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 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)
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 RUclips 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!
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. 😎
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”,
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.
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!
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.
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 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
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.
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!!!
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…
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!
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.
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 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!
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
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.
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.
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!
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!!
(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!
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.
Lou Gramm has an excellent voice! Please listen to other Foreigner songs. Lou can sing many songs, not only ballads. Thanks for sharing.
You gotta hear Urgent, and Cold as ice by them! Amazing band
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 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
Now you need to do "Waiting for a Girl Like You." ♥
Monster world wide hit
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.
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!
The Choir makes this song so much powerful.
Totally!
The Sounds of Blackness out of Minnesota that was the choir
The rabbit hole of Foreigner is very deep! Great band, and even better singer. Awesome songs.
YES!!!👍
This is one of their ballads. They have an extensive discography. If you want something with more "energy" I recommend Head Games
Juke Box Hero, Urgent, That Was Yesterday, Cold As Ice ,so many great songs from Foreigner
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!
Lou Gramm is one of the great rock voices of all time. Hands down.
This band was big, and they have so many big hits!
One of the Best Rock singers of all time big rabbit hole to go down.
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
You need to listen to Jukebox Hero, Urgent and Cold as Ice. All fantastic Foreigner songs.
Awesome band.

Foreigner is being inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame this year.
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.
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”,
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.
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.
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!
Such a powerful love ballad. Foreigner rocks and has lots of great songs to be discovered.
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.
Hi, I'm from São Paulo! Wow! Beautiful song! ABRAÇO FORTE DE URSO!
Well the U.S.A is happy to have you here 😊🎸
Holy cow your women are hot! The U.S. welcomes you!
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.
Nothing and no one will ever beat Lou's voice! He has that certain sound that so raspy and powerful. Thanks for the reactions.
Another song I don't get how someone can have missed.
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 is fire, period 😃
Absolutely must do "Juke Box Hero"
This was one of the best songs and they had a lot of great tunes over the years
Juke box Hero, Cold as Ice,Hot blooded, Waiting for a girl like you. Are just a Few to start with.

Foreigner Urgent/Jude box hero/wanting for girl like you these are some great foreigner songs
Love Foreigner
I absolutely LOVE this song!
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!!!
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!
This was used in a Shriners Hospital Commercial. There is a touching video on RUclips of it.
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
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…
Awesome ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
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!
The ending of this song reminds me of we are the world

This is the quintessential definition of a power ballad.
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.
Foreigner has nothing but great songs! so does Lou Gramm on his solo career. "Midnight Blue" or "Don't let go"
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.
It's the New Jersey gospel choir you hear in this song
Juke Box Hero, Urgent, Cold as Ice, ...
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 definitely would recommend Juke Box Hero. You will love the guitar work on that song.
It was so great..on tour, they would find that cities choir
to come sing at the concert. Great rep for the city. ❤❤
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
One of the athems of my life.

The album Foreigner 4 was one of my favorite albums back in the day.
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..
This was their only song to reach number 1 on the charts.
Lou Gramm's vocal talent was immense.
the 80's
power ballads and mullets were rampant
One of my absolute favourite 80s songs 💛
Thanks for playing this fantastic video, love this Group!
Urgent. Should be your next one from them.
So many great Foreigner songs
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.
Foreigner 4 is a great Album, for example
There is an answer to this song written by John elefante, a close friend of Lou Gramm, called 'this is what love is'
Love these guys. The song that introduced them to me might be a good one next, check out 'Cold As Ice' next. Cheers.
I think it's fair to say this is a mature composition.
Please do more Foreigner. They have a huge catalog and probably 20 Top 40 hits.
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!
You cannot think your way through a feeling 😊
This is so very awesome! The chorus was unreal. Love your reactions!
I remember this song was used in a episode of Miami Vice many many years ago.😢
I love Lou Gramm's voice !!! You working for the weekend and loving every minute among others !!
Foreigner, awesome!! Check out"Jukebox Hero" by this band.
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!!
My favorite song of theirs ❤❤❤❤

Who is the choir ,their great!!!!
You should check out Anne Murray's music. From the 60s to the 80s she had songs on the charts. Now And Forever (1985) is a beautiful song.
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.
Classic 80's rock
Lou, the man with the magic pipes.
great song.......
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤80S❤❤❤❤
A melhor música composta,para mim a melhor das melhores.🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹
Do more Foreigner, great band, going in Rock & Roll Hall of this year, one of my favorite bands of my youth.
also did great rock songs like Jukebox Hero or Cold Blooded
The GREAT Grammy, Tony-winning Jennifer Holliday sings the background vocals on one of the greatest songs in pop (especially 80s) history.
