Foreigner Interview on BBC Breakfast

Mick Jones and Kelly Hansen of Foreigner stop by BBC Breakfast to discuss Foreigner's upcoming UK tour with Europe and FM. The tour kicks off at the Olympia Theatre in Dublin, Ireland on March 30, 2014.

Sorry, Kelly is too animated, acts out too much, like he is trying too hard on stage. His voice is ok, but no Lou Gramm. Perhaps I am biased towards Lou and set in my ways. I I have tried to give Kelly a chance but it is hard to do when I feel like Lou is such a big part of what made Foreigner so good. I feel the same way about Journey and their replacement singer, just not the same.

[@adriangarza8849]

Lou Gramm voice made Foreigner and Kelly is great but he should of not recorded Foreigners Hits of Lou Gramm

[@jasonpohle369]

Adrian Garza yes, exactly

[@charlenewebb1802]

Adrian Garza,Those song's are also Mick Jones so why can't they do them. He is after all the founder of Foreigner not Lou Gramm.Why not just quit hating. I love Foreigner Then And Now. I think they're both great. Stay safe and have a good day 😘

[@lancasterdevs]

Kelly your voice sounds good, But, nothing like foreigner with Lou Gramm, Foreigner will never be the same without Lou Gramm.

[@parveentam4324]

I agree. Foreigner is never be same without Lou gramm

[@tealbaron9708]

Dumb commercial.

[@raquelkaluza5112]

...kh tries to copy lg's style but no match, ...i am have so much fun watching the orig foreigner vids with LG...foreigner is LOU, LOU is foreigner...💛

[@charlenewebb1802]

Jacob Kaluza Why are you watching this when you know it's not about Lou Gramm? I guess you are just one of those Kelly Hansen haters. I happen to love Kelly's singing and think he is the best. I love Lou's singing too he was great. I can love both singers. I think Foreigner sound's better than ever ❤️ Give respect to Foreigner Then And Now. Lou likes Kelly why can't you. Have a good day 😘

[@adriangarza8849]

Foreigner belongs in HOF now and Lou Gramm deserves most credit for it " Mick desreves it 2 👍

[@parveentam4324]

I don't like Kelly. I prefer Lou gramm.The way Kelly sings is too narrow. Lou grammar has attractive good looking when he is young. Kelly try to do over head to Lou. That is impossible he can act go over Lou.

[@riffraff4213]

Total horseshit... Foreigner is Lou Gramm... this dude sings OK, but you can't replicate or replace a voice like Lou. He is why the songs are so fucken amazing... Axel covered Brian Johnson... admirable job, perhaps... but you know.

[@nh8383]

I think they sound amazing.Maybe not the old foreigner but still a great band!

[@XyzXyz-mm9vq]

I'm so disappointed with Mick! Not one word was mentioned to honor Lou Gramm's MAJOR contribution to the band. What a shame!

[@markdelacruz1322]

Kelly's got a pretty voice, but that's all he's got. Rock on Lou!

[@terry21651]

I Want To Know What Love Is and Looking For A Girl Like You....The mood of the audience changed because of Lou Gramm making if famous. The new lead is good but can not touch Lou...Lou gave you chills

[@jessibrunson3234]

terry21651 ...Amen.... they're sitting there acting like THEY made it famous....give me a break!! It makes me sick that the younger people don't have a clue.

[@charlenewebb1802]

@@jessibrunson3234 Why are you such a Kelly Hansen hater? I love Foreigner Then and Now. Would you rather Foreigner had died when Lou Gramm left? I am glad they didn't. Mick Jones is and always will be the founder of Foreigner so if he wants to keep on as Foreigner let him he has the right. Leave Kelly alone he is a great singer in my opinion. Keep on rocking guys ❤️🎃🤟

[@jasonpohle369]

It’s like going to a bar and seeing a cover band doing someone else’s music

[@jasonpohle369]

Summit X not saying he can’t sing, but when it’s not the original sound you’re used to hearing, it is like a cover band. He’s good but Not the Original singer!!

[@petewoodroffemusic]

"Ireland, Scotland and Uk" Poor old Wales!

[@aline22760]

Just unque artists love you guys

[@hiltonlouque1504]

Without Lou Gramm not worth watching!!

[@simba30]

[@fredriccartier8983]

Kelly Hansen is incredible!

[@perlacarolinasandovalsuazo9372]

I loved Kelly's performance!, He's awesome!

[@isabellegutierrez4259]

Kelly hansen is absolutely one of the greatest rock singers forever!!! Kelly is the Best lead singer in Foreigner history,no kelly no Foreigner❤❤

[@horshack641]

Fake singer !!!! Sounds so off cover band

[@ergegeergergeg3256]

Kelly seems like a very nice guy and has a good voice. Sounds nothing like Lou Gramm mind you but he is a good front man. Its too bad he has to sing songs he never wrote or made famous just so the cover band calling themselves Foreigner can pay the bills. I would love to see Kelly put out his own music and perform it. Not Lou's

[@qwelco]

ergege ergergeg Most of the songs were written by Mick so to call them a cover band is a bit sour grapes. I loved Lou Gramm in Foreigner but he has so let himself go (illness apart) and he also tours only singing Foreigner songs. As for Kelly Hansen this guy has a fantastic rock voice which is well suited to Foreigner and I saw them in Newcastle and they were brilliant. You learn to love a band for the music not just the people and I'm sure Lou would think that it was ok for his songs to be sang so well as Kelly sings them

[@ergegeergergeg3256]

Most of the songs were written by Lou and Mick. More by lou if you do some research. Sour grapes???? Because I dont like a cover band??? Really did you say that? I say something nice and you have to get petty. Thats sour grapes

[@qwelco]

My point is what were the band supposed to do when Lou could not go on? It's taken him nearly 15 years to recover, Hansen is as good a choice as any to front the band. Check him out from his Hurricane days too. I love the original Foreigner just as I do AC/DC Thin Lizzy Rainbow and other rock bands that changed line ups more times than most. A compliment to Lou that people still want to go hear his music, but not for some who seem to incorrectly in my opinion (not You) lay the blame at Hansen.

[@jessibrunson3234]

qwelco ..."but, he has so let himself go" (,illness apart)....are you kidding me? He didn't LET himself go! The tumor and then the medications caused all of his problems. You need to go back and regroup....the whole thing is sickening! Lou, is still the better singer. Kelly, might do a good job, but....not as good as Lou.....Lou, puts his heart and soul into those songs... that's the difference.
