Enjoyed their version of this classic Roy Orbison song. Did you notice how embarrassed Tim was when they talked about his dancing? These guys are so humble & don't let the limelight go to their heads. And of course Adam killed the beatboxing.
I totally understand wanting to protect our boys. Home Free has a way of making us feel like we are all a part of their big family . Thanks for the Home Free reactions.
It was so easy to fall in love with the guys on The Sing Off. People often ask what it is that I love about Home Free and I can list many reasons/things, but at the end of the day they just have that "it" that's almost impossible to put into words. Thanks Jillian and Jeremy - fun reaction. 🍟
I like to think the judges were reluctant to follow the playbook given to them by the producers. But it was irksome that Chris and Rob were never given their due credit. I may be remembering wrong, but I believe it was this 4th episode that eliminated VoicePlay. With all its faults, I still enjoy replaying Home Free's journey through the Sing Off -- never tires me to remember how very talented they already were! Keep going -- great reactions!
I could have sworn that this one is where one of the judges commented on the “hey” HF did instead of using typical fillers. In any case, this was awesome! (Tim arranged the re-make of this one on their current album.)
Fun fact: Chris and Adam performed this song at Home 1st ever show in January 2001! I love Chris upbeat fun arrangements. performances, took me 8 years to become a 🍟 . I found Chris original songs and HF Christmas music. I heard Chris and Adam in the forefront. I have a Rupp siblings playlist! The guys and sister Tristan are my favorite singers on the planet! I can’t wait to buy Chris album with his band Cypress Fyre. He cowrote the whole album! 🥰
I'm really enjoying the Jillian-Jeremy duo reactions! I agree with Jeremy: ...TV, production... (sigh) Austin is just a natural flirt. In the beginning, HF called Austin The Heartthrob. He's learned to contain it somewhat over the years. IMO, Oh Pretty Woman showed the judges that HF was more than a one-trick pony who could sing country. And the name of the game was to attract the judges' attentions (in a positive way). Good reaction as always!
Great reaction Jeremy and Jillian! That bass theme is there. Tim plays baselines like the best jazzmen only he's doing it vocally. Really enjoy your channel especially Fridays.
I hope that you guys will be doing their Ultimate sing-off performance they did with Philharmonic. Amazing music, funny, and you get to see Rob dancing!
J&J, love how protective you are for our boys! #HomeFree was great, and their new 10th anniversary rendition is even better. Can't wait for you to discover that one too!
They did a great job on this on song! Voiceplay came in 6th place Adam with his moonwalk while beatboxing it kinda kept that after the show at their concerts Adam sometimes would do a Micheal Jackson part in his solos ( dance moves and mirrored jacket and all ) it was amazing
The judge’s reaction to this is hilarious. I always get a kick out of watching this one. It’s hard to believe they had only been together for about nine months when they competed in the sing off
I'm an over protective Mama to our guys too! 😍 They are awesome!! Loving your reactions and Home Free Fridays. Be sure to watch their performance of a Christmas song 🎄 with Jewel in the finale.
Yeah it was something with the producers to only highlight 2 out of each group.... total nonsense to the rest of us! But yeah Home Free insisted that Rob lead on colder weather & that was the ONLY time thw judges had anything remotely negative to say. It was nonsense! ❤
PS: hey Dawn!! @@momD612 Please expect the special video we've been planning on Dec 22. This will be AWESOME (and worth the wait)!! We haven't forgotten Mr. Handsome!!! ❤🥷🏻
😅 Tim getting embarrassed is weird because he such a smart@$$ 😂 but he's actually a softy.❤ being protective of our boys is funny... it just happens out of nowhere 😅 I've had some words with people 😂 nice reaction guys 🥰🥰🥰🥰💀
Right when you said, "I don't see VoicePlay in these clips," they had just shown two of them, Tony and Earl, but they aren't with the group now so you may not know them. Also, VP had a woman singing lead for this show; watch for her bright red/fuschia hair. You can watch VoicePlay's Sing Off performances at their YT channel; scroll down the playlists.
You guys are so sweet. I don't mind the critiques from the judges. Critique is part of life, and the guys seemed to take it all well. But I like how much you care about rooting for our guys! It's been fun watching you become Home Fries. 🥰
Hey Jeremy and Miss Gillian, the critique for Rob is coming and I think it was unwarranted, but y'all will hear it and can decide for yourselves. They have their new version of Prety Woman released about 2 months ago now, and you can clearly hear the differences that make it so much better....they have grown so much as artists, and wait til you see their pompadours LOL
Maybe next do the Ultimate Sing-Off with Home Free and Filharmonic - you saw a clip of it at the end here. It's a spoof on the Caddy Shack song "I'm Alright," and Rob shines in a different kind of way in it, and it's really hilarious. Plus both of the beatboxers go head-to-head with a dual. There's no competition with Adam, of course, but it will also show you clearly how much better he has gotten since then. He's much more crisp now. Also, regarding Tim -- Shaun was just plain wrong. Tim sung that bassline in the background before the end of it the whole time, but they just featured it when all of the voices pulled out of that one part in the end. Shaun just didn't hear it before then. I know it doesn't matter now, but I get a little irked (using Jillian's word) because of it, too. One more thing - Jewel acts pretty flaky sometimes, but she knows what she's talking about musically and I love her for that. Whew that was a lot. Maybe I was a bit too honest in this remark, but I don't care! Great reaction as usual. You're my favorites.
Awww, our fav Dani!! Thanks for the great comment...I'm (Jillian) getting so annoyed with the lack of appreciation for everyone and need to check my attitude! Great input about the Tim and Jewel...didn't know either tidbit. And the Ultimate SO w/ Filharmonic coming next Friday, promise!! Hugs from Flagstaff, AZ! ❤️,🥷🏻
Thanks!! Arizona is one of my favorite places in the world. I saw your picture on the community post at the Grand Canyon, and loved it. If you ever get a chance, try to hit Winslow, Arizona. They have a whole store dedicated to the Eagles. Maybe I'll send you a family picture of us in Winslow, Arizona at the shop. I know it sounds kind of obscure, but I grew up with the Eagles, and it was worth going there.
@@musikbyjh Gotta agree with Dani. You guys are the best reactors out there. I had to unsubscribe from 2 last night: one always took her fangirling to an excessive level and the other reactor was way too technical about how the microphone should have been another 1/4" further away, blah blah blah...
@@wolfe6220thank you for that compliment my brother! Very much appreciated. Having watched reactors for years before starting this channel, I felt I wanted to do it in a way that people would enjoy as a whole. Not pausing every 5 seconds, and not ranting forever in between playing…or getting too technical. I like to touch on things…but a majority of people won’t cared about thresholds and ratios of a certain compressor. I just want to have fun with all y’all! (Although, some technical stuff comes in the outros sometimes) Much love! And much love to you Dani! You rock! 🤘🏽😎🤘🏽
Shawns comment about the tight tight harmonies i think was directed more towards rob and chris but... still would have been nice to hear him call them out.
They never mention Chris at all and they didn’t want Rob to sing lead. They only said Rob was a good gopher and a great beard. Then the comment that Rob’s voice was pitchy in Colder Weather. Voice play was already gone. I think they did go on the Sing-Off tour after the show.
This was cute. Thought Austin stood out. Yeah the producers liked Austin and Tim and Adam so the judges pushed them but if you think about it….Austin was pretty much the main singer, Tim got the great low notes and Adam was great with percussion so Chris and Rob were kinda left in limbo. We love them but I guess the show didn’t have time to push the other two. I saw bigger groups out there and I can’t imagine they had much time but to talk to the main singers. Anyway, thought this was a good song for them. 😍😄
If you watch the whole show with the little bits in between and such, you end up with this thing where Austin was flirting with Jewel, but she really only had eyes/ears for Tim, but Tim was crushing on Nick Lachey. (I have no reason to think Tim is anything other than straight, but he brings a lot of bi energy to his public & stage persona, and that was certainly the case with The Sing-Off.) As for the judges' comments, I've heard they were edited for the show and they often gave more in-depth suggestions that were a bit too technical to include on the show.
Oh my!!!! Definitely see that Jewel could be crushing on Tim, for sure. And he just looks like an embarrassed teenager, it's so cute!! Thanks for watching and comment, so glad you are here!! ❤️🥷🏻
It was probably hard for them to give Rob and Chris the same kind of comments the other guys got because they only sang backup and didn't do any solo pieces so their voices could really be judged. I assume that Home Free did their own arrangements and decided who sang what, but I don't know that for a fact.
Featuring Austin and Tim was not "politics". The band knew that they had to nominate two members before they started, and agreed that they should be Tim (with a unique bass) and Austin, who had extensive experience of production numbers of the sort that started every show. They then wanted to do what no other group was allowed to do, to introduce a third lead, and must have expected a reaction from the producers. If the judges had mentioned every single contestant, the show would have stretched out to the crack of doom and been very poor television. Not sure why people think that HF should have had preferential treatment. Chris has admitted that all the guys were smitten with Jewel. This was around the time that the band hired a beautiful stylist/photographer, Olena Noelle, who went on to live with Austin for five years. (She appears in a number of HF videos) He only started dating Amberly in 2020. You might check out the opening numbers of the SingOff episodes, which are really big impressive production numbers, except you would complain again that Tim and Austin were featured. They are both very impressive, dancing, singing beautifully and moving around the stage like seasoned veterans. The show at the beginning of Episode 1 had all the contestants in it. There are so many! and you can see why the producer wanted a couple from each group, and why the judges simply did not have time to mention everyone.
I think this, too. He's so young here, though. I have a 16-year-old and he thinks pretty much every girl is "hot." It's different for boys in teens and 20s. Austin is a man now, and he has really grown up.
How do you miss Earl's Hair??? Giggle they showed VoicePlay you just aren't as familiar with(?) the older line up of 2013 ?? Plus they had a Girl that would be "Honey" in the group
Enjoyed their version of this classic Roy Orbison song. Did you notice how embarrassed Tim was when they talked about his dancing? These guys are so humble & don't let the limelight go to their heads. And of course Adam killed the beatboxing.
We loved how embarrassed Tim was...it was endearing!!

They did a great job on this on song! Voiceplay came in 6th place
Adam with his moonwalk while beatboxing it kinda kept that after the show at their concerts Adam sometimes would do a Micheal Jackson part in his solos ( dance moves and mirrored jacket and all ) it was amazing
So much fun and I’m glad I didn’t watch the show when it was on, because I wouldn’t know how protective to be of all the guys! ❤️🎶

The producers only wanted to highlight Tim & Austin but Home Free pushed back & Rob finally got lead on Colder Weather.

And watching Austin flirting with Jewel was extra special.
