Austin did an amazing job with this song!!! However, with all due respect to Austin (because I too am a "Home-Fry"), in my humble opinion this song will forever be owned by The Righteous Brother: Bobby Hatfield!!!
The Righteous Brothers version is my favorite too, mainly, because Bobby Hatfield is a cousin of my Mom! I do love Austin, no matter what he sings, he’s my favorite too!
Austin is alright but can´t compete with Bobby. Bobbys soft voice is outstanding, while Austins is sharp and hard and don´t have Bobbys tenderness, soul, control and range. Admit it. In years to come you will still get the same feeling every time you hear him.
I listened to Bobby Righteous just before Austins rendition. Still love Bobby's version best hands down IMO, but Austin did an amazing job on this, esp with just 1 other person . I especially liked the guitar accompaniment keeping it simple. It was all FrenchTastic!
Watching your face, as you listened to this song, made me smile. It was just so cute. Austin is also my favorite member of Home Free, but I think it's for a different reason than yours. LOL. Great reaction, Marie.
Unchained Melody, yes, my all time favorite as well. I just heard Austin sing this song a week ago and was blown away. As always, the only thing better than a great performance is the French Girl watching.
Marie, The only thing better than Austin singing this song is your face listening to Austin sing this song. I've got my "I told you so" look on my face right now.
So nice seeing my suggestion on your screen about Austin :) And very happy you are reacting to his Unchained Melody :) Don't forget he has his own u tube page... Thank you so much..... Jeannie
I was amazed that he has read and commented on so many of his comments !!!! I cant believe he is close to one million views, good for him, he has worked very hard on his music.
I also have had une petite tendresse for Austin ever since I discovered Home Free. HF is a fabulous group; they are all fine singers but Austin is the most adorable. I hope he does well on his own.
Thank you Marie, another great reaction to a awesome timeless song. Also just so you know, when some one says someone is the GOAT they mean (Greatest Of All Time) hope this helps in the future.
Austin's version is fantastic, or should I say "Frenchtastic". I think he really was singing to you Marie, because he had his black cowboy hat on the mantle.
To me its a close second to bobby hatfields cover.i hope it stands the test of time the way bobbys has.you really need to contact him dear.if you do please let us know.your reaction is absolutely priceless thanks for posting this.much love and respect from Michigan👍👍💖💖😁😁
Thanks for the great reaction! You are one of many of us who think Austin isn't just talented, but so nice to look at!!! Watch one of his new originals Off the Grid, it's all him out in nature and man the photography of him is gorgeous!!! Take care.
I like this cover very much. I wasn't aware of Austin Brown before seeing this performance, but I'll have to check him out. I particularly like that he left the song pretty much intact and didn't try to add too much ornamentation.
I thought your reaction to the Righteous Brothers' Unchained Melody was the cutest reaction ever of any reactors. This one was cute too and your crush on both Bobby Hatfield and Austin Brown is adorable.
No one can. He does a good version, but if you notice, he doesn't change any of the rhythms of the song; in essence, he doesn't make it his own. He doesn't "go out on a limb" and change any inflections. It's nice, but Unchained Melody will always be Bobby's song. :-)
@@SweetThing Quite how do you think it's possible to "change the rhythms"?? Did you expect him to turn the song into a polka? Lord alone knows what you mean by "inflections" - as an English teacher for 20 years, I can tell you that there is no meaning of the word that would make sense here. You also need to realise that this was not a full-blown recording, with all the tools available to a producer to polish the sound. In fact Austin did not intend it for anyone but his patrons, and only his gf's wish to put more content on his channel resulted in it being released. It has had 13 million views, which suggests that not everyone belongs to the Original Is Always Best brigade.
You know, the first time I heard Home Free was Man of Constant Sorrow, and truth be told, it was Tim's bass voice I fell in love with. I have never been a big fan of tenors. But in the 3 years since then, I have fallen madly in love with this beautiful young man's golden voice. There is nothing he can't do. Have you heard him try singing opera? Look up Two Country Singers try Singing Opera....Nessun Dorma. He and Rob are amazing. He just gets better every year. God has blessed him with such talent. And I think he was so nice to send you that message. He's such a lovely soul.
Marie, please don't hate me, I made a post on this Austin Brown video, and he answered my post! GASP 😱 I hope he answers the post you left for him. 🙏 I'm so happy!
This is just a beautiful video.....he should hit 1million views soon! I replay this video every morning at least 3 times! GOAT= Greatest Of All Time! Check out Austin's cover of Dock Of The Bay!
Bonjour Marie! Ummm...do you need a towel, or a sponge? I'm pretty sure you were drooling, perspiring, etc... I'm glad you got to enjoy this. Merci d'avoir partagé! ~Be Blessed
Marie, at first I thought that you were singing along with Austin, but then I realized that you were singing TO him! And you even blushed a little. Very cute! Great reaction. ✌️😎
