Rob’s college degree is in opera and Austin has a musical theater degree but also studied opera for a time in college. Up until this video, Rob hasn’t sang opera in 15 years and credits Austin for talking him into doing this. This was Austin’s way of showcasing Rob’s opera training.
Rob studied opera in college, and Austin was classically in college...this was these dudes taking a chance out of their normal realms, and I too think they succeeded !!
I often think that every member of Home Free awakens in the morning with the single thought of "How can we shock everyone this time?"
You mentioned The Butts. You will see nothing there to remind you of anything that they have done that you have seen before.
Shock and awe!
You have found yourself exposed to the best a capella group ever. 5 part harmonies in How Great Thou Art, Brothers in Arms,and Helplessly Hoping-a capella at its finest. Their harmonies are tight and fit together perfectly. Though billed as a country band,they sing all genres. They became a country band at the Sing Off. Live performances are as good as the videos. I'm giving you a link to a performance they did in a tent for the fans when the show was cancelled due to severe weather. You can hear the power in Rob and Austin's voice. This was done with no microphones,just voice projection.

wow, stunning!!! thanks for sharing that link, that was so beautiful. loved hearing Rob and Austin in particular, after getting to know them a bit better in Nessun Dorma.
Rob has opera training Austin doesn’t but he does have some classical training and theater training. Austin has a solo of Bring Him Home you might want to check out
Ooh, I bet he's dynamite on that, thanks for the suggestion!
@@YourOnlineSingingCoach It’s on his personal channel, FYI.
Austin studied opera in college too.
@@dtyodeller Many people don't seem to understand that opera is a genre of classical music, so anyone with classical training can sing opera.
@@roberthudson1959 Formula One is a genre of automobile racing, so anyone with a driver’s license can drive one.
This one has me convinced that Rob's a chameleon. He sounds completely different in this than in anything else I've heard him do. When he sings blues, he's a blues singer. When he raps, he's a rapper. When he sings pop, he's a pop singer. When he sings country, he's a country singer. This is just an example of how deep the talent is in Home Free. Each of the guys in the group is willing to step back and let others shine even though each and every one of them is top notch talent.
After the "Butts Remix/Medley", maybe check out Home Free's cover of "End of the Road" to see yet another side of Rob.
He is the groups resident whistler too.
You have to admire the courage it takes for 'country' singers to tackle something like opera. These guys are not afraid to push out of their comfort zone.
I would suggest that you try listening to Tim Faust (the one you said was the lead singer in Forever and Ever Amen) singing Misty Mountains with Peter Hollens. Then listen to Tim Faust sing Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow/Stay. It will give you a much greater concept of his 5 octave range.
Other Home Free songs are
Man of Constant Sorrow
End of the Road
When A Man Loves A Woman
Ring of Fire with Avi Kaplan
Amazed
Do You Hear What I Hear
From Here To The Moon and Back featuring an upcoming country singer Maggie Baugh. She is in her very early 20's and plays multiple instruments. She began playing classical violin at age 2, by age 7 she was performing on stage at Carnegie Hall. She has an amazing voice as well.
Did you notice Austin's sigh of relief after the final "Vincerò", right before the closing of the video? 🙂
They've been so brave to cover this "aria". AND they did a wonderful job.🙂
Rob had some Opera training, but he didn't sing anything Opera in the last 15 years. 🙂
Austin had some classical training as well, but not really Opera. 🙂
Yet, they both were surprisingly good.
Thank you for your reaction and explanations. 🙂
Awesome reaction & analysis, I enjoyed it... Liked and Subb. Thank you!
I must say that my request for you is mind blowing, Please try this 4th Impact sings "Bridge Over Troubled Water (So Hyang Version)" Thanks.

Home Free is always throwing us a curve and they never cease to amaze.
To me this is Austin's way of highlighting Rob's talent.
Austin sent a lot of time trying to get Rob to do this. Austin is so proud of Rob. Catch the side glances Austin makes to Rob. Austin wasn't there for himself. He was there for Rob.
If you want to hear unmatched harmonies and a soft driving deep bass to pound home an emotional song listen to "Brothers in Arms." If you want to hear that sweet southern yodel, swamp sounds, and imaginary southern instruments like the jaw harp and harmonica, listen to "Man of Constant Sorrow." If you want a pick-me-up without that pot of coffee you need "Listen to the Music." More impecable harmonies are "Auld Lang Syne," "How Great Thou Art," and "The sound of Silence." Another pick-me-up is Try Everything (Zootopia) Feeling patriotic? Home Free partners up with Lee Greenwood and the USAF Singing Sargents "God Bless the USA."
Overload, I know, but they have so many songs to choose from. Good luck in that rabbit hole. 😄
Great reaction. I’ve found a new reactor! Home Free has over 200 videos/songs available and you’ll need to do many of them to see the different genres they address - from the ridiculous to the sublime. Please do more. We Home Fries will flock to you and bring many subscribers; thousands🔥✌️
Thank you! I'm making a list of the song titles mentioned most in the comments, I'm excited to hear more Home Free!
I don’t know how many times I’ve seen this video. I knew Rob would be great, but I was unprepared for HOW great he is. If Rob ever makes an opera album, I’m here for it! Some HF suggestions: “End of the Road”, Rob lead, and he’s at his soulful best. “I Can’t Outrun You”, Chance lead(baritone/bass), pure 5 part harmony,and hauntingly beautiful. Chance also directed the video. “Castle On the Hill” and “Take Me Home Country Roads”. Another beautiful Chance lead is “Cover Me Up”, a soul stirring rendition with subtle percussion by Adam Rupp.
Great reaction! I'll never look at Rob or Austin the same again! If you react to the Butts Remix next, please be prepared for whiplash! Welcome to the HF rabbit hole. Subbing for more Home Free.
I've seen many of their live shows, Rob's voice has so much clarity and Austin has great dynamic power behind his vocals.
I love Home Free and love this operatic performance.
Hello beautiful, how're you doing today.?
Love these guys!
Some Home Free recommendations;
"End of the Road" a great Boys to Men cover and one of their best.
"When a Man Loves a Woman" for a little romance.
"Brothers in Arms" and "How Great Thou Art" for 5 part harmonies where Adam Rupp sings instead of beat boxing.
"Seven Bridges Road" or "Helplessly Hoping" for more incredible harmonies.
"Blue Ain't Your Color" or "Folsom Prison Blues" for a different take on country songs.
"The Butts Remix" and "Country Fried Pop Medley" for a laugh.
"Mayday" but don't listen to this until after you get to know these guys.
"In the Blood", "My Church", "Ring of Fire", "Man of Constant Sorrow" because they are just really great songs.
Great reaction coach! Great pick-ups on placement and depth of tone. Over on Austin's channel he shows off his magical talent of musical theater with "Bring Him Home." Chance is able to show off his whiskey baritone/bass with a duet on a song called "Wayfaring Stranger." Your eyes will become golf balls.
Nice! Do appreciate that! Austin, we've learned "some" from his channel on his sound and ability. Rob -- ROB, on the other hand ... He's an absolute BEAST!!! No matter "where ya put him". Ummm -- very surprised but not surprised, if that makes sense. Rob taking lead in HF shows us a lot (where he can go and sound) ie. Colder Weather vs Butts Remix vs End of the Road. This reveals so much more! (as you'll learn : ) ... These guys, no walking away from, that's for sure! Be Safe
Obviously our country boys from Home Free did a great job.❤️❤️
So good. I was expecting to be rickrolled and then this happened. I love Home Free. We knew they had good voices but I didn’t know they could project like this. Rob studied opera in college but that was years ago. Austin studied musical theater. Good reaction. They have so many good songs….try Helplessly Hoping, In the Blood, The Driver, Die a Happy Man. 😃
Thank you so much for reacting to this ❤️ there's nothing they can't do. I'm liking the crossover
Hello beautiful, how're you doing today.?
I think when she does see the butts medly will be hard to mesh these two with their silly rolls in that song. But like otheres here i apreciate the all vocal songs like “how great thou art” and “brothers in arms”. The latter being bass and baritone lead that iss haunting yet beautiful
Great Reaction! I have never been a fan of opera except maybe some Andrea Bocelli & a few others. But I have always appreciated the talent it takes to sing opera. I was pretty impressed with Rob & Austin's version of Nessun Dorma. I have heard this famous song done by Pavarotti. I think I was more surprised by Rob's range & powerful delivery than even Austin's. Pretty good for a couple of country boys! Nice to see them dressed up in suits & looking classy.
Andrea Bocelli non è un tenore della lirica. Lui è un tenorino, quasi buono per conzoni popolari.
I too love Nessun Dorma and have listened to various professional opera singers perform it - I really do think they were as good as a lot of them (and better than some!). Another surprising Home Free video is "Full of Cheer" (a Christmas song written by Tim Foust - the bass).
My favorite song is "Helplessly Hoping" .. They have amazing harmonies.
Rob has the tone as a baritone who expanded his range to sing tenor.
The appreciation for the talent level of Home Free continues to grow legendary status with the excellence in so many different genres. All five of these guys are extraordinary gifted talents that collectively exceed any group I have encountered in vocal performance with the diversity they bring to their performances. Looking forward to seeing them live again in concert this coming December. ❣🎼🎶🎵🎼
I keep running into that face of surprise, enjoyment,amazement and shock,as I travel from reactor to reactor and I've seen the same thing, they both were very nervous about how well this would go over with their fans. Rob study opera in college but hasn't sung it 15 years and Austin has his musical theater background. I enjoyed your reaction as well.
Wunderbar die Zwei .
und die Haare von Austin sind der Hammer.🤩
I really enjoyed this reaction and look forward to more reactions to Home
Free. If you continue to react to Home Free, you might want to consider giving them their own playlist. I didn't see one for them.
We home fries love our home free ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
"Nessun Dorma" ( No one shall sleep ) from the opera "Turandot" is one of the most frequently performed classical arias, sung by most of the great , ( and near great ) operatic vocalists
Rob is sending me back to the Opera House. I live so far away from a proper Opera House now but I am planning to go see an opera in May.
You made it much more fun than my past experience in watching this. Thank you.
They killed this. Rob and Austin are so awesome. Home Free are very diverse! You need to check out other songs they do. Love your reaction!
This was awesome. Thank you ^_^
One thing I've wondered about, that I've not heard anyone make a note of (so maybe it's not a thing) but I wonder if a part of the difference in their sounds might come from the fact one (Rob) has a large chest, one (Austin) has a much smaller chest. One would think the sound reverberating out of those two different sized chests would sound different. I know Rob has classical opera training and Austin's training was in musical theater, which would lean towards their strengths.
Thanks for bringing this up, and you're absolutely correct that body type influences the sound we create (though there are always exceptions to the sounds we expect to hear from certain body types). I did an interview with Elizabeth Zharoff ( @thecharismaticvoice here on YT) on this very topic, check it out here: www.youronlinesingingcoach.com/blog/how-your-physical-body-effects-your-voice
Like your happy. It's great!
Oh, goody, another reactor/analyzer to watch. Really wish you would've done the 'Butts Remix' first. Guess the contrast is going to be huge either way. And here come Laurel and Hardy trying opera. Or is Akroyd and Belushi? Are YOU ready? Great job, thanks!
Great analysis. Rob definitely is a chameleon.
You should definitely listen to the version of Nessun Dorma by MANOWAR 🤘🏼
I read that Austin wanted Rob to sing this but Rob wouldn't do it unless Austin sang with him. Wow! It's not Pavarotti, but who else is?
I have viwed countless reaction to this. A common theme of most was "Rob!" And justifiably so -- very well deseved! But often it seemed to imply that "Austin was OK." Given the difference in their training backgrounds, this was predictable. Nevertheless, I feel that Austin's performance was outstanding as well. If Austin ever reads this, I would say two things. 1) I have a lot of respect for you putting forth your friend in this arrangement, knowing, as you must have, what the "critics" would probably say. 2) Know that you are a great sing er in your own right. I have no doubt that, if you wished to take a side path from your main road, you could develop the ability to place your voice differently, add another kind of vibrato, etc. To both Rob and Austin -- I love you seperately, together, and everyone in Home Froo. Y'all bring important emotional musical stories of all kinds to all audiences. In this way, you are like Eva Cassidy was - no matter in what genre she was singing a particular song, when you listened, you felt that it was her "true" genre. Same for Home Free. What could be better than that?
Great review. thx. I subscribed to your channel soon as I saw how smart and knowledgeable you were. But you have to check out Home Free doing Helplessly Hoping of Man of Constant Sorrow to get a better feel for their range of talent. Cheers. I'm dying to hear your analysis of their talent. Oh and Brothers in Arms is excellent too.
Thanks for the suggestions, I'm making a list :)
Robs operatic training is evident but where do you get training in the art of rap?😳
If you want something new check out will ramos cover of hypnosis or his cover of recreant by Chelsea grin :)
Would they have recorded in the church? Probably in a studio
There are a couple of classical crossover versions that I enjoy listening to, one is a live PBS recording of Jackie Evancho, ruclips.net/video/csjIrNbAtEA/видео.html
The other is David Phelps ruclips.net/video/aaSDNH5Azi8/видео.html David is a contemporary Christian artist and one of the most powerful non- operatic tenors I have ever heard! You should listen to his version of oh holy night. Fasten your seat belt and give it a listen! ruclips.net/video/ElJ0fiD0lkc/видео.html
I would love to hear your interpretation and analysis of both versions of Nessun Dorma. neither is trying to strictly put forth a Pavarotti clone cover since they are classical crossover versions. First reactions would be most fun to see you provide for all three videos above!
David phelps nessum dorma
Not to bad for two ole’ country boys……
I'm sorry, but it's all Greek to me...
I didn't understand a word of it!
Don't like you talking over them.
It's a reaction and analysis. If you don't want her talking over it, go to the original.
Worst video for Home Free that you could have made for your first.
Mamma mia! Povero Puccini.
