interview with them where they said they could all do a little beatboxing but didn't have nearly the talent Adam Rupp does. They also said they didn't enjoy it as much and couldn't do it for a whole show.

[@AmyBly-xq5fj]

That was AWESOME!

[@stanrock2225]

They are the best out there. Wow

How can they be so talented, each and every one!🔥🔥 I am so glad that I came across them and get to listen to their music and got to at least see them in concert and one Backyard Bash! Great reaction!! The shock on your face was great!😂

I love this live reaction. This is a good one.

[@danivansuperstar]

[@carolyntaylor7]

Rob’s commitment about deflating Patriots footballs (he’s not a Patriot fan) is referring to a scandal from several years ago.

[@nancyholter5646]

It's always soooo much fun to watch your head explode. Thank you!!

[@vickiadkins9844]

The breakdown though!!

[@Indigo_moon]

Yay! Finally!!! Im assuming the deflated football joke is because he's at the Patriots rivals hometown, or the team that they were playing against when they were caught deflating footballs. But I don't remember what team it was.

[@tinah8833]

I think they were playing the Colts when that happened.

[@danivansuperstar]

Better get ready!

[@lalavelazquez6719]

Loved your reaction to this one....

[@simongueits2431]

Tim does the beatboxing on the “Butts Remix” then Rob raps the Sir Mix A lot section so Adam can do the DJ scratching

❤ great reaction ❤🤠🔥💯🍟❤️

Here we go

[@nancymccombs3775]

Great reaction! BTW, love the hair.

[@Jennifer_J_C]

Thanks 😊

[@debbieholoquist2059]

Adam is not a witch doctor. He's a sorcerer who can control others. It's the only explanation .... 😉

[@simongueits2431]

If you think this is crazy, apparently Geof from Voiceplay is the guy who taught Layne how to beatbox 😂

[@jandrost3848]

They are coming 27 September to the Netherlands 🎉

[@Mikki44]

One year the Patriots won the Superbowl and everybody said they cheated and made the footballs easier to grip by deflating them a little, lol.

[@simongueits2431]

Forgive the typo. Tim beatboxes while Rob is performing that section in “The Butts Remix” so Adam Rupp can DJ scratch that section*

[@pamelagoodman7559]

There was a football game with the New England Patriots (don’t remember the other team) and it became a scandal when they were accused of deflating their footballs. This, if true, would give their QB Tom Brady an unfair advantage with his passing game.

[@SBQDawn]

#PuppetMasterRupp.

[@coletedeux]

One game, the football was underinflated for a Pats game. Violation.

[@pamelagoodman7559]

Definitely Austin on “roll your way”. Not sure about anyone else

[@pamelamoncur3625]

Adam taught Austin no_ monica also

[@MarielleSweden]

There are videos with Chance doing this too 😊

[@RebeccaMidyette]

The inside joke was Deflategate by the Patriots...under inflated footballs

[@KaaSerpent]

Maybe -- and go with me, here -- we should actually just ASK the guys if they can, you know...do surgery or rocket science or five-star cheffing. Because maybe they literally CAN just do everything and we just haven't asked.

[@babyfry4775]

There’s a better one than this. It’s closer and clearer. St. Andrews Scotland (by Kim Ball). It’s great. This one is hard to see them. They are extremely talented for sure. Good one DJ!

You missed the Patriot's scandal with them deflating the footballs? Sheesh.
