- Опубликовано: 9 янв 2022
- Y'all know my love for a cappella, but what about a collaboration between two monster groups on a song made famous by one of them? Believe it or not, this song is about a street in Nashville, not a smoking hot woman. You'd never believe it though. Let's get to those super lows and amazing beat boxing!
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Home Free featuring The Oak Ridge Boys for the first time, performing "Elvira”.

I love watching your videos. Your enthusiasm is contagious and so much fun.
ruclips.net/video/aq3r1esiQyY/видео.html A must-see for subwoofer fans!
Joe Bonsall recently passed away😢
Elizabeth giggling excitedly throughout this entire thing is incredible.
She is just so darn cute
I might be lowkey in love
Yes... love her joy in this. It is infectious for sure
My first time seeing her react. Love that she's fangirl-ing so hard! Too funny.
@@elijahcrosby786 agreed 🤣
I love how Joe's tenor still pierces through so many years later.
It was one of the first things I noticed when I first listened to this track. Joe sounds absolutely fantastic.
My great uncle was a bluegrass gospel singer his whole life. He was still leading songs in church the Sunday before he passed. His voice was still so powerful he didn't even need a microphone to be heard over the band. 😊
@@PinkAlphaMom that awesome Gospel sound ..
My mom made sure growing up by the time I was 18 in East TN I had seen Oak Ridge Boys over 20 times..,and George Jones 10 times and I could keep going on God bless my mother
It sounded somehow like Sir Tom Jones for me, right? What a voice!! 👍
This was a great collaboration. They are all fans of each other. Apparently one of the members of the Oak Ridge Boys once said something along the lines of "I don't who this Elvira is, but she bought us all houses."
Does this lady not have the cutest damn smiles EVER!?!? What a beautiful woman!
I love Elizabeth's hyper anime face when crazy low bass comes in.
It's the same look that was on MY face as well, though I don't carry it off as well as she does. lol
I love how Elizabeth giggles and laughs all the way through 😂
Richard Sterban is a legend. Among others he's worked with J.D. Sumner and as a backup singer for Elvis. As Tim said in their 2020 Christmas special The Oaks have really taken Home Free under their wing over the years and in a way passed the torch to the next generation of musicians and they hope to be able to do the same down the road. I got to see Home Free preform this right before Christmas and it was really fun even without the Oaks.
Richard is around 80 yo. Here.
Wow.
Austin Brown has a back yard recording studio...check out Austin and Tim and friends with "My Maria" in Austins backyard...you can actually hire them to come to your backyard :) That low note was originally all the rave of the song back in the 80's, he still has it but you have to give it up to Tim with the "oh yeah, let me show you something". BTW, I believe this was arranged by Geoff Castelucci. The thing I love about covers that HF does with the original artist is the respect they pay to the original artist and adding their flair. In this case, The Oaks reached out to HF to do this collab after hearing them...also is a collab with Kenny Rodgers "Children go where I send thee". But all their collabs feature the original artists and pay much respect to them.
I love how the boys are being playful and challenging the home free singers. Bass duel anyone? lol
My wife is an Oak Ridge Boys fan from way back. Showed her this video a few weeks back. There has been a lot of country music playing in the house lately. In fact, a lot of ORB lately. I wonder why? 😉 This video is fun to watch. Enjoy everyone.
Has your wife heard the ORB, Home Free and Jeffery East do "Beautiful Star of Bethlehem"? She will really
like it I think. Happy New Year 2022 to both of you.
L)
@@susansundaram6737 thank you for the recommendation. we watched it last night. good call we both liked it very much. happy new year to you as well.
Fun Fact: Not just did Geoff Castellucci arrange this but Voiceplay also has a version of this song. It's kinda similar to this one like it sounds a bit to the drawing board of what this turned into and they never studio recorded it so only live versions are available on youtube but it's still worth checking out!
Love this version of Elvira. Can't wait to hear what you think of it. x
It's such a beautiful thing that these guys have so much respect for one another and have no ego's at all. Jeff C, Home Free and the "Oaks" were outstanding and as the video shows...they had a great time doing this. They seem to have so much fun doing what they love to do!
Another song they did with the Oak's was Christmas (2020), was "Beautiful Star of Bethlehem" with another nice vocalist, Jeffrey East". The harmonies were simply beautiful and it showed the bond they have for each other...Home Free is really good with collaborating with other established groups and also sharing their talents to newer groups as well.
I so appreciated your reaction and would love to see more reaction to Home Free but as we all know...so much music...so little time....but I'll be patient....
Thanks again and wishing you , your hubby and your soon to be born "bundle of joy"...😊
RichieC (Atlanta)
It’s Geoff, not Jeff.
@@DennisKovacich So sorry for the misspelling - I've only seen his (Geoff) name as well as his videos forever it seems - no disrespect to such a talented and great artist intended - thanks for letting this old man know... didn't mean to rile you but I probably would feel the same if someone referred to me as "Rick" and not "Rich" 👍
thanks for pointing that out...
@@richcunningham5467, you didn’t rile me, but after the innumerable ways my name has been mangled it’s just a pet peeve of mine, especially these days when it’s so easy to check.
Love how you completely analyze the song !! And you bring up the specialized techniques they use, as some reactors just think these guys are "country bumpkins". These guys are true professionals and are great technicians of their craft.
Austin got the shirt at an ORB concert when he was a kid. He framed it after this and can be seen in videos from his home. A true fan!
The vibe is as awesome as it gets. The video is clearly a room that became a mutual admiration society during this song. The Oakridge Boys are vocal royalty and they are looking at the talent in the room with disbelief at the level of skill. This was a once in a lifetime event...that just happen to be set around a classic song.
Fun fact Tim warned the Oaks not to stand next to Adam because one of his nicknames is Spitter , Austin has that T-Shirt framed in his livingroom
Absolutely should do "thank god im a country boy" next for home free its one of my favorites and it has yodeling!
I am so spoiled watching other reactors because so few of them seem to enjoy the music as much as you do. I love it and love your energy on these!
I only recently discovered your reaction site. I can't decide which I like better, how you explain the technical information in a way that non-musicians can understand or your reactions (especially when you get absolutely giddy) to the amazing parts of the performance. Definitely one of my top favorites among people doing reaction videos! Thank you so much Elizabeth!
You are my favorite reaction video person on youtube. Your energy your enthusiasm is infectious. My wife and I love to watch your videos. You should check out Home Free's "Brothers in Arms cover, and my wife brought up something too. Martina McBrides "Independence day", then check out the Crossroads she did with Pat Benetar of the same song, it was amazing. Please keep up the good work and the fun, your amazing, and I so love the way your facial expressions show your joy of music and the artists that do it".
I am so glad you reacted to this collaboration between Home Free & The Oakridge Boys. You can see the great respect these 2 groups have for each other. The Oakridge Boys are mentors to Home Free & it is like they are passing the baton to a newer version of themselves. They have performed together on the Grand Ole Opry. Adam Rupp's vocal percussion is the best in the business. He can simulate drums & any other sounds perfectly. Home Free is my favorite a cappella group. They are so talented yet very humble guys.
Miss Elizabeth, your reviews have really been enjoyed over the last couple of years. Your spirit and enjoyment is so refreshing to see. Keep up the stellar work!
Home Free and The Oak Ridge Boys did another video collaboration last Dec 2020. Look for HF/ORB feat Jeffrey East "Star of Bethlehem"...Joe and Duane both set forth their admiration of Austin's gospel style. Seems both groups have appeared together in other various venues.
One of my favourites anytime of the year
O BEAUTIFUL STAR OF BETHLEHEM truly is wonderful ft's Jeffrey East. Austin goes back to his childhood southern gospel roots when he watched and sometimes traveled and occasionally performed with his Dad who was a member of a Southern Gospel Music Quartet.
Lol. I mean this in the cutest, most affectionate way possible Elizabeth. You totally goober-ed out on this. So fun and I loved it!
I remember when my daughter's were tiny little, like 2, they would always tell me (raised em by myself for several years) I was being a goober when I acted silly with them! Great react. Thank you dear!
These guys look like they're having the time of their lives! It's impossible to not smile and laugh during the entire song. Your excited reactions are always my favorite, Elizabeth!
Metal head but country rooted. Grown up listening to classic country songs. Nothing like some good ol'country song.❤️
As for Austin's enthusiasm, Tim told the story about when Home Free was working on a cruise ship as guest performers and Austin was part of the in-house entertainment. He was told by one of the other singers that Austin really, really wanted to meet them and that he was "excitable, sorry". Austin is still excitable, but that's part of his charm. Also, Home Free's live versions of Elvira are always amazing!
Hi Elizabeth, this is my first time listening to this rendition, and I loved the performance. I remember hearing this song in the early '80s, and I love the collaboration 40 years later. Home Free and the Oak Ridge Boys were having fun, and their harmonies were incredible throughout the whole song. Thank you, Elizabeth!!! 💙
Elizabeth, if you want more of Adams beat boxing try the Adam Rupp drum solo. The one I've seen is a live performance where Tim basically introduces Adam and then they leave him alone on stage to perform. The sounds this man creates are amazing.
You gotta love the audience interaction in that too. There are actually a couple of versions on RUclips that shows how he has developed his sound over the years.
Got to see it in person in October…it’s AMAZING seeing him do it live.
I can tell when you really like a song by how giddy you get .... good reaction
I’ve stood next to the stage with the Oak Ridge Boys. They were performing for a corporate party and I was an employee of the company. They are amazing! They waited until last for Elvira and they about brought the house down. Tipsy Texans get rowdy. 🇨🇱
The thing I love about the Oak Ridge Boys in any collaboration is Joe's reaction to any other Tenor. He always gives them this look like How Dare You try to show me up! Lol!
This is probably my favorite Home Free song because I absolutely love The Oak Ridge Boys. As a huge fan of great bass singers it's great to see Richard Sterban and Tim Foust sing together and the only way it could be better would be to get those two and Harold Reid(The Statler Brothers) together.
There was a 'little' competition between the two deep voices, but they respected each others talent.
The best parts of these videos for me is Liz's facial expressions, belly laughs, and chortles.
This made my morning! One of the best reviewers out here gives us a super charming breakdown of this glorious performance. Thank you for making this •‿•
For a lifelong metalhead, I've always loved the Oak Ridge Boys! Richard Sturdivant William Lee Golden are legends!!!
great reaction i love how you giggle at austin fanboying haha.
Had not seen/heard this collab toll just now, but have grown up loving the Oak Ridge Boys and that first chorus gave me chills.
I always love your reactions and breakdowns of the music. The almost downright fan-girling was adorable and just improved my mood. Always a pleasure.
I really love to hear and watch this combination. It is pure fun. I have so many thoughts about that. It feels a bit like "Passing the torch" or fathers teaching their sons. It is obvious that everyone had a lot of fun and that´s what music is made for: Having fun together. Additionally I like it, that they are in a bandroom with instruments all around them and Adam Rupp is making the sounds with his mouth. One of my favorites. Thanks for sharing your reaction.
Nothing is better after a really hard working day then run home, put on you merch shirt, get on RUclips and enlighten the day watching this channel of amazing reactions, saved the day. Thank you.
This isn't QUITE the only Acapella version of Elvira. They let Home Free use their arrangement so they never put out a recorded version, but Voiceplay has been performing this live for well over a decade, and still do to this day. There's plenty of videos on RUclips you can find, and you KNOW they add the Voiceplay brand of silly to every one.
I don't know what's more fun, the song with Home Free and the Oak Ridge Boys or your reaction to it 😅🙃 The guys did a fanstastic job and Adam's beatboxing is second to none.
My favorite country band of all time. Great song!
Rob Lundquist told William Lee Golden He wanted his beard as long as William's but his wife wouldn't let him, William told Rob "son, looks like you have a decision to make" Chuckle I'm so Happy they got to do this song with the Oaks, and double happy that they felt so at ease with each other . That's the Magic, when you can't help smiling/dancing/singing along it's just pure JOY !
Glad you have come back to Home Free again.
I think you owe it to Austin to listen to his performance of "WHEN A MAN LOVES A WOMAN". The whole group performs but Austin is the lead. It was created during the pandemic so they shot each of the members except Austin in their homes and had Austin in studio. This is no Country song. He will suprise and more importantly impress you! I really cannot wait too long to here your excitement! Please do not make me wait for weeks or heaven forbid, months. Just say yes...
Joe Bonsall's voice hit me like a wave of nostalgia when I first listened to this.
Elizabeth..... you're the best!!
These 2 groups really had fun together!
Geoff did a great job arranging this for them!!! Love all the geeking out!!
I really enjoy your reaction & analysis of accapella. I would love to see your analysis of Home Free's cover of Brothers in Arms
I second this request, as I consider this one of the best a capella performance I have ever heard.
I dig Home Free and this song with The Oak Ridge Boys is one of my favorites of theirs. What great chemistry!!
This is one tie I was part of two groups jamming Damn I bet they had so much fun. Elizabeth you did a great job breaking this song down. keep it up !!!
"Whacka, whacka, whacka..." Not sure I ever heard vocal coach use that expression. Classic! (Love it)
I'm pretty sure the dictionary entry for "delightful" just says "Elizabeth Zharoff." Your reactions are delightful to listen to, and you yourself are so full of delight when you enjoy the songs!
Elizabeth, I so love your excitement and enthusiasm as you point each nuance to the performance. I so enjoy your reaction videos as you not only react but point out details in such an interesting and enjoyable way. Thanks so much.
This is just such a joyful collaboration. Loved your reaction and breakdown.
The tenor sounds like he's 20 years old. Amazing!!!!!
That super-low D was just incredible. In my pre-transition life, I was a baritone with a wide range, and the lowest I had to sing for any anything was the G in that octave, and that really took work to reach. I'm suitably impressed.
I saw them live in the late 80's, Richard Sturban's low register vibrated the seats in the 5 seasons center of Cedar Rapids Iowa. Nothing like feeling a note all the way through your butt and spine.
Also, they bring kids from the audience on stage for Angels Among Us. Its so touching.
Yes Richard can hit an Eb1 low note, that's pretty low👍✌️
Watched this when it came out but listening to this today because Joe Bonsall a singer from the Oak Ridge Boys passed today 7/9/24. RIP sir.
Much love from Virginia 💙💙
So glad you got to this one. Love the Oak Ridge Boys. First time I saw them I was 5 and they were playing at the Grand Ole Opry. This is a great colab.
Loved the this. ❤️ More Home Free please.😊
I love how full the sound is on the choruses when they all join in.
I swear they could release an album of these collaborations and it would go platinum so fast. The generation that loves the Oakridge Boys is yearning for it!
I love how your face lights up, when something in a song, really grabs you.
Elizabeth and Kirk, Alex Hefner's RUclips channel did a "My Honest Thoughts on Every Other Reaction Channel" video and gave a positive shout out to Elizabeth and The Charismatic Voice. Just an FYI.
👍
Thank you, Metal Mark! I did go take a look, and his thoughts were very kind. Thank you for mentioning this!
👍👍👍
You can tell that they love working with each other! Very similar I'm many ways! Great reaction as always Beth! Two requests that I would love for u to react to by Home Free - Helplessly Hoping and Brothers in Arm. Both are one of the best from Home Free, which says alot!!
That’s a genuine Tim Faust growl!
Her Geeking out over all the details is the best part of this entire analysis...
Now tell me you didn't move around your home singing Umh Papa Umh Papa Umh Papa Maugh Maugh!
Highly recommend Home Free's version of "When a Man Loves a Woman".....Austin absolutely nails it.
Elizabeth appreciates the bass men.
The enjoyment you have, the laughter and little giggles is absolutely contagious. This is one of my all time favorite songs, and the collaboration between the two makes it even better. But, seeing someone that has that same love for the music's reaction, and true joy that it brings makes it even better. Thank you for doing this one. The song and your reactions just made my day! Plus, you break it down so well.
I can't be the only one hoping that Elizabeth would cosplay as Elvira for this! It's always great to have Home Free on the channel, but if you ask me, the old Boys stole the show here. Also, props for one of E's goofiest thumbnails yet! You just know the music is good when it causes an educated, experienced performer to make a face like that. 😃
Which Elvira do you mean? The Elvira with the big ... mmm ... donuts? 😁
Hmmm ... Elizabeth's face? I would call it the enthusiastic Eargasm Tim Foust-Bass acapella face ... 😁😁
@@joergojschaefer3521 Cassandra Peterson, yes, THAT Elvira. Be fair, she had awesome legs too. Still does, last I checked. Ahem . . .anyway, yes, that is a whopping case of Bass Face if I ever saw it.
@@oglschmittExactly ... Cassandra Peterson ... Yeah she was...stunning ...more Curves than a B-29,i think! 😋🤪
But I prefer Elizabeth's way, more nature, less artificial! 🙂
This is one of my favorites! SO MUCH TALENT!
Just a bunch of guys having fun makin music, that's the way it should be!
I think its fun how bass singers give you the giggles when they hit their low notes.
As always your reactions are so informative, funny and entertaining at the same time, thank you for this reaction ☺️
Chill bump’s galore! Love it 😍
This version is a delight. The arrangement is great, both groups are awesome and the amount of fun they are having always brings a smile to my face (also Rob comparing beards cracks me up).
Thank you for the reaction. I always learn something. :-)
Thank you for this video, Elizabeth. I love Home Free and they were obviously having a lot of fun with The Oak Ridge Boys but it was your sheer joy that got to me. I found myself actually giggling along with you. Thank you for lifting my spirits on a day that I really needed it. I would love to see you and Tim Foust collaborate on a project sometime.
Loved your reaction, as always! It's amazing how much more you bring to something that I enjoy already -- making it even better. I'd appreciate you fitting more Home Free in your busy schedule - they've recently released a cover of "Bless the Broken Road" that is wonderful. Thank you again.
I saw the Oaks perform Elvira for the first time back in 1981 in Spokane Washington. The crowd went WILD. I don’t think anyone could do a bad cover of this song.
I was at the same show. One of many, including their outstanding Christmas double concerts. Never disappointed once.
what a classic song
I was a nerd in high school in the 80's. I was all into country and the Oak Ridge Boys were and are one of my favorites. I have seen them live at least a half dozen times. They are greatness. And I love this collaboration so much.
This was the very first song I ever remember singing, back when I was probably around three years old (it was a fairly new song back then 😝 ). I had it on a 45rpm record, and I nearly wore the vinyl out playing it over and over (and I probably also nearly wore my mom's patience out, too). I had so much fun with the "words" of the baseline in the chorus. 😂
The tenor of the Oak Ridge Boys, Joe Bonsall, owns a farm close to my parents, and my dad has done some handyman work for him over the years. He's a really nice, down-to-earth guy, and he's also an author of several books, too.
I hope you read who they acknowledge for this one! It’s someone we all know and love ❤️🏴
Elizabeth you are the most excited of all
I commented on a reaction to Peter and Tim and so it goes that they're both honest singers that makes it great. And it is one of the many things that makes your reactions and breakdowns so truly amazing and truly is a blessing. Thank you truly hope you and yours are well!!
I just love how you are giggling like a school girl to these legends 😂
This is an awesome collaboration of this song. Voiceplay has been performing this song in their live performances at least as far back as their Sing-Off tour, which they did with Home Free. You should absolutely check out one of their performance because it's good and they have fun with it. Granted it's not as full because they are a smaller group but they Play with it and I giggled in several places.
OMG, please watch the sign off to hear and see baby faced HomeFree. Thank you for this wonderful reaction!
your reactions are the best in this world with your smile
This is one of my favorites. I've been an Oakridge Boys fan since I was a kid, and Ibe loved Homefree since the Sing Off.
They did a fantastic collaboration of O Beautiful Star of Bethlehem for their pandemic Xmas special (2020). It truly highlights everyones gospel roots and magnificent talent. Check it out, it's worth it!
The Oak Ridge Boys; what a fantastic, legendary group.
It's fun to watch how Austin and Joe seem so much like one another as tenors, they both can belt the notes and they both have lots of energy about them. Joe still jumps up and down onstage because he has so much energy in him when he sings and Austin is the same way, He gets so excited bout everything he does and you can tell they truely love what they do.
