I’ve seen a lot of comments saying that they didn’t sing it as well as Kenny Rogers and I agree but I don’t believe that they were trying to do it better. They were paying tribute to a friend, a mentor they knew each other and Kenny had much respect for Home Free. I think they paid respect to Kenny’s memory very well with this version! I think they knocked it out of the park!
I'm a 45 year old man who's Mom rocked him to sleep to great country tunes such as these. I hear these songs and I'm instantly transported back to those simple days. I love Home Free as well, and I am glad they paid homage to their friend and mentor in this fashion. Also, Gitana and Donovan...HI!! I love this channel and Iook forward to each new reaction you put out. Keep up the good work!
The song that made me a fan of Kenny, was "Ruby Don't Take Your Love To Town", but that was way back when he was 'Kenny Rogers and The First Edition'. ruclips.net/video/2ChPI5pAet8/видео.html
Lot of people are getting hung up in the "They didn't sing it as well as Kenny". Personally I think you are missing the point. I really don't think they were even trying to out sing Kenny, they were trying to take the song and make it more upbeat and I think they did exactly that. I really enjoyed this version. If you, forget that you heard the song before and just listen to this version as if it was a brand new song... It works and it makes you smile. Ya'll need ta relax. Thanks Gitana
My Ace card is beating stage 4 pancreatic cancer.. I'm blessed. I enjoy your reactions. You make my day. So Keep On Keepin' On, Much love to you and your family, Kenny
Another thing Gitana they are still in Quarantine and are all over the USA. How they were able to get the set to look alike so much is awesome....and they again hit the ball out of the ballpark ! A HOME RUN....great tribute to the Late Mr. Rogers. My ace card was my late wife !!! My soulmate
I was amazed at how they did all of the songs during quarantine. They had a hard time with some of them if you watch the BTS videos trying to look the right way or with Mert in the Middle getting the phone the right way. I think they have done a wonderful job during this time
Beautiful way to honor Kenny Rogers ( R.I.P.) They did the song justice ! Loved your reaction and your interpretation was an eyeopener :) , never looked the lyrics this way , but you are so right !!
@@dougmore526 Totally agree :) ! Their collab with Kenny "Children , Go Where I Send Thee " was AWeSOME !! And... Gitana and Donovan are awesome too :)
i think you might love seeing Tim's Faust (the bass guy from Home Fee) Texas food reviews it is so much fun too see all the good food and how it is so different from food from any where
I just watched your reaction to PTX original And now Home Free I always wondered wish one I like Best. And now hearing them back to back I think Iike Home Free more. This is a Kenny Roger's song who passed not long ago. Would love for you to do a reaction to him doing this. But as always Stay Safe 😍 😍
Hey darling love the reaction, I love this one too. May I suggest since you love harmonies so much helplessly hoping, in the blood and seven bridges road. I know you'll love them. Thanks so much I'm looking forward to it.
So glad to see you doing more Home Free! Would you like a very funny one of theirs? Maybe it's time for the "Butts Remix"! Or "Country Fried Pop" - another funny one! Both have Chris Rupp - the guy in the country hat. He's Adam Rupp's (beatboxer's) brother, but left the group and was replaced by Chance.
My ace is music. Thank you! With all the troubles - they still deliver. Feel better about facing the next week. I am heavy construction. Concrete. Someones got to do it. I make shure I do it right. Your spirt uplifts every time. Give hubby a hug. And blessing to You! Just one of the millions who are so happy you post.
Thanks for this channel Home Free are so good I would never of heard of them if I hadn't subscribed. There Honky Tonk track cheers things up brilliant thanks again.
I really wondered how they would blend this song with a group. Once again they did a good version. It is its own version and not a clone of Kenny's. Great job. and thanks for the reaction. As to my aces in life. I'd say mine are the standard ones, God, family, and friends.
There’s no doubt that HF holds Kenny in the Highest regard!! Kenny became a mentor / friend to the group! He invited them to appear with on late night TV. Because of bad weather, etc it didn’t happen. After he gave them this advice; He said had a slow rise in his career, but that career lasted a lifetime!! So interesting that his sons teacher originally told Kenny about HF,& then asked them to collaborate on “Children Go Where I Send Thee”!! No, they didn’t sound just like Kenny but performed aa awesome version for their friend!!!
I liked this cover, (Not as much as some of their other work) but again your reaction was delightful as always. Yes it was a metaphor for life, Most Country Western songs carry some broader meaning in the lyrics, Like Keith Whitley's "I'm no stranger to the rain" the rain and storms are bad times in life and how you persevere to get to the better times in life. Keep up the good work lovely lady.
I've loved this song since I heard Kenny Rogers sing it on a Time/Life tape when I was a kid. Home Free did a good job. Their Ace in that song was Chance, my favorite Home Free member and MY only Ace in life is the love of my life. He's certainly the reason I'm alive at this moment, though the hasn't always been...but he is now. With that, I'll quit rambling lol
Home Free did an amazing job with this, but call me old, I prefer Kenny's version. I remember hearing it as teen and loving it. And I'm lucky, I have three aces. My two daughters and my son.
As you said keep yout ace close to your chest, but then you said to tell you what it is in the comments. I'm so confused, which one should I do???? Oh yeah you also said " get me a towel then Tim started to sing and you said no get me a mop" Hahahaha Too funny. Love this channel. TFS
love how you react to all of your videos actuallty both you and your husband. i am disabled cannot become a money patron but i am now and will always be a supporter of you guys.
And, to realize...each filmed & sang at their own homes across the U.S., then Darren Rust put it together .....& Tah-Dah !!! A video !!! I think it’s pretty Great !!!
I normally don't respond to reaction videos but I got on your channel after the Jinjer Pisces reaction which was hilarious to seeing a new metal head get so surprised at the talents of metal singers and musicians. Congratulations on your 30,000 subs and keep up the good work. If you don't mind could you please do a reaction Pantera Domination as you would love the break down as it is considered the best break down in metal.
You definitely need to check out the original by Kenny Rogers....Homefree did a great job but can’t compete with the original! My wife and kids are my ace in the hole! Love you and your channel....keep them coming!
My ace card is my guardian angel. This is a cool arrangement of The Gambler. I think Kenny Rogers would be proud of this arrangement. R I P Kenny Rogers. I liked the arrangement. Keep up the great work on your reactions. The facial expression on your are cute and funny. Love your vids.
Love your reactions! My 4 aces are my cousins (who are my 3 best friends) , and my class that I teach in preschool... winning hand of "life poker" on most days!
Been told my ace card is my sense of humour Because of the way i am in tense situation i can make other who are down and upset smile I have one aim and that is if i can make someone smile everyday that is worth the world to me x
I'm holding what's known as pocket aces. My faith in God and my wife. Both have got me through some rough times. I'm very blessed. If you could react to Kenny Roger's original version of this song I think you'll see why the wanted to pay tribute to him. Love your reactions and say howdy to Donovan.
I enjoyed Home Free's version of "The Gambler", but I love Kenny's original. People who whinge and say it doesn't sound as good as or like Kenny's, they shouldn't sound the same. Different artists, different arrangement. Life is not about cloning, it is being an original, no copies. As others have said it was a tribute to a friend in their own style.
My ace card is persistence and most of the time, it makes me a winner. But sometimes persistence can make me make lose by causing me to not know what to throw away or know what to keep, when to fold and when to walk away, "Every hand's a winner and every hand's a loser "
Home Free did great with this song, but I prefer Kenny. It was such an iconic song for Kenny that it's hard for me to replace it with Home Free's version.
Don't have to like one more then the other. They are different not identical, Both are first rate. Kenny would be honored, fr them to do his song this way. From along time Kenny fan.
Hi gitana, and Donavon, I 💯 percent with you a great home free performance of the Gambler ( from the original by none other then Kenny Rogers . And gitana and Donavon I would love it if you both would react to home free & Kenny Rogers duet children come go with thee. The song they did with Kenny Rogers will have you both dancing from start to finish. I guarantee it. And gitana my ace is my lovely wife Teena as well. So I hope you both reply back and if you both get a p.o.box I love to send you both cards or letters to keep in touch love making friends and I'm hope I'm your new friend have a great rest of the night Bob .
This is a very nice tribute to Kenny Rogers! I like the original myself better but they did the song justice! Maybe Gitana can do a review of the original version of The Gambler by Kenny Rogers in the future?!.
No NO NO if your gonna do this song you gotta do Kenny Rogers; There is also a very GOOD movie by the same name with Kenny Rodgers in the lead, not sure which came first.
Hi Adelle...I ask you to react to home free about 5 mins ago not knowing you have watched them before...they are my favorite. If you’ve not watch Gos bless the USA...both versions are fantastic
THIS SONG IS A TRIBUTE TO THE MAN WHO SANG IT FIRST. KENNY RODGERS. THE MAN WAS ONE OF A KIND, AMAZING TALENT, WENT FROM $6 IN HIS POCKET TO MULTI MILLIONS. AND HOME FREE IS IN THE SAME PATHWAY. GITANA RUN OFF WITH ME. HEHE
I’ve seen a lot of comments saying that they didn’t sing it as well as Kenny Rogers and I agree but I don’t believe that they were trying to do it better.

it ws a GRAND SLAM for sure !
Totally agree
@@dougmore526 agree !!
I get that but just didnt work for me I quit half way through.
@@dougmore526 I think there is more this quitting of his than just not liking this version.....
Kenny Rogers would be proud of these guys. Great reaction!
They actually sang a song with him. They sang Children Go Where I Send Thee
@@dougmore526
They did.
Plus Kenny gave them permission to use any of his songs.
I'm a 45 year old man who's Mom rocked him to sleep to great country tunes such as these. I hear these songs and I'm instantly transported back to those simple days. I love Home Free as well, and I am glad they paid homage to their friend and mentor in this fashion. Also, Gitana and Donovan...HI!!

Kenny and Dolly were my childhood heroes and this was one of Kenny's best. A fine tribute to a wonderful man.
This and coward of the county are my favorites from him. Islands in the stream from he and Dolly.
The song that made me a fan of Kenny, was "Ruby Don't Take Your Love To Town", but that was way back when he was 'Kenny Rogers and The First Edition'. ruclips.net/video/2ChPI5pAet8/видео.html
Kenny was a musical icon, RIP, and I think this was a great tribute. Check out their collaboration with Kenny on Children, Go Where I Send Thee.
R.I.P Kenny should do the Kenny Rogers Lady Live.
That was Beautiful Children,go Where I send thee they were all Great I’m glad Home Free got to sing with a Legend
Smooth as butter. These guys are something else.
@@dougmore526 true that ;) i even have my folks rocking out to them ;)
I am a single parent of a boy, I had to quit my job of 20 years to be home to help him with this upcoming school year. He is clearly my ACE

Bambam NJ personally I liked it better than Kenny’s version ( sacrilegious I know) but music should be enjoyed not compared.
I think there both masterpieces but I'd rather listen to Kenny's version but if either came on the radio i wouldnt change the station
@@SouthernGospelLady That is an excellent point!!
Kenny LOVED them. He did Children Go Where I Send Thee and gave them blanket permission to cover any of his stuff.
My Ace card is beating stage 4 pancreatic cancer.. I'm blessed. I enjoy your reactions. You make my day. So Keep On Keepin' On, Much love to you and your family, Kenny
Another thing Gitana they are still in Quarantine and are all over the USA. How they were able to get the set to look alike so much is awesome....and they again hit the ball out of the ballpark ! A HOME RUN....great tribute to the Late Mr. Rogers. My ace card was my late wife !!! My soulmate

Next Home Free song: "Honky-tonk" (or however you spell it). It's another gem from the Quarantine Sessions.
Beautiful way to honor Kenny Rogers ( R.I.P.) They did the song justice ! Loved your reaction and your interpretation was an eyeopener :) , never looked the lyrics this way , but you are so right !!

Texas food reviews it is so much fun too see all the good food and how it is so different from food from any where
They did such a good job with this song!
My Ace: Home Free 🧡
Definitely a metaphor for life!! Most don't pick up on that. Loved the reaction, as always! Thank you, Gitana.

@@GitanaAdelle you will fall in love with his scratchy voice
Home Free focus is on the story or lyrics.
PTX seems to focus on the production.. Sometimes it seems as if the lyrics are secondary.
Love your reactions!! Love Home Free!❤
Wonderful reaction & understanding. I'm right there with you.
Great song great tribute to a legend ❤️❤️👍👍
Hey darling love the reaction, I love this one too. May I suggest since you love harmonies so much helplessly hoping, in the blood and seven bridges road. I know you'll love them. Thanks so much I'm looking forward to it.

They do play in Europe
"get me a towel" + "get me a mop"...was exactly what I was thinking at those moments. Cracked me up knowing i'm not the only one hahaha.

They definitely made uncle Kenny proud 👍👍
Their tribute to KLENNY ROGERS was wonderful
I think Kenny would have been pleased with what they did here. I enjoyed it. Thanks! ^_^
You should check out the one they sang with Kenny. Children Go Where I Send Thee is the name of the song I believe.
Kenny Rogers's Coward of the County is an iconic country song too.
love how you react to all of your videos actuallty both you and your husband. i am disabled cannot become a money patron but i am now and will always be a supporter of you guys.
You definitely need to hear Peter Hollens and Avi Kaplan sing Black Is The Color...
My Aces are God and my wife. They both help pull me through PTSD and depression, and my wife gives me a reason to keep on living.
I got to see Kenny Rogers in Concert in 2001 or 2002 in Puyallup Washington. He put on one heck of a show. RIP Kenny Rogers!

I just wish that Austin had sung more of the harmonizing high notes that he does so beautifully. I missed those notes and Austin's playful smile.

“Make it a mop!” Laughing my ass off!
Make it a mop you crack me up love your channel so much
