Whose the real winner in this battle? Us, the audience. These amazing performers display their incredible talents for us to enjoy. Personally I'm grateful to be able to enjoy both them and their amazing groups every day

This was how I discovered Geoff/VP, through a 2019 Bass Battle video! Having listened intently and with utter jaw dropping amazement, I thought they were all amazing. But it was the smooth, richness of Geoffs voice that captured my attention and I've been delightedly obsessed with him and VoicePlay ever since! 🙂👍

All about that bass, 'bout that bass, 'bout that bass * settles in with popcorn *

All three of these guys killed it. As one poster pointed out, the real winner was us, the audience. Now, if I had to choose one of them to 'break the ribbon with their chest just ahead of the others' - I think I'd have to go with Geoff. Two reasons for this before I secure myself from an incoming bombardment 💥 One - Geoff had the lowest pure chest note and two - it seemed he sustained those notes, generally, for longer periods of time. Come to think of it, he had the only A0, even if he only touched on it on that slide down in _Enemy_ . Great reaction, Saucey...get working on that list! 😁

Still love my Avi Kaplan. 🎶🎙🎵

2022 just means that it’s current UP TO 2022. They pulled from all years previous. You have a lot of VoicePlay and Geoff to catch up on!

All three of them are absolutely amazing give you Goosebumps and send shivers down your spine..

Here's a Christmas song we were very surprised to hear, from Avi's Houston show just a couple of days ago, shot by an audience member. This is the first time we've heard him do a Christmas song since leaving PTX, but I think it may have been a special request by a fan, and they ended the show with it. It was a last minute thing, so the band hadn't had much time to rehearse, but considering that, they did good, and they put a different spin on it. And Avi's beautifully resonant voice shines through. kzread.info/dash/bejne/Z5eqxJSqf7iWn5M.html

And you go back 16 years, when he was just 17, and here's a video of him singing this same song, playing the same guitar, at a high school concert. (Yes, a beardless teenage Avi.) kzread.info/dash/bejne/qaamxLWIlqerpJs.html

He sang it at the Dallas show too, I think that was the first time and it was beautiful! I’m so happy I was there to see (and film) it!

I've asked a number of times for you to watch PTX Light in the Hallway...Avi lead, written by Scott and I think Mitch as a lullaby for his baby nephew, Scott said he always heard Avi singing it while writing.

There is still a lot of Avi solo music you haven't reacted to Nick. Plus there are so many fan filmed songs from his recent tour that are excellent!

Those 2 Avi clips early on - the first is him with a few of the staffers at A Cappella Academy in 2019 just having fun in a stairwell at the university near LA where ACA was held until this year. Just messin' around. The other was from the April 2019 Avi Kaplan Honor Choir Festival (with 200+ young singers) and they're singing "Take Me Home", a PTX original that was co-written apparently by Kirstin and Kevin.

They are not the only winners, we are all winners by listening to them.

Tim Foust is still the king ❤❤❤

The video where Tim blew the speakers in 2015 at a fair..he went to a G0

Tim has them on "clarity" with the very low notes.

Tim's C2 Ring of Fire bit was captured from a video I recorded at the Winnipeg, Manitoba show in 2022. It was unique, as Chance had COVID and was out of the line up (and stuck in Winnipeg) for a few shows. We got to see extra bassiness from Tim as he covered his and Chance's lines in most of the songs (they fortunately had some recordings of the Toronto show a few days earlier and Adam Rupp did his magic extracting various bits out of the Toronto recorded songs so there were occasionally multiple Tim tracks for instance... Tim singing Chance lead and Tim background, or vice versa). There are a few songs on my channel, including Ring of Fire from the Chance-less Winnipeg show). I've been to four Home Free shows, and they were all spectacular! And Rob looked so sad in this clip as he has no one to rub shoulders with as he typically does in this part of the performance!

Yes, check out Avi’s version of O Holy Night from his show this week! kzread.info/dash/bejne/Z5eqxJSqf7iWn5M.html Such a special treat! Here’s the Born in CA one you asked about: kzread.info/dash/bejne/rJyj0MGwpc7Adrg.html

17:43 that is the one time all of them have sung together, it was on Chris's channel a few years after the switch here it is kzread.info/dash/bejne/qm2qrZhqddW7lpM.html

Most of these are older songs. Heart of Life is the first one VoicePlay did after Earl left, and it’s one of my favorites. Sad, but beautiful. And no beatboxing, so you hear Layne sing throughout. I’d ask you to react to it, but judging from seeing what I’ve seen, I’ll bet VoicePlay will be low on your ‘catching up’ list.

The song you asked about with both Chris and Chance was released shortly after Chris went solo , so Chris asked the guys to do this one called WHAT CHILD IS THIS and then he had a cameo in their cover of Bing Crosby´s WHITE CHRISTMAS [ Where he gives Chance the pitchpipe to show that Chance was the perfect guy to replace him ]

I'm here for any of the Voiceplay songs!

It's fascinating to me how sound works. I'm not the best at physics, but I love to learn this stuff. There's so many weird nerfs to these low notes that the nature has made, it's insane. The wavelength reaches such absurd values that you can't really reproduce the main tone with most speakers, and even if you have a super subwoofer it's really tricky since the room's own resonance frequency comes at play, it has to be positioned in a specific place (ever wondered why church organs are that big and have specific room shapes?) and will most likely sound really muddy because the volume of air pushed is so big that it takes significant time to push around, so the overtones become sharper and sharper as the note goes lower. Finally, the human ear can technically register ~20 Hz as a sound but you actually stop hearing most notes' main tones after like 40 Hz (that's one of the reasons upright basses and 4-string bass guitars rarely go lower than E1). However, you can still hear the overtones and make your brain believe there's a really low sound somewhere down there. You can even go below E0 (~20.6 Hz) and still distinguish the sound if the instrument/speaker is good enough. That's actually how subharmonics work, you sing a note but make it connect only on every other hit so it appears half as high and way less clear than a "real" note. We can perceive bass frequencies that are way lower than this, but it's almost impossible to make any music with them. There is legit only _one_ classical music piece that requires an octobasse, but I feel like these frequencies can and should be utilised occasionally. If a singer can produce such a sound, it's so cool to hear it. Look up "Tim Foust breaks sound system" btw, he has done it multiple times and it's hilarious

Yes, there were 6 HF members for the video "What Child Is This?"

Chris Rupp featured Home Free in What Child is This on his solo channel. They are also both in House Party, but Chance is just a guest at the party and not actually sining. It was before he joined the group, but they were friends for a long time. He competed on The Sing-Off with Street Corner Symphony.

the great part is all 3 of the guys are friends and have known each other for a very long time. Avi is in Home Free videos all the time doing fun stuff, Tim has helped Goeff get his deep growl voice going and all kinds of very fun stuff.

Hi SauceyDad Happy New Year man love you’re channel keep it up

Remember the guys does not like being compared like this

That was awesome - all three digging their way through Earth to China!

Tim and Avi are great bass singers.¡

Change on the Rise, I'm ready to run through walls, it's like an ultimate battle groove.

Let's face it; any bass who can reach the very left keys on a piano 🎹 is a winner!

The Heart if Life was made when Earl left VoicePlay and they wanted to say something about that. (Also The Bones) Just as Man in the Mirror was J.None's explanation for leaving the group. They do this a lot. Be Good was the first one they did after J/None left, to say "We're good". Other examples: Queen in 5 Minutes when Earl had a health scare; and We Will Survive, when lockdown happened.

So very awesome! Love your reaction!

The best 3 bass guys ever.

What Child is This is a Chris Rupp featuring Home Free, so all 6 are in it. It’s beautiful and on Chris’s channel.

That was entertaining Saucy Dad! They're all good & everyone has their favorite ~ but I'm partial to Avi Kaplan. 🥰 Thanks for doing this bass battle, I enjoy your reactions.

That was fun Saucy dad. I heard they all may be doing a video together. Can you imagine?! They’ll start an earthquake!!! Have a wonderful Christmas.

The version of What Child Is This with both Chance & Chris is on Chris Rupp's KZread channel! It's amazing - check it out! 💖

17:45 Chris teamed up with Home Free about a year after he left the group to do some Christmas songs in St.Paul. The cave they shot the video in is quite distinctive.

That was a good catch with Chris Rupp AND Adam Chance.

I think Avis clips are from his recent tour and the class he teachers at a college (I forgot the name of it). I agree, Avi Change on the rise is my favorite song

Since The Sing Off and Pitch Perfect, acapella singing has become more prolific, and these 3 base singers are a big part of why it is now so popular. And just because Pentatonix is a 3 time Grammy winning group has helped the acapella world become more popular. So there are way more videos out there than you might think..... will take a lot of months to do them all.

Also, a LIVE version of Home Free doing "honey Im good".... 😲😵🤯🥰🥰

There's a battle of the baritones you should check out.

yes they are I've seen them Loved them all

Love that song by Avi! I'm a Home Fry but I think Avi is great.

Hey look up the lucky charms thing. I had never seen it. Pretty cool. Shows the arranging of it

Home Free: Full of Cheer written by Tim should be on your list! Brilliant! 😊

Check out Geoffs "mele kalikimaka". It's great. Imma die hard home Fry, but it's awesome

Did you put the link in the description correctly? It says the video isn't available.

Avi is the best.

Alot of those are not 2022. Voiceplay definitely. They did many other songs that are and not from 2020. If J None was in it it's definitely not 2022. Cesar is though.

I think its a funny thing, I don't remember who said it, but they said if Geoff, Tim and Avi sang together in bass, a Black Hole would open up.

Not sure what you mean by "Avi does not sing bass anymore". Sure he does. He is a Bass he just has a great range.

Geoff and Tim almost sound alike

Tim

As far as resonance and power, it goes Geoff, Tim, and Avi in that order. Not to say all three aren't awesome singers. And, yes, Avi's "Change on the Rise" is an incredible song - it's on my playlist. Geoff is, by far, my favorite among the three, but solo wise, Avi has some serious bangers.

It’s Avi for me 🤷🏻‍♀️

Avi does sing bass still. On his own tunes. 8) Look up ptx natural disaster live. rofl!

The volume on your videos has been very low fora while.

Now that Avi is singing lead instead of backing harmonies all the time I notice the low notes but don't go crazy about them. It's just where he feels comfortable singing. Tim likes to sing higher in his range. Neither of them, Avi or Tim, use subharmonics, just chest voice, so Geoff is the king there. If you want to hear another bass just for fun try Elliott Michael, Homefree's old bass. "Not That Mean (A Grinch Rebuttal)"

I think it's time to take Avi out of these Bass Battles. Whereas Tim and Geoff are still continuing to be basses, Avi is not. His low bass notes are now just accents and not subharmonics to frankly get listeners to "oo and ah". He does, however play around a bit on IG and TikTok, such as his entry into the "Hoist the Colors" fray: kzread.infotj5CFmnyLSI

At the Houston VIP someone asked if he was going to learn subharmonics and he said “maybe…I’ve thought about practicing it.” I wanted to shout “noooooooo!” but refrained. I really hope he doesn’t. I just love his bass exactly as it is and can’t listen to anything w subharmonics in it.

@@charlottevan_8 No slamming here. I thought the same thing, though most often from Geoff. Yeah, it's cool that they can reach down to their toes to get those sounds, but to my ear, it sounds more of an unpleasant noise than hitting clear, clean notes. I could listen to the warm, rich tone of Avi's voice all day, but I have to take what Geoff often does in small doses. Avi should develop a deeper bass as he gets older (from what I've read on the subject), but I think he'll retain that velvety smooth, clear sound from his lowest bass notes. To me, it's all about tone and that is where Avi has is over the rest. Tim is second in that department, and Geoff is a distant 3rd. Can Geoff go lower then the others ? Heck yeah, but if it doesn't appeal to the ear, it's not something I care to listen to all the time. They're all wonderfully talented, it's simply a matter of personal preference.

Pentatonix isn't the same without Avi. They lack bass. Avi is great and is missed in the Pentatonix

Tim Foust has the lowest recorded live note....Tim Foust by far

I don't think most of these are good to show their ranges.
