It’s a travesty that Foreigner is not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. So many bangers.

The singer Lou Gramm lives in my hometown. I was out to breakfast about 6 months ago and he sat at the table next to me. He is such a good guy and down to earth. You'd never know by talking to him that he sang some of the greatest songs of his generation.

As a music artist yourself, the Foreigner song you need to check is "Juke Box Hero" if you learn the backstory of the song and who wrote it and why they wrote it, I think you will be able to relate.

It's the New Jersey choir. The harmonies are amazing

Agree that when I'm having a down day, THIS is the music I want to listen to, this era - not the sad depressing stuff that is today's sound.

I don't even listen to the music of today, country isn't even the same as it used to be in the 60's & 70's. This group is from the 70's & early 80's, love all of their songs. Listen to the 70's group Styx "The Grand Illusion" album, it rocks. The baby boomers generation had the best music of all time. Keep reacting to the past and you will see why it was and is the best. People don't sing like that now, everything is digitally done and you are not hearing their real voice. Back in the 50's, 60's and 70's all that you heard was their real voice, just the singer, a microphone and instruments. You had to have a great voice to make it in that business back then, now not so much. You learn something new everyday and you are learning to love the music that we the baby boomers listened too. We did have a great time back then, love ,peace and war "Vietnam". A lot of the songs back then were written about the war, calling for Peace. Woodstock was part of that Era too, all about peace, love and the war. Peace out baby✌️❤

I'm a classically trained violinist who spent the last 10 years working at the pretty big music venue, and saw live music almost every night. If you actually go out and see music you'll realize there's tons of amazing bands today, like Fleet Foxes, Whitney, Bahamas, Hiss Golden Messenger, Kacey Musgraves, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, Paul Cauthen, Bleachers...

One of the best songs of any decade.

This was one request before my dear momma passed. She made me promise to play this at her funeral. Her last wish was made. My momma loved her 80s’!

One of Foreigner’s greatest hits!!! Been on my playlist for decades!! 😊

I heard it on the 80's Miami Vice as a background. I can see the scene it came in on. Lots of tears. The song stays with you for your lifetime. I'm 78 and still brings up memories.

At the live show, for this album, a local radio station had a contest, and 100 of us were lucky enough to be on stage and sing this with foreigner

This song was written about my life. I met the most beautiful and amazing woman 40 years ago at the lowest point of my life. I was broken. She introduced me to Jesus. That was a life changer. God has blessed us abundantly as He made her my wife!!!!!! These was the turing point of my life serving Him under His lead our lives!❤ We are now closer and deeper in love than ever. Grateful tĥat we all are blessed with amazing divine health! So, we enjoy listening to the 70s & 80s music, especially this song, when we go out crusing in the exotic speed machine I bought her a few months ago for her birthday, just because I like her. She still looks hotter than the car, and I don't mind that kind of problem! On top of that, we have 7 wonderful adult children and our 5 priceless grandchildren. I consider myself to be the most blessed man alive!!!!!

I would have loved that. Journey was my favorite and I loved Foreigner as well

This is one of their ballads, they normally put out bangers and rockers.

My late Daddy absolutely adored Foreigner!🙏 He had all their early hits on 8-track, so they were always blasting in the house when I was a little baby. I highly recommend taking a listen to "Urgent." It's on that "Cold As Ice" vibe but soooo much better. There's a killer sax solo in that one you're gonna love!♥️🎷

It is the 1980s. The greatest decade ever.

The "hook" in this song has been in several movies.

I like their song “Double Vision”, a lot of their songs were late 70’s but this one was 80’s and probably was their biggest hit! Would love to see you do some Styx my favorite is “Renegade” love watching your journey into these classics!❤️‍🔥✌🏻🫶🏻

I was watching one of those singing competition, not sure which one, and the title of the song comes up "I wanna know what love is," by......Mariah Carey. I couldn't believe it. I hate when these kids drop today give credit to the cover of the song they are covering, instead of the original.

What was amazing about Lou Gramm, even after 20-30 years his voice was still great. One of the best rock singers of all time

When you did the other Foreigner song I was disappointed because everybody knows THIS is their GOAT!!!

"Everything is dystopian now" Never a truer word.

I just love watching your reactions to all the music I grew up with. I'm a 64 year old woman and to watch you and other young people enjoy "real" music and fall in love with it is wonderful! Back in the day artist did not have all the equipment that the artist use today. They had true talent! Love to you and bless you!

He was just feeling the music. He has soul.

This song just gets me to the core every time I hear it.

We had the best music! I wish I could go back to the 70’s -80’s

Lou Gramm, the lead singer, has an excellent solo song called "Midnight Blue". Great song to listen to.

I like these reactions because it's getting really rare to get an honest reaction to something like this. It's like seeing gold for the first time. Now with AI we will have a hard time seeing what is real. This is real, a reaction to something really truly unique in time. You can't get that more than once. It's more rare than gold and will become even more rare in the future because we all get more and more connected through time and space. Those of us that lived through the times of these songs have a special place, but also those of you that haven't heard these songs yet and can still react to it. That's also gold.

Foreigner is the best live band in the world and have a huge following in both the US and the UK for forty years now. This was the big hit of album 5. The song that you really need to hear is "JUKE BOX HERO", there are live versions of this which include Led Zeppelin`s Whole Lotta Love in the guitar solo. "Urgent" is another banger by this group, once you`ve heard it ,its there forever.

There are no rules! Do whatever TF u want, and those of us who really rock with u will stick around for the ride! I'm 💯 down for Mariah & Sam Cooke!!

Yes M. Carey did record this, but Foreigner is the original. It has been used in movies, and there are a lot of covers out there.

The video along with the song to me it is all forms of love are in there!

Foreigner has a ton of memorable tracks: I see you did Cold as Ice... check out Jukebox Hero when you get a chance.

dont think they done a bad song, so many well known hits, luv the reactions,hot blooded, juke box hero, urgent, cold as ice, dirty white boy, double vision, head games, long long way from home, feels like the 1st time, a few just for starters, hope you enjoy. best wishes rose from oxford england. ❤❤❤

Welcome to Lou Graham, and Foreigner one of the best voices EVER!!!!! When this song is performed in concert, they usually have a choir contest for a group of school kids usually, to sing background in this song.

Long, long way from home is another great banger from them

They had several great songs. Long long way from home is a must do.

Wow-I love Foreigner!! Thank you!! I have several favorites-they have so many!! Like “Cold as Ice”, “Urgent , “Head Games”, “Feels Like the First Time”, “Hot Blooded”, “Double Vision”!! So many great songs-this took me back to my teenage days!! Thanks so much!! 🎵🥳

Foreigner 4 is an awesome album!

It was a monster hit and you just explained why. It still hits me HARD. Keep on, really like your style, you are serious and have humour, your points always makes sense. Well i think i,ve told you this before but i can do it again haha.

This was the best Couple Skate or Snowball Skate of the 80's!😅 This takes be back... Way back!!❤ I love watching you discover new music!

In addition to the voice work the bass line is absolutely outstanding!! One of my all time favorite songs of love. Great reaction analysis as always man. As we say in Texas; y'all be safe.

watch the movie 'Rock of Ages', this song takes on a whole different meaning

Foreigner was a favourite of mine and Lou Gramm has a beautiful amazing voice and the band is wonderful. Lou went through a very serious brain tumour & was told he was terminal when he went to the doctor complaining of blurred vision and massive head aches. He went home to get his affairs in order and he watched a program in TV and there was a doctor being interviewed and he was a brain specialist and was speaking about a very new surgery that he does for inoperable tumours. The next day was Friday and Lou contacted that doctor and by Tuesday he was in the operating room having it removed. He survived and had to overcome a lot but he’s still here and is a wonderful human. I enjoy your reactions and thanks for sharing.

They brought the choir in and the nailed it on the first take!

This is one of my favourite songs of my teenage years. Came out when I was 13. Love it!

love watching you learn..

Another great classic band from 70's.

No one can sing it like LG...❤

I saw Foreigner when this song was big. I can still remember the crowd's reaction when the choir (in robes) came out! It was a local college's choir. It hadn't even occurred to me that they would have a choir!

Foreigner were a huge stadium band. This was their biggest song worldwide. And Lou Gramm has one of the best voices ever. The other big ballad from was "Waiting for a girl like you" But they were primarily a rock band and a dam good one too. Another group of the same era. You may like to check out is Journey. You may know one or two of their songs. They also had one of the best vocalist ever in Steve Perry. Another huge band with some great ballads like "Open Arms" and some great rock songs like "Separate Ways" And you might know their most famous song " Don't stop believing " Whatever you choose to do I'll be hear to watch it. One of my favorite channels on the tube.

I never stop lisften to this song, so BEAUTIFUL❤

Foreigner "WAITING FOR A GIRL LIKE YOU" and "THAT WAS YESTERDAY" are my favorite songs ever by them. soo good ❤❤ (studio versions)

I saw Foreigner, Derringer & Cheap Trick !! It was before Breakfast in America album came out!! Great concert!!

When Foreigner came to my town , they asked the kids at the local high school choir to sing the backup

Saw them in concert in 86 with Cheap Trick opening. One of the best shows I've ever seen.

One of the best groups love love this

Love Foreigner they were so big in the 70’s and 80’s

Lou Gramm has such an amazing and for us old heads an unmistakable voice. I love Lou’s song Lost In The Shadows from the Lost Boys movie.

Seeing this song live was amazing. They toured with the choir back then.

Bro, I love your channel....full stop. But you are killing me when you react to these iconic songs, and say "I know I've heard this somewhere.". Yes, yes you have! They are in movies, TV shows, elevators, grocery stores, commercials, airports, every adult contemporary radio station in the country. You know them without knowing them, because they're in our culture. Our subconscious! They're played everywhere. 😁 Keep On Keepin' on, I love watching you learn these new songs in a whole different light

You're into some great music in your Journey!❤

Lou gramm is the single most underrated singer of the 80s. He’s an absolute beast.

Jukebox Hero 🤘

They are being inducted into the rock hall of fame this year

Fantastic concerts. Those were the days.

Lou Gramm and Mick Jones were monster writers and voices of the 79's

The first album I bought with my own money was Foreigner 4 in 1981. I was 11. Love them! ❤❤❤

That actor was Daniel Stern in "Home Alone." The blonde guy....

You know you're listening to URGENT next, right?

Foreigner 4, : best ever - That was yesterday - live. ❤

I'm not a musician, I'm a writer. Introductions are very important, conflict, build-up, repeats, climaxes, and conclusions are very important. Every time I hear that intro I listen intently because I remember the rest of the song. After the first time hearing, it's not unusual for some other part of the song to lend importance to the intro, thereafter. There are many songs that build and build and once you've heard them a few times they hook you from the beginning in anticipation. Other times, they sneak up on you, and you have to start them over when you remember how good the journey to the chorus or hook is. I get sick and tired of film clips of stunts that aren't nearly as exciting as they were in the story, like the Academy award for a base jump off a cliff--it wasn't that unusual, it was an audience surprise with great help from the James Bond theme coming in. They didn't bother to show the scenes that led up to the jump and made it spectacular. As tempting as it is to excerpt the hooks, they don't have the emotional heft that a complete composition has. That choir!
