      This white lady would LOVE to see a BIPOC group take on Queen- or heck- even country! There are black country singers that barely get recognition or radio play and I, for one, wanna hear more! 😍 Once you're exposed to music you love- as a musician it influences and colors anything you create... and it comes from a place of deep affection and appreciation for the genre.

    As mentioned below , Shawn Stockman was a judge on their season of the ‘Sing Off’ and he was a huge fan of Home Free, particularly Austin. The Home Free guys attended a Boyz to Men concert and covered this song as a tribute to their friend and as fans of their vocal heroes …

    Chance is doing the walking bass line in this song. He is an extraordinary singer… you should checkout his leads on “I Can’t Outrun You “, Cover Me Up”, “Winter Song “. They don’t have a lead singer…they go with who has the best voice for the song.

    Their is NO lead singer in Home Free.
    It depends on the song and what the range is. High....it will be either Rob or Austin....Lower range it will be Chance or Tim. That's what makes them a great group.
    The reason they DON'T do a cover exactly like the original is to let the original stand on it's own merits.
    When they sing a cover they pay homage and put their "spin" on it.

    These guys are all so talented. They lean towards country but they can do any genre including R&B. Rob sang this with so much soul. They all can take the lead depending on whos voice is best for the song. Tim is one of the best bass singers out there & their beatboxer Adam can simulate any sound. Keep up your journey through Home Free. You will not find a bad song.

    Fellas! This isn’t disrespectful. On the contrary, for a group like HF to take on an iconic song like this and do it to this level relates to the respect they have for B2M. What you both need to understand and to quote another of your reactor colleagues is that “MUSIC HAS NO COLOR!” HF did it THEIR WAY and they KILLED it! I think Rob (lead singer here) has a secret Pop/R & B affection. Keep up the great work. Love to you guys!

    Shawn Stockman of B2M gave them a standing ovation on the Sing-Off. He is one of several original performers of songs Home Free has done that have applauded their work, gave them a hand up, and passed the torch on to them. They treat all their songs, in all genres, with all respect and love. Maybe show your son the Country Fried Pop Medley and the Butts Remix next.

    Actually, the beatboxer (Adam Rupp) isn't doing any of the bass-line. That is always done either by Tim Foust (long dark hair on the far left) or Adam Chance (right rear). Tim is a "basso profundo" with a 5+ octave range.

    Loved watching your son sitting there with his mouth hanging open. LOL! It isn't disrespectful to cover a song and do a great job. People argue who did it better, personally I think both versions were great, each in its own slightly different style. Next in your trip down the Home Free rabbit hole, show your son "Butts Remix", official video. I look forward to watching your son falling out of his chair laughing while watching it. Speaking of covers, Simon and Garfunkel recorded "The Sound of Silence" in 1966. The group Disturbed did a cover, "The Sound of Silence" {official music video} which has 772 million views and still counting. Paul Simon, original singer, called David, singer for Disturbed, and told him that his song now belonged to Disturbed. That is the greatest compliment a cover can get.

    • @JaimeDornanLady
      @JaimeDornanLady Před 2 lety

      Respectfully, I have to disagree. These guys have such a great collaboration together using each of their individual talents to hold each song together! If you see & hear them in concert, it’s amazing! Chance is an awesome bass/baritone & does a fantastic job as a lead/solo or taking over as bass when Tim leads, but Tim has a much better range (FIVE octaves!!!), can beatbox, & can hit lower than Chance. Also, on stage, Tim has more of a humorous personality & relates to the audience more. He can hit the highs, but makes the speakers blow & your butt vibrate with his lows, & makes the women drool!!! Austin is an incredible, AMAZING high-tenor, is too hilariously funny & also incredibly relatable with the fans, has his own style, uses his background in musical theatre like no other, & is as much eye candy as Tim is, also making us all drool! Rob is an incredible teddy bear, but has a tenor/baritone voice that can lead, back-up, or rap, & is SMOOTHE as butter! He’s also quite funny, & is a truly nice guy, & can do quite well as a lead, also! As the beatboxer & only remaining founding member of the group, Adam Rupp truly helps hold every song & the group together by keeping the beat! Without that, if a song gets off-beat, it’s over. That’s one of the first things anyone learns doing any kind of music is you have to stay with the beat! He does all the instrumental sounds strictly with his mouth, & pple. think there are hidden instruments somewhere. He is known as the world’s best beatboxer, & although he doesn’t do it often, he also has a great voice, & the audience loves him. All of these guys have tremendous talents, & they all pitch in different qualities to make the songs the hits that they are, whether covers or originals. One of the best things about the group is that they each can do lead or solo, and who does it depends on who does it best/who fits the part better. I personally love that they often change roles within a song, & often change things up or throw something different in to make it their own. Chance & Rupp don’t talk a lot to the audience, followed by Rob, who is usually also pretty quiet, but he does his solos/leads very well & loves to ham it up with his partners & the crowd! Tim & Austin also really ham it up, talking & joking with the fans (& each other!) and that truly draws the fans in even more. I love Chance, & he’s a great singer, but esp. after seeing/hearing HF before he joined, I don’t believe that he “holds every song together” or “ties everything together.” Honestly, they ALL do that! Without one, it’s just not the same. They use each other’s individual talents very well to enhance what they make & what the audience hears, form a collusive product, & provide what each song needs to be superb. #HomeFree is truly the best!!’ #HomeFryForLife

    The walking bass line you hear is Chance. He’s the guy in the back on the right. His name is Adam Chance but everyone calls him Chance so he won’t be confused with Adam Rupp the beatboxer. 😊

    I am so tickled right now. You can see the absolute joy you get in watching Home Free, and that right there is why they have the followers- Home Fries - that they do! I am happy your son got to see it as well. I understood what he was talking about.. I was worried when I first saw they were going to do this song because it is so iconic, but there was no need to worry!
    I love when groups or individuals take a great song and do it justice. I love how white groups will do black music, or black groups will do white music, or a country star will do a song from another genre (check out Chris Stapleton's cover of It's A Man's World as an example). Music knows no color. It is the best vehicle to bring all of us together!
    Thank you for a wonderful and joyful reaction!

    I believe Home Free did this song to show that they are versatile and not just stuck in the Country genre. I don’t feel that they disrespected Boyz 2 Men. Had they striped the song down and remade it totally unrecognizable to the original in a way that was tacky and terrible, than that would be unrecognizable.
    But I would love to see someone from the hiphop genre take on Bohemian Rhapsody. It’d be interesting for sure, if not entertaining… especially those really high opera parts in the middle. 😬

      In that case, have you heard the cover by 4th Impact? It's way more up tempo and faster than the original, it's a fun Pop version

    Think of it this way, Jojo. Boyz II Men opened up a whole new range of expression for Home Free. It's actually a tribute to Black culture. Music has no borders. We're all made richer learning from each other. You can feel proud that songs and singing styles from Black artists have so profoundly influenced the global musical scene. That's how I see it. I'm writing this comment a year after the video was posted. Well done, Van!

  • @janemcginnis-glynn9234

    I’m old, 70 yrs., and from what I’ve seen during my memorable music experience from, say, the late 50’s, is many crossovers. Chubby Checkers, “the King,” Elvis Presley just to name two. Regardless, it’s such a wonderful thing to see people enjoying music and sharing those experiences, no matter the color of their skin. The general public needs to take heed of musicians and the integration of all genres, cultures, etc…. Love you two, father-son reacting. Keep at it. I love it!

    Home Free means no disrespect in any way - they loved the classic so much they tried to do it themselves. What's important is not how good or bad they did it - but the honor meant to B2M for having originally made such a wonderful hit song that itself has already gone into the history books!

  • @brenready2277
    @brenready2277 Před 22 dny

    Home Free did it so well for two reasons, 1) they truly wanted to pay homage to Boy's 2 Men, 2) they are just that talented! Whan they were on that competition show and Shawn was one of the judges, i bet they really wanted his praise more than the other judges. When Boy's 2 Men sang, it made you want to become a singer ...they were just that good.

    The guys all take turns as lead singer depending on what the song requires. They don't have a defined lead singer in this group.
    As stated below in another comment that low bass part is Tim or Chance not the beatboxer.
    Also one of the guys from Boys2Men was a judge/mentor on the show The Sing Off that Home Free won in 2014. I think this was kind of a tribute song for him.

    When people like Home Free, Voice Play, Pentatonix, and others who do covers song, they arrange to their style but keep the original lyric the same. If you take Ring of Fire original done by Johnny Cash it was a slow song, but when Home Free decide to cover it. They wanted give it a upbeat tempo, but not loose the original song. And it would be cool if Jay-Z did a version of Queen songs, and I believe that music is colorless, we all enjoy at the end of the day.
