This shows the bloody brilliance of every single member! Totally amazing and best Christmas song ever.
This is the result of letting Adam Rupp arrange music.
In addition to his vocal talents, Adam Rupp is one heck of an arranger huh?! The guys say that his arrangements are just very intricate and challenging but could we expect anything else from him!
Yes! He's such a perfectionist, & this shows it perfectly 🥰 ❤❤
Best rendition of this song bar NONE!!!
It is a crying shame that Home Free doesn't get Radio play in the USA. They have the best versions of EVERY Christmas song they have done.
Adam seems to be phenomenal at everything he does. I fully expect to see a video of him soon, beatboxing whilst doing brain surgery and solving the whole Middle East mess.
guess why Adam Rupp doesn't arrange more often for Home Free.....Because his arrangements are so complex and difficult. It is absolutely stunning. All of these guys are just next level talented and skilled. No matter what they put their focus on, it turns out to be stellar. The performance of this was fabulous, as well. The intro beat boxing is the essence of winter. Ice crunching, the sharp intake of breath when you first go out into the really cold weather, the frigid wind. Really sets a mood, doesn't it?! By the way, Adam does a solo version of Carol of the Bells in his solo sets at the live shows that is jaw dropping. You can find a fan video of it on You Tube. Great reaction, as usual. It was the same reaction I had the first time I heard it. WTH is happening? How can anything be this fantastic and so different??!! lol
Oh, this done live is electric ! The best rendition ever, thanks Adam Rupp for this phenomenal arrangement!
I love how Austin comes in like an angel with his little wail as you called it. @8:13
This is my favorite Christmas song of theirs for sure. I’ve heard them sing it live twice and it was incredible. Tim’s low notes vibrated your whole body. Well done to Adam
LOL I call those low Tim notes “Tim’s basement”
You will love Tim in his solo cover of "Why Do Fools Fall in Love?"
Thank you, and Teri, for highlighting this one! It's a Rupp masterpiece and a favorite Home Free (no matter the season)! Your reaction was priceless, and made my enjoyment of the song new all over again!
I was never fond of this song - until Home Free's rendition of it. Naturally, the singing & harmonies are terrific and Adam's arrangement of it and beatboxing are out of this world (he truly must be an alien). Thanks for playing this & your comments. If you haven't yet heard "Beautiful Star of Bethlehem" (with Jeffrey East & The Oak Ridge Boys) and "Christmas in Dixie" (with Alabama) they're must-sees.
Christmas in Dixie is the only Christmas song on my playlist all year
So, y'all got hit by the Home Free Curse too? They'll cover a song you absolutely cannot stand and make you like it against your will. I got hit with it four times before I gave up and quit counting. Welcome to the club. We have a secret handshake.
I grew up with the choral version of this song. (And if you were in choir in the 70's, you know the arrangement that I'm talking about.) I absolutely hated that song. Home Free has totally made over this song, and now it's one of my favorites.
I grew with Bing Crosby's version and thought that was the height of perfection. Boy was I wrong. Home Free blows it away. ❤
Man, I couldn't wait for Christmastime just to see you react to this one! So glad it's happening. It's my favorite HF song, period. Adam Rupp is a helluva musician, not just a beatboxer. Can't wait!
Absolutely with you. This should be great.
This one is on every playlist I have, no matter genre or time of year. It is simply a masterpiece and I refuse to listen to any other rendition by anyone else. I have found the pinnacle and I am satisfied. ♥️
This is an Adam Rupp arrangement, and it is the best version I've ever heard. Two more must hear carols covered by Home Free are "O Holy Night" and "Angels We heave Heard on High".
I recently heard them perform this live and was spectacular . My sisters and I agreed this was our favorite Christmas song they sang. Great reaction as usual.
This is the 3rd song I heard by HF. 5 years ago I finally decided to check out these guys who were all over RUclips. I never expected to love an a cappella group. Well, first it was “Man of Constant Sorrow”- had to listen several times. Then “How Great Thou Art “- one of my favorite hymns- and had to listen several times. I was becoming a Home Fry. Then came “Do You Hear What I Hear?”. I was officially hooked. This is one of my favorites by them. I suggest that you react to “Angels We Have Heard On High “- Angelic Rob leads off, and the arrangement is stunning. And if you want more Christmas songs that are not a typical arrangement, I highly recommend Home Free Hosanna concert 2013 singing the carol “Joy To the World “. (This in the video title). Gospel Rob has the lead, and he really cuts loose. It’s a jazzy, funky arrangement, and there’s even a fun beatbox breakdown. I think you’ll LOVE it!
It's a little haunting with all the echoes in the ice cavern. Add a funky beat with an intricate rhythm and beautiful harmonies, and now you have awesomeness. Normally, you'd hear this performed by a church choir with lovely harmonies, but no percussion. Once you hear this version though, it's hard to go back to the original. They just released a new song called Christmas in LA that has some of that same funky vibe. I think you'd really enjoy it😊.
You are seeing/feeling the results of a song arranged by Adam 😊
And don't worry, we expect the pauses 😂
I listen to this year round and is my fave Christmas song from Home Free or anyone❤
Thank you Teri💖
Austin’s ‘wailing’ is a descant, a distinct melody sung above the main melody. Yes, this is astounding. Home Free says they won’t let Adam arrange any more songs because of the complexity of this one.
I normally dislike "strange" (as in non-traditional) arrangements of Christmas carols. However, this is hands-down my favorite HF Christmas carol. Absolutely love the complexity of it. I heard HF sing this live 2 yrs ago, and my ear still remembers Tim's "Gold..." I'd be afraid to put it on the radio because Tim's bass notes might break the speakers! Then there's Austin's angelic voice floating over the top. Sigh. Just incredibly beautiful... 😊
That gives me chills everytime! This is my all time favorite song!! Enjoyed your reaction hun! Looking forward to more! 🤗
For me one of the best arranged songs, or perhaps the best, of Home Free. So impressive! The phenomenal beatboxing/vocal percussion , the overwhelming bass(notes), the great harmonies, the sound effects, colors, etc. in such a beautiful but cold scenery. I could listen and watch this all the time. A lot happens, but not that it is disturbing. Just amazing.
Such an exceptional arrangement by Home Free's own wizard and incomparable vocal percussionist, Adam Rupp ⛄🪄🎄
And such a nice treat to hear Chris Rupp's smooth baritone getting some focus❣️🎼🥰🎶♥️
#HomeFree #WorldsBestBeatboxer #HomeFreeDoesChristmasBest
Yeah, definitely a favourite and I look forward to new reactors discovering it every year. CHEERS!!
#HOMEFREE,,,,,,great reaction!
This is in my YEAR-ROUND playlist; it's THAT GOOD! 🔥🔥🔥
Adams arrangement on this song blew me away. So AWESOME!
Top tier vocals and beatboxing. Killed this. Upgraded cover. One of their best ever
Wow...this arrangement was amazing and the video was beautiful...gosh this song was stunning...whatvan incredible choice Teri! Amazing...💗
Thank you for sharing DJ, lovely reaction...🩷
So glad you enjoyed it Rula!!
This song was the first one I ever heard from Home Free. I had been listening to Pentatonix, and I got this as a recommendation. It took me three or four times of listening to it before I could fully appreciate it. There is so much happening throughout the entire song.
What a masterpiece arrangement from the Rupster!! He's an absolute genius!!!! The boys are amazing
Absolutely loved your reactions throughout this. One of the things which is so amazing about Home Free is not just their musical skills as singers, their ranges and ability to harmonize so well but their technical skill as well. Their arrangements are as amazing as anything else they do and elevates their music to a level above everyone else. As you listen to other reactors who are themselves well trained in the technical side of music and they point out the particular choices that are made in chords, timing and other aspects of the arrangement you really come to appreciate all the more the level of skill and talent they bring to everything they do. Even their "Funny" songs. Always looking forward to your next reaction.
This is the BEST Christmas song. They made this song awesome!!!!
Yaaas! Finally. And it is one of the most talked about Home Free songs. It's in my top two of my favorites of theirs. And yes, react to "O' Holy Night". It's amazing!
I really needed to see you doing a meltdown reaction today! That note by Tim vibrated my skull! I can't believe I've never seen this before. What an amazing rendition of a holiday classsic. No one else but Home Free, seriously. Thank you so much!
That particular Ice Palace was in Eden Prairie, Minnesota in the US. We have an Ice Palace every winter here in Minnesota when temperatures allow. The Christmas season of 2023 was too warm unfortunately. The palace is built in different places around the the Twin Cities metropolitan area. They’re always gorgeous ❤
My favorite of all their Christmas music (Grandma got runover by a reindeer is a close second). Chris Rupp's behind the scenes of this video is worth watching.
I think this is the third time I’ve watched your reaction because it brings me joy. Thanks for this!
❤ Wonderful reaction ♥️. Adam's arrangement is amazing 🔥 . 🤠♥️♥️♥️
This is my favourite traditional Christmas song from Home Free.
The arrangement & execution is immaculate.
Of their other Christmas songs, I love Winter Song for something non-traditional but still an amazing arrangement.
And for upbeat, can’t go past Cold Hard Cash, haha.
Agree with everything you said about Home Free. My favorite of theirs. Greatest arrangement ever!
Think about where this event is taking place, and think about the music of that place. I think Austin's "wails" are a nod to that time and place.
Adam's arrangement of this Christmas classic is IMHO the absolutely best rendition I've ever heard and I've listened to many, from church choirs, single artists and other acapella groups that were good but this one no matter how many times I listen to it sends shivers all over my body.
Wishing you the most wonderful holiday season ever. Thank you for joy you bring us with every reaction.
Regarding your statement about this should be at the top of their Spotify list, I think it would be if it weren't a Christmas song!
Loving your reaction. I felt the same way. Austin sounds like a siren from Greek mythology
Thanks for your reaction. Your facial expressions say it all. The astonishment on your face is so genuine. Love to watch you react.
This is one of my favourite HF songs. Great reaction, I love watching you get blown away by our guys. Merry Christmas from Golden Bay in NZ.
Yes!!! My fave version of this song ❤
Fair warning - you will be pausing a lot!!
We should all have a guess of how many seconds to the first pause, my guess is 11 seconds 😁
@@dotwyness4110 😂😂😂
@@dotwyness4110 hey, you were close😂😂
Maybe we should have guessed how many times he would paused?!
Keep going down that rabbit hole, it's a good one! Grandma Shirley, peace out ❤
Thank you for a great reaction. I have been looking forward to this particular one. The other two I’m looking forward to and yes these two are their goofy ones is Full Of Cheer and What Christmas Means To Me. In What Christmas Means To Me you can see these guys in the kitchen baking.
I have this on my playlist and I love it so much I play it all year. And to think before HF did it I couldn't stand this song!! 😂❤❤❤
Until Tim started singing, I kept thinking they need to hire Adam for the next Jason Voorhees movie. I don't think Do You Hear What I Hear has ever scared me as much as that 28-30 seconds!!!!
Then it became the song that I love (I'm a Pagan with a weird love of *some* Christmas songs, O Holy Night is probably my favorite).
ok, I think any time we see Tim's hand start floating down we just need to be ready for the heart arrhythmia from the bass. Elizabeth Zharoff has explained that hand gestures can enhance some notes. Tim's just means rattling windows, funky heart beats, and earthquakes. 🤯💥
Minnesota Home Fry here. Loved your reaction. This is my favorite song by HF--I never tire if hearing it.
The ice castle usually makes it's appearance in the Twin Cities during January as it coincides with the St. Paul Winter Carnival. It may hang around for a couple weeks or month, depending on the January thaw arrival. This year, we may not even have snow for Christmas😢...
At last, I was beginning to think that you weren't going to do this one, it'll be tomorrow morning when I see it ❤ 🏴
This song makes me want to go outside at night and look for the Eastern Star. I like this song to start with but I "LOVE" HF's upgrade of this song. The beginning of this song really gives you the feel of what it would have been like back in the days of Bethlehem when Christ was born. Tim gets a "Dragon" growl in there and blows your mind. Then Austin comes in with these "Angelic" high ringing notes. And then back to Tim's Dragon notes again. And when they get to "He will bring us Goodness and Light", and Tim goes so far down and Austin goes so far up, they just seem to "SPLIT" the whole earth in half with those opposing notes. EPIC !!! My most favorite HF song. Thanks for your reaction, your so entertaining to watch. Have a Merry Christmas !
Another amazing reaction to an amazing Home Free song!! Merry Christmas!!
I love all your Home Free reactions. This one is my all time favorite by them.
😂😂😂😂😂 reaction, one day you will realize who is the best A Capella group in the world
Great reaction! I love this song, or should I say, I love this HF arrangement! This song, and Pentatonix's version of "Mary, did you know?" are on my playlist all year round. Eta: When you Google Minnesota Ice Castle, also Google Ice Hotel, Jukkasjärvi, Sweden. 😊
Merry Christmas DJ loved your reaction! Adam Rupp phenomenal masterpiece! My favorite Home Free cover! Close behind is Chris featuring Home Free what child is this. I love how my favorite singing brothers took Christmas songs I can’t stand and made them into my favorites! I hope Tim’s original full of cheer is on the list it’s brilliant! 😁
I agree with you 💯 they definitely showcase their incredible talent in this song. I have watched several reaction to this amazing HF song and you are one other than a vocal coach that heard Tim's incredible bass drop in the beginning. The song you heard at the end was Oh Holy Night its another jaw dropping Christmas song. I wouldn't go a Christmas without hearing both of these songs at least 50 times. Thanks for a wonderful reaction 😊
You make me chuckle all the time. I love Home Free too. Have listened to this at least a dozen times and you actually brought out what is happening than most of them # Home Free
FWIW, your reaction to this Home Free video made this my favorite Christmas video of the holiday season. Thank you.
They don’t leave us any breathing room in this one!😂 Been waiting since your first reaction for you to find this one! As always great fun watching you!❤️
Anxious to watch you do more of Home Free's Christmas songs. One that may bring happy tears is "I'll Be Home for Christmas".
So glad you got to enjoy this one ❤️
I think of this as their prog rock song as it is so complicated! :) One of my Top 5 fave Home Free songs! Great reaction as always DJ!
This is so very awesome! Every time I listen to it gives me goosebumps. Love your reaction!
Love your reaction. This is my favorite HF Christmas song. I get chills every time I hear it. Merry Christmas to all of you in Australia from Kansas, USA. 🎄🎄🎄
DJ, I have wanted to see your reaction to this for so long. You did not disappoint! This has been one of my favorite Christmas songs since I was 10 years old and that is a very long time indeed. I did not think it could be improved on. Boy did Home Free school me on that one. Kudos to Adam Rupp for an out of this world arrangement. And as to the ice castle there are multiple places here in the States that have holiday ice castles to visit. I just love them! 19:17
Sooo good and clever. The boys say Adam’s arrangements are difficult. Yeah I don’t know how the ice stayed intact with Tim’s low notes, hahaha. Good one DJ! Have a blessed Christmas!😃😍🥰
This has been my favorite Home Free Christmas song! I will be lucky enough to see them live in a few days and can hardly wait!
Best reaction I’ve seen to this amazing song! Thank you!
I loved this reaction so much I had to watch it again this morning!
This might be my favorite reaction by you DJ. Loved it and this song.
Fantastic reaction - Honey child - I think I asked you to look at this a while ago - but I am old and don't remember all.. This is my FAVORITE HF song! AND I soo love seeing reactors discover this gold!! I am so glad you got here!! (maybe you will listen to this old neighbor on Spell Block Tango by Todrick Hall after the holidays! Sometime you need to do what you want - not what you get paid extra for.) Don't banish me - I am old - but - I think I know what you like.. I am just a poor old neighbor.. Keep it up! Loving you!
You know they are breaking you with how many times you move your bangs from your face. It is sweet. My kids around your age do the same thing when worked up. Almost like I am watching a little younger , second son. Heck even the things on your wall is like his! Now I feel old but hey good music transcends age.
I hope you're gonna react to their collaborations with Peter Hollens 🥰
Fantastic reaction! I have been pimping this song to all the reactors I follow and even a few that I don't( for this very reason--it's just an incredible arrangement and performance. Loved your reaction, and I'd say every pause was justified!
The name of that note? Speaker Killer.
This is one of my favorite Christmas songs and this version by Home Free is by far the best. I love listening to it and of course love your reaction to it
I have seen them do this song live and I thought it was going to bust the stained glass out !!!!
I've been waiting for you to react to this one!! This is my favorite HF song. It's so intricate. You can't really hear everything going on listening to it once.
The ice castle where this was filmed is in Minnesota. They move it every year to take advantage of the colder temps in certain parts of the state. I believe this year its in Maple Grove.
Adam is amazing!
This is one of my number one favorites by them! So happy you reacted to it! Hope you get to check out 'Full of Cheer'. That one is incredible! :D
Isn’t this outrageously good?! Blew my mind when I first heard it. Have to agree with it being one of Home Free’s best.
The musical "raindrops" are a good trade for harmonica.
This has never been one of my favorite Christmas songs--until I heard this version of it! I'd never listened to it before since it isn't one of my favorites. But I'm very glad Teri asked you to do this, as it made me listen to this.
This is the Ice Castle which is built around Minneapolis every year. Different place every year, but always in the Minneapolis- St Paul, MN area
Yes, this is a masterpiece!
Watching you ask questions that the answers were provided was sweet torture.
My favorite Christmas song from them also
Thank you so much for this reaction! Thanks, Teri! Merry Christmas!!
Just had the pleasure of seeing them for their Christmas show 3 weeks ago in Panama City Beach, Florida. They opened with this song and they were fantastic! The sang about 20 songs and everyone of their songs sounded as good as their videos. New subscriber, love your channel!
This was filmed at Elsa's ice castle in Minnesota, changes cities every year
This is actually one of my all time favorites that they do. If you get a chance check out Warmest Winter written by Austin. I really enjoy watching your reaction to these guys.
Loved your reaction to this amazing rendition. You had me chuckling!!
They Sound Amazing as Always, Great Reaction
Definitely best arrangement and best vocals EVER 💖💖💖
