AUSTIN BROWN Bring Him Home | Vocal Coach Reacts (& Analysis) | Jennifer Glatzhofer 

HONORED by this reaction. Thank you for sharing our music! Hope out paths cross down the line! :-D

His offglides on his vowels are so well planned and executed! Support is phenomenal! 😭Left me a crying fool!

Yes, he has a degree in music theatre. Got his start singing with his father's Gospel group as a young boy.

Not only is Austin a marvelous singer, but his pianist us exquisite. What a ending!

I....LOVE....musical theater nerds who share with the rest of us musically inept garden gnomes !!!

I think you'll like his Unchained Melody cover. Home Free also did a cover of the song recently, but Austin has one on his own in his RU-vid channel.

The most amazing part of this video is how calm he is while his television is on fire!

Hands down your break downs and analyses are the best on RU-vid. Your knowledge is unparalleled, and your observations are keen and always spot on. And to top it off, you’re authentic. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Thank you. I’m an old 76 year old lady, flute and opera many years ago. Austin’s my cathartic rest.

….. Here is your Grammy Austin 🏆❤️.

I discovered Austin Brown about 3 months ago and I’m now hooked, what a wonderful voice and I love his funny ditty songs with his wife too.

This man has and is a gift!

Austin Brown Georgia on my mind will blow your y 👍❤️🔥🎉

I would love to hear him do Empty Chairs at Empty tables or Stars!!! He would ROCK them both!

When I was young,I didn’t have the opportunity to learn music or take an instrument. Now that I’m retired,I’m taking full opportunity to do so. When I listen to vocal coaches,like yourself, you expand my enjoyment by pointing out what I otherwise would have missed. It makes the experience so much richer. For that I thank you. 🌹

You're passion for musical theatre is showing. No need for facial expressions this time, because the hands did all of the talking. The "Home Alone" pose at the end was classic.

Wow! Austin is a master of phrasing!

He was working in the music theatre on a Disney(?) cruise ship when Home Free came on as guest entertainers. He just clicked with them and when a member was retiring a few months later, they turned to Austin. Of course he said yes.

Every time I watch this it cracks me up that they have a fireplace right there... And yet a yule tide log playing on the TV! (Iknow the baby grand blocks the full fireplace view, but still....)

Loved your reaction! Have you heard Austin sing Tears in Heaven and Danny Boy? He is a genius and such a lovely human being! Can't get enough of him! I keep listening to When a Man Loves a Woman (brilliant) and his perfection of Unchained Melody! Angels fly out of his mouth and heart!!! Sandy in Palm Springs

If you reach out to Austin he loves to interview with youtubers

Truly magnificent just wow and that last note amazing

Your reaction to this is by FAR my favorite. Your technical knowledge is matched by your passion. Thank you.

Thank you Jennifer for another amazing musical analysis. Austin is just so dang good ! I would *HIGHLY* recommend you listen to an original co-written by Austin, that is beautiful..."If I met you now" I think it too shows off Austin's wonderful voice & talent

Loved it. That last note is so grand. It’s such a beautiful song too. The subject matter is incredibly powerful. Loved Sebastien’s piano playing too…amazing. Good reaction Jennifer.😃

Hello Jen, I have just listened to your comments on Austin Brown’s Bring Him Home, I am lost for words,magical.

I've listened to several singers singing this song and I love Austin's version the best. I think it has something to do with pace, pauses, etc. He seems to be taking his time and his reverence for the song shines through, not just hurrying through it waiting for the standing ovation. Also the casual setting with just the pianist and Austin dressed up a bit gives the performance a recital sort of feel. And his gestures give the song a prayerful tone. I feel he means what he's singing, every beautiful word.

He went to college on a full music scholarship - his degree is in Music Theater. He's also a terrific song writer. If you haven't seen his originals ("California Country", "Love Me Like That", "Lonely Girls World", "Save the World" & "Remember My Name") and on his channel "If I Met You Now", "Real Talk", "Off the Grid" & "Take the Night Off" among others.

He’s magnificent.

Austin has been improving on this piece for many years, and the result is perfection!! 🔥💖

You just had to resolve the note at the end didn’t you ?? 😂👍 Funny, I hummed the same thing after hearing him ( the 1st time ) go up at the end. Couldn’t leave me hanging!! Lol I love your analysis and appreciation of great voices…

Thank you so much Jennifer! I appreciate your reaction! I love your explanations and you have an Amazing voice! I Love Austin's voice, it's so beautiful and I love the connection he has with the music and the listener. He feels the lyrics within himself so genuinely and pour's out his soul, then lay's it directly in front of us delivering it straight into our heart! He fills me with emotion every single time he preforms. I'm not sure if you know but Austin was born and raised in South Georgia and the little bit of twang is because of his natural southern accent. When he was in classical theater he worked really hard on losing his accent. However when he joined Home Free the management told him it would be fine to use his accent since they were predominantly a country group. So he fell back into it. Listen to his regular talking voice! He is very country and dial's it down pretty well when he need's to but because he talks with it all the time it probably requires much more work to lose and control it. I'm also from South Georgia and was born and raised just a few minutes from Austin's hometown (I still live in S.Ga ) so yeah, the twang is VERY heavy here. I love hearing him talk! Do you know what would be wonderful? An Austin and Jennifer collaboration! Austin has just dropped another release on Thursday I think it was. May I please request your reaction to it? It's entitled - " I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO LOVE YOU ANYMORE " Also please react to our favorite Basso Profundo Tim Foust! You just might be surprised with those two! I can't hardly wait to see your face when you hear them! " WILL YOU STILL LOVE ME TOMORROW/STAY " & " COME GO WITH ME " Have a great weekend!❤️🍟

This is an emotional song, sung with emotion and that hit mine. Glad to see it did yours too and not just a nurd fest.

He is incredible as he always is! The way he sings words makes you lean in and wait for more! Love him so much. Love Home Free and Austin is such so darn talented how he can sing full-on country twang (which he has of course) and then the training it took for him to sing without it. His "wailing" in their songs, just all of it's wonderful. For another take on his great emotional singing watch Tears in Heaven. Wow! Take care.

One of the best voices I have ever head!

Great reaction. Please check out Tim Foust's solo Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow / Stay. It showcases his full range.

First three notes and I've got the chills. That last note leaves me breathless. And I love every line in between. I think this video if the first time I noticed how expressive his hands and gestures are. As you say, just wow!

Such a beautiful song! I've never heard this before that I can remember. 101 Flintstone Ave. is the address of the rock I live under. Great reaction young lady! I tried to sing along and while you and Austin may have been on a C# I was not even in the alphabet but as the saying goes " Just because I can't sing doesn't mean I won't sing."

Austin is just amazing 🥰🥰 loved your reaction ❤️

Always enjoy your reactions and learn something new each time, Thank YOU!!!!

First time hearing him and wow, he's an amazing singer! Great range! He doesn't overdue it. Congrats on 40k subscribers! You deserve all the support. Great channel!

Lovely reaction and analysis, Austin has a phenomenal voice and great training, this song as well as his cover of At Last, show it well.

Apart from Austin’s beautiful voice I love the way he uses his hands to express himself ,,,, and a real sexy look in his eyes ,, loved his performance 👏👏👏👏

Love your reaction to this amazing song. Your facial expressions and emotion during the performance made this reaction very enjoyable. This song always touches my heart. You have a lovely voice! Would love to hear you sing this with Austin.

Austin did a wonderful heart wrenching cover on this! Home Free also did this just after they started, Chris Rupp was in the group then. There are 4 live versions. (the very first is best by only a little smidgen) These are more theatrical. Austin has his theatrics showing! Thanks for your comments!

Beautiful rendition 👏👏👏

Holy WOW. More than BEAUTIFUL.

You should listen to Austin sing this at a Home Free show from 12 years ago. AMAZING!!!!!

Austin Brown is the BOMB 💣

Jennifer, I found your analysis enlightening and spot on. It is clear that Austin has taken the time to craft nearly every note into a performance unto itself. Each attack, sustain, and release have clearly been carefully considered and masterfully executed. For me, this results in a profoundly moving experience. Like many people, I like to sing along with Austin when I am listening alone in the privacy of my home. I do this despite having neither the vocal cords or the training to faithfully mimic him. The thing that causes me to stumble more than anything else, however, is the overwhelming emotions this song and performance inspire. It quite simply guts me. I have listened to several other performances of this song by other performers. I found them well done and enjoyable. None of them, however, strike me to the core like Austin's performance. Austin makes it clear, this is a man baring his soul to God in a desperate plea to save the life of another. It is amazing to me that Austin sings the same words and sings, more or less, the same notes as others, yet his performance is so very different. Austin comments after the performance that they had been working on this song a long time. IMO, it was time very well spent.

This was beautiful. I love to hear your analysis of the vocal choices Austin is making. Thanks for your reaction

I saved your reaction to watch again. Your thoughts and feelings matched Austin's and added so much!

You really need to watch everything that is on his RU-vid channel. He has originals and covers there. Really enjoyed watching your reaction to Austin and the song. I wanted to let you know that he did this with the group early on in 2014-2016 live in concerts. You will be able to see how much his voice has grown since then.

Great song, great performance. Always fun watching you get sucked into what they're doing.

This rendition from Austin is so beautiful thank you for this review and reaction 😊

Just something else - this A. Brown form Tifton, Georgia ..... a remarkable High Tenor voice. GBjj

Wow. Just...wow.

I'm a new subscriber and loved you reaction to Austin singing this beautiful but sad song! Austin is theatrically trained and spent several years performing on cruise ships. I love going to his channel and listening to he and Sébastien. Also is fun behind the scenes at home videos. He's just so good !! Waves 👋 from Kansas USA

AUSTIN😥😥😥😥😥😥😥. You’ve made me weep. TY! Pray you will do more of this. PLEASE🙏

If you have never heard Austin sing "At Last" in the same key as Etta James you are missing something. His voice is so pure and lovely. Give it a listen.

I saw Les Misérables a few years back. I hate to say it, but my wife had to drag me there. I knew I was going to hate it. One of the best things I've ever seen. Just amazing.

Not many can do this song justice. Mad props to Austin. So nice to see an experienced singer react. Great commentary!

Thank you! Loved your analysis. Austin emotes so much emotion through his voice that I couldn't listen to this in its entirety to begin with. It just moved me so much into my own emotions, Austin and Home Free has that quality, that it was unbearable. One reactor said he felt as if he actually was in the middle of the story, for the very reason. Austin does extensive breath work, outside of his normal voice practice, every morning, and he also meditates at least once, but often twice, a day. He works on the connection with his breath, voice as well as heart and soul with dedication daily. It shows, it's felt, and it's very much appreciated. Oh, and I saw someone mentioning interviewing Austin. If that's something you want to look into just reach out to him through his website and they'll fill you in on the possibility. He loves talking and he's super easy and fun to talk to. Thanks for the reaction! 🥰🙏

Lovely reaction!!

Love how you manage to give expert comment and at the same time let the vocals reach the heart.

An amazing performance by Austin! He never disappoints. And your enthusiasm and awe of his performance shines through. Fantastic reaction Jen! You never disappoint either. Wonderful video! Can't wait for the next one. Hope you have an awesome weekend, lady!

Love your reactions to Home Free videos and to one of my favourite tenors in your last two reactions. So, new sub here in the hope of future delightful Home Free/ Austin reactions and reviews. Shout out and well done to Sebastien on a captivating turn at the piano. Thank you and Cheers!

Absolutely breathtaking. Thanks for your reactions.

I hear the start of the song as a gesture to the celestial

Thanks!

His hand are so big and beautiful, they speak as much as his words!

You can really hear his Musical Theater training in this song, Beautiful

Austin never ceases to amaze.❤️

Touched my soul🥰

Your reactions are mesmerizing. You are so involved your love of music shows. Your beauty also makes watching you exciting. Thank you.

Nothing to add really except that I cried through the whole thing, it was just so beautiful and touching. ❤️❤️❤️

Excellent reaction.

Perfection!

Thank you very much Jennifer for reacting to Austin...now that you have a new subscriber in me

I saw this reaction the day you did it(as well as watched the video when Austin released it). His video and your reaction never get old just like that final opt up always makes me well up inside. I'm an old theater kid and Les Mis is tied for first place in my book even though I never had the privilege of performing them. I guess I still could though I'm very out of practice. You keep doing you my dear. You are glorious

I watch this video of Austin and you at least once daily if not more. I love the song and your analysis and also love hearing your voice.

I had to sub you just because you enjoy Austin Brown. His music is fantastic. Thank you for being a fan.

Wow!!

Excellent reaction. Thank you so much. Just subscribed!

When Austin scales the volume back, I lean forward. He draws me in even further. I noticed you have the same reaction!

Yesss finally 😊

Sky high talent!!💗

Awesome! Love to hear him sing “Never Enough” from Greatest Showman and have your reaction,

I would LOOOVVVEEE to hear him do "Empty Chairs at Empty Tables"!!!

WOW

How you have an great and awesome weekend Jennifer 😀

so gorgeous.

As mentioned below... I see your passion Jennifer, it is "almost" equal to the passion that Austin is bringing here . Fantastic reaction and analysis for a fantastic performance. Thanks!

I don't think I've ever seen anyone so excited 😆

I love Austin Brown and Home Free!!!! And yet, people disparage country music performers. He was trained in musical theatre/ Thx for your reaction.

this was done back in 2015 or so with all the boys. Was beautiful even with just cellphone recording.

Jennifer I would love to hear you sing this song if you don’t mind!

Have you ever seen the Broadway production of Les Mis? I remember seeing the complete Broadway roadshow in Hollywood many years ago. I remember the curtain opening and I looked at the sets and all I could say, is I’m looking at, at least, $1 million or more, of sets, on the stage now. And that’s before the production even started. When you see the full production, live in performance, this song affects you so deeply, that you actually begin to tremble a little bit.

Home Free does this song as part of their concerts, and Austin absolutely belts this out. I don't know if it's because of the difference between performing for a live audience as compared to a studio setting, but there is a distinct difference in how he presents the song. I would highly suggest that you also listen to his concert version of this song, it is so powerful.

Please prepare a video reacting to Rob and Austin singing opera.
