It's possible for several things to be true at once: Kelly Hansen is a great singer and does Foreigner songs well. Lou Gramm is a legend. This is more or less a cover band (especially with Mick having stepped away now). They do the songs justice.
@@terrycarlton6991 Hes good singer...but boring...no mojo....he could be awesoem doing his original songs instead of kareoke Foreinger band...Lou Lou Lou all the way even today!
it’s because of Mick Jones. The head guys at the RnR Hall of Fame hate him, and said they’ll never induct him as long as they’re alive. It would’ve happened years ago if he hadn’t pissed them off
@@marvelharris9540 . All the instruments were wirelessly connected into and mixed on the soundboard. The band are all wearing in ear monitors so they get the mix straight from the board. Not sure what kind of PA the studio has for the audience but it does sound very good.
I bought the foreigner4 album back in the early 80s ,great album along with every thin lizzy album I might add. Passed the time away listening here in my home town of Derry. Ireland.
Probably the best Lou Gramm replacement there is. I was 14 when this came out. And man I was a forever fan. Lou’s voice is one in a lifetime, but damn this guy has it locked in. awesome.
Nobody could replace Lou Gramm. Nobody. He was Foreigner. This is a very good cover band though. And I did see them once live in concert in the late 1970's and once during the 1980's. They were great.
Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, can truly replace Lou Gramm in his prime but I give props to Kelly for doing justice to their classic tunes. Lou was just incredible before his brain surgery robbed him of his magical gift. I almost cried when I heard him in concert in '99 which wasn't that long after his surgery. He didn't want to tour but mgmt pressured him into it. He had no business being onstage at that time and he knew it. His once powerful voice was reduced to barely being able to hear him over the sound mix. As a day-one diehard Foreigner fan it was heartbreaking to witness.
@@mikejones5364 No one sounds like Steve Perry. Also no one sounds like Lou Gramm... those two are legends. But the new ones do a great job, they do sound awesome. But they will never get to the same status... the footprints those two left are just way to big to fill.
@@mikejones5364 Rock and Rock'n'Roll are two seperate things. Also without the scandal Jerry Lee Lewis had Elvis wouldn't be the King of Rock'n'Roll today. Not that I say he is bad, no I like Elvis. But you cant compare them to each other.
What ever job you do in life, eventually you will retire, because you’ve made enough money or you can’t or won’t carry on working. Some of your colleagues will want to carry on, so you will be replaced, Just like Genesis, Fleetwood Mac, The Moody Blues and lots of other bands and Football teams too. Mick wants to carry on and with help of very good musicians, he is. Nothing lasts forever, songs don’t get old but people do, it’s sad I know but true. Let’s ALL enjoy the music, whoever is producing it. Keep rocking folks!
Absolutely! I’ll put Kelly Hansen and Arnel Pineda in a rare group. They’ve kept Foreigner and Journey (my two favorite bands) going strong. If they miss a step, it certainly isn’t by much.
I took my wife to see these guys at Universal Studios Orlando not long after this was filmed. We stood about 35-40 feet from the stage. They sounded so damn good. My voice was hoarse the next day from singing along with them. Thankfully they were so loud nobody but my wife heard me. Good times and great memories.
Always excellent. Lou Graham will always be the man and the original voice of this amazing band. Kelly is a superb singer/ frontman and this live clip shows Foreigner remains an incredible rock and roll must see.
WOW you guys sound GREAT. Tight, great Vocals , drums right on, keys just perfect. Congratulations over all the years your music art still shines through today. 🇨🇦🇨🇦👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
My 1st concert way back in ‘78..will never forget those giant mirrors dropping down for “double vision”.. no, it’s not Lou Gramm here but you have to give it up to Mick for having a good ear to find Kelly Hansen,keep on rocking !
Kelly you are great.Lou is the original,however if you sang this song 1st it " Would feel like the first Time " Foreigner 4 Ever .Love you guys my best Rock band 4 ever.
Meh...I'm a bigger Cars fan and they did something nobody else had done or has done. That being said, Foreigner 100% should be in there. Along with Styx
My memory is fading but I was in high school when this album came out. I seen April Wine open for these guys....1977? So long ago now. Im 61 now. No way to put in words how much different it was back then.
We had freedom and there was still some innocence in America back then!… people had morals And a sense of right and wrong and it all mixed together really good for the most part…The 1970s were a special time to be alive👊🇺🇸❤️
Living legends? There’s only one original band member up there. They’re more like a Foreigner tribute band. Even though it’s not the original band it’s still nice to hear their music.
People don't even realize how many songs these guys have that are fantastic that you don't hear on the radio like head knocker great tune right there there's so many more love these guys they are actually underrated which is unbelievable
The originals? Where’s Lou? Kelly has not been with Foreigner for 40 years. Lou Gramm is the iconic voice of Foreigner. Everyone knows it! And feels like the first time was written by Lou Gramm and Mick Jones.
I saw Foreigner about 2 months ago and they have the best sound mix for a live concert that I have ever heard. Just listen to this mix on GMA. Kelly sounds great and really works the crowd. Foreigner played for nearly 2 hours and had one hit after another. The musicianship and sound mix set they way apart from most rock bands. If you get a chance to see them in public, do so. They are really fantastic. Please come back to Brandon, MS soon or somewhere close by.
Elvira Leban you mean Lou Gramm and Mick Jones. Kelly is just a tribute lead singer. Kelly starting to take credit of what they did in the past. Sad but true!
Most excellent. Saw them in FL 'round about 2004. St Pete or Tampa....saw so many great shows during that stint. Foreigner rocked me hard out thee in that great expanse of audience.
That same year Boston made its Debut and I was 16 and Livin and Lovin every bit of Life back then And then some!Anybody know of a Time Machine to bring back the 70s!
Hansen is an excellent singer. As far as him sounding like Lou. When he was hired by Mick he was told to practice and sing like Lou. Personally, he is a very good singer.
No, they're not. I've seen Foreigner twice in concert back in the day with Lou Gramm. This is a very good cover band. Nobody hits the notes like Lou did. He is Foreigner.
Indeed this was a great performance! The replacement singer really nailed it. This is a great treat for the audiences of Good Morning America even the hosts were enjoying themselves. Great entertainment.
Feels like a cover band that Mick has put together, does it sound good sure. Should have called the Mick Jones experience! Sorry but nothing about this band is Foreigner other than the songs being played and is supposed to be 3 Britts and 3 Americans.
So I got my metronome out... and noticed this performance is a slower but consistent 100 bpm vs the original studio which is an erratic 104-108 bpm. Wonder why they slowed it down? Getting older? I was just curious as live versions usually go faster than the originals. Also love that drum fill at 4:36, that's new.

An absolute THRILL for me to watch this! Thank you!
Even during the’ “ad libs”...Kelley sounds amazing, so solid , every note held...start to finish, he is EXCELLENT.
Yes he is ❤
Kelly Hanson does justice to these great Lou Gramm tunes! Big shoes to fill. Great job.
That entire performance was impeccable. Kelly Hansen has blown me away. Elite performance by all.

💯
Foreigner sound like exactly what they always were. A perfect blend of American smooth rock and British hard rock. Excellent.
Lou will always be the ONE!
Sure but this guy is doing a great job
Always...
@@terrycarlton6991 Hes good singer...but boring...no mojo....he could be awesoem doing his original songs instead of kareoke Foreinger band...Lou Lou Lou all the way even today!
Yeah but when you can't do it anymore Kelly does a damn good job
How is Foreigner not in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame? They better be inducted soon.
Do the math - 3 to 4 inductees a year - dozens of great bands who are eligible to be inducted. Unfortunately some bands are going to be left out
It’s rigged.
It’s bullshit is what it is.
Same for BTO!!
They don't need it.
it’s because of Mick Jones. The head guys at the RnR Hall of Fame hate him, and said they’ll never induct him as long as they’re alive. It would’ve happened years ago if he hadn’t pissed them off
The audio engineer deserves a massive raise. That’s one of the best live audio experiences I’ve heard in a studio like that.
it really was... no guitars were plugged into anything so I would love to know what they used soundwise
@@marvelharris9540 . All the instruments were wirelessly connected into and mixed on the soundboard. The band are all wearing in ear monitors so they get the mix straight from the board. Not sure what kind of PA the studio has for the audience but it does sound very good.
@@nickstojanovic8868 Even the keyboards? LOL. No, this was a canned performance. MAYBE the vocals were live.
@@Turboy65. Define canned performance
60 years of age and still listening to this ,great stuff all together.
I’m 59 and where does the time go… we came of age in a special time to say the least!👊🇺🇸
I bought the foreigner4 album back in the early 80s ,great album along with every thin lizzy album I might add. Passed the time away listening here in my home town of Derry. Ireland.
Old people are cool: These guys ROCK! 59ER HERE:)
45 years later, this still rocks.

Kelly Hansen is such a great vocalist. He's probably Lou Gramm's most accurate successor
He can mimic Lou very well, and Journey was able to get back with the guy from the Philippines who sounds just like steve perry

True
Amen
I was 16 years old when we ALL heard Foreigner sing this song for the first time! Damn.....the memories! 1 of the all-time greatest Rock Bands!
It always takes me a VERY long time to accept replacement singers..but he does do a hell of a job!
Great job i think
yup.....get the band going even without Lou (great singer) .. ...Kelly is one helluva of a vocalist.
Absolutely! I’ll put Kelly Hansen and Arnel Pineda in a rare group. They’ve kept Foreigner and Journey (my two favorite bands) going strong. If they miss a step, it certainly isn’t by much.
Seriously can't tell the difference
Still taking me a longer time...
This song gives me chills everytime without fail,a great uplifting song.
Geoff P, Mick Jones & Lou Gramm are musical geniuses. Although I know this one was probably all Mick.
I took my wife to see these guys at Universal Studios Orlando not long after this was filmed. We stood about 35-40 feet from the stage. They sounded so damn good. My voice was hoarse the next day from singing along with them. Thankfully they were so loud nobody but my wife heard me. Good times and great memories.
I bought the two LP Vinyl set! 2022
Always excellent. Lou Graham will always be the man and the original voice of this amazing band. Kelly is a superb singer/ frontman and this live clip shows Foreigner remains an incredible rock and roll must see.
Grammatico
Wow, this new revamped Foreigner band kicks ass, the new singer does the band justice!! I'm definitely seeing them in concert!!
He's been "new" for over 15 years
Well, he was in Hurricane group in 1987
It's always been the Mick Jones band, but it's still Foreigner
Sounded great, was really impressed with vocals too. Lou Gramm is brutally hard to cover.
ITS SO SAD AND TRAGIC WHAT HAPPEN TO LOU .......
Easier to cover Lou when they play it in a lower range from the original.
@@deucejv BUT STILL A GREAT JOB.
@@deucejv I believe there in the original key that Lou recorded it in, I may be wrong tho.
Exactly right, it's a cover without Lou.
Lou Gramm is and will always be Foreigner.
that's the best group that gma has had on, bout time, some real music for once.
next bring journey or def leopard!!!!
I like how your thinking! Good choices. I’m a huge eighties/nineties music fan
Great stuff. This Hansen guy has a great voice and he projects a powerful rock sound. Lol from Irish guy living in Hungary
Top of the morning to ya. Lol from a Dutchman living in Holland
WOW you guys sound GREAT. Tight, great Vocals , drums right on, keys just perfect. Congratulations over all the years your music art still shines through today. 🇨🇦🇨🇦👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Foreigner going forward is a just company, not a band
One of my favorite groups of all time!!! To this day, they're AWESOME!!!
So sad GMA is promoting this is the ORIGINAL line up, 0:02. Most viewers have no idea and would think that's true. Lou Gramm is Foreigner.
My first concert was in 1981, billy squire opened for foreigner, great first time concert. There’s a story for that night.
The mix on this is fantastic. Perfect blend.
Kelly Hasen is without a doubt one of the greatest singers of our generation. My respect to Lou Gramm. Foreigner “ one of the greatest bands
Excellent performance, Hansen definitely honors Lou, nevertheless would’ve love to watch Lou.
Fantastic and one of their best hits!
it is not their hits, most were kids when the songs came out
My 1st concert way back in ‘78..will never forget those giant mirrors dropping down for “double vision”.. no, it’s not Lou Gramm here but you have to give it up to Mick for having a good ear to find Kelly Hansen,keep on rocking !
I will always be a Lou Gramm fan - the original recording of this classic still gets me at the age of 52 :)
I was in high school when they hit it big. My 8 track player in my car was smokin!! Love this band!!!
Kelly you are great.Lou is the original,however if you sang this song 1st it " Would feel like the first Time " Foreigner 4 Ever .Love you guys my best Rock band 4 ever.
This is one of the most perfect classic rock songs ever...Rock Hall...are you freaking kidding? Foreigner slays The Cars and Cheap Trick!
Meh...I'm a bigger Cars fan and they did something nobody else had done or has done. That being said, Foreigner 100% should be in there. Along with Styx
This song is one of my top 10 favorites these guys rock!!!!✊🏻🎵🎶😎👍🏻
So Who's Still Listening to the Amazinggg Foreigner in Sept. 2019? They STILL Rock!🎶♥️💙 From Western KY!
January 2020...From N.Y.
Boise Sep.12th,2019, they rocked!
This is their first album we have this and i was a teen thats 70s.
Lou Graham took part in creating this song lyrically and musically, so I’m damn sure this version of the song put a smile on his face.
Still love ya LOU !!
My memory is fading but I was in high school when this album came out. I seen April Wine open for these guys....1977? So long ago now. Im 61 now. No way to put in words how much different it was back then.

Wembley arena 1985, now that was a gig,still got the t shirt 😁
the guitar player from foreigner
This drummer is fucking killer. What a feel. DEEP pocket.
Takes me back to my teenage years. Sounds great!
That was freaking great!!!
Living legends? There’s only one original band member up there. They’re more like a Foreigner tribute band. Even though it’s not the original band it’s still nice to hear their music.
Love this band. The shots were amazing and the sound was perfect. Excellent mix!
Knocked it out the park...the audiece here is feeling it!
Think it felt like the first time they heard it?
People don't even realize how many songs these guys have that are fantastic that you don't hear on the radio like head knocker great tune right there there's so many more love these guys they are actually underrated which is unbelievable

Thank you for opening your 40th anniversary tour in Syracuse. Truly an amazing show last night at the Lakeview Amphitheater.
H Johnson I'm so bummed I wasn't able to go.
The best Foreigner cover band ever!
Yup, not one original member, bit rich calling them foreigner
WHAT A BAND AND AWESOME SONG LOVE TO HEAR THEM SING.
You are special
Kelly, you're a golden man in the music
good luck
I listen to your songs every day
Every song has its beauty as you
Elvira in Romania
Elvira Leban you mean Lou Gramm and Mick Jones. Kelly is just a tribute lead singer. Kelly starting to take credit of what they did in the past. Sad but true!
Viva Foreigner ... Past & Present 👍😎😄😄😄✨
I really don’t understand why Hansen gets so much hate, he is awesome with a great range.
They still solid gold!
Best on GMA..ever! Wow!
All I can say is it almost sound like the first time. They still sound great 40 yrs later.
Hope Lou Gramm is put into the rock and roll hall of fame as original member and performs with them.
Great performance...Great Singer...Still, Lou is a legend .
he's not even there lol
Most excellent. Saw them in FL 'round about 2004. St Pete or Tampa....saw so many great shows during that stint. Foreigner rocked me hard out thee in that great expanse of audience.
Wow!! Sounded AWESOME !! And Kelly got better with age !!! HE IS ABSOLUTELY EDIBLE!!!!
Great rock to listen to. I was in form 3 when this song hit the Zambian music market in 1977 at my late sister's home at 81 Zaone Avenue.
Saw these guys in Jacksonville, Florida in the 1980's. They rocked.
I am still listening to them, and I am 70 years old.
It’s a shame that they are not in the rock and roll hall of fame 😂😢
friggin awesome
Where’s the original Singer, he,s best of all
ONE of the living legends of Foreigner. Cover band. Period. If Ringo got some new guys could he call it the Beatles???
@3:36 The woman in Red pretending she knows the lyrics - but she's actually seeing Van Halen running with the devil lol
LOL!
Lol
Went to this tour when it came to the metro Detroit area, just awesome!
That same year Boston made its Debut and I was 16 and Livin and Lovin every bit of Life back then And then some!Anybody know of a Time Machine to bring back the 70s!
Great song, great rendition, good vocals!
After 40 years still sound great...
Hansen is an excellent singer. As far as him sounding like Lou. When he was hired by Mick he was told to practice and sing like Lou. Personally, he is a very good singer.
What a great job.. taking great music to the people using whatever tools needed to make it great.. cheers Foreigner...
I love these guys!! ❤
The new lead singer sounds terrific I like the energy that he brings to the band his vocals are just as good as Lou grams 👍
No, they're not. I've seen Foreigner twice in concert back in the day with Lou Gramm. This is a very good cover band. Nobody hits the notes like Lou did. He is Foreigner.
That's still a fantastic song... wish Lou could still be the frontman though.
Lou just isn't the same....he's done.
He was so very ill .
Extremely lucky to have survived a 19 hour brain tumour surgery.
Salute you Lou , you were incredible 😢
@@marycrowe3569 In Lou's prime, Kelley couldn't even come close vocally.
Where are the amps and speakers?
These guys and 38 special are awesome.
FOREIGNER IS OFF THE CHAIN UNBELIEVABLE THE BEST OF THE BEST LIVE NUFF SAID
Not their best performance but with their crew and sound gear they still rock on the road.. Kelly is a strong front man
OK! NOW I'm in love ❤️
Sounds damn good!
Indeed this was a great performance! The replacement singer really nailed it. This is a great treat for the audiences of Good Morning America even the hosts were enjoying themselves. Great entertainment.
Feels like a cover band that Mick has put together, does it sound good sure. Should have called the Mick Jones experience! Sorry but nothing about this band is Foreigner other than the songs being played and is supposed to be 3 Britts and 3 Americans.
On of my all time favorite bands and road trip songs,,Seen them in Vegas,and they tore the house down
Kelly Hanson is amazing ,keep rocking boys
It's hard to beat Lou Gramm's vocal.
Again, I watched it , and that is a great song ( go , they are great , and Magic Mike ) yeah !
Daamn! That was a rockin performance!
So I got my metronome out... and noticed this performance is a slower but consistent 100 bpm vs the original studio which is an erratic 104-108 bpm. Wonder why they slowed it down? Getting older? I was just curious as live versions usually go faster than the originals. Also love that drum fill at 4:36, that's new.
