Austin's musical theater training shows in so many performances but I think it is a given talent that he knows how to flirt with a camera like nobody else does.
Yah, Home Free have got 5 soloists that just happen to want to sing together. Austin is gorgeous with the trim beard (less so the long beard). I loved him in Hillbilly Bone so I'm looking forward to seeing you watch that one. Also, Woman, Amen / Female, and Mayday. Fabulous reaction.
You´re right they knew exactly what they were doing 🥰🥰 when they released this Tim said [ with a very naughty smile 😈😈 ] now lets see in 9 months how many babies Austin helped get born 🥳🤣🤣
This was shot during quarantine which is why only Austin is in the studio and the rest of the guys are on screens - pretty ingenious. Now you need to go to the opposite extreme and see "Brothers in Arms" to hear the low end of Home Free. Awesome reaction DJ! 😆🍟
Yes, they did several creative vids during shutdown where each member recorded vocals alone and then taped the lip-sync alone, and then the footage was merged somehow. This was one of them.
and this is what I love about these guys. Tim wanted Austin to do this song. Austin wanted to show off Rob's opera skills. They are so supportive of one another.
It's amazing how often you'll see interviews with the guys and they'll be asked, "What's a song you'd really like HF to do?" and almost invariably Austin names something to show off Tim or Chance or Rob, and Tim wants to do something to show off Austin or Rob or Chance, and so on. They love each other's talents so much, there just isn't any thought of "I want to do this to show off what I can do." I think that's what makes them so successful -- they harmonize not just vocally, but relationally.
Austin and the camera have been having a love affair for years. Here he captures the very soul of a man in love, the joy, the chemistry, the passion. Percy was all passion, Bolton was an anguished man who had been "treated bad", but Austin is a very happy man explaining to his lover how in love he is. That beautiful voice is the topper. I'll leave comment about the perfect harmony and heartbeat of the bvs for another song.
Two things: 1) Austin’s solo channel, original song written by him, Earn It. You may literally faint. 2) The guys did a similar video with Chance as the soloist (guys singing backup). Cover Me Up. If you do that, let the video run after fade to black, it’s special.
Again I'll say their covers are upgrades! Austin's musical theatre background is evident with his relationship with the camera... I don't think anyone can resist his flirtation with a camera. Fabulous reaction.
They have so many songs I love but this one is one of my favorites. He is so great at putting emotions in his songs. He does this version of tears in heaven on his channel that makes you feel every word. Thanks for a fun and great reaction.
Austin killed this! Percy Sledge would be so proud! Austin's girlfriend Amberly was in the studio with him when he did this. The looks he was giving in the camera were to her. Love your reaction!
Great reaction!Austin definitely knocked this song out of the park they all didThe best version I ever heard. I started to laugh with NO AUSTIN NO !! Reminded of Tim in Guilty Pleasures 😂😂
Thats it.. He sang the pants off! Geeze what a voice Austin have. The others in the background is amazing... I love it! This version is the best one I have heard before 🥰😍
Austin did a fabulous job of this classic song. Loved Percy Sledge's version, but this was taken to another level. I think it is also better than Michael Bolton's version. And remember this was done during quarantine, so the guys weren't even together. The backing harmonies are great, along with Tim's bass. And Adam's vocal percussion is outstanding. This is why these guys are my favorite a cappella group.
I can't lie...this is a song I would have turned off if it came on the radio in the past...then comes The Amazing Austin Brown, and boy did he make this song his own! I think the decision to just let him run with the main vocal and keep the background subtle (and perfect vocal percussion, of course) was so smart. And yes we would all like to find a man who looks at us the way Austin looks at a camera. I know Amberly was in the studio with him while he was recording this but he has been flirting with the camera for years. Check out an older video a cover of Kenney Chesney's American Kids! Austin winking into the camera in that one did it for me!
I like his look here, too. The beard trimmed and the hair not as frizzy as more recently. None of which affects his voice ... which is incredibly appealing and rich!
When this showed up in my feed, my first thought was "Oh, this is gonna be good." And you did not disappoint. Every time you stopped and waxed poetic, I thought "Oh, sweetie, you ain't seen nothin' yet." Austin is very good at making love to the camera. Even heterosexual men get a little shiver from this one. I've never liked this song and I still don't, but the boys absolutely killed it. Amazing backing vocals, percussion perfection and, of course, Austin just sailing off into the stratosphere almost as an afterthought. You really need to do some of the solo stuff on his channel.
Loved the reaction! If you want to hear Tim go really low with Home Free you need to r3act to "Brothers in Arms" "Folsom Prison Blues" and "Ring of Fire"
Thank you for another outstanding and amazing reaction!! You have to check out his solo stuff! Unchained Melody, Tears in Heaven, Georgia and especially Bring Him Home from Les Mis is outstanding! 🤗❤️
Also Danny Boy. He took a 'heard it a million times' song and put so much feeling back into it that for a change you actually felt your heart clench in response.
If you enjoy Austin and Voice Play, check out "Crazy". Also one of my favorite Home Free covers is when they did "American Pie" with Don McLean for the 50th anniversary of Don McLean's original release.
😊 your reactions keep me smiling and laughing.. Don't ever want to miss a reaction. Suggestions Good Ole Boy Good Time, Meant to Be, Cover Me Up, Some Girls Do, This Is How We Roll
😆😅 GREAT reaction! Sub'd. 🥰 Yeah, there are videos out there just showing clips of women watching this video! Just shows you how effective HF was with this. I think the biggest thing that separates this one from the others is the attitude they've decided to portray. Some of the other versions seem to be (understandably) filled with angst and HF decided to present it in a different way. Austin could be saying, 'I am completely under your spell and I'm FINE with that'! 😂 Ohhh yes, Austin knew exactly what he was doing to us and I LOVE it! Just as they did in the "Butts Remix", there is this respect for women and they show it again here. In the Butts video you'll notice that they only showed male butts - not female. That was a conscious decision on their part and I LOVE them for that! A heart for each one of them. ❤❤❤❤❤
Everything they do is perfection, but when you have time, you should also watch some of their bloopers, like the "Colder Weather" memory lapse, and the "Ooops + Thinkin' Out Loud/Let's Get It On" mashup. These are from live shows and are so funny. These guys are great
Austin is a notorious flirt. He had his girl in the room as he sang this video. You'll see he smolders in almost everything he does, once you realize what he's up to. We all love it BTW.
He's not at all a flirt in real life - in fact he was so respectful when he fell in love with Amberly that for months she had no idea lol. Remember what a fine actor he is, so of course he knows how to smoulder.
@@geniej9093 I know you didn't. Just making the point cos too often people think that you are what appears on the screen. I wasn't correcting you, honest.
DJ....we have to get you to wat h their cover of FINALLY FREE...you'll fall for Chance I'm sure when he does something near the end of the video.....the song is JUST AWESOME TOO. Try it, I think you'll really like it....it has a dance/trance EDM type of pop appeal
You are one of my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE Home Free Reactors!! I LOVE your pure joy & enthusiasm you show. I've been a Home Fry since the Sing Off, & I've introduced them to every single person in my life bc they just are PERFECTION to me. It's like they just can't miss... every single song they do is the best version of that song. You really need to listen to their original songs too, bc I was really scared they were gonna let me down & just not be as good on originals, but NOPE!!! THEIR ORIGINAL MUSIC IS JUST AS GOOD. Tim & Austin have written multiple songs individually, and maybe together or w/ the rest of the guys - hell maybe Rob, & the Adams (Rupp & Chance) have written music too? Not sure. BUT- Their Album with all but 2 original songs was such a surprise to me!! It was FANTASTIC, & the fact they took their own songs & shared it with the group, even letting other members take lead on a songs written by a different person (ex: Tim wrote one that he doesn't take the lead on.) Just shows how devoted to the group & each other they are. I JUST LOVE THEM!!
Between the earlier vids and this one, Austin did some what I call "romantic maturing". His vocal ability, with experience and time, has improved, but imo, his ability at expression of emotions his grown exponentially. Perhaps due to his relationship with his love, Amberly...who was actually there in the studio when it was recorded. You can periodically see him looking off to our left...that's where she is :) Nothing gets you in the feels like love!
You are to funny lol I loved the harmonies and Adams beatboxing it was awesome! Austin was mesmerizing…best version I have ever heard😮 Great reaction 🎉 I LOVE Home Free😊
Ok so, next time you and your partner have a row, this is what the neighbours will hear? This is the first time I have heard this version and I adore it...the song is great and so is your reaction and enthusiasm...❤
Home Free has a new original called Playing With Fire on their latest album So Long Dixie. There is no video yet but this song is HOT 🔥. I can only imagine what that video will do to you when it comes out LOL. ❤️❤️❤️ your reactions!
I find it very surprising that there are no videos for probably the two most popular songs on the album, Playing with Fire (what a banger) and Stargazer Lilies. Instead we got that dumb squirrel song!
One of the reasons Austin was especially fantastic and lucious vocally in this one is because his lady love, Amberlyn, was in the studio with him. I think we all have a pretty good idea of where she was - all those flirtatious looks and special smiles went in the same direction!! 💕💕 I've been waiting to see you react to this video, and you definitely did not disappoint!
I think you might have to share Austin with a few million other people! I've got a huge crush on him, and his talent is out of this world 🥰 I've watched this vid so many times, and all the others. I love Workin' for a Livin' - he's so funny. To be honest though, all the other guys are really cute in their own way too. But Austin.......dreamy sigh.
"How can anyone not fall in love with him?!" Excellent question - I certainly did!!!! I'm a Voiceplay/Geoff Castellucci die-hard, but this knocked my socks off. I can't count the number of times I reacted to something he did in the video, then looked at the screen and the exact same expression I was making was on your face 😂😂This wants to make me listen to other Home Free songs, which is the highest praise I can give
I really do enjoy seeing your reactions, every morning you seem to hae a new one showing & it's always first up for me. keep up the great job, amazed your channel hasn't grown quicker. Austin's range & vocals are silky smooth, he never dissapoints
Sorry to disagree but having heard the other versions you mention, I don't think this owes anything to anyone else. The defining characteristic of Austin's performance is joy and overflowing happiness (which is pretty much what he was feeling at that period) and his skill in conveying emotion makes us feel uplifted too. Technically this is perfect and his characteristic use of rubato is counterpointed by Adam's very creative percussion, emphatically there but never intrusive. What a lot of people don't notice is Austin's sheer charisma - they mistake it for attraction. Part of it is charm (you've got a fair amount of that yourself) but charisma is something you either got or you don't. No matter what sort of performance you give, you command attention. This ridiculously talented man is also a fine actor (I persist in believing that he would have been a wow on Broadway) and in one video after another you'll see his range of expressions and ease of movement and gesture. As I write, Austin is confined to bed with a painful recurrence of an old back injury. Get well soon, you hear? He is being looked after by his lady (same one he was singing to here) plus a houseful of dogs and cats.
Oh, no! So sad to hear about Austin’s injury! I hope he gets better soon! I can’t wait to see them live (front row!!!) 4/25! This version of this song was simply incredible!!! He blew every woman’s mind with it! He was supposedly singing to Amberly who was off to the side, & he was looking at her. She’s a very lucky woman! He’s just a great guy with a beautiful, kind, loving, caring heart, and he’s extremely talented. I love his work, both with the group and his solo stuff. When asked if he’d ever go solo, he said no, he wanted to stay with HF. He said when he was younger he always knew he would be with a group, as that was what he wanted, so who knows? He fits very, very well with HF, & everyone loves him & his talents (as well as the fact that he’s smoking hot!) ❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥 #HomeFryForLife
Yes, they definitely did this on purpose. They dropped right before Valentine's Day two years ago. In the comments, Tim said that there would be a bunch of babies born nine months from now.
I've never heard the Jimmy Bonds version of this song, so I'm not going to include this in my statement. But Home Free's cover of this song, for me, is better than any version I've ever heard before. This was shot during the COVID lockdown and Austin was in the studio with just his girlfriend. Every heterosexual female that sees this falls a little in love with Austin (including me).
I have heard the comment that Percy's version was a man who was mad at how love affected him, Bolton's was a man who didn't really like women (not sure about this - I think it sounds like a guy who is straining too hard), and this was a man who was SOOO happy that he was deeply in love. Jimmy Barnes' sounds like a man in love, too, just a different approach. Being in a group that blends so well, Austin doesn't get much of a chance to belt like that. And isn't it wonderful?
OK, how many times have you watched this since your first reaction? I'm currently hooked on his cover of "Neon Moon" (on his own channel). One of the most beautiful songs ever written, to begin with, and Austin's version takes it into a different, much more emotional dimension.
INHO this is Austin's best performance with Home Free. But his absolute best (so far) is his solo performance of Bring Him Home. You won't get the sexy looks into the camera, but I dare you to watch it and not cry.
Austin is a champion flirter! I've seen so many male reactors who reacted to his flirting in this one. (I wonder if he answered some questions they had of themselves .... LOL!)
But others look a little downcast, realising they just can't compete while there are men like Austin around. One of my favorite reactions was Mortius; "I am not heterosexual enough to deal with this."
New sub for homefree. Love your channel. Keep reacting to these guys they have so much more. Check out brothers in arms, meet in the middle., understand, road sweet road, sea shanty medley, make you feel my love , land of the free, my country tis of thee, amazing grace with Peter holler, honey I'm good, some girls do, dive bar saints, my church, I swear , to make me feel your love and all the tracks. They are awesome. #1Home fry.
This makes me even more excited to see them next week! Hope you get a chance to check them out next time they come down under! It really is the most fun you can have outside of the bedroom. Your face will hurt from smiling after seeing them live, they are such a feelgood group. Great reaction! ❤❤❤
Yes, Austin nailed it. He gives himself completely here and also plays very well with the cameras. The great harmonies, deep bass and the unbelievably freaking good beatboxing/vocal percussion/vocal sounds finish it all off for me. I think it sounds perfect because of all the different beautiful voices. I grew up performing Percy Sledge which I already loved. Then came Michael Bolton's performance where I couldn't say it was better. But this one from Home Free certainly is.
I always loved the late Percy Sledge's original ; however Percy wrote the song about a bad break-up and sings "I gave you everything I had" - Austin was singing to his lady Amberly and sings "I'll give you everything I've got". A vocal coach who reacted to this said the end of it was 2 octaves above the tenor staff. Love your channel, reactions & comments!
For a really recent Austin, watch the live video "Home Free w/Maggie Baugh: Delta Dawn" or the recent live version of "Ain't Going Down (Til the Sun Comes Up)".
Dude you are too funny. You couldn't get through 20 seconds of that song before you stopped it. A couple of times I was worried that you were really gonna pull your pants down. Lol😅. Relax and keep up the good work.
LOL Austin's going to Love this Guy LOLOL *chuckle yeah Austin is Home Frees Heart throb LOL There is a song that each of them lead on because HF services the needs of the song with full confidence and support from each other. Not 1 is a diva they really are brothers when they are together. You feel it in the music and see it when they make videos But when you get to see them Live ! OMG it just changes you. In all the right and best ways. I can not wait for you to see them. You will be riding a HF High for at least a week. it's so much fun they encourage audience participation it's not a concert it's a party! Tim will tell so. You can't help yourself you sing along you dance you make friends with strangers. It feels like Family being at a HF show.
His girlfriend was in thestudio. That is who he was looking at. I can't wait for you to d Mayday and 2 country boys attempt opera. Your reactions arguing to be priceless on those two.
All I am going to say is, I warned you... that you will lose your mind.
When Austin sings like that and looks right at you when he is doing it ... you are in trouble. Wow the feels!!!
Austin's musical theater training shows in so many performances but I think it is a given talent that he knows how to flirt with a camera like nobody else does.
Yeah he does 😁
they also learned that from "The Sing Off", where I think they were instructed to play to the camera.
It helps a lot that his significant other was there right beside the camera.
❤😍🥰
@@barbarakennedy2667 Yes, he was actually singing to Amberly. Well done!!!
Yah, Home Free have got 5 soloists that just happen to want to sing together. Austin is gorgeous with the trim beard (less so the long beard). I loved him in Hillbilly Bone so I'm looking forward to seeing you watch that one. Also, Woman, Amen / Female, and Mayday. Fabulous reaction.
You´re right they knew exactly what they were doing 🥰🥰 when they released this Tim said [ with a very naughty smile 😈😈 ] now lets see in 9 months how many babies Austin helped get born 🥳🤣🤣
You telling Austin No will never not make die of laughter! 😂 keep your pants on you’ll have other problems if you lose them 😂
Oh Brother in arms will Blow you away 🤯🤯🤣🤣❤️❤️
This was shot during quarantine which is why only Austin is in the studio and the rest of the guys are on screens - pretty ingenious. Now you need to go to the opposite extreme and see "Brothers in Arms" to hear the low end of Home Free. Awesome reaction DJ! 😆🍟
Yes, they did several creative vids during shutdown where each member recorded vocals alone and then taped the lip-sync alone, and then the footage was merged somehow. This was one of them.
@@DougRayPhillips Meet in the Middle, in my opinion, is the cleverest of their quarantine videos though I like Down to the Honkytonk best
Tim was after him to do that song for a very long time! Wonder how many babies were born 9 months after that came out.
😂😂😂😂
and this is what I love about these guys. Tim wanted Austin to do this song. Austin wanted to show off Rob's opera skills. They are so supportive of one another.
It's amazing how often you'll see interviews with the guys and they'll be asked, "What's a song you'd really like HF to do?" and almost invariably Austin names something to show off Tim or Chance or Rob, and Tim wants to do something to show off Austin or Rob or Chance, and so on.

I think that's what makes them so successful -- they harmonize not just vocally, but relationally.
It's OK, we all crushed on Austin in this one! Just a masterpiece from start to finish!! Great reaction as always 🤣
It's ok. We're all a little in love with Austin! 😂
Austin and the camera have been having a love affair for years. Here he captures the very soul of a man in love, the joy, the chemistry, the passion.

It was pretty dang popular with Percy Sledge also and he would be darn proud of this one as well.
😂😂 you gushing over him was everything
Two things:
1) Austin’s solo channel, original song written by him, Earn It. You may literally faint.
2) The guys did a similar video with Chance as the soloist (guys singing backup). Cover Me Up. If you do that, let the video run after fade to black, it’s special.
Definitely record on the floor for Earn It.
@@rileystone6789 maybe he should start with Thank God I'm a Country Boy...

Austin's the best! By far my favorite singer in the business today.

How could they not!! The guy might as well teach a class on seduction 101 hahaa
I think you should do Home Free’s covers of
“Blue Aint your Color”, “Cover me up” and “Hillbilly Bone “
BTW, I read Tim was teasing Austin about
how there would be spike in births
In about 9-10 months after they released this video. 😉
This song was made for Austin Brown. Austin can really belt with his voice. ❤❤

I think we all have a pretty good idea of where she was - all those flirtatious looks and special smiles went in the same direction!! 💕💕 I've been waiting to see you react to this video, and you definitely did not disappoint!
You’re adorable, Austin is amazing….. Home Free is the best!! ❤️
I think you might have to share Austin with a few million other people! I've got a huge crush on him, and his talent is out of this world 🥰 I've watched this vid so many times, and all the others. I love Workin' for a Livin' - he's so funny. To be honest though, all the other guys are really cute in their own way too. But Austin.......dreamy sigh.
"How can anyone not fall in love with him?!" Excellent question - I certainly did!!!! I'm a Voiceplay/Geoff Castellucci die-hard, but this knocked my socks off. I can't count the number of times I reacted to something he did in the video, then looked at the screen and the exact same expression I was making was on your face 😂😂This wants to make me listen to other Home Free songs, which is the highest praise I can give
You hit the “smolder “ factor right on the head. It doesn’t happen to often, but when it does, Lordy Lordy !
Absolutely love your reactions. Have to admit that I was waiting for your reaction to Austin's opening note. 💖
This is amazing. Austin has his own channel as well and he does a version of "bring him home" that I guarantee you will love
😂😂 yes Hillbilly Bone, Can’t Stop the Feeling, Snow Globe … or any 😃
I really do enjoy seeing your reactions, every morning you seem to hae a new one showing & it's always first up for me. keep up the great job, amazed your channel hasn't grown quicker. Austin's range & vocals are silky smooth, he never dissapoints
Sorry to disagree but having heard the other versions you mention, I don't think this owes anything to anyone else. The defining characteristic of Austin's performance is joy and overflowing happiness (which is pretty much what he was feeling at that period) and his skill in conveying emotion makes us feel uplifted too. Technically this is perfect and his characteristic use of rubato is counterpointed by Adam's very creative percussion, emphatically there but never intrusive.
What a lot of people don't notice is Austin's sheer charisma - they mistake it for attraction. Part of it is charm (you've got a fair amount of that yourself) but charisma is something you either got or you don't. No matter what sort of performance you give, you command attention. This ridiculously talented man is also a fine actor (I persist in believing that he would have been a wow on Broadway) and in one video after another you'll see his range of expressions and ease of movement and gesture.
As I write, Austin is confined to bed with a painful recurrence of an old back injury. Get well soon, you hear? He is being looked after by his lady (same one he was singing to here) plus a houseful of dogs and cats.
The lyrics were reworked, and the focus turned from negative to positive. Sledge wrote this as a breakup song.
I'm so sorry to hear that - he's too young to be having back problems already! I hope he's following doctor's orders and gets well soon.
My 🙏 go out to Austin feel better glad to know Amberly is taking care of you.
That is so sad that he is having pain issues , I certainly hope he is well soon! ❤️❤️❤️
Oh, no! So sad to hear about Austin’s injury! I hope he gets better soon! I can’t wait to see them live (front row!!!) 4/25! This version of this song was simply incredible!!! He blew every woman’s mind with it! He was supposedly singing to Amberly who was off to the side, & he was looking at her. She’s a very lucky woman! He’s just a great guy with a beautiful, kind, loving, caring heart, and he’s extremely talented. I love his work, both with the group and his solo stuff. When asked if he’d ever go solo, he said no, he wanted to stay with HF. He said when he was younger he always knew he would be with a group, as that was what he wanted, so who knows? He fits very, very well with HF, & everyone loves him & his talents (as well as the fact that he’s smoking hot!) ❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥 #HomeFryForLife
Just like in his O Holy Night....he goes high and gives a little wink/smirk.
That's no wink, it's a nose wrinkle. It seems to be a habit - there's a TikTok where Amberly kisses him and the wrinkle appears.
Yes, they definitely did this on purpose. They dropped right before Valentine's Day two years ago. In the comments, Tim said that there would be a bunch of babies born nine months from now.
This was done in the lock down and he was singing to his wife across the room ❤
If you want some more Austin ear candy, check out his rendition of Bring Him Home. Have some tissues handy.
I've never heard the Jimmy Bonds version of this song, so I'm not going to include this in my statement. But Home Free's cover of this song, for me, is better than any version I've ever heard before. This was shot during the COVID lockdown and Austin was in the studio with just his girlfriend. Every heterosexual female that sees this falls a little in love with Austin (including me).
I have heard the comment that Percy's version was a man who was mad at how love affected him, Bolton's was a man who didn't really like women (not sure about this - I think it sounds like a guy who is straining too hard), and this was a man who was SOOO happy that he was deeply in love. Jimmy Barnes' sounds like a man in love, too, just a different approach.
Being in a group that blends so well, Austin doesn't get much of a chance to belt like that. And isn't it wonderful?
I could not even think of hitting those high notes even when I was a soprano! Now an alto, came with the age! ❤ your reactions
Home Free will always find a way to have a cover upgrade. You will need a fan.
OK, how many times have you watched this since your first reaction? I'm currently hooked on his cover of "Neon Moon" (on his own channel). One of the most beautiful songs ever written, to begin with, and Austin's version takes it into a different, much more emotional dimension.
INHO this is Austin's best performance with Home Free. But his absolute best (so far) is his solo performance of Bring Him Home. You won't get the sexy looks into the camera, but I dare you to watch it and not cry.
This is a great performance by Austin Brown and a great reaction by you!
This a a wonderful Valentines gift during quarantine.
Gotta hear Austin's solo work: Georgia on my Mind and No Tears in Heaven.
They brought Austin's girl friend in and she was standing across from him as he was singing... he sang this song to her.
And now she is his wife!
Austin is a champion flirter! I've seen so many male reactors who reacted to his flirting in this one. (I wonder if he answered some questions they had of themselves .... LOL!)
But others look a little downcast, realising they just can't compete while there are men like Austin around. One of my favorite reactions was Mortius; "I am not heterosexual enough to deal with this."
Austin makes me blush when he looks into the camera with that look, that I'm a sexy, genuine man look.
I want to keep pants on! I died!
New sub for homefree. Love your channel. Keep reacting to these guys they have so much more. Check out brothers in arms, meet in the middle., understand, road sweet road, sea shanty medley, make you feel my love , land of the free, my country tis of thee, amazing grace with Peter holler, honey I'm good, some girls do, dive bar saints, my church, I swear , to make me feel your love and all the tracks. They are awesome. #1Home fry.
Have you seen Mortius react to this song? Hilarious.
This made me laugh so hard, and made my heart so happy!
Find Austin singing ‘Bring him home’! His solo work
You made me smile the entire video ❤
This makes me even more excited to see them next week! Hope you get a chance to check them out next time they come down under! It really is the most fun you can have outside of the bedroom. Your face will hurt from smiling after seeing them live, they are such a feelgood group. Great reaction! ❤❤❤
Yeah Austin and Adam really killed it. This was during Covid so I thought the use of the tv’s was clever. Such a good version. Love your reaction!😍
Dj I thought you were about to just melt off your chair for a moment there 😂 really enjoyed your reaction, as always 💜🦌 #DJantlers #DJsHerd
Yes, Austin nailed it. He gives himself completely here and also plays very well with the cameras. The great harmonies, deep bass and the unbelievably freaking good beatboxing/vocal percussion/vocal sounds finish it all off for me. I think it sounds perfect because of all the different beautiful voices. I grew up performing Percy Sledge which I already loved. Then came Michael Bolton's performance where I couldn't say it was better. But this one from Home Free certainly is.
I always loved the late Percy Sledge's original ; however Percy wrote the song about a bad break-up and sings "I gave you everything I had" - Austin was singing to his lady Amberly and sings "I'll give you everything I've got". A vocal coach who reacted to this said the end of it was 2 octaves above the tenor staff. Love your channel, reactions & comments!
For a really recent Austin, watch the live video "Home Free w/Maggie Baugh: Delta Dawn" or the recent live version of "Ain't Going Down (Til the Sun Comes Up)".
Dude you are too funny. You couldn't get through 20 seconds of that song before you stopped it. A couple of times I was worried that you were really gonna pull your pants down. Lol😅. Relax and keep up the good work.
His subduction is WOW!!!!
I love how you get so excited and then They blow your mind and Tim’s low voice shakes your soul and a lot of chills ❤Thank you 🤯🤣
I feel vaguely guilty sitting here watching you lose your mind. Not enough to stop, mind you 😁
LOL Austin's going to Love this Guy LOLOL *chuckle yeah Austin is Home Frees Heart throb LOL There is a song that each of them lead on because HF services the needs of the song with full confidence and support from each other. Not 1 is a diva they really are brothers when they are together. You feel it in the music and see it when they make videos But when you get to see them Live ! OMG it just changes you. In all the right and best ways. I can not wait for you to see them. You will be riding a HF High for at least a week. it's so much fun they encourage audience participation it's not a concert it's a party! Tim will tell so. You can't help yourself you sing along you dance you make friends with strangers. It feels like Family being at a HF show.
Omg i wanna go so so bad!!!
@@dj_410 I really hope they come close to you on a day you can catch them. They're totally worth it.
His girlfriend was in thestudio. That is who he was looking at. I can't wait for you to d Mayday and 2 country boys attempt opera. Your reactions arguing to be priceless on those two.
