This is one song where 40,000 people in the audience start singing the chorus. That is how you define a power ballad. This one will never be beat.

Have you heard Tom Petty where he sings Breakdown and the crowd takes over? He even says, "y'all gonna put me outta a job"...lol No, is not better than this But is right up there as far as crowd response, I absolutely love them both!

Pretty sure the likes of Hey Jude, Bohemian Rhapsody, Purple Rain, Nothing Else Matters, etc... match that power if not more.

Look up Heaven by Bryan Adams live from Wembley Stadium. The crowd sings the entire first verse.

This song was so HUGE when it came out. The quintessential 80’s ballad.

Juke Box Hero is an absolute must high-energy Foreigner song

I posted a comment about Jukebox Hero without seeing this, but basically I was saying the same thing. This is the next Foreigner song for a reaction, especially since you've alreading reacted to Shooting Star by Bad Company. They share a similar theme.

Totally!

Foreigner is a great British-American rock band who started in 1976. They had a lot of great hits such as "Feels Like The First Time", "Cold As Ice", "Urgent", “Hot Blooded”, "Juke Box Hero", "Waiting For A Girl Like You", "Double Vision", "Blue Morning, Blue Day", "Dirty White Boy", "Head Games", "Break It Up", "That Was Yesterday", "Say You Will", "I Don't Want To Live Without You" etc.

Foreigner was one of the great rock bands of the late-'70s and '80s. Their first four albums are outstanding: * Foreigner (1977) * Double Vision (1978) * Head Games (1979) * Four (1981)

I had the first 3 of those! They got a LOT of play!

Monster world wide hit

Phil & Sam Foreigner finally got inducted into Rock and Roll Hall of Fame after years they were eligible for the hall.

Lou Gramm has an excellent voice! Please listen to other Foreigner songs. Lou can sing many songs, not only ballads. Thanks for sharing.

Foreigner is being inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame this year.

This Gave Foreigner their first ever Number one Hit which was in the U.K. in the US it hit number 12. The Brits have great taste.

The rabbit hole of Foreigner is very deep! Great band, and even better singer. Awesome songs.

YES!!!👍

Lou Gramm is one of the great rock voices of all time. Hands down.

You gotta hear Urgent, and Cold as ice by them! Amazing band

Juke Box Hero, Urgent, That Was Yesterday, Cold As Ice ,so many great songs from Foreigner

Now you need to do "Waiting for a Girl Like You." ♥

One of the Best Rock singers of all time big rabbit hole to go down.

Power ballads were 'the thing' of the '80's music scene and this one was an absolute monster for Lou Gramm and Foreigner and deservedly so.

This is one of their ballads. They have an extensive discography. If you want something with more "energy" I recommend Head Games

This band was big, and they have so many big hits!

Juke box Hero, Cold as Ice,Hot blooded, Waiting for a girl like you. Are just a Few to start with.

Lou Gramm's vocal talent was immense.

A few years earlier, they spent 10 weeks at #2 with "Waiting For A Girl Like You." This one that you're reacting to was the song that FINALLY gave them a #1 hit in the USA. If you REALLY want to know what Foreigner was all about, you should try "Feels Like The First Time," and "Jukebox Hero." They finally got inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame. It was WELL overdue, since they have been eligible since 2002. They were snubbed all of those years, and finally got the nomination. 😎

Foreigner had a lot of hits in the late 70s through the 80s but this is arguably their most iconic song even though it’s not their typical style.

Gramm was the key to this band. Power voice! Had a big hit on his own with Midnight Blue. Feels Like The First Time, Juke Box Hero and Hot Blooded are Foreigner rockers…

Nothing and no one will ever beat Lou's voice! He has that certain sound that so raspy and powerful. Thanks for the reactions.

Foreigner dedicated this song to the Shriners and the Shrine hospitals for Children. If you browse Google and KZread you can find the commercial that the Shrine Hospitals for Children did with Foreigner using this song - magnificent! You might even consider reacting to it!

This song was a huge hit for Foreigner, but was one of much conflict within the band. Some members did not want to release this song because it was so different from the rest of their music. They wanted to be known as a rock band, not one that sang ballads. The funny thing is that this song became the power ballad of the '80s. As a child of the 1960's and 70's, Foreigner was one of the few bands that I really liked during the 1980's. They made some great music over the late 70's and 80's.

You need to listen to Jukebox Hero, Urgent and Cold as Ice. All fantastic Foreigner songs. Awesome band.

Foreigner has such a range of depth. I feel like they're so unappreciated by younger generations! Definitely listen to more if you haven't already!

Hot Blooded, Waiting For A Girl Like You, Head Games, Jukebox Box Hero, Urgent, Say You Will, Dirty White Boy, Double Vision, Feels Like The First Time, and Cold As Ice are awesome by Foreigner

One of the all-time great songs. Will always be a classic. No matter how many times you hear this song, you never get tired of it. And the video is outstanding.

Such a powerful love ballad. Foreigner rocks and has lots of great songs to be discovered.

I absolutely LOVE this song!

Foreigner is one of the bands that make me glad that I grew up in the 80s.

Pity gen z....they got nothing but neck ache

Foreigner has so many hits keep on listening to this band. Worth listening to Lou Gramm who is the lead singer. He has a couple of solo albums too. Midnight Blue is definitely worth a listen to

This song was Foreigner's biggest hit song ever!!! The song peaked at the #1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and stayed there for two weeks during the winter of 1985. The New Jersey Mass Choir did the backup vocals. An absolute banger indeed!!!

People came together at the end. Loving each other regardless of race and color. Much deeper meaning than you are seeing or feeling ❤❤. ❤. Needs to be in our world today 2024

the 80's power ballads and mullets were rampant

Those were members of the New Jersey Mass Choir singing the vocal background towards the end. They really helped make this track the monster hit that it was (& still is).

Foreigner has a lot of really good songs.. I think you will have many many good suggestions. You can’t go wrong no matter which one you pick.

There is an answer to this song written by John elefante, a close friend of Lou Gramm, called 'this is what love is'

This is the quintessential definition of a power ballad.

I Saw Foreigner in Concert in Early 90s this Song Came out When I Was in High School

I remember going to see the Stones around 1978. Peter Tosh opened. Foreigner played second. Then the Stones. I didn't know much about Foreigner, as they were relatively new. They stole the day and I became a Foreigner fan that day. They have a bunch of great songs. Don't be afraid to delve!

Awesome! Love the Stones too, saw them in Vegas years ago.

I really love the choir at the end of the song. It reminds me of Heart when they sang "Stairway to Heaven" at the Kennedy Center Awards for Led Zeppelin. Great song!

Love Foreigner

Absolutely must do "Juke Box Hero"

It was so great..on tour, they would find that cities choir to come sing at the concert. Great rep for the city. ❤❤

I remember this song was used in a episode of Miami Vice many many years ago.😢

Lou, the man with the magic pipes.

I drive by Lou's house frequently as he lives near my daughter. Lou Gramm used to play at my high school dances when he was with Black Sheep.

This was their only song to reach number 1 on the charts.

This song came out in 1984, whereas Agent Provocateur, was founded in London in 1994, No connection. Lou Gramm is awesome; such a powerful voice. Love him!

So many great Foreigner songs

Please do more Foreigner. They have a huge catalog and probably 20 Top 40 hits.

This was THE song to slow dance to at every HS dance, when this came out. Saved this song for asking a “special,” someone ,that, prior to them playing it, you did not have the courage to ask. When the first note played you beat feet. The girls loved this album. They wanted someone to ask them for a slow dance. 80’s, so much fun!!!!!!! Easily funnest decade for me!!

Juke Box Hero, Urgent, Cold as Ice, ...

This song is fire, period 😃

The album Foreigner 4 was one of my favorite albums back in the day.

This was one of the best songs and they had a lot of great tunes over the years

I definitely would recommend Juke Box Hero. You will love the guitar work on that song.

Michael Leslie Jones (born 27 December 1944) is an English musician, songwriter and record producer, best known as the founder and leader of the British-American rock band Foreigner.[1][2] Prior to Foreigner, he was in the band Spooky Tooth.[3] Early life Michael Leslie Jones was born on 27 December 1944 in Portsmouth, England.[citation needed] Jones started playing guitar at an early age, and decided to pursue a career in music. Career He began his professional music career in the early 1960s as a member of the band Nero and the Gladiators, who scored two minor British hit singles in 1961. After the demise of Nero and the Gladiators, Jones worked as a songwriter and session musician in France for such artists as Françoise Hardy, Sylvie Vartan, and Johnny Hallyday ("The French Elvis"), for whom he wrote many songs, including "Je suis né dans la rue" and "À tout casser" (which features Jimmy Page on guitar). Wikipedia.

I met Lou once in Syracuse at a Bob Dylan show. He was a very nice dude. Still lives here in Rochester. My aunt went to high school with Lou at Gates Chili. She brought out a year book a couple of years ago and showed us he signed it. Lou Grammatico. Also Kenneth Bianchi (the hillside strangler) signed her yearbook.

that choir man!!

Thanks for playing this fantastic video, love this Group!

One of my absolute favourite 80s songs 💛

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤80S❤❤❤❤ A melhor música composta,para mim a melhor das melhores.🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹

The 80’s decade put out some great music, l Loved growing up in this decade and making a playlist off the radio on cassette tapes..

I think it's fair to say this is a mature composition.

This is so very awesome! The chorus was unreal. Love your reactions!

To me, a 55-year old guy, one of the best songs I have heard! Magic - a song that makes you pause and think.

This song was from the 1970s and I would crank it up in the car when I drove around.

Love these guys. The song that introduced them to me might be a good one next, check out 'Cold As Ice' next. Cheers.

Years ago TV shows and movies used to write original music for the show/picture. In the 80's Miami Vice was one of the first shows to start using popular music in their shows. I Want tto Know What Love is was used in one episode. In the episode the drug dealer was murdering his girlfriend (because she was informing on him) with a hot shot (OD'ing her). While the scene played out, this song played in the background and it really added to the surrealism of the scene. Now everytime I hear this song, I flash back that scene.

I love when bands use choirs in their songs! Two other standouts with choirs that come to mind are Mike + The Mechanics' song "The Living Years", and Matt Corby's "Miracle Love", live at Manchester Cathedral.

When Foreigner was touring they would use local church choirs to sing backup for this song.

Urgent. Should be your next one from them.

You cannot think your way through a feeling 😊

Big wedding song !!!

I love Lou Gramm's voice !!! You working for the weekend and loving every minute among others !!

also did great rock songs like Jukebox Hero or Cold Blooded

Oh lord, 1984, plastered in front of MTV with my friends watching this video every hour on the hour.... This was Foreigner's biggest hit and to date has sold somewhere up around 5 million copies.

Early Foreign is the Best

I saw them in Clearwater in 2015 and they were brilliant!!!

Classic 80's rock

The GREAT Grammy, Tony-winning Jennifer Holliday sings the background vocals on one of the greatest songs in pop (especially 80s) history.

Nice dip into the world of Foreigner. Great group of musicians led by outstanding vocalist in Lou Gramm. I think you can't miss the song "Waiting For A Girl Like You". Phil, you'll need to dedicate that song to Sam. You'll thank me later. Another slower tune Although I'm not sure why the title of many of their songs sound like medical condiitions; Cold as Ice, Hot Blooded, Urgent, Urgent Situation, Double Vision, Head Games, Blinded By Science, Headknocker, The Damage is Done.

Great reaction as always! One of the coolest things associated with this one is that they started having the closest high school chorus, in the city they were playing in, join them onstage to do this song with them! I saw it in person and it was awesome!

Just love this song.

A truly great song, so emotional, that last dance you want with that guy or girl, an emotion that if you are lucky you may feel one day....surrender.....a great sexy turn on song of theirs is 'Urgent'

(The by-play between the two of you was especially adorable today, btw.😉) Lou Gramm is a very underrated vocalist, imo, and if you'd like to hear more of his impassioned vocals, (with some truly stellar sax), try Foreigner's sizzling "Urgent"....urgently, lol!

My favorite song of theirs ❤❤❤❤

One of the athems of my life.

This isn't necessarily about romantic love but love for community, people and all getting along .

oh yeah golden age of rock radio...everyone had this album-foreigner four, big album. "Waiting for a girl" (like you sweetheart) is the top of the chart's homies.

Do more Foreigner, great band, going in Rock & Roll Hall of this year, one of my favorite bands of my youth.

Such a great song by such a great band!🔥🔥🔥 Great reaction guys!❤
