VOICE COACH REACTS | Home Free.. END OF THE ROAD (BOYZ II MEN). Guys... Rob just took us to church.

[@terrijohnson2159]

You would be surprised at their live versions of their songs. People say, there is no way they can do this live...then they do. These guys are phenomenal!!

Or sold

[@nicolemary4363]

@@turtlebeter8760 Yes! Not enough people react to Sold and it’s so good! Love the video for that one too!

[@everardusbogardus3167]

Yup. Either Sold or Mayday are both great selections. But “I Can’t Outrun You” may be a better choice.

[@superstrigoi]

Not yet! She needs a few more under her belt 😁

[@S550_HB]

Yes

[@nicolemary4363]

You’d be surprised at what they can pull off live with just the 5 of them! One that blows my mind every time is Man of Constant Sorrow live. Chance starts off doing the jaw harp live and then they use a looper so he can sing his parts. There’s so much going on but they pull it off and it sounds incredible! Also, I don’t think there is music backing any of this song. It is obviously a studio version but I’m pretty certain it’s still all vocals.

[@twaited5860]

I've seen them twice, and except for once when Adam laid down a drum rhythm with a loop machine, it's all them!

[@conniestone2806]

@@twaited5860 I've been to six of their live shows and the looper is used on Castle on the Hill and maybe one other to show you how they can layer with it. Sounds like you had the chance to see them do that too. It was awesome. But they use their voices so well to fill in backgrounds. They are truly one of the great live performances because they are super fun and funny as well. It's worth every penny and more. We leave happy and in awe and smiling and laughing! Cannot wait until they're out on the road again!

[@rogerwest603]

ALL VOCALS and just as you said possibly using a Looper! Great response BTW

[@reneerandall2572]

Yes they never use instruments. It’s ALL Adams Ruff’s doing he is the beatboxer

[@renegade121258]

Thank you for recognizing Rob so much. There are a lot of great singers. But in this video, Rob sang with pure passion. Reaching into the deepest parts of his soul and heart giving everything he had. He wasn't singing the song, He became the song.

[@joeysmith5086]

In Soviet Russia, song becomes you.

I mean passion alone can’t produce that kind of singing. That is some God-given talent and hard work!

[@Cruzer9392]

[@rayraudebaugh5395]

They take a lot of pride in the fact that everything they do is with their voices...pure a Capella. Having seen them live I can attest that they can do absolutely amazing things with just their voices.

[@garywinters4636]

They do utilize a "looper", and in their live shows they illustrate how they use it, and why they use it. Pretty cool.

[@TE5LA-GAMING]

I wish people would stop claiming this. As much as I like Home Free, this one is not acapella. All you have to do is listen on a good system to realize there is a bass guitar.

[@heelgrasper]

Loved your reaction. Since you mentioned Tim I can't help suggesting that you react to "Misty Mountains" with Tim and Peter Hollens. It just fits so well with Tims voice and Peter is nailing it as well.

[@JustGrowingUp84]

Yessss!

true but i'll take over the top this time of the year or anytime...🤣 go gal! Great analysis..

[@edmundeberhart5503]

I grew up near Philadelphia when Boyz II Men was hitting the big time in the early 90's, and I have been following Home Free since they won The Sing Off here in the states. Many people think of Home Free as a country group, but that's not what they were before being encouraged to audition for The Sing Off as a country group after a previous attempt to make the show as a more contemporary group failed. So seeing something like this doesn't surprise me because they are so much more than country. Even though Boyz II Men sang some acapella songs, this wasn't one of them, and I think it was actually smart for Home Free to do a song that wasn't originally an acapella song. Rob definitely showed a soulful side to this, and as a group, they absolutely nailed this!

[@SicSRT4]

How did I miss this reaction?!? Julia, this is the best reaction I've seen to this performance! I still get goosebumps from Rob in this. I loved how excited you got with his runs and growls!

[@abbyzee2531]

I remember reading an article about Rob where they interviewed his college vocal teacher. She said, that Rob was equally good at opera, jazz, and Broadway singing and that was so unusual to have that kind of versatility.

[@BriMarie627]

My brother-in-law was in vocal jazz with Rob at college (and my husband ran the sound board for the group). Rob was great back then too!

[@Sertoric]

I agree with many saying Mayday is great. If you want to hear all 5 of their voices, "How Great Thou Art" is the song. At around 2:30 in the song you can hear Adam Rupp sing clearly.

[@megalondonkleuter]

Great!! Have you listened to Mayday -- oh wow, love, love it! And you might like My Church too. So many, many others to enjoy. Have heard them live six times now. You'd be surprised what they do on stage to fill in, they all take turns with extra mouth work and they also have done a couple with looping, so do some of the background hard parts to show us what they do, then Adam puts it all together as they sing over it. Awesome! They did that to Castle on the Hill as it has parts Austin and Rob couldn't sustain during the song as they also need to sing other parts. They do have live performance videos of it showing them setting up the looping then singing it. Chance has the lead in that one and his voice is so special, cuts through my soul.Thanks for the great reaction. Take care.

[@timothybuell3314]

Interesting that you mention Rob's accent, because he's from Minnesota, no where near the south. In fact, as far north as you can go and stay in the country.

JULIA !! So glad you've now become a "Home Fry", what we Home Free fans call ourselves. This is one that shows just how capable they are. In concert on several songs they do use a "looper", which it is their voices but it can help on that layering on some songs. Listen to their cover of Castle on the Hill, listen to the studio version but also listen to the live recording

Canadian fan here...enjoy your channel very much. One Home Free song that blew my mind and brought tears is "When a Man Loves a Woman" Cheers!

[@donnilloyd1355]

Rob killed it in this video. IMO, they (all of Home Free) had to make EVERY part of this song as best as they could, because doing a Boyz II Men song and not making it great, would be a disrespect to them. (Boyz II Men) And as they ALWAYS do, Home Free gave the Cover the Respect that it DESERVED. (IMO that is) Great Reaction. After a few more Home Free songs, you'll be ready for the SHOCK of MAYDAY, I believe. Thank you, Julia. Great job.

[@spartanical]

I'm seriously impressed with Rob. He got his turn to shine and took it farther than I could have guessed it would go. He can apparently do almost anything. Btw, Julia, I LOVE how much you love music and great singing. You are feeling it deeply. It's a beautiful thing!

[@dolasfudge705]

Hi Julia! Great reaction! If you'd like to hear some of their originals I might suggest "Champagne Taste On A Beer Budget", "Snow Globe", or "Warmest Winter" since it's nearly Christmas. A couple of covers I'd recommend are "Leave This Town", and "All About That Bass". Every member has a song or two with the lead, except Adam Rupp unless you count his beatboxing and he has a couple of short lines in "How Great Thou Art" and I seem to remember one or more in "Helplessly Hoping" since it is all harmony with no beatboxing. They have songs with Tim in the lead with either his bass voice or one or more of his other 5+ octave voices, you just saw Rob's lead in this song and he takes most of the lead in "Blue Ain't Your Color". Austin takes lead in many songs as in the aforementioned "Warmest Winter", Chance leads in some other songs, but in most of the songs, everyone gets at least a line or two, depending on the structure of the song. They have over 100 songs on KZbin and they have never failed to deliver and amaze in all that I have seen so far. I wonder how many women have gotten pregnant from one or another of their voices in various songs (not literally, just the mood that they are in after listening to the music)! LOL

[@mleet3125]

I highly recommend home free - Auld Lang Syne. It's short unfortunately but I think demonstrates their harmonies the best.

[@ardillamente]

Because they are both short, they are both all about harmonies, and they both have Adam singing instead of beat boxing, I think Julia should do "Helplessly Hoping" and "Auld Lang Syne" as a double reaction in that order.

Shawn Stockman (of Boyz II Men) was one of the judges on the Sing Off the year that Home Free won so I think Home Free wanted to do it justice and I agree that they did. Rob is amazing. But they’re all amazing. If you want creative try Do You Hear What I Hear. Amazing harmonies try Helplessly Hoping, How Great Thou Art, Seven Bridges Road, O Holy Night, What Child Is This. Also they did a great cover of John Denver’s song Take me Home Country Roads...beautiful. Please keep reacting to them. Oh forgot - one of my favorites has Chance (the newest member and a baritone/bass) doing the lead - I Can’t Outrun You.
