As a singer of Foreigner tunes, you simply must be highly skilled to do any justice to these songs. They are some of the most challenging vocals to perform well live. He seems like a nice person. Yes, gigs/ opportunities have declined.
Kelly Hansen is intelligent, insightful and sensible. He knows his himself well and his priorities. Most of all, he did not do drugs and that requires a lot of inner strength.
I've seen Kelly several times. Other than the great voice,etc. I am impressed how he "entertains" the crowd and seems concerned about putting on a great show. He knows just what to say to the crowd and by the end of the night, he's completely won the crowd over. What a " truly great entertainer"
Kelly is a great singer and comes across as a decent genuine guy. I'm sure whatever he and his wife do after foreigner will be a success! Wishing them both the best of everything!
Lou couldn’t do it anymore. Kelly kept this band alive. Lou was great but Kelly is great. They are still awesome live. I’ve seen them with Lou over 10 times and Kelly over 10 times. All fun. If you love the music you will be happy. Don’t dog Kelly just to be a dick.
Kelly is really right about what happens with some famous bands. I felt that when I saw The Rolling Stones some years ago. They are not the same they used to be.
He seems like a good guy just not the same as Lou Gramm but it's not his fault, lou had something unbelievable. I give Kelly lots of credit as I hear he does a great job
Re: casinos being a diverse crowd. True. I drove five hours to see you in a casino because you were in Texas shortly after my father died and the timing didn't work. But hey, in Texas, we're used to driving "a long long way from home".
i was again transfixed....he tells a great tale..and is totally down to earth!!!!!! A real pro..who has each situ sussed...and audiences.... he looks and sounds a lot like Rick Springfield......... loved the questions too..the questions that EVERYONE wants to ask..................... admire this guy so much..............intelligent and empathetic
Kelly what you did was, YOU DID NOT GIVE UP, you found ways to move ahead, but you tried, you moved and look how is has paid off, never look at what people say...
Oh my gosh, I skipped ahead and watched a few minutes of the interview and was starting to get interested and then I had to hear this guy talk about what a great drummer he is. doesn't this dude know that nobody is watching his video to hear about his life? I'm not gonna watch any longer.
@cleuzabernardes-vf5pq Yes, exactly. The interviewer needs to shut up. He "does a lot of coaching and mentoring" , " I've been the resort 20 times". Really dude, nobody cares!.
Kelly you are not only a mega artist but also a vise mentor. I wish guys like you would run countries, everything would be nicer but how can you explain this to the new generation which is totally robotized?
.E DESCULPE KELLI EU CONHECIA AS MÚSICAS DO FOREIGNER A MUITOS ANOS EU OUVIA UMA RADIO AQUI EM SÃO PAULO BRASIL Y. DIA EU ESTAVA VENDO no RUclips me lembrei da .música que eu ouvia foi dai queu fiquei muito sua fã um grande beijo KELLY HANSEM ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Brasil Y
Me encanta su carisma, su voz, su presencia escénica, Lou pudo haber sido un gran vocalista en el pasado pero ya no puede dar lo que dió. Gracias Kelly, me convertí en tu fiel seguidora. Bendiciones.
no es original el trata de imitar la voz de Lou Gramm lo cual es imposible!! Hablando de foreigner el grupo existente te desde los 70 , este señor kelly entre al grupo después que ya tenía fam por las canciones compuestas y cantadas por Lou Gramm, en resumen para mí no tiene méritos es como un karaoke o una banda omenagear a los originales
Kelly Hansen you are one of those GOOD GUYS IN ROCK IN ROLL, thanks I always hope there was some good guys...you are a entertainer that loves what he does...
I am not a hater of Hansen. Seems like a good guy!! But to remix a Foreigner/Gramm-Jones tune, with Hansen singing it, for airplay, is just blasphemy!!! lol Not a fan! He’s a fair vocalist but let’s find him some other material to record. The only “Foreigner” music that I want to hear is Lou Gramm on vocals. Sorry! Journey is a bit different. At least they did release a few new songs in the beginning. And 2 members are still there.
KELLY HANSEN IS A SUPERSTAR ONSTAGE! HE IS FULL OF ENERGY AND I LIKE HIS MOVES WHILE PERFORMING AND HE REALLY HITS HIGH NOTES SMOOTHLY! LOU GRAMM LOOKS OLD AND FAT, NOT GOOD TO LOOK AT ONSTAGE. KELLY IS THE BEST VOCALIST OF THE FOREIGNER! LOU HAS BEEN TALKING NEGATIVE THINGS ABOUT KELLY WHICH IS A TURN OFF ATTITUDE! KELLY HANSEN IS THE BEST!
If you and your wife have pressed and betrayed out my crown and place now would you please be so kind to leave me, my life and my phone now? And forever please. 👑🇮🇱 24.06.2024 I don't need more of you, really not!
@@StreetTruckinTitan have you been celebrating 4/20? He’s not even in his league . Lou Gramm in his prime was the best vocalist in rock. It’s be because of him that that wannabe has a career.
He's singing the songs the way theyre meant to be performed. He explained that in part one of this interview. Nobody wants to hear a different version of Foreigner.
@@Reba24u You forgot about Johnny Edwards . Lous first replacement. I like him better. He was chosen over Hansen and Mark Free (King Kobra) to replace Lou in 1990. UNUSUAL HEAT (1991) was the result. As far as infighting ? That's not why Lou left in 2003. It was because of Mick Jones alcoholism. Micks having health issues now and does not appear on stage with current lineup. His health issues aren't happening for nothing. Lou gave up drugs and alcohol years before the brain tumor and Mick never stopped. Lou came out of retirement in 2021 and Mick because of his health is now forced into retirement. He should've treated Lou better and should still give Lou his due for the royalty ratio on "I WANT TO KNOW WHAT LOVE IS " Lou did much more than just arrange and sing that vocal take with the engineer on that song 🎵 . Just saying since you mentioned infighting. Lou is still unhappy Jones screwed him over that.
@@waltersimmons946re: you last sentence. THAT is why Lou quit the band as he explains himself in an interview. He returned only because his replacement was awful and he didn't want to see foreigner lose reputation. But Lou said himself that he remained bitter (and rightfully so) about Mick ripping him off. I think Kelly is a great singer too and has greater stage presence than Lou.
Rock star, more like karaoke singer, lou gram is the singer and song writer of foreigner. What's he on about ai stealing his voice, this Guy is delusional. It's Lou's voice that would be stolen not his.
Lou lost his voice a long time ago due to health or age. Most dynamic rock singers burn out early. Ask Robert Plant to sing Zep the way he did in his prime. He cant do it.
Kelly stepped in when Lou could not go on. He saved that band, not by being Loy but by singing Foreigner songs well. Kelly has always been a good guy and an outstanding human! Foreigner was able to go on because Kelly stepped in to keep the group working! Peace and happiness to you Kel! Hugs, Jane Smolens
This isn’t the band it’s a tribute band . Kelly hadn’t sold a record or will ever have any respect from a true foreigner fan copy every little nuance that Lou did. Show some of your own chops. Nothing but a tribute act. Stop calling him a star.

Top man, and an amazing singer. Foreigner survived as long as it has, because he bravely stepped up and did what had to be done. Thanks Kelly.
E verdade um grande cantor maravilhoso lindo
I'm now a bigger fan of Kelly. Cool, humble and thoughtful man.
I so agree with you! 😊
Eu também concordo amo Kelly Hanse
Hansen
Eu AMOOOO Kelly Hansen...

I've only seen his shows on you tube unfortunately but he really comes across the way you described. A great singer, entertainer and human being too.
Kelly Hansen great rockstar, one talent Mr Hansen. One talent Mr Lou Graams the music is the art for all Star
Sua esposa deve ter muito orgulho de vc , por ser essa pessoa tão linda por dentro e por fora....pessoa boa...❤❤❤
Kelly is a great singer and comes across as a decent genuine guy. I'm sure whatever he and his wife do after foreigner will be a success! Wishing them both the best of everything!
Foreigner was my first concert in 1979! Great show, remember it well 🎼
He is a good guy and a great singer!!!!

A excellent Rock star Kelly, a voice very exceptional like himself.
Agora q estou vendo sua entrevista.....vc e d+++ tanto cantando quanto dando entrevista...vc e lindo D++++.❤❤❤
6:52 I went to the college that scared me the most. Best thing I ever did! Leap of faith.
He seems like a good guy just not the same as Lou Gramm but it's not his fault, lou had something unbelievable. I give Kelly lots of credit as I hear he does a great job
His voice is on the money, he not lou but he pulled it off greatly

Mr. Kelly Hansen have a gold Voice. ❤❤❤
Kelly what you did was, YOU DID NOT GIVE UP, you found ways to move ahead, but you tried, you moved and look how is has paid off, never look at what people say...
Cool pepper mill!!
❤️ you Kelly. How did you let your hair grow out grey ? I have been trying to but fail when the dreaded skunk line appears .
Oh my gosh, I skipped ahead and watched a few minutes of the interview and was starting to get interested and then I had to hear this guy talk about what a great drummer he is. doesn't this dude know that nobody is watching his video to hear about his life? I'm not gonna watch any longer.

Many Thanks for this interview!! Really amazing and very wise human being is Kelly Hansen!! Greetings from Mendoza-Argentina!
Kelly yuo are beautiful! I love you!
Yo lo AMOOOO también...

He is a cover version as lead singer. Lou Gram is the lead singer and co-writer of the original Foreigner. Stop misleading, get your facts right.
Kelly Hansen you are one of those GOOD GUYS IN ROCK IN ROLL, thanks I always hope there was some good guys...you are a entertainer that loves what he does...
He's a Tribute Band singer - it's not Foreigner. This guy gets way too much attention. There is only one Lou Gramm and he's the man.
Kelly is a singer in a cover band!
Lou says he should put his own stamp on the Foreigner hits and not copy all his nuances verbatim. Don't just hang his coat on Lou's hook.
So love your voice and songs always! ❤
I am not a hater of Hansen. Seems like a good guy!!

Sorry!
Journey is a bit different. At least they did release a few new songs in the beginning. And 2 members are still there.
Clicked to hear about a rock star, ended up hearing about how the interviewer met his wife.
I thought he was going to say his husband, he then proceeds to interview the most famous karaoke singer in the world, apart from the guy from journey.
Hello kelly
Kelly sooo good.saw them 3times in Vegas.love the band
KELLY HANSEN IS A SUPERSTAR ONSTAGE! HE IS FULL OF ENERGY AND I LIKE HIS MOVES WHILE PERFORMING AND HE REALLY HITS HIGH NOTES SMOOTHLY! LOU GRAMM LOOKS OLD AND FAT, NOT GOOD TO LOOK AT ONSTAGE. KELLY IS THE BEST VOCALIST OF THE FOREIGNER! LOU HAS BEEN TALKING NEGATIVE THINGS ABOUT KELLY WHICH IS A TURN OFF ATTITUDE! KELLY HANSEN IS THE BEST!
Lou is the original and when young he was much better than this guy. Also he wrote songs.
Concordo com o que você falou amo Low Gramm mas Kelly é ótimo também
I just found this. Incredible!
Oh l love Kelly 💖, a very nice person, greetings Colinda from the Netherlands kiss 😚
i like kelly hansen..very much..is a great singer🥰🥰
It is all about money
If you and your wife have pressed and betrayed out my crown and place now would you please be so kind to leave me, my life and my phone now? And forever please.
👑🇮🇱 24.06.2024
I don't need more of you, really not!
Sorry, he's not a rockstar; he's an impersonator in a band with no original members including him. Do not spend top dollar to hear a coverband !
Sir I am an Indian women, I am very simple Women,but i like song very much, life is a song,sing it,sir i want to send you my song, 🙏🙏
He’s hanging his coat on Gramm’s hook
Well Lou isnt able to hang his coat for the last 20 yrs. The hook is now occupied by Kelly.
@@StreetTruckinTitan Lou had brain surgery 20 ago. That wanna be is not even in his league. He’s just copying him
@@caperboy1169 still better.

@@caperboy1169 we're not disputing the fact that Lou was better in his prime. I'm talking for the last 20 yrs.
Let your poison by your wife. Why it always have to be me? What have I done to you?
U shoulve learnt to be yourself and not try to be lou gramm. What kind of a life is different from it to copy someone else??? Inauthentic to the max
He's singing the songs the way theyre meant to be performed. He explained that in part one of this interview. Nobody wants to hear a different version of Foreigner.
Did he have any hit songs ? Original
He has a huge ego! Can’t hold a candle to Lou!
Sorry but Hansen is not Foreigner. Lou Gramms shadow is too strong to be eclipsed by an imposter who sounds nothing like Gramm .
Because he isn’t Lou Gramm
@@Reba24u Ah, you figured that out . All by yourself too. 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆 🤣 😂 😹
@@waltersimmons946 Lou Gramm was awesome but he didn’t want to deal with the infighting . They are both excellent and powerful singers
