You still haven't heard two of their best songs, "End of the Road", and "When a Man Loves a Woman". After listening to these songs, you will definitely be a Home Fry...
Chris Rupp (founder and former member) gives an in-depth explanation of this song and video, with more about how they filmed at the ice castle on his RUclips channel.
The guys did an amazing job with this song and made me fall for it all over again. Adam was just so super creative with this arrangement. The man is just overflowing with talent. I knew you would love this. It is an ice castle that is made every year in Minnesota, and "is made in a different area every year.
Hey, so glad it was released for you, I was looking so forward to seeing you watch this! Their arrangement is sososo good. Adam Rupp did an amazing job with this one! The ins and outs and ups and downs and highs and lows of this song is simply incredible is the best word I can use! Tim the bass wrote original Christmas song Snow Globe and Austin the high tenor wrote original song Warmest Winter another Christmas song. Loved seeing your facial expressions on this on great job. Low bass Kenneth!
Amazing, out of this world arrangement by Adam Rupp. Best arrangement of any Christmas song - ever. I'm not a Christmas music fan, and really not a fan of this song. But, once I heard this....I now listen to it every day. I was lucky enough to see them do this live last night. Amazing.
So glad you're enjoying Home Free ... can't wait until you know their personalities better ... super good hearted guys who keep it real and appreciate all their fans !
Yep, you’re becoming a Home Fry. We all became one. I know, who would think you wouldn’t miss the musical instruments? It’s because of Adam, the secret sauce, for Home Free. He’s a tremendous beatboxer and their voices are so damn good. And they can all beatbox to a degree. Adam did the arrangement for this and it’s stellar. One of my favorites. Good reaction Red!🥰
Also...every one of the guys also excel on at least one instrument...most of them on more than one. Chris Rupp (who was still with the group in this song) plays guitar and piano (and BOY, can he play his WONDERFUL concert piano...in any genre, but he's ESPECIALLY good with classical type music). Plus...he DANCES! That's not too surprising, since their sister is a dance instructor (Chris has done some videos with her, as well.) You can find him, these days, at: ruclips.net/channel/UC8VCOdC8OpUmf3SPY3Cwc1Q Adam Rupp (Chris' younger brother) was studying to play trumpet at college, when he and Chris began Home Free (with a completely different group than now exists). In order to be the beatboxer, he also studied drums. Plus he educated himself in the whys, wherefores, and "how-tos" of music arrangement Adam Chance (who changed out with Chris--not as leader, but as the group's new baritone--when Chris decided to go solo in 2016) (who is usually just called Chance, in order to differentiate between the two Adams), plays a mean guitar. Having grown up in Alabama, his style is quite country, and he does really well with ballads. Rob Lundquist...I'm not sure if Rob plays an instrument...trying to think, and not getting anywhere. I think that if he does play one, it might be piano (at least a little). On the other hand, he's the team's BEST whistler! WOW!!! Austin Brown plays both piano and guitar. It was while watching him still in the guitar-learning process after one of their songs, that I first took a look at the Traveler Guitars (that I wish I could afford...sigh). They are lovely, small, and made to travel, and they have a FANTASTIC sound. It's hard for me to hold a full-size guitar, much less play it, any more, since my body was so bent over from Rheumatoid Arthritis for nearly 15 years, that I couldn't hold any instruments and not even play a piano any longer, after being able to play just about ANYTHING, most of my life. I also lost most of my singing voice there, for a while, but since both of my hips have been replaced, I've been working on getting back a WHOLE lot of the musical abilities that have always been extremely precious to me. At any rate...Austin is really great on both the piano and guitar. Tim Foust plays piano with the best of them! Seriously! He used to do things like play in the bars, and on the streets, down in Texas. There used to be some old videos of him doing those things, on his own channel. I think there still are, though I haven't visited that channel in a long time. I did, however, find this plalist (from the Tim Foust Topic): The Whole Playlist--the cover shows that it's Tim with a piano... ruclips.net/video/a1lckfSEpHA/видео.html
Red wait until you get the chance to see them live in concert I have twice these guys are amazing everyone is involved it's never a concert it's a party with them. Great reaction Red.
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 #HomeFreeDoesChristmasBest
Great reaction, Red. Thank you so much for sharing!! After watching close to all of Home Free's videos, I have discovered that Tim has a "tell" as to what range he is singing. If you watch his hand, if changes position in relation to what octave he is singing. For example in this video when he dropped the bass his hand was below his waist, arm fully extended down. I really can't wait for you to see/hear their rendition of How Great Thou Art. No beatboxing, just harmonies.
Almost new viewer and subscriber and Huge Home Free fan. Enjoyed your reaction very much, knew you would like it, I have seen this performed live in concert several times and they do an Amazing job, sounds fabulous. They have quite a few great Christmas songs, one of my favorite is "What Child Is This", It is listed Chris Rupp featuring Home Free. Chris was a co-founder of Home Free and the brother of the beatboxer Adam. He was the baritone, low tenor in this song we just heard. He left the group to go solo in 2016 and was replaced by Adam Chance. Would love a reaction to What Child is This.
Please do tell us if there is a Home Free song you don't like. I havent heard one yet. You are definitely on your way to becoming a home fry. Btw, the pony tails are so cute!
@@redheadedneighbor I wanted to make sure your spotless reputation stays intact, so, I had to make sure the masses knew I was talkin' about the song. Not you!
So much fun to watch you experience the miracle of Home Free. This is definitely one of their best! PLEASE do "THE DRIVER" Beautiful harmonies and the video is charming.
Excellent reaction! If you love Home Free, you will also love Pentatonix and VoicePlay. They are the three top acapella groups out there. Pentatonix got the ball rolling for acapella going mainstream, Home Free and VoicePlay followed with VERY different (and wonderful) styles of their own. React to Pentatonix's original video cover of Hallelujah. Thanks for this!
Voices: Austin Brown, high tenor Rob Lundquist, tenor Adam Rupp, beatboxer and occasional tenor Tim Foust, basso profondo In this video, Chris Rupp (founding member and Adam's brother) is the 5th voice. Chris left HF to pursue other interests shortly after this video, and was replaced by Adam Chance -- a.k.a. "Chance."
I hadn't seen any of your reactions previous to this, but since you definitely DO seem to be becoming a Home Fry, I shall return to see what else you will have to offer from one of my very favorite groups EVER! I'm really glad this one got to you like it did. It's DEFINITELY one of the VERY best arrangements that anyone has ever done of this song, in my opinion. I've sung this song in many different choirs, with many different arrangements, but this one TOPS THEM ALL, very definitely, thanks to Adam Rupp's wonderful talents. Thank you very much. I've subbed and hit the bell.😀
Nice reaction! There is so much going on in the song is hard to follow who is singing which part! I think it’s sweet that you’re giving them two thumbs up! When you start to feel the need to give them five or ten thumbs up you’ll, know you’re a HomeFry!! i’ll be home for Christmas is so touching!!! Veterans and their children are a big part of this… I tear up every time I see it! In a good way!! 🎄🤶🏻💕
What can you say!?! Wow, brillant, amazing! I have followed Home Free for years, and they still, blow my mind and my ears away. I really enjoy watching you turn into a Home Fry.
Yes! I knew you would like this one! It's considered by many (and especially classically-trained me) to be a masterpiece. Adam's arrangement is incredibly beautiful and smart, and the voices as close to perfect as humanly possible. You cannot stop yourself now -- you're already a Fry. Home Free is simply the best.
The singing & harmonies (of course) are terrific and Adam's arrangement of the sing & his beatboxing are simply outstanding! Adam & Rob are both from Minnesota, so this was their home turf. The other 3 are from the southern U.S. and there's a kind of documentary where Tim goes to visit Adam & their producer Darren Rust in Minnesota - it's called "Southerner in the Snow" and it's funny as hell!
The ice castle is a yearly thing in central to northern Minnesota, it changes locations. The guy with the hat is Chris Rupp, replaced by Adam Chance and brother to Adam Rupp.
I don't care for this song in general. It's meh for me, but this version/arrangement is SO good. Adam did a fantastic job. You'll know when you're a home fry. It's hard to put into words. Thanks Red ~ great reaction! ⛄🍟
Glad this got released. Great reaction! This is such a great arrangement of a very overlooked song made awesome by this intricate arrangement. Excellent!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I want to help you out the guys are the front guy was Adam Rupp the beatboxer. Behind him to his right is his brother Chris Rupp with the hat on. Behind him is Tim Foust bass long shoulder length hair. To Adam's left is Rob Lundquist lead tenor beard and glasses. Then there is Austin Brown sky high tenor long curly hair. I love their version of this song. I truly enjoyed watching your reaction to this song.
What these guys do is exceptional -- What these guys do is phenomenal ... What these guys ARE is Exceptionally Phenomenal -- Phenomenally Exceptional!!! : ) Be Safe
Great reaction Red! The ice castle was in Mankato, Minnesota if I remember correctly. It moves every year. The arrangement was fantastic and an awesome twist on this song. Adam's beatboxing really made this one.
I am new to the redheadedneighbor, so I probably shouldn't have anything to say. But I've always had a weakness for beautiful redheads, so... here goes. You have discovered the joy that Home Free delivers. The fact that they do their own arrangements with such expertise is phenomenal. And I must confess, occasionally they will do a song before I have heard the original, and I find myself liking their cover better. Colder Weather is a great example. There is something about a four-part harmony done to perfection that rocks most music!
I am looking forward to that so very much! Home free has knocked it out of the park for me every time. So much so that I get shocked by it! Thank you for hanging around the neighborhood!
The video was filmed in Minnesota, where Home Free started. Adam Rupp and Rob Lundquist both live there still. I think it's funny that the person who hates the cold the most, Tim Foust from Texas, is only wearing a t-shirt and an open leather jacket. He must have been FREEZING!
Based on your remarks about getting into a cappella, you really SHOULD check out Pentatonix and VoicePlay also. Voctave is another that is more of an a cappella chorus than a small group... but they are ALSO amazing! The pure 'amazingness' (new word) of a cappella is not limited to Home Free! Many Home Fries are also fans of the other groups. There may be "friendly rivalries," but a cappella lovers just LOVE good a cappella! Ask your devotees (you've grown to more than 9,000 now!)... they'll offer more suggestions than you can handle!
Ps... Tim the super bass lol co wrote a song called "Snow Globe" that video / song is a must this season.. they'll mention the ice castle at the end when they thank you for watching 😂
I haven’t heard the original yet. I should probably hear that first.. maybe it would be more interesting if I heard HomeFree first and then heard the original!
@@redheadedneighbor Either way would be a unique experience. Try Keith's first, it's a bit different with one singing voice as opposed to an acapella band. Both are extremely entertaining and beautiful. HomeFree actually did need some choreography training practice for their version, they were great.
The Ice Palace is in St Paul, Minnesota. They make one every year if the temperature is cold enough. It wasn’t this year sadly. It’s a fantastic thing. They aren’t ever the same.
I think the next video you check out should be When a man loves a woman, you won't be disappointed...and keep up the great work as I love your reactions 💖
I saw this for the first time about a week before Christmas, at first I was like ok someone is doing the sound effects for a new Friday the 13th movie (Adam's part sounded like Jason at first-- I got new headphones 🤣). Then knowing Tim can shake floors and kill speakers, I was worried he might bring part of the ice down 😳. Adam did a beautiful arrangement on this, it's definitely my favorite recording of it 💓
So glad you liked it. You just touched the tip of this group. They are so absolutely diverse in what they do. They are the best out there. Can't wait to see your reactions to a ton of their songs. I just subscribed
As a long time home fry, this is ONLY second to God Bless the USA with Lee Greenwood and the Air Force Band, as my all time fav of them. I listen to this YEAR ROUND, it is Ahmazing...but The one with Lee Greenwood touches my soul...top 2 songs of mine..
I just found your channel and LOVE it! You AND your reactions are too cute. If you want your mind blown, after the holidays, you should check out their cover of "Mayday" by Cam. Looking forward to more reactions.
It was shot in Minnesota at an Ice Sculptor type place...being from Alabama & Louisiana we dont & cant have beautiful things like this...Im sure Austin (Georgia), Tim (Texas) are like take us back to the South...lol! Btw...Adam Chance who joins later is also a southern boy (Alabama)...#homefreeofficial #homefry
I really disliked this song growing up but this version I listen to all year 😂 Here I’ll give you a cheat sheet on the guys: Tim Foust : Bass ( 5+ octave range ) Older videos long dark hair newer videos short with grey Austin Brown: High Tenor ( long wavy hair ) Rob Lundquist: Lead Tenor ( Beard & Glasses Adam Rupp : Beatboxer /Co Founder ( he’s an alien ) Adam Chance aka Chance :Baritone/ Bass usually has wool cap or baseball hat on( Replaced Chris Rupp ( Baritone/ Tenor /Co Founder in 2016 so older videos will have him in them.
FYI, the guy in the hat is Chris Rupp (Adam's brother). He has left the group, and has been replaced by Adam Chance. Seems like a good move for all concerned.
As an atheist, if anything could make me believe in a god, it would be groups like Home Free and Pentatonix. What they do with their music would make angels cry.
So if you want to get to know all the members (current ones anyway, Chris Rupp, the guy in the newsboy cap left amicably to pursue a solo career and was replaced by Adam Chance), a great song to do that with is Don Mclean's 50th Anniversary re-release of his song, 'American Pie' which he collaborated with Home Free on. He said he chose them because he's a little old to do the vocal gymnastics anymore and quote, 'Home Free *gets* harmonies.'
I saw the "blocked" message the other day. Glad you're out of prison! This is a great version of this (by anyone else) really boring song. I hadn't heard this in a while.... glad to revisit. Great reactions, as usual!
NEW SUB FROM NORTHWEST OREGON USA 14.9 MILES EAST OF PORTLAND. RED, CAN I CALL YOU THAT? NOW YOU NEED TO REACT TO THEIR COVER OF AWAY IN A MANGER. VERY CUTE VIDEO. ASLO, ALL SIX MEMBERS DID A COLLAB REUNITING THE BESTBOXER WITH HIS BROTHER WHO SINGS THE LEAD. SONG IS WHAT CHILD IS THIS. DONE IN A CAVE.
Really enjoyed that song and reaction. For another great Christmas song/reaction , check out Small Town Titans version of the grinch. I promise you will love it ❤
@redheaedneghbor - Who's who: Beginging with the Bass, Tim Foust; Bariton/occasionally Bass and sounds is Adam Chance (just chance: BeatBoxer is an Adam Rupp, Chris Rupp tenor group co-founder and brother to Adam Rupp. Glasses and Beard is Rob Lundquest, Chris Left and Adam Chance took his place.
I actually hated this song and kick myself everyday for waiting so long to listen to their version. I love that the solemnity affects me and that it is also a bop. Can’t ask for much more. Sorry, but the Ruppster is a miracle worker with this arrangement.
You still haven't heard two of their best songs, "End of the Road", and "When a Man Loves a Woman". After listening to these songs, you will definitely be a Home Fry...
I'm not sure I would want to be in an ice castle when Tim starts shaking the walls with his bass.
Chris Rupp (founder and former member) gives an in-depth explanation of this song and video, with more about how they filmed at the ice castle on his RUclips channel.
Yup! They did that.
They did!
Is this when we tell you " Told ya so"? LoL. I'm very glad you enjoyed this. Adam is a genius. Thanks for the Home Free reactions.
You sure did.. lol.
The guys did an amazing job with this song and made me fall for it all over again. Adam was just so super creative with this arrangement. The man is just overflowing with talent. I knew you would love this. It is an ice castle that is made every year in Minnesota, and "is made in a different area every year.
Hey, so glad it was released for you, I was looking so forward to seeing you watch this! Their arrangement is sososo good. Adam Rupp did an amazing job with this one! The ins and outs and ups and downs and highs and lows of this song is simply incredible is the best word I can use! Tim the bass wrote original Christmas song Snow Globe and Austin the high tenor wrote original song Warmest Winter another Christmas song. Loved seeing your facial expressions on this on great job. Low bass Kenneth!
Thank you! I am looking forward to seeing those.
Tim also wrote Full Of Cheer it ‘s the unintentional sequel to Champagne Taste (On A Beer Budget ) and Austin wrote Cold Hard Cash ( For Christmas)
The ice castle changes location from year to year but is always in the Minneapolis area like Bloomington or Eden Prairie.
Great reaction but you said it in your reaction they love A capella music.
Don't know if you know or if someone has mentioned that the boys are from Minnesota .
That's where they get the Minnesota southern twang.😂
Amazing, out of this world arrangement by Adam Rupp. Best arrangement of any Christmas song - ever. I'm not a Christmas music fan, and really not a fan of this song. But, once I heard this....I now listen to it every day. I was lucky enough to see them do this live last night. Amazing.
You are so lucky!
Sweet Star of Bethlehem with the Oak Ridge Boys will blow your socks clear off! Beautiful beyond all else!! You owe yourself this treat!
So glad you're enjoying Home Free ... can't wait until you know their personalities better ... super good hearted guys who keep it real and appreciate all their fans !
Me, too. I think that is a special part.
Yep, you’re becoming a Home Fry. We all became one. I know, who would think you wouldn’t miss the musical instruments? It’s because of Adam, the secret sauce, for Home Free. He’s a tremendous beatboxer and their voices are so damn good. And they can all beatbox to a degree. Adam did the arrangement for this and it’s stellar. One of my favorites. Good reaction Red!🥰
Also...every one of the guys also excel on at least one instrument...most of them on more than one.

You can find him, these days, at: ruclips.net/channel/UC8VCOdC8OpUmf3SPY3Cwc1Q
Adam Rupp (Chris' younger brother) was studying to play trumpet at college, when he and Chris began Home Free (with a completely different group than now exists). In order to be the beatboxer, he also studied drums. Plus he educated himself in the whys, wherefores, and "how-tos" of music arrangement
Adam Chance (who changed out with Chris--not as leader, but as the group's new baritone--when Chris decided to go solo in 2016) (who is usually just called Chance, in order to differentiate between the two Adams), plays a mean guitar. Having grown up in Alabama, his style is quite country, and he does really well with ballads.
Rob Lundquist...I'm not sure if Rob plays an instrument...trying to think, and not getting anywhere. I think that if he does play one, it might be piano (at least a little). On the other hand, he's the team's BEST whistler! WOW!!!
Austin Brown plays both piano and guitar. It was while watching him still in the guitar-learning process after one of their songs, that I first took a look at the Traveler Guitars (that I wish I could afford...sigh). They are lovely, small, and made to travel, and they have a FANTASTIC sound. It's hard for me to hold a full-size guitar, much less play it, any more, since my body was so bent over from Rheumatoid Arthritis for nearly 15 years, that I couldn't hold any instruments and not even play a piano any longer, after being able to play just about ANYTHING, most of my life.

They are so talented
I want to help you out the guys are the front guy was Adam Rupp the beatboxer. Behind him to his right is his brother Chris Rupp with the hat on. Behind him is Tim Foust bass long shoulder length hair. To Adam's left is Rob Lundquist lead tenor beard and glasses. Then there is Austin Brown sky high tenor long curly hair. I love their version of this song. I truly enjoyed watching your reaction to this song.
This became my absolute favorite xmas song after I heard Home Frees version!! Enjoyed your reaction 🤗🤙
Thank you. This changed my heart about this song.
Beautiful reactor too. I believe that this has moved up your list of Christmas. ❤
😊
They made this my favorite Christmas song!! Live watching your face when it started!! Great reaction!❤
Thank you. They impress me
What these guys do is exceptional -- What these guys do is phenomenal ... What these guys ARE is Exceptionally Phenomenal -- Phenomenally Exceptional!!! : ) Be Safe
Snow Globe is a fairly recent Christmas Song from Home Free . I believe Tim wrote it ! I think you would enjoy it !!
Great reaction Red! The ice castle was in Mankato, Minnesota if I remember correctly. It moves every year. The arrangement was fantastic and an awesome twist on this song. Adam's beatboxing really made this one.
❤ Beautiful. Great reaction.❤🤠 HF. 🏠🍟
Thank you! Cheers!
My favorite version and my favorite Christmas carol by HF. Good reaction!

What we do for fashion.

They are AMAZING ❤🎉
Did you realize that the bass guitar you hear is from Adam Rupp, the beat boxer, but from Tim Foust the bass.
...is NOT from Adam Rupp, etc.... 😀
Crazy, is t it?
Based on your remarks about getting into a cappella, you really SHOULD check out Pentatonix and VoicePlay also.

“Mary did you know” is also a great song you should also check out
Ps... Tim the super bass lol co wrote a song called "Snow Globe" that video / song is a must this season.. they'll mention the ice castle at the end when they thank you for watching 😂
I love their rendition of Keith Urbans "Blue Ain't Your Color" it's fabulous! Their harmonies are incredible.
I haven’t heard the original yet. I should probably hear that first.. maybe it would be more interesting if I heard HomeFree first and then heard the original!
@@redheadedneighbor Either way would be a unique experience. Try Keith's first, it's a bit different with one singing voice as opposed to an acapella band. Both are extremely entertaining and beautiful. HomeFree actually did need some choreography training practice for their version, they were great.
The Ice Palace is in St Paul, Minnesota. They make one every year if the temperature is cold enough. It wasn’t this year sadly. It’s a fantastic thing. They aren’t ever the same.
It is so beautiful!
I think the next video you check out should be When a man loves a woman, you won't be disappointed...and keep up the great work as I love your reactions 💖
Thank you
Tim Foust is the deep baritone, if you want to hear a human voice drop a G1 listen to ring of fire and at the very end it makes you chest vibrate
Adam Rupp, beatboxer, arranged this just as Tim arranged O Holy Night.
🤯
I saw this for the first time about a week before Christmas, at first I was like ok someone is doing the sound effects for a new Friday the 13th movie (Adam's part sounded like Jason at first-- I got new headphones 🤣). Then knowing Tim can shake floors and kill speakers, I was worried he might bring part of the ice down 😳. Adam did a beautiful arrangement on this, it's definitely my favorite recording of it 💓
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 gold star comment
This year they did a Ice Castle in Cripple Creek CO. They move it around in CO also.
So glad you liked it. You just touched the tip of this group. They are so absolutely diverse in what they do. They are the best out there. Can't wait to see your reactions to a ton of their songs. I just subscribed
Who needs instruments when your voices ARE the instruments? 😊Glad you enjoyed it.
So true!
If you're not a Home Fry yet, you will be soon.
Yup. That is Minn in the winter. My home State. BBBBERRRR.
🥶
Best version out there. Killed it
Incredible sound and great reaction . ❤
As a long time home fry, this is ONLY second to God Bless the USA with Lee Greenwood and the Air Force Band, as my all time fav of them. I listen to this YEAR ROUND, it is Ahmazing...but The one with Lee Greenwood touches my soul...top 2 songs of mine..
Glad you got this up told you it wouldn’t disappoint later girl❤️😎🇺🇸
It was great!
So happy you enjoyed this!
I was fortunate to hear them sing this live over the weekend. It was fabulous. Great reaction
Wow!!!!!
My favorite version of this song, and the video, is gorgeous.
I just found your channel and LOVE it! You AND your reactions are too cute. If you want your mind blown, after the holidays, you should check out their cover of "Mayday" by Cam. Looking forward to more reactions.
Thank you. 💕. I appreciate that so much. I am working my way up to that song.. lol
@@redheadedneighborWay to soon it’s really the best when you get to know the guys better ( their ranges and names )
This was done somewhere in Minnesota.
It was shot in Minnesota at an Ice Sculptor type place...being from Alabama & Louisiana we dont & cant have beautiful things like this...Im sure Austin (Georgia), Tim (Texas) are like take us back to the South...lol! Btw...Adam Chance who joins later is also a southern boy (Alabama)...#homefreeofficial #homefry
I really disliked this song growing up but this version I listen to all year 😂
Here I’ll give you a cheat sheet on the guys:
Tim Foust : Bass ( 5+ octave range )
Older videos long dark hair newer videos short with grey
Austin Brown: High Tenor ( long wavy hair )
Rob Lundquist: Lead Tenor ( Beard & Glasses
Adam Rupp : Beatboxer /Co Founder ( he’s an alien )
Adam Chance aka Chance :Baritone/ Bass usually has wool cap or baseball hat on( Replaced Chris Rupp ( Baritone/ Tenor /Co Founder in 2016 so older videos will have him in them.
FYI, the guy in the hat is Chris Rupp (Adam's brother). He has left the group, and has been replaced by Adam Chance. Seems like a good move for all concerned.
Don't know if it's true but I heard they were concerned that Tim's super low notes would shatter the ice! 😂
Lol! Sounds valid to me
As an atheist, if anything could make me believe in a god, it would be groups like Home Free and Pentatonix. What they do with their music would make angels cry.
That is so sweet
So if you want to get to know all the members (current ones anyway, Chris Rupp, the guy in the newsboy cap left amicably to pursue a solo career and was replaced by Adam Chance), a great song to do that with is Don Mclean's 50th Anniversary re-release of his song, 'American Pie' which he collaborated with Home Free on. He said he chose them because he's a little old to do the vocal gymnastics anymore and quote, 'Home Free *gets* harmonies.'
They definitely “ get harmonies” 💕
I saw the "blocked" message the other day. Glad you're out of prison! This is a great version of this (by anyone else) really boring song. I hadn't heard this in a while.... glad to revisit. Great reactions, as usual!
Thank you!💕💕
NEW SUB FROM NORTHWEST OREGON USA 14.9 MILES EAST OF PORTLAND. RED, CAN I CALL YOU THAT? NOW YOU NEED TO REACT TO THEIR COVER OF AWAY IN A MANGER. VERY CUTE VIDEO. ASLO, ALL SIX MEMBERS DID A COLLAB REUNITING THE BESTBOXER WITH HIS BROTHER WHO SINGS THE LEAD. SONG IS WHAT CHILD IS THIS. DONE IN A CAVE.
Thank you so much. I appreciate that. I hope to see your beautiful state some day
If you want to really see Tim Foust's range react to his version of Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow.
Really enjoyed that song and reaction. For another great Christmas song/reaction , check out Small Town Titans version of the grinch. I promise you will love it ❤
I love that!!
Red, you would also love "Mary, Did You Know" by Home Free.
I love that song. I know they must absolutely make it 🔥🔥🔥🔥
your hooked
So are you.🤯😆😉😉😉🤣
yes mam I am@@redheadedneighbor
@redheaedneghbor - Who's who: Beginging with the Bass, Tim Foust; Bariton/occasionally Bass and sounds is Adam Chance (just chance: BeatBoxer is an Adam Rupp, Chris Rupp tenor group co-founder and brother to Adam Rupp. Glasses and Beard is Rob Lundquest, Chris Left and Adam Chance took his place.
Thank you!
@@redheadedneighbor You are quite welcome.
You need to check out a group called Pentatonix as well
I hope you will take time to view How Great Thou Art. I feel you will love and be moved with this one.
I will absolutely do that
♥♥♥
I actually hated this song and kick myself everyday for waiting so long to listen to their version. I love that the solemnity affects me and that it is also a bop. Can’t ask for much more. Sorry, but the Ruppster is a miracle worker with this arrangement.
The Ruppster… my favorite term now. 💕. I didn’t like this song too much, it was always .. meh.. but THIS was different!
