What?!, why Kelly Hansen?, you have to react to the original foreigner with Lou Gramm.

Kelly Hanson was in the 80's "hair metal" band Hurricane. He was a very underrated singer because his band wasn't as popular as the top earning bands of that era.(Motley,Ratt,Poison, etc.) Definitely one of my favorites of that era.

They were my first concert about 8 years ago and his voice blew me away. I always loved Forigner but his voice sounded soooo much better live!

Loved this.. especially that YOU got a chance to sing towards the end....Your joy in sharing such epic vocal ability comes right from your heart.

Lou Graham is a tough act to follow but this guy did himself proud. Plus ya gotta give him credit for staying true to the song and not trying to "make it his own." I say good for him.

This guy is a good vocalist, yes…. but MAN do I miss Lou Gramm. 😢

I know people like originals.. but when some of the originals can't do it anymore, I respect those coming in to fill massive shoes and Kelly (ex Hurricane) on vocals and Jeff Pilson (ex Dokken) on bass are incredible talents. And it's shameful that this another band that has not yet been inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame.

Brilliant video Beth! I enjoyed watching you enjoy it so much...it's a gorgeous song isn't it? ☺☺

Hi!!!! Beth LOVE this song and how he song, Kelly is such agreat vocalist given a swett over❤️

Another great reaction. I was fortunate to see them at their height of popularity live in concert. Was a great night. Thank you!

I've always really liked this song, and Foreigner in general, but I didn't know all that much about the history of the band. I could tell as soon as he started singing that this was a different singer than on the album version, so I had to pause the video and go look it up, and I found that Lou Gramm left the band in 2003 and Kelly Hanson has been the vocalist since then. I wasn't sure what to expect when I came back to watch the video, but after hearing Kelly's vocals, I have to say he's very close to Lou in his sound (more in the higher sections of the song than the lower ones, though), and I definitely enjoyed this performance. I'm kinda sad to know Foreigner doesn't have the same singer as I grew up hearing, but I think they did a good job finding a great vocalist to replace him, one who still sounds enough like the original to feel familiar while also having his own sound and technique. 💜

He's very good, and I feel sorry for him, because he'll always have an enormous shadow hanging over him. I mean c'mon, Lou Gramm?! Arguably the best male rock voice of the late 70s/early 80s (with Steve Perry, Steve Walsh of Kansas and Rick Emmet of Triumph)

I believe I enjoyed that nearly as much as you did darlin. Thank you for your indepth analysis of technigue and all that is involved in making his effort look effortless.

This was amazing. Great singing by both of you. This is a good song to showcase your vocals.

Very good reaction! Beth! Such Love!

Wow they've been around for a LONG time. I remember when I was a kid and this came out the radios wouldn't stop playing it. It's still a proper earworm I will be singing all day now lol.

MAN!,I went and saw them sing this when I was stationed in Germany, 1984, GOD, it was great!

Kelly Hanson is fantastic! He does NOT use auto pitch either, just a great singer.

my favorite vocal coach!!!! yes, you Beth youuuuu, the best part is when you sing "I want to know what love is!!"

Thank you Beth for the dance. 🌹

You should review the song with Lou Grahm

Check out his work with Hurricane. Phenomenal!

Great Vocals💚❤️💚🔥😎🤘

His name is Kelly Hansen and his singling is awesome, I never miss any Foreigner shows when they come to town...😊💋👏

Beautiful voice. His was pretty good, too.

OH COME ON keep singing! I loved listening to you sing when he's telling the crowd! haha. I was like go BETH!! :P

That was a fun nuance in his phrasing that I've never picked up on. "Lo veis" vs "Love is". 💕 I always chair-dance along with you, Beth!🤗 ...And even if you feel awkward with add-lib in front of a live audience, you are a master while in front of a camera!! 🎥

He does a pretty good job. Worth noting, the current touring band doesn't have any members from their classic era.

So warm and beautiful. 😊

I loved seeing you totally fan girl out and sing along! Maybe you should add some Beth sings along with her favs, I know I would enjoy listening to that!

He's not Lou Gramm but he straight up killed it on this night..

Lou Gramm is Foreigner.

Saw them live about 2 years ago and they were absolutely amazing! Kelly is an awesome vocalist.

I just love this song.

Beth, your voice is beautiful

No one's going to see this comment but what the Hell. I remember Foreigner being on the bill at Wacken Open Air, one of (if not THE) biggest metal festivals in the world...and I just couldn't help picturing a whole lot of hardcore, pierced, chain-and-spike wearing, tattooed, corpse painted black/death metal dudes standing in the field, faces raised to the sky, tears streaming down their face, singing their hearts out along with the Gospel choir part of this song. So heartwarming. 😂

I never noticed that about the legato. Interesting! Thanks!

As I was listening to this, it felt a little "off", in relation to the original version by Lou Gramm. So I pulled up another tab with that version, and it seems to me as if Kelly is doing the song in a slightly lower key. I could be wrong and I'm just being fooled by the differences in there tones (Lou's was a bit "brighter", I think). This was the first time I'd heard Kelly singing this song, but I did really enjoy his version of Say You Will (my second favorite Foreigner track after Head Games).

J'aime beaucoup la voix Kelly Hansen 🌹💥🙏😍💋

Good taste Beth! Love ya!😎

This song is my birthday number one.

I’m actually baffled… it’s sort of a classic/guilty pleasure kind of music I don’t hear often and I’ve only heard the recording… this live performance is pure class… I had no idea he sang like this live!

Kelly Hansen is superb! He recorded an album called "Waiting For The Sun" with Unruly Child. Go for it! Is amazing!!!

Hey Beth, don't stop singing, please!!!

Lou Gramm is foreigner...

Saludos desde Costa Rica

I love how Beth dissects specific parts and explains the effects. I know many frown on karaoke, but it helps me perfect my pitch and timing and overall emotion for the song I am singing. Thank you Beth! ROAR!!!

Wow, I'm behind the times. I thought Lou Gramm was still the singer for Foreigner. They were my first concert in '79 for the Head Games tour.

Lou Gramm sang it beautifully but Kelly sounds so much like him, has a gorgeous bravado and is not hard on the eyes either (reminds me of Steven Tyler). I saw a concert of theirs on AXStv and Kelly was spot on. Beth, you have a gorgeous voice, girl!

So sad that I can only give 1 thumbs up: great band, great song and your lovely singing voice.🤘

Gracias Kelly. Tu voz y tu performance hace que sigamos vibrando con vuestra música, foreigner. Los vi en Madrid en sala Riviera y sublimes.

Hello Beth! There is a young lady from the Philippines named Morissette Amon who does a cover of I Want To Know What Love Is. Please react to it. She will blow you away!!!

I was excited when I saw this in my feed, and then I was shocked. I don't know who this singer is, but Lou Gramm sang for this band when they recorded I Want to Know What Love Is. The MV is terrific as the band is joined by the Gospel Workshop of America, featuring Jennifer Holliday. At one time Rolling Stone considered it the greatest rock song ever. They have since demoted it to 479th. LOL I miss the gospel choir. I agree that the singer is excellent, but the song is lacking. For now the real Lou Gramm is going on tour, without Foreigner I believe at the start of 2022.

Always liked this song by Foreigner. The Beatles are red hot right now, and you should take advantage of that. I enjoyed your discussion on the Beach Boys "Don't Worry Baby," which impressed the Beatles, who in turn impressed the Beach Boys. It was very healthy competition, and our ears were received the benefits. You should consider discussing the vocals in a Beatles's song, perhaps something like "Nowhere Man," or "She's Leaving Home." If you really want to immerse yourself in one of the all-time greatest harmonies, do "Because." Harmony singing does not get any better than that.

Beth is beautiful, end of story. Cheers!

Everyone always says it's not the same as Lou Gramm, but I think I like it better actually. And they were great live when I was able to see them earlier this year, such a fun show with them.

Fill your boots Beth! , as we say in Scotland.. Just found this site, and can't stop grinning.. He's good, very very good, and I wish people would stop comparing him to Lou Gramm.. Kelly Hansen has stepped up to the plate, and has made the songs his own....

I was so reticent to see Foreigner since Lou Graham was no longer singing with them. My wife and I won tickets to one of their shows, and were TOTALLY blown away. GREAT singer, GREAT front guy, and such a magnificent stage presence - he really knows how to connect with the bands audience. The band was spectacular. And I will tell you - I have been in this industry for a long time.... that was one of the best drummers I have EVER heard. I am so mad at myself for not seeing them waaaaaaay sooner.

You truly need to do the original vocalist Lou Gramm. In this case I’d do the original music video.

I have two acts I'd like to reccomend you react to who are doing Harmonies. The first group is a Sister group that consciously focuses on continuing and adding to the tradition of vocal harmony and family harmony following "Sons of the Pioneeers" and "The Andrew Sisters" within the genre of Western Swing which incorporates Jazz, blues, swing, and country -and even Hawaiian traditions. "The Quebe Sisters" sing in triple harmony, but also started out playing triple fiddle. They have been performing since they were in their early teens. HEre is one good harony track with Groove - an area they have been stretching out into: @ The Second group comes from the American Genre of Bluegrass and "String Band" traditions. Billy Strings (ne William Apostal aka Billy Strings). Harmony is a common part of bluegrass, but more incidental usually. In his band which is composed of musicians who all grew up playing their instruments since around kindergarten they have stumbled into bringing back a throwback acapela 4 part harmony or 4 part harmony with only the simplest of accompanyment. @

Roars is such a cool name for a vocal coach.

Do Imaginary with Brennan Heart. I don't know why I like it so much. Thanks!

There is a live performance of the original lead singer Lou Graham on youtube from 1995 and you chose this for your reaction ?

You should react to Days of Thunder by The Midnight, came out in like 2014 but got a sweet 80s feel to it.

This killed me- you are doing a cover band singer vs Lou Gramm the original 🙈

Im not a foreigner fan at all but this song is a masterpiece. Lou killed it on the studio version and the female back up singer nailed it as well.

How can I be completely, head over heels about someone I just discovered, and have never, and probably never will meet. I don’t know!

NICE, IT BROUGHT BACK MEMORIES, HERE IS A GOOD ONE 2 REACT. MANUEL GARCIA, MON LAFERTE, LA DANZA DE LAS LIBELULAS. CHEERS.

He's a top quality vocalist who gets criticised because he's not Lou gramm and that's a shame because he's is doing a very good job

Beth, you GOT TO check out Gabriel Henrique cover of this song. It's a mind blower.

Classic singalong!!

Beth is so bloody gorgeous and cute.

You are the perfect backing vocals in this song... The perfect solo choir!!!

I have performed off and on for 6+ decades. I discovered, in about 1960, that staring into a bright source of light, if there is one about, really helped me with self-consciousness, like I was singing to the angels. Still works. That's not Lou Gramm, izzit?

You really need to check out the original Lou Gramm version! Would blow you away, unlike this OK version. Lou has one of the best voices EVER in any genre!

I wonder if you could react Gabriel Henrique singing this song (but Mariah Carey cover) in his car, since because of the phone angle you can see much of his technique also because was recorded on his phone.

HE IS BRILLIANT

there is no like Lou Gramm in the lead vocal

Hy "Bete Ruge" !!! (that's what your name would be in my language). I love your videos.

Let's sing... let's dance sweetie! Great!

Oi Beth, any chance you react to Linkin Park (well Chester and Mike) covering Adelle's Rolling in the Deep? It's fantastic.

Such an iconic song and Lou Gramm was THE voice of rock in his day, tough shoes to fill. With that said, Kelly has an amazing voice and he does a fantastic job honoring the song, but giving it his own feelings. Ive stopped trying to compare one singer to another when they replace an original singer in a band, so subjective, so useless. Lou Gramm is a legend, Kelly Hansen sounds great, what more is there, why not enjoy both?

He's not the original singer Lou Gramm is the original singer and he's an awesome singer.

Very nice reaction!!! I'd like to suggest you to react Gabriel Henrique. He's a brazilian singer. There is a video where he cover Mariah Carey 'I want to know what love is" you will love it. Tks

Foreigner= 2 Brits and 3 Americans. Fleetwood Mac= 3 Brits and 2 Americans lol. Speaking of that Beth, how about reviewing Go Your Own Way from FM, or some such? My favorite group ever! Although this is just a beautiful song here, and a beautiful review by you girl!!

Great react :) hope you can also react to the song of simply red, you make me feel brand new. :)

please comment on bands like Counting Crows, and R.E.M., thanks

No Lou Gramm?

Can you react to the same song by Gabriel henrique?

Hi! "take on challenges", I should say so... forging metal. Another challenge - on the vocal side: Nina Hagen, the godmother of german punk Young Hagen: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b96ZZ7Jlt9zQnoU.html Middel Hagen - Over the Rainbow kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mdForcKDx5abho0.html Later Hagen - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rJOJrcen0qqWkYU.html

Very warm voice, as the bass and keyboard 😍

His solo stuff was good, too.

2nd Chapter Of Acts siblings Narnia

With the sad passing of Stephen Sondheim perhaps you could review some performances of his work. His 80th Birthday Concert was extraordinary and pretty much all of it is on youtube. Here is the "Six Ladies in Red" segment, in 4K. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a9Z7dahox5-zZpc.html All the performances are stellar. Patti LuPone - Ladies Who Lunch, from _Company_ Marin Mazzie - Losing My Mind, from _Follies_ Audra McDonald - The Glamorous Life, from _A Little Night Music_ Donna Murphy - Could I Leave You?, from _Follies_ Bernadette Peters - Not A Day Goes By, from _Merrily We Roll Along_ Elaine Stritch - I'm Still Here, from _Follies_

So glad you are giving Kelly the approval he deserves. He is the best.

Review Kenny Rogers song written by, Lionel Ritchie, ‘Lady’.

Is this a cover?

Still hoping for some James Taylor when you talk about easy singing..
