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!
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.
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)
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.
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. 😎
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
Foreigner dedicated this song to the Shriners and the Shrine hospitals for Children. If you browse Google and UA-cam 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!
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.
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!
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).
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!!!
I'm sorry but i find very hard to believe that people who reacts to this INCREDIBLE and TIMELESS songs, never heard them before. I'm younger than most of them and from another country and grew up listening to them.
4:02 it was in some action movies like “Pacific Rim: Uprising”, “The Hitman’s Bodyguard”, and other movies like “Bad Moms”, “Hot Tub Time Machine”, “Good Luck Chuck”, “Alvin & the Chipmunks the squeakquel”, “Larry the Cable Guy Health Inspector”,
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 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!
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…
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
Singer, Louis Andrew Grammatico (born 2 May 1950), known professionally as Lou Gramm, is an American singer and songwriter born on 2 May 1950, in Rochester, New York. He is best known as co-founder and lead vocalist of the rock band Foreigner from 1976 to 1990 and again from 1992 to 2003, during which time the band had numerous successful albums and singles. In 2024, Gramm was selected as an inductee for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Foreigner. Rochester like Whitby is a British town/City in England. Rochester is a town and former city in Kent, England. It is located at the lowest bridging point of the River Medway about 30 miles (48 km) from London. The town's location is due to the bridge which carries the Roman Watling Street (now the A2) over the river.
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!
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.
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 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.
i love this video but I must say that experiencing this song live is a whole other level. The whole audience is entranced and joins in at the end, all attention on the stage. I will never forget it.
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!!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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'
Lou Gramm, one of the GREATEST rock vocalists of his time. One of their best At War with The World..... Before Foreigner Lou was with a band called Shadowking that had some good music as well.
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.
So true. I never sound like him when I belt out the chorus, though;(
I think Air Supply had some pretty good power love ballads too.
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.
You gotta hear Urgent, and Cold as ice by them! Amazing band
Lou Gramm has an excellent voice! Please listen to other Foreigner songs. Lou can sing many songs, not only ballads. Thanks for sharing.
Monster world wide hit
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.
Oh yes. I remember saving up my $5.99 to buy "Foreigner 4" when I was about 8 years old.
Hot blooded, Double vision, blue morning blue day, dirty white boy... 😆
The rabbit hole of Foreigner is very deep! Great band, and even better singer. Awesome songs.
YES!!!👍
The Choir makes this song so much powerful.
Totally!
The Sounds of Blackness out of Minnesota that was the choir
Juke Box Hero, Urgent, That Was Yesterday, Cold As Ice ,so many great songs from Foreigner
This band was big, and they have so many big hits!
The Great Lou Gramm ... Hopefully Foreigner makes it in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame next time.
Should have been there years ago
Foreigner made it in the Hall of Fame. Lou and Mick are already in for Songwriters.
them and Grand Funk RailRoad -both have been screwed for years.
They did make it into the Rock and roll Hall of Fame this year, after being screwed for 25 years
RRHOF is a joke
One of the Best Rock singers of all time big rabbit hole to go down.
Phil & Sam
Foreigner finally got inducted into Rock and Roll Hall of Fame after years they were eligible for the hall.
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!
Nothing and no one will ever beat Lou's voice! He has that certain sound that so raspy and powerful. Thanks for the reactions.
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.
Now you need to do "Waiting for a Girl Like You." ♥
Such a powerful love ballad. Foreigner rocks and has lots of great songs to be discovered.
This is one of their ballads. They have an extensive discography. If you want something with more "energy" I recommend Head Games
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.
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.

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.
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!
Foreigner is being inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame this year.
I absolutely LOVE this song!
Foreigner is a great British-American rock band who started in 1976.

Every song on that Album was good also on that Album "I'm gonna win ", " Woman in black " , and " Girl on the moon "....
Yes to all of these!
Love Foreigner
You need to listen to Jukebox Hero, Urgent and Cold as Ice. All fantastic Foreigner songs.
Awesome band.
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!
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).
Lou Gramm is one of the great rock voices of all time. Hands down.
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.
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!!!

This is the quintessential definition of a power ballad.
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 is fire, period 😃

The album Foreigner 4 was one of my favorite albums back in the day.
Thanks for playing this fantastic video, love this Group!
So many great Foreigner songs
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.
This was their only song to reach number 1 on the charts.
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..
It was so great..on tour, they would find that cities choir
to come sing at the concert. Great rep for the city. ❤❤

You cannot think your way through a feeling 😊
One of my absolute favourite 80s songs 💛
To me, a 55-year old guy, one of the best songs I have heard! Magic - a song that makes you pause and think.

the 80's
power ballads and mullets were rampant
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.
One of the athems of my life.
My favorite song of theirs ❤❤❤❤
Juke Box Hero, Urgent, Cold as Ice, ...
Lou, the man with the magic pipes.
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.
Lou Gramm's vocal talent was immense.
Musical Bliss from the heart and soul. It just doesn't get any better and I'm so glad I grew up with the music that I grew up with 💜
Classic 80's rock
i love this video but I must say that experiencing this song live is a whole other level. The whole audience is entranced and joins in at the end, all attention on the stage. I will never forget it.
I think it's fair to say this is a mature composition.

Easily funnest decade for me!!
This is so very awesome! The chorus was unreal. Love your reactions!
great song.......
Just love this song.
There is an answer to this song written by John elefante, a close friend of Lou Gramm, called 'this is what love is'
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!
I love Lou Gramm's voice !!! You working for the weekend and loving every minute among others !!
Foreigner Urgent/Jude box hero/wanting for girl like you these are some great foreigner songs
Big wedding song !!!
Banger 🔥
The GREAT Grammy, Tony-winning Jennifer Holliday sings the background vocals on one of the greatest songs in pop (especially 80s) history.
I definitely would recommend Juke Box Hero. You will love the guitar work on that song.
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.
Please do more Foreigner. They have a huge catalog and probably 20 Top 40 hits.
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.

This was one of the best songs and they had a lot of great tunes over the years
Early Foreign is the Best
Such a great song by such a great band!🔥🔥🔥
Great reaction guys!❤
Chaka kahn....i feel for you..great song great video. 80's
