[@kayomholt-montague7661]

Adam Lambert sings a pretty mean, power ballad. Check out Believe by Cher at the Kennedy Center Honors.

Excuse me, I don't know if it's because I grew up with these songs, but songs like that are not written or sung anymore. The 80s were the coolest!

[@lisak4367]

@Andrea R. B. Sadly, no, they aren't written or sung anymore.

[@larvt]

The 80’s had some great music but it all comes from the 70’s. Anyway, you got great taste of music.

[@chinchillacrystal6899]

ted ritola YESSS!!! All great songs!

[@chris-rfs]

Andrea,you are so right.This fantastic music from the 80s is so much better than the so called music of today.A great time to be young and i think the music reflects the time it was produced.The great 80s!!.

[@janicewinning2847]

I prefer the sixties music and I have lived through the 1970’s,1980’s,1990’s,2000’s and 2010’s but still think the sixties were the best times ever for music

[@graciesmom1477]

You can't go wrong with Foreigner. One of their best songs.

[@bethshadid2087]

70s Foreigner was rocking out the jams and 80s Foreigner rocking out the ballads.....best of both worlds....kid to teen 💗

[@marcieharreld286]

💜💜💜

[@johnholmes5282]

Jesus,I miss the 60s and 70s

[@rpminc1974]

Foreigner has endless hits, take your pick !!

[@manuelganotti2776]

Listen Lisa Stansfield, All Around The World

[@stephanietaylor6155]

YES!

[@RD-bn7jt]

YES and Lutricia McNeal ,,Ain't that just the way"

[@Shawney-jf6kc]

Foreigner..,Cold as Ice and Hot Blooded if you didn’t check it out

[@dionnecoburn134]

You have now discovered Foreigner!!! No auto tune just greatness!! You will not find a bad song from this band!! I am so excited for you to discover more from them!! Awesome reaction!! Stay safe

[@trinaortiz9195]

I love this song. My husband played this song for me when we first started dating. It is our song!

[@hildalalonde2848]

This was music. So glad to have been a teenager late seventies and early 80's.

[@dlove7141]

please react to "Is this love "by whitesnake.. another powerful ballad

[@yasminm7157]

Love that song!

[@scottdebruyn7038]

...And 'Here I Go Again' :)

[@lisadavie5819]

Is this love by Whitesnake is one of the greats.. x

[@sammybeck7794]

I saw them during their Foreigner 4 album tour and Lou Gramm doesn't miss a note live

[@djs3484]

Was bummed when he left.

[@shericampbell-husband2528]

That’s the stone truth. Foreigner was one of the first true rock concerts I ever went to. I was hooked!

[@user-or1ye3iz6d]

This was my FAVORITE song for so many years when it came out. Whenever I hear it these days, I get sooo nostalgic. ❤️

[@tolun99]

something satisfying watching the younger generation hearing for the first time the music I grew up with.

[@1980sPainTrain]

This song transcends both space and time. It is pure emotion personified.

[@markcastellanos9678]

Lou Gramm is so underrated. His range is flawless.

[@Divocwax]

Underated???

[@Ghoul_OPBR]

BLUD!!! Almost everybody knows this song someway or the other, most not by name but they definitely know it 💀

[@SadieCo149]

Now begins the age of looking like you came out of the gym (started by Olivia Newton John). Foriegner made some romantic, beautiful music. Love the organ parts. Lou Gramm has just that cry and want in his voice. You are a romantic too.

[@yasminm7157]

Yes it has that yearning quality

[@swederoorad2318]

The gym clothes, haha, true!

[@CopperRed3]

The "organ" parts were by Thomas Dolby of "She blinded me with Science" fame

[@markvicferrer]

That reaction at 2:10 was exactly what I was expecting. That part hits hard.

[@novascotiagirl4618]

love foreigner..that was yesterday is another great song

[@phylliskumi4355]

Legendary 80s song. Really good to hear a ballad that is rock based

[@Eowyn187]

You've just went from good to better. What a beautiful song. Love Lou's voice. Sooo many great ones by them.

[@johndillon1299]

Such a great Band

[@andrewbsfootballarchives4247]

My all-time favorite Foreigner song right here. 1981, just such a DAANGG good year in music.

[@kimberlinibambini1988]

You WILL LOVE “ I wanna know what love is.” Official video- aaaand, warning., you’re gonna love them ALL! Foreigner (Lou Graham ) is out if this World! 💛❤️✌️✨

[@frankrizzo4460]

Yes Lou Graham had such great soul to his voice. Such a great time to be young and having all this beautiful music 😁🤔

[@lynnsmith3976]

Jovaughn, such a classic. I remember when this song was released and I got chills and to this day I still do. Sadly there is nothing like this out there today. Thanks for this memory.

[@raisa_cherry35]

So true dear ❤😭

[@CaroleMcDonnell]

ooh i like this. But my fave foreigner song is "I want to know what love is." This reminds me of another song from this era. Not this group though. Check out Orleans, "Still the One."

[@bluetarot9244]

Urgent -great driving in the car w windows down Really talented band

[@ckobo84]

"I want to know what love is" is the only song I don't like of theirs. I knew it meant they had jumped the shark and where officially done as a rock band when that wuss song came out.

[@marladiamond7849]

Carole McDonnell I love I Want to Know What Love is. It’s an awesome song and one of my all time favorites. Also That was Yesterday and Two Different Worlds.

[@CaroleMcDonnell]

@@marladiamond7849 yes! we understand that even the hardest rock band has a sweet mushy soul hidden within screaming to get out!

[@EugeneBristol-fu8iy]

Yes I grew up.listening to this

[@lorivassallo8643]

One of my all time favorites...love Lou Gramm's voice...brings back memories...miss the 80's..

[@yourgirld3506]

I listen to this song almost daily. I never get tired of Lou's voice!!! The version I have is live but this one is the original. Amazing huh?

[@softshallow7435]

1980’s the best decade for music ever!

[@lisak4367]

One of Foreigner's Best.

[@kimberlinibambini1988]

Holy crap! You’re in for a GREAT song and band! I’ll just have to go nuts waiting for your reactions to all their HITS! They’re rabbit hole is absolutely HUGE!! Jamel did numerous songs of theirs , in 1 day a while back- and still did at least one yesterday! There a a LOT of iconic HITS with Foreigner.. not just songs, but HITS! “Hot Blooded” next please! 💛❤️✌️✨

[@ICTS22]

The synth work on this is amazing yet so subtle. It's like a warm blanket.

[@ricoricarte5183]

This is one of my all time favorite 80s groups

[@shawnk7832]

The rare song that no matter how many times I've heard it over the years, it still gives me CHILLS!!!😁

[@ljcwantsprivacy1]

Wow, I’m still getting goosebumps hearing this decades after my first listen! Thanks for finding THIS version to play!

[@marcieharreld286]

They were spectacularly magnificent in concert!!! Damn I miss the 70's!!!🎶🎵🎼🎵🎶

[@scarlettohara5030]

This was THE song for slow dancing with your crush or boyfriend when I was in high school. To this day, at 54, this song gives me the warmest, fuzziest feelings as I go down memory lane. Lou Gramm's voice is perfection. This song was on the album Foreigner 4, which IMO, was their last great album. I suggest "Urgent" if you haven't yet. Thank you for making me very happy. xo

[@thedocofrock1890]

foreigner is one of those 'once in a lifetime' bands. more hits than a mohammed ali/ joe frazier match

[@davem.2191]

My favorite Foreigner song. Thanks for reacting to it. 👍

[@lisadavie5819]

Simply amazing. No one can come close to Lou Gramms vocals, one of the best singers EVER. x

[@tawneenielsen4080]

Louis Gramm solo "Midnight Blue" is great too. Have I mentioned Icehouse "Electric Blue"?

I love this song. foreigner was the first concert I ever went to back in early 80s. ❤

[@cheryljackson5659]

I've been skeptical in the past, but I fall in love with this song more and more each time that I hear it. But I LOVED your reaction to this one, particularly how you encourage the singer to "sing it, man" and your dancing in the chair. Yeah, this was a good one!

[@ayseclark-carter8744]

What a lovely song. Love his voice so nice. 😊😊💖💕💖

Great pick Javon, Peter Gabriel “ in your eyes”

[@bluetarot9244]

“In Your Eyes” is one of the greatest songs and arrangements ever Peter Gabriel is stellar

[@kimpalko3391]

That was mine and my husbands song when we were dating. Love it!

[@vtbmpskier5400]

Yes Peter Gabriel's "in your eyes" is a classic

[@Thrivinginthespotlight]

I like that you're vibing with the song with minimal pausing of the video, good reaction

[@Astarstruckfan]

This track is everything beautiful a love song can be by Foreigner

[@megadeth440]

I wasn’t born until the 90s so I missed out on much of the amazing classic rock but I was fortunate enough to see foreigner live in 2016 and this song was amazing

[@kathyriggins1923]

i love your reaction to this song! the smile gets bigger and your start your dancing arms!!

[@seanwardell846]

Yes, listen to more Foreigner - Urgent, Cold as Ice, Hotblooded, Double Vision, Head Games, Feels Like the first time, so many more good ones. Also I think a lot of Lou Gramm solo stuff is great too.

The way he bends that one note in the chorus.

[@brigitter1469]

I had to have an emergency C-Section with my son. They must have played this song in the operating room or in the recovery room, because every time I heard this song after, it reminded me of my sweet Son. But, the only difference is it was I've Been Waiting For a Son Like You, for me LOL Not Girl!! A few years before, as a teenager, I had a baby boy who I had given up for adoption, so I related to the song, when it said "This heart of mine has been hurt before", it was so true for me. 4 years ago, that other son, found me on Facebook! We all had a huge reunion together, brothers, sister and me! This song!!!

[@HelenBeeee]

thats really awesome :)

[@leslie8888]

My 2nd concert was Foreigner at WSU! The concert had all the college girls screaming! We couldn't sleep! Lou Graham's voice was so pure and strong! 💞✌

[@exito3317]

Master piece. Omg! Escalofrios

[@mezellenjohnson2753]

Oh thank you for reminding me of this wonderful song, he sings with such emotion and the band is fantastic, this is a great song. My husband and I had a cassette with this on, and I used to play it on my way to work, absolutely relaxing when stuck in traffic, and the lorry drivers used to bib theirs horns and give me a thumbs up - great days that you have brought back to me bless you. Take care and stay safe please everyone God bless you all love hugs and peace Mary-Ellen UK

[@annadipietro4379]

So Great! Makes me remember how great this music is.

[@monica11760]

Great song and wonderful reaction!

[@fionaslifeinzimbabwe11]

The 80's songs were about vulnerability - that feeling we could all relate to as teenager. Before internet and social media, and we were still allowed to feel whole beautiful feeling of discovery in our own way - pain of first unrequieted crush , frustration with our wings clipped when we want to fly, dreams, friends, thoughts to the plans ahead - a diary. Not drugs and guns. Those were great times to grow up. The music was was optimistic - as was our OTT (over the top) fashion. I miss the 80's!

[@jennifermorris6848]

This was one of those songs where we were all “waiting” for your reaction to the chorus. Such a great reaction. Loved how it lit up your face.

[@fritzk3627]

Amazing song! Thanks for covering this song.🔥🔥🔥

[@gav240z]

Songs with meaning. I love this guy's reaction though priceless. My 1 year old son loves this song too. He stands in the corner next to the speaker and rocks back and forth to it.
