WARRP Reacts to Two COUNTRY Singers try singing OPERA "Nessun Dorma" Austin Brown & Rob Lundquist

[@johntucker4296]

Rob changes voices like a chameleon changes colors. Love your shock. We the people have been stalking reactors since this came out.😂

[@thomasmacdiarmid8251]

He has so many nicknames - Gospel Rob, Rappin' Rob, Opera Rob, Country Rob, probably a few others. He's the Swiss Army Knife of vocals.

[@DavideBaroni]

They LIED. They titled it "Two country singers TRY to sing Opera". No, no and no. These two Country singers KILLED IT singing Opera. 🙂 And yes, a number of people criticised their pronunciation and stuff. Well, I AM Italian, and their Italian was almost flawless. I know Italians that would have a far worse pronunciation than theirs. 🙂 I grew up with a melomaniac father. Listened to Opera since I couldn't even talk. And this was one of his, and mine, favorite "arias": it comes from Puccini's "Turandot", and one of the most famous interpreters of this aria was Luciano Pavarotti, who is from my birth town. Well, these two guys could sing this thing pretty much in any Opera context, and rank high enough. 🙂 I admit that the first time I watched this video I just cried... It moved me. 🥲 And it still does, so I still have wet eyes towards the end. 🙂 Loved your reaction. 🙂 Pretty much overlapped mine 😅. Thanks, guys, see you next time!!

[@sandyleewhite]

💗💗💗 Thank You for sharing your story 💗💗💗

[@anathardayaldar]

The opera experts who reacted to this all loved it as a "very good as two guys who did not dedicate their whole lives to opera". They saved their professional criticisms for their own collegues and did not pull them out for this video. Also they knew if they sounded at all negative then hundreds of thousands of fans will rip them apart and may destroy their yt career.

[@DavideBaroni]

@@anathardayaldar Oh yes, of course there are things that can be improved. 🙂 And of course this wasn't a live performance, I'm fully aware of this. 🙂 But believe me, they got it better than many "not first class" Opera singers... Who sometimes owe their successo to a "non specialised" audience (well, not anymore, at least 😁). Especially considering that only Rob had Opera training (but at least 15 years before... and yet it's easy to see that he remembers how to do it), and Austin had only "classical training" (but not specifically Opera), I'd say that, had they pursued an Opera career, at least Rob would very likely have had one. Not as sure about Austin, he is naturally high but kinda lacks "power", but again, it would have affected him live (especially in an unplugged environment), and there are some legit opera singers that to me ain't much better than him and are quite famous. And they train for it every day... I'm impressed by this "attempt to sing Opera". To me, they just DID it. 🙂

[@catherinehubbard1167]

What a great comment, it added so much. Thank you!

[@leslieoneal4464]

The HF guys have been asked more than once who the best singer in the group is; without fail, everybody else immediately points at Rob. 😉 Now you know why! Rob actually has a college degree in Vocal Performance with an emphasis/area in Opera. His voice teachers (one of whom I know personally) tried to talk him into going professional, but Rob felt he didn't have the discipline necessary and took a different route (and we are all SO blessed he did!). He did this aria for his Dad who hadn't heard him sing opera in 15 yrs and it brought him to tears. 😭 Austin turned out a very respectable performance, too! He has a lighter, more head resonant voice (where Rob's is more chest resonant). His college major was also Vocal Performance, but with an emphasis in Musical Theater. His vocals are more of a lyrical tenor style which makes his part sound more like a great "crossover". It's actually gaining in popularity amid younger opera lovers. Rob was trained in the classical style as a heroic/operatic tenor. I know they were both nervous about how their fans would receive this. They shouldn't have worried! ❤🎶😳🤯 It hushed a few people who thought they were "just country singers" as if that's somehow a lesser accolade. Lol This performance proved their serious training and ability to sing whatever they choose! 😉👍 Trivia tidbit: Adam Rupp (vocal percussion/co-founder of HF) has a degree in Trumpet Performance! He also plays keyboard, drums, and bass guitar. He's adept at musical arrangement (when the holidays roll around, check out Home Free doing his arrangement of "Do You Hear What I Hear?" It'll blow your mind!). He has a naturally sweet high tenor voice and is a master at harmonizing anything! Tim, who impresses us with his 5 octave range, has pointed out that Adam probably has the widest range in the group! He can soar with gorgeous descant high notes and that "harmonica" he does is actually his voice, just distorted to create the sound effect! Then he can drop the bass freakishly low, as well. That guy isn't human! Lol When God was handing out talent, these 5 guys snuck back into line a few times!! 🤯😉😁

[@beadwright]

I second the request for Do You Hear What I Hear.

[@ronfaulkner3925]

Christmas music out of season drives me nuts, but HF's Do You Hear What I Hear sounds amazing even in September. I see no reason to wait. It's next-level stuff even for these guys. And I'll be seeing and hearing it live in December. 🙂

[@lynfl9814]

You stated the talent of Home Free very well. One of my favorites (I have many) of Home Free videos is, as you mentioned, "Do You Hear What I Hear?" Adam did an absolutely amazing job in that arrangement. The frozen scenery and imagery is incredible, also, in this video.

[@LynnRamsay]

Amazing ain’t they ? The Home Free guys are really supportive of each other and want to help each other show their talents. Rob took opera hasn’t sung it in 15 years and Austin has Musical Theatre You should hear Austin’s Bring Him Home ( Les Misérables) it’s amazing.

[@karinfichtner7479]

Pretty dang awesome though, huh, guys? Austin talked Rob into this, but Rob would only do it if Austin joined him. They practised in separate places, and when Austin heard Rob....he went back and worked on it some more. Great, huh?

[@weaintraisedrightpodcast]

Amazing!

[@anathardayaldar]

Its like Austin really wanted to do this for the longest time, and finaly got a chance to. But he know he couldn't do it alone and convinced Rob to dust off his old past that he thought he left behind. Then Rob said ok, but I'm not embarssing myself to the people who know what to listen for on the high notes. He knew how limited his operatic skills are because he has the knowledge and education to know better. (Reverse Dunning Krueger Effect). So he said to Austin YOU do that and I'll back you up on the lower notes. Rob will fill out the skills base so Austin can shine.

[@bethmashburn5894]

That not the way I heard it. Austin wanted Rob to do it. And he wouldn't unless Austin did it with him.

[@neocelestia]

YES!!! This dropping today was THE best surprise ever!! SO damn happy you two reacted to this!! I'm sure some of the Homefries have commented this already, but as the story goes, Rob was initially reluctant to do this. Austin had to convince him. After Rob was done with his recording, Austin was apparently so blown away by Rob's opera vocals that he went back and re-recorded his part. They absolutely KILLED this and your reactions just made this amazing performance that much better! AJ called it with the harmonization. As Ogre said, that's actually not normally done in Nessun Dorma, but it showed off their flawless blend and just WORKED!! And for not being opera fans, the appreciation you two showed for the sheer talent and skill on display here was awesome to see! Great job as always, guys!

[@weaintraisedrightpodcast]

Thank you!!!

[@roniboyd613]

[@ElizabethRoss-uj8rl]

Thoroughly enjoyed your indoctrination into another aspect of what makes Home Free so darn good! Rob and Austin have provided their talents many times, in many ways, but this one has startled the most seasoned of their followers and fans. Keep digging through their huge, diverse catalog -- you will never be disappointed, and will often be surprised!

[@hayley_council]

This has been a fav for a long time. Rob was so nervous to let this out and every one has been so blown away. Austin said when he heard Rob's part, he had to re-record and up his game. Now, you want to see Austin's training in full display. Try his version of "Bring Him Home" from Le Mis.

[@dianadickerson749]

When we asked them if they planned any more opera,both at that time said NO. A shame.

[@mrsmissy2669]

Very impressive! Did you see the sigh of relief from Austin at the end, take a look at his expression, lol. Rob looked like he owned it. Great reaction guys.

[@LAAvgRay]

Austin decided to rerecord his part after he heard Rob's recording. I am always impressed by these two when I watch this.

[@brendasorenson6186]

Y'all (especially AJ!) have been Rob-smacked! Excellent reaction. And I second the suggestions for Austin's Bring Him Home and HF'S Do You Hear What I Hear.

[@antrazitaj5209]

Austin comes from Musical Theater. He wanted to do this to show of Robs skills. It was certainly a surprise for everybody.

[@virginiawaters955]

Rob is a dramatic tenor, richer with a lot of depth. Austin is a lyric tenor, lighter soaring. My dad had a degree in vocal performance and sang mostly oratorio and opera. He was a lyric, transitioned into dramatic when he was in his 70s, but never lost that soaring quality. His last professional performance was at 92.

[@Cat-fi4ie]

Austin has been trying to get Rob to sing Opera for awhile. The only way he would do it is if Austin would do it with him. Rob is Opera trained. And is a Tenor. Austin is classical trained. As in stage musicals And is High Tenor that's why Austin sings higher then Rob. Great reaction guys.

[@DRHHUB]

In their normal songs, I find that Austin's tenor parts can drown out Rob's lighter tenor. In this one, it is completely reversed. At the end, Rob's voice is just overpowering Austin's.

[@barbarakennedy2667]

​​@@DRHHUBI believe Austin reined back his own voice because he really wanted to showcase Rob's abilities in this performance. He had to talk Rob into doing this opera performance in the first place.

[@Cat-fi4ie]

@@barbarakennedy2667 Rob wanted to be an opera singer. Austin couldn't drown out Rob in opera. He was trained in classical not even close to opera. But this was the only way that Rob would do it was for Austin to join him.

[@ericclayton6287]

Evidently Austin heard Rob’s track and promptly recut his.

[@dwanemarsh4378]

Rob most definitely has a talented Opera voice, and Austin is no slacker. Yes, Austin asked Rob to do this. Rob was hesitant, as he had not sung opera in over a decade. He was also worried about how it would go over with the fans. Well, no worries, as it was a SMASH HIT! Most Home Fries had the same look on their faces that both of you had. Astonished! My first reaction was (besides picking my chin up off the ground); "Say what?"

[@jeannebrown3254]

Your expressions when you saw them in the suits was awesome, but your expressions when Rob started singing was priceless! These two did a fabulous job, and I adored your reactions! Thank you.

[@weaintraisedrightpodcast]

[@JohnBare747]

The boys are singers, period. Anything they had the inclination, time, and training for they could do. That opera singing take decades of training and experience to prefect as it is so specialized and you have no leeway for individually, opera singers are judged on how closely the come to the "standards" of how opera is "supposed to be sung." Rob sounded great and Austin was surprisingly good. Austin did a song on his channel that is perhaps his best performance to date, in my opinion, Check out Austin Brown "Bring Him Home" you won't regret it if you want to see Austin bring his A Game.

[@eacole72]

You will see fans say "Oh, there's Opera Rob!" at different times. His training allows him to be incredibly versatile. The Adam Chance-written original for the video game "Skull & Bones" also takes advantage of all of their respective talents in some new ways. Rob is quite clear: this will not be performed live at a Home Free concert. The warmups for it are antithetical to performing country acapella. He enjoyed it greatly, and there may be more like it in the future, but he doesn't see returning to opera on any regular basis. Also, have to give a shoutout to to Steven Martinez, who provided all of the instrumental. (I feel like Austin looks like he should be playing Don Giovanni in the Mozart opera)

[@weaintraisedrightpodcast]

Skull and Bones is on our list!

[@MikeRittWesternAuthor]

These guys, and I mean all of Home Free, can sing anything. ANYTHING!! I bet they could sing the phone book and it would be epic.

[@bella-xp7qd]

After playing lead in several of his high school productions, Brown went on to pursue a degree in music theater. His first post-college gig was singing on cruise ships, which sent him around the world - but more importantly, led him to Home Free. In 2022, two members of the a capella group Home Free, Austin Brown and Rob Lundquist, did the same. Rob studied opera in his college years, but had not sung opera for fifteen years. Austin, who studied musical theater in college, talked Rob into giving the operatic aria a try, although Rob said he’d do it only if Austin performed with him. This is the result

[@sandrafarley7967]

They wanted Austin to train for opera when he was in college. But he stayed in theater music

Great reaction! This just shows how talented and versatile Home Free is. Rob was trained in opera in college, and Austin was trained in musical theatre. Every reaction I have seen from professional singers, especially trained in opera, all commented immediately that it was very obvious Rob had opera training. A great reaction to Austin is 'Bring Him Home' from Les Miserable. It's on his channel. Broadway is Austin's wheelhouse. Tim's channel is amazing where he shows his 5 octave range. The talent of the guys on Home Free is amazing!

I am not a big opera fan either but have come to love this piece sung by Rob and Austin. I especially enjoy watching how surprised Home Free fans are hearing Rob and Austin "try" to sing opera.

Peter Barber is a fellow reactor and he's also done interviews with Geoff and Tim on his channel. He does reactions and analyses of videos, many of them from Home Free and VoicePlay. He's a professional opera singer and is also a member of a four-man group called The Bass Gang. They invited Tim Foust to join them for an a cappella rendition of Hooked On a Feeling, last made public in the movie Guardians of the Galaxy. Peter hadn't seen the finished product when he did a reaction/analysis of it. That one is so fun to watch and the music video itself is a total treasure. It's a total hoot that, at that point the 4 members of The Bass Gang had never met face to face. They'd send their part of a video to their arranger from the Czech Republic, Egypt, and 2 US states. They are fantastic!

Rob is university classically/operatically trained. It had just been 15 years since he had sung in that genera. Austin is university theatrically trained. So they both have vocal training from a university. Same with the great Basso Profundo, Avi Kaplan, formerly the bass for Pentatonix. He had recently graduated with a vocal degree from a university in California. He had already received a letter of intent to hire him as their Principle Bass from the L.A. Opera House when he got a call from Scott Hoying needing a bass for a new A Capella group forming for the NBC A Capella sing off. Avi had to make a spur of the moment decision and chose the newly forming group or Opera. He chose the new group. He remained with Pentatonix for 6 years before beginning his solo career. He now writes and sings Americana/Folk, Country and Western music. Avi Kaplan Full Moon (Kaplan) kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnqyiaKseK1sm6c You never know what someone's musical training background is.
