![Cody Johnson - I'm Gonna Love You (with Carrie Underwood) [Official Music Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/yy9PuYMU29g/mqdefault.jpg)
Rob's major in college was opera. He last sang it 15 years ago. He could easily sing Opera if he wanted to. Austin graduated in musical theater. That's why Austin Kept looking at Rob. They both were trained differently.
Rob's major was in vocal performance and part of that included training in opera and several other techniques. Rob's voice teacher from when he was in college said that he has the capability to sing any genre professionally. (show tunes, gospel, R&B, opera, etc)
I believe that Austin was watching Rob for his ques, especially the last couple of lines, and while we don't hear the singing we see they'd still be singing it and if they were just going with it they'd get out of time, Rob, with his particular operatic training would know the timing better, even in a custom arrangement so Austin was looking for the moment Rob started to prepare to sing so he could too.
@@davelister2 Right Austin was letting Rob lead this song.
Any university-level voice training begins with classical music. According to legend, Austin's voice teachers really wanted him to specialize in classical music.
@@Brirend it's why Rob is my favorite in home free. His ad libs are off the charts, too. But each member seems to be the best for a particular song. And they collaborate on the choice to lead.
These two, and indeed, all of Home Free are so under appreciated that I'm so glad you agree that they are 2 of the best singers in the biz. Thx for your deconstruction. Loved it.
Such talent ... bravo Rob and Austin ... Home Free includes a remarkable group of individual vocalists !!
Now that you've heard Rob and Austin, go try Tim Foust doing "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow/Stay" (or anything else from his doo wop album).
I'll 2nd that!!
Rob - Classical
Austin - Theatrical Crossover
The two styles meshed surprisingly well to my amateur (untrained) ear.
Thanks for the analysis and reaction. Like to hear from the voice instructors. After hearing the first few notes from alone, I was shocked. I knew he had a powerful voice, but the tone was what took me by surprise. And Austin hitting that high note was glorious along with the very end. Don't worry about us trying to sing, everyone's roaming around singing "Vincero X 3".
Rob bel canto'd the shizzle out of this with a beautiful warm free-spinning chiaroscuro technique. #DropThatLarynxAndBlow!!
No offence to Austin- he hit all the notes, & with some flair as you'd expect from him.... but I'd buy an album of Rob singing popular arias *immediately* :)
The versatility of the guys always fascinates me. They are perfect in everything they touch. I don't know how many times I've listened to it - I'm still speechless! Great reaction!
Great Reaction! I am not a big 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.
Austin was singing classical, Rob was singing opera...it made a lovely crossover.
Austin was a bit too nasal and his larynx was in the wrong location but it didn't matter...it was lovely.
Rob is a powerhouse in everything he does and he would have had a very celebrated opera career if he had wanted.
I'm glad that they both chose to do a capella.
Exactly this! Rob is a real jewel. There is nothing he can't do. Everyone in the group are standouts on their own but Rob is the most skilled and artistic voice in Home Free.
Clearly -- clearly! -- Rob could have pursued a career as an operatic tenor. Austin is unbelievable as well, with a very reedy tenor voice that (as you mention) seems to know no limits. But Rob's rich and elegant tone is just a revelation for me, given that I've always (foolishly!) considered him a "backup" vocalist. He just blows me away here.
Austin's voice reminds me of Michael Crawford when he was first in "Phantom of the Opera." I have kind of moved on from MC's voice, preferring, instead, Ramin Karimloo and John Owen-Jones. But Austin is still dang good with this aria. 😁
All the way from Butts Medley to opera! Only the boys from Home Free!
I've watched a lot of reactions to this recording and I'm always a little surprised that nobody ever mentions my absolute favorite moment: when Rob's left eyebrow lifts as he goes up for that high note on the second syllable of the final "vin-CE-ró." I'm sure it wasn't done consciously--he was simply putting his whole heart into it. Austin is amazing and everyone who's ever heard him knows it, but this was Rob's masterpiece.
Rob! Probably the most under valued member but, integral in ways we are unlikely to see.
If you ask each member of Home Free who the most talented singer is, the other 4 point at Rob. He just likes to sit in his comfort zone.
Rob said he studied classical in college and this is his fathers favorite song, so they did it for him
Knew you’d like this Christi. I’ve watched it numerous times since it came out. They had such a good time doing it. …I was lucky to see Home Free in concert early on, right after they won the SingOff show. (Pentatonix won the prior year). We had meet and greet tix so we were able to spend an hour with the five guys. Very humble and working hard to be among the best a cappella groups . They sure have succeeded! 😊
I would love to see you react to Home Free with The Oak Ridge Boys and Jeffrey East sing Beautiful Star of Bethlehem. This is an old old song and I have heard it probably every Christmas for the last 70 years but I have never heard it done any better than the Oaks and Home Free and Jeffrey East do it. It would be interesting to see your take on this song.
My voice teacher used to tell me the same thing about singing classically even if I’m a contemporary singer. About eight years ago when I was taking lessons, I told her that I wanted to learn how to be a very agile singer with runs and melisma’s. And she said the best way to do that was to just try to sing classically. That was how she learned. I just think it’s interesting you’re saying the same thing. I highly agree with you that the human voice can sing any genre either, I think anybody who truly wants to can you just take the time and learn and practice the technique and they can do it all. Watching these metal singers like Devin Townsend and floor Jansen has shown me that. Heck, even Dimash can sing metal and classical in one song. He’s got the distortion and the rasp and the growls when he wants to.
Rob is insane!! I love Austin and Rob so much!! Home Free!!!!!!
Austin had to talk Rob into doing this. He was hesitant for whatever reason. They both were fabulous! Loved it!
This was lovely! And your reactions of ooh and ah and melt-into-the-chair were on point with mine the first time I'd heard it, and this time, too! Rob is absolutely stunning in this. Love, love, love his operatic voice and the deep, sink-into-it-velvet tenor. It is like rocking in a hammock in the sun. Austin was stunning in his mixed no-ceiling voice (not only in register, but also it sounded kind of half contemporary, half classical, almost). Lovely to listen to. They both did a stellar job! Love the flexibility, and the stretching of their skills (not that I know anything about the training of either, so it is possible that one or both have had classical training. It certainly sounded as if Rob had!). Yes to the value of a wide range training, including classic technique for contemporary singers. Look at Floor and Lara Fabian. They both have classic training, and has become part of their toolbox (totally get it on the snoot-factor, though ... we see it in ballet and contemporary dance, too ...). This was so much fun! Also, waiving at Milo, who seems unimpressed with his stealth position being uncovered. I think he much prefers to be the hidden-pooch-on-lap :) Too cute!
Excellent reaction! Very informative. Thanks!
Their voices complimented each other so well because of the differences in their timbre. Rob is more verging on a higher baritone, who is also a tenor 2, in my opinion; Rob has a voice built to be an operatic tenor with that darker sound. Rob has a crazy range Bb1-G#5, which gives credence to my opinion of him being a baritenor.
As you can see Austin has less of a classical voice because he has less classical training than Rob, so he was more of a crossover sound than Rob. But they both did really really well in their different styles.
❤ your HF reactions!! You make it so much more interesting!! Thank you!
There's only a few people I love to hear sing this song....Austin Brown and Rob Lunquist and David Phelps. I've listened to Pavarotti perform this, and, I didn't care for it. I became an opera fan after attending an opera while I was in Italy. It was amazing! Thank you for your wonderful reaction to Austin and Rob.
Rob is classically trained but had not used those vocal genera in about 15 years.
Austin is theatrically trained. While he does not have the power Rob has, I love the performance of both of them.
Though not in this group. Avi Kaplan is also classically trained and had just been hired by the L.A. Opera House as their Bass the day before Scott of Pentatonix called him needing a bass for the up and coming Pentatonix.
Avi loves A Capella and that was all he needed to hear. His goal was never to be an opera singer but to learn house the voice works and how to properly use it. I suspect Rob and Austin also had those thoughts in mind as they trained as well.
Avi has also headed into a modified country/western genera, of recent.
Here is a recording form the past spring working with and in Shooter Jennings studios.
Avi Kaplan
When I'm a Fool (Kaplan)
ruclips.net/video/LE24UTH3pmQ/видео.html
when the two of them come together at the end. I am so caught up. So powerful.
Robs voice …. OMG!, but I also love Austin’s style. No expert, by any means, however the way his downward slides seem to have a controlled “tumble down”, like a super slow vibrato. Is that his interpretation, or is the piece written to be sung that way?
LOVE IT!
The thing I hear most about Rob is that he doesn’t look like he ought to have that country tenor coming out of him. Now we know why - he looks like he ought to have *this* voice coming out him!
Rob killed it, loved the reaction…get to learn a lot about singing and songs through your channel
The opera singers who have reviewed Rob's performance consider him one of their own. They give Austin high marks for a classical crossover artist, but Rob delivered the real deal!
Hi Christi. This is probably the 30th time I've listened to your reaction of this song. I cried again. (old softy).
I just love these guys ( yet they still won't adopt me ). I will say that like most of the reactors, I found Rob's voice
to be mind blowing and Pavarotti - like. Amazing! But unlike a lot of folks, I loved Austin's voice on this song
just as much.
When I was growing up (60's), my father thought it would be fun on Sat. mornings (early) to put his favorite Opera
singer on the stereo. ( on stun of course ). His favorite was the great Mario Lanza. (I ended up liking him as well)
(Mario, not my father). When I hear Austin, I hear Mario. You certainly have a lot more expertise on this topic,
but would you agree there's some Lanza in Austin's voice? I love his part of the song, and the warmth of his
smile when he sings. Just awesome! (Rob's passion in this song is a real tear creator as well.) And one final thing.
Am I the only one who thinks that Austin (in his Opera duds), looks just like a Nobleman from the 1700's with his
fancy suit and long curly hair? When he's standing in that church, and the camera's at the right angle, Austin looks
like he could be Mozart's buddy. (Just sayin' ). Keep up your wonderful reactions and I'll look forward to tearing up at the next one.
Unbelievable you haven’t reacted yet to Emma Kok singing “Voila” together with Andre Rieu’s Johann Strauss Orchestra …… you wil be amazed by her stunning voice and unbelievable presence on the stage
I've heard this dozens of times, but still cannot get over Rob's classical deep, barrel chested voice and flawless refrains. Austin's crossover approach allows his natural talent to shine. Both favored their vocal abilities and blended marvelously. Great reaction as always!
ALWAYS LOVED THAT SONG. HOW DID YOU KEEP FROM TEARING UP DURING THAT BEAUTIFUL RENDITION? BILLY BOY
two country singer SING opera not try they DO IT
they have beautiful voices and i love home free and opera also
An excellent analysis of an outstanding piece and performance. Another fantastic piece by an incredible artist you may not have heard of (and would encourage you to check out) is John Farnham ‘You’re the Voice’ live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. ruclips.net/video/6m2m_9Uijso/видео.html
I guess you've never reacted to Norway's national treasure, Sissel. I've heard her sing effortlessly Opera, Folk, Pop, Gospel and Contemporary music in several languages. Pie Jesu, My Tribute, Crying in the Chapel, O Helga Natt (O Holy Night) in Swedish...
I cry like a baby every time she sings Going Home from the New World Symphony by Dvorak. ❤
I was truly blessed to see her in concert and meet her afterwards.
Next reaction Isyana X Lyodra - Conte Pertiro
Wow.
Everybody Dies to Country-n-Puccini, one one week.
I'm impressed, Christi !!
the best I can do, is Devin Townsend-with-emphysema.
Unbelievable indeed! Your smile during your reaction is also unbelievable. Loved your feedback and looking forward to more of your reactions.
Loved your analysis ! For more opera in surprising places, check out Ali Project - God Diva; Carole and Tuesday - Bulldog Anthem; and Yuri!!! on Ice - Stammi Vicino (you can find it on the OST w/o video, or in Episode 1 from 13:04-17:17 if you want the visuals and some context)
Every time we think we've heard the limits of Home Frees' talents and skills, they just keep raising the bar. My favorite musical group. It was exciting to hear them enlarge their repertoire, yet again. Loved this. Thanks for the great reaction.
So beautiful! I loved it,
Love these guys. Glad you reacted to them. Home free is just awsome
So happy you did this 💓 💗
Thanks for another great reaction. What a nice corpus you have given us.
Wow
HELLO BEAUTIFUL, Just a comment on your smile and positive energy, your Cakra Kahn reactions were epic, he is AMAZING and so are you, THANK YOU. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL
I think you're the BEST Vocal Couch on RUclips because you watch the videos in its entirety before you deconstruct it. However, I still don't understand why you have NEVER considered deconstructing Home Free's version of "Do You Hear What I Hear?" from about 7 or 8 years ago. I've tried to suggest it to you MANY TIMES.The thing is that you NEED to listen to it ALL THE WAY THROUGH FIRST in order to get the full impact of it.
Check this out: JARKKO AHOLA NESSUN DORMA MTV3 (Only 2 min. 44 sec.)
It is from a TV format where singers from different genres have to sing all kinds of songs - heavy, pop, disco, opera... It is a friendly competition, not too serious but one singer has to leave after each episode decided by the vote of the viewers.
Jarkko is a heavy rock singer, who has never taken singing lessons, but I think he does a great job singing opera style. The boss lady of The Finnish National Opera agrees with me. You can see her reaction in the middle of the performance and after! She was one of the judges.
Merry Yuletide!
I loved this song. Rob was amazing, and Austin brilliant. Another artist who can sing almost any genre and did, is Aussie John Farnham. He's definitely a contemporary singer and has been singing since the 60's. He can sing Rock'n'Roll, pop, Soul & theatre. From You're the Voice to Help with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra to ACDC'S Long way to the top to Led Zeppelin's Black Dog to Granada with Anthony Warlow Australia's Phantom of the Opera to Gethsemane from Jesus Christ Superstar. Then you've got When something is wrong with my baby with Jimmy Barnes. Try to watch his live performances as his charisma and connection to his audiences show through along with his singing skill and natural talents. ❤
next please check & live react to *"Agseisa - While I Look At You (Miley Cyrus cover)*
or *Novia Bachmid - Beggin' (cover)*
both artist are Indonesian with unique vocal (imo). in Indonesian traditional music genre called dangdut & campursari, we have vocal technique named *"cengkok"* maybe in English you call it lick or run
Please check out Simon Khorolskiy's video, 'Poor Wayfaring Stranger - Epic Version Feat. Chris Rupp', Chris Rupp is a former member of Home Free and their beatboxer's brother. He left Home Free (amicably) to pursue a solo career and was succeeded by Adam Chance. The song is amazing and, I didn't *know* that I needed to hear a couple verses of Wayfaring Stranger in Russian until it happened.
New sub here! Loved your reaction and breakdown. You really must react to their cover of Dire Straits Brothers in Arms. I was in tears. It was powerful! Absolutely fabulous vocals and harmonies! And Tim Foust! OMG! I didn't know anyone could sing that low!
Hey! I've just been watching your videos reacting to Monica Naranjo.
Now I would like to present you another Catalan singer, well, lots actually, it's a collab, but she is the queen that rules this song: she represented Spain in Eurovision 1989 with the song "Nacida para Amar" (Born to love), she took the role of Donna Sheridan in the Spanish version of the musical Mamma Mia and she is a vocal coach as well, in fact, she was the director of the academy in that TV Talent Show you first saw Monica Naranjo singing Europa by the way. Anyway, I'm talking about the one and only, Nina.
Here you have the song I want you to react to:
ruclips.net/video/g_Smki5s3aY/видео.html
Here you have some different and interesting voices you can react to, not just Nina.
Nice video! Best regards from Barcelona!
I've watched Pavarotti sing this one, but he doesn't seem to do the body language that Rob does. Rob's got the opera voice plus the emoting, while Austin doesn't have quite the voice placement for this, but still sounds and looks amazing. One of Home Free's strengths is their ability to make you FEEL the music. Plus, the boys do clean up right pretty, don't they?
Please..can you react to judika with deo entertainment "I will always love you" or judika feat lyodra "the prayer".. Thanks alot of with u..
RUclips has only now suggested your channel to me, so I'm a bit late to this party. I agree that Rob and Austin are two of the best singers today! I love your recognition of the value, and the encouragement of, training those classical techniques. Thank you! Maybe reactions like yours, along with Rob and Austin, can introduce opera to a younger and/or less-exposed audience! I'm trained in choir and piano, and am a long-time loyal Home Free fan.
(Italian language, sorry) Padroneggiare l'Arte del canto lirico prevede decine di anni di studio e pratica. Vedasi per confronto l'interpretazione magistrale di Pavarotti. Comunque complimenti ai due cantanti (anche se il secondo non è tenore) Best regards
One thing about classical singing is that because I don't understand the lyrics, I can enjoy the emotions and intricate details of the voice itself. But the biggest drawback of classical music is that I don't understand the words. And I have no intention of learning multiple languages just to comprehend the lyrics, and when classical songs are translated to English, they often lose their original quality. Similarly, English songs might also lose something when translated to other languages. While I can enjoy an occasional classical performance, it is not part of my daily music playlist.
Hi Christi How's the Heart ❤️. I Love this. Sorry I missed Saturday. HUGS. Looking great. Floor's Album called Paragon is on pre save and pre order and almost out. I knew you would like it. I heard somewhere that Robb is the best singer in the group I Love Floor sing O Mio Bambino Caro at her Revamp Concert. Tarja is amazing in her Classical music. Live u Christi
Tim Foust ‐ Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow / Stay! if you still want to hear tim's range this is amazing!
The clash between Classical and Contemporary styles is very evident in the competition format as seen in the various nations participation in The Voice. Often times a contestant will sing Opera or a Theatrical piece and it's rare to get an all chair turn let alone even two chairs. The comments frequently made when all the judges turn after the piece is over is, "I think you sound really good, but I don't know what to do with you." This is due to the production companies main focus on Pop music and hence the choice of judges. To me these often times Pop Music icons who are utilized not only as judges, but also instructors are essentially displaying artistic cowardice. The irony though is the audience at these events have more appreciation and no bias by the way they respond to these wonderful performances. When the winners go on tour I'm sure the production entity is wondering whether or not they can get a packed house in all the arenas they are required to fulfill for a years touring engagement.
Excited that you appreciate the scope of talent these guys have! Another singer I would love you to hear is Lucy Thomas one of the best singers I have ever heard. She is only 19 and has been singing her whole life. Her little sister is amazing too and they do duets together. Thanks!
these are guys who cometimes sing country music, they are part of the acapella band Homfree. they are not "country" singers
I learned this truth when my friend sang a contemporary sing for the first time. I had only heard his operatic voice as he grew. I had thought until then he couldnt do anything else. Such good advice you have given for all singers. You dont have to perform it, just try it and imorove youe voice.
Tim Foust has recommended to bass singers that they can improve their bass by exercising their voices in higher ranges. You should check out Tim's solo "Will You Still Love Me \ Stay" to see him practice what he preaches.
Please look at mood video revelation by Diana Ankudinova whis her music and lyrics
Perhaps, opera singing has been thought of as the pinnacle of the singing experience.
Before electronics was used for sound, the sound in a theatre was the closest thing to magnified sound, and opera singers were taught to project without assistance.
But now, opera misses out on the advantages of this technology, as it tends to hang on to earlier traditions.
Having the modern electronic adjusted sound has made many singers get by without all that training.
But listening to these cross style singers that are breaking out of the ordinary standards is truly amazing, and in many cases a soundgasm.
💥👌
you should listen to a RUclips clip called "Britney does opera?"...Britney Slates from Unleash the Archers, and Fang von Wrathenstein from Lords of the Trident"....they were having a conversation on Skype; both got into the wine, and wound up doing "Brindisi" from La Traviata.....it was amazing......classical music and opera are heavy metal without electricity
I've missed you Christy. Great reaction. 😘👌
Like your analysis. Rob us versatile as a sing. He's a chameleon.
React Gabriel Henrique Fly Like A Bird, please
Wait a minute ... is Milo actually a meerkat? Where's the rest of his mob?
Rob could’ve had a truly successful career in opera!
LOL.... they walked in and basically said... hold my beer and did it!
peace
Have you done group firme they have many songs give them I listen
Opera with a little Southern twang added. Who knew
Oh. BTW. I have a request. Hurt by Johnny Cash.
when you said Turandot, I realized, it was also used in the Theater fight, with Ethan and the Assassin
In case you thought these guys couldn't sing, take this!
They did more then try. Amazing. Love your hair
Anyone can sing opera and do so, nothing special at all with opera, a song is a song.
In a word DAMN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You look beautiful Christy
You need to hear Dan Vace sing this song
Milo is awesome !! Rob had opera training in college, but hasn't sung any for about 15 years....until Austin asked him to be a part of this project. Amazing and stunning but after that shock wore off, I wasn't really surprised as I have a lot of respect for what these men can do with their voices. Thanks for reacting to it Kristi....Merry Christmas ! 🧑🎄🎅🎄
Not even a little shocked these two can do this.
I’ve never heard it sound better.
So, now you really have to do more Home Free. You're missing out on an incredible a capella vocal band. They're mainly country, but they can, and do, sing everything. Life is too short to miss anything these men sing. Your next listen should be Adam's arrangement of Do You Hear What I Hear? since it's so close to Christmas. There is nothing else like it. Butts Remix for their humor, and Auld Lang Syne for New Year's Eve. Don't skip Home Free. Your ears will never forgive you.
_______________. Oh hell. I'm going to post my spiel, the one I use for noobs. __________. And...another one falls down the rabbit hole. You are so fucking doomed. We'll save you a chair.
You're about to be buried in Home Fries.
Home Free is the only country a capella group out there, but they can - and do - sing every genre. And they have no lead singer. Every one of these men can take the lead, and they pick the lead for each song by who does it the most justice. During quarantine, they kept all us Home Fries sane by dropping new videos every couple of weeks. God bless ‘em.
All the men can beat box, but Adam is in a league of his own. He's a two-time world champion and there're good reasons he's called a "Freak of Nature" and “the man who swallowed a drum kit.” For more of Adam's incredible beat boxing, check out Sea Shanty medley (the man makes castanets, for Pete's sake), his no-monica solo on Working For A Living and Ain't Going Down Til The Sun Comes Up (that video is on Facebook), and his drum solos.
For more of Tim's seismic basso profundo, listen to Brothers In Arms, Misty Mountains (his collaboration with Peter Hollens), Folsom Prison Blues, or Ring Of Fire (the Sing Off version).
For Chance's smooth baritone, check out Down to the Honky Tonk, Brothers In Arms, and Folsom Prison Blues. (Awesome.. basso profundo and a baritone/bass in the same group.) FYI, Chance is singing (throat singing) the jaw harp sounds - without the jaw harp - in Man Of Constant Sorrow.
For Rob's soulful tenor, check out End of the Road, Blue Ain't Your Color, or Bless The Broken Road. (Blue-eyed soul is in good hands with The Beard.)
For Austin's soaring power tenor, check out Crazy, Moonshine, When A Man Loves a Woman, or Bring Him Home. (But bolt down your chair ‘cause he'll sing you right out of it.)
For their humor, check out Butts Remix, Working For A Living, Between A Rock And A Heartache, Make You Feel My Love, Brother, and Champagne Taste on a Beer Budget.
For their amazing arrangement skills, check out Do You Hear What I Hear. (Adam's arrangement. Nothing else like it.)
For their tight harmonies, check out Helplessly Hoping, How Great Thou Art, Brothers In Arms, or Auld Lang Syne.
For their mashups, check out Thinking Out Loud/Let's Get It On, Fishing in the Dark/Boondocks, Country Fried Pop, or Woman, Amen/Female.
For more of their wonderful collaborations, check out God Bless the USA with Lee Greenwood, American Pie with Don McLean, Elvira with The Oak Ridge Boys, Children Go Where I Send Thee with the late Kenny Rogers, Don’t Laugh At Me with Mark Wills, Christmas In Dixie with Alabama, or Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For with Peter Hollens.
Get at least five videos under your belt and then listen to Mayday - the official video. After Mayday, you'll be ready for Tim and Austin doing My Maria or Tim's mashup of Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow/Stay.
Then, when you come up for air, check out Rob and Austin singing Nessun Dorma. You'll need smelling salts after that one.
Don't miss their official videos. The Home Free men will often do a straight, gorgeous vocal performance, but they'll add elements of humor to the video that will leave you chuckling or even laughing out loud. (Folsom Prison Blues, Between A Rock And A Heartache, Make You Feel My Love, Working For A Living, Brother).
Their synergy is phenomenal. Each is an artist in his own right, but man - when they sing together, magic happens. Wicked talent polished by decades of hard work. (Unchained Melody, Castle On The Hill, Seven Bridges Road) To paraphrase another Home Fry, “They don't just own a cover, they upgrade it.”
You are doomed, Home Fry. Bring ketchup.
Wow! thank you for your wonderful reaction and expertise in discussing their unbelievable voices. Going from County to Opera Classic singing is a God gift that we are blessed to hear them perform. God has many angles and I believe that these two are his gifts to us to enjoy and hold into our memories for ever. Thank you again for your kindness and excellent observation of their God given talents. I have sung Bass and Lead in a Barbershop Quartet for 26 years now. I am always learning from listening to others like Home Free! Blessings!
Such a treat! But seriously, Rob sounds like a different artist than we hear when he sings with Home Free!
I don't care for opera, but these two "tried" and did what I didn't expect--they made me want to watch it over and over again. Who knew? 🤭
Milo is a pretty puppy 🤗❤
I think it's wonderful of Austin to use his channel as a showcase for Rob's talent. Rob had more classical training than Austin, who focused on Musical Theater, and yet he allowed (and even encouraged) his friend and bandmate to shine on his channel.
Rob and Austin kills this. Rob's voice is amazing. Rob studied opera in college.❤️
Milo is adorable
