To be fair...Here's the foreigner I'm excited about now! I lost a lot of faith in the band after the last few years. Lou was such an amazing singer, but after Mick decided to replace him with a new lead singer.....I think he made an amazing choice! Here's the NEW Foreigner:

1. "Feels like the first time"

2. "Urgent"

3. "Say You Will (2007 version)"

What do you think of the "New" Foreigner?

Not interested. They are very good and the new guys does well but I will remember the days of Gramm. However,my best to them.

I dunno.
I trying to 1ove them sti11 but with ONE origina1 member 1eft it's rea11y strange.

He11, I'd have a hard time be1ieving even Nea1 if he had himse1f and 4 other dudes who were never in the band ca11ing itse1f Jrny.

Even Jeff Jacobs the keyboardist from 93-07 is gone now.

They did put on a terrific New years Eve show on tv, though.

I loved Lou he was foreigner to me and other...just the same as Mr P will always be journey to some of us. But i have to say i did like it.Who is the new guy anyway?

You can do both, you know. The new lineup sounds great.

So true--might give it a try with BA on the East Coast tour.

that acoustic "Say you will" is awesome.....I need to have audio from that!
Kelly Hansen is the best guy for this job....
this shows how you can get the perfect replacement without all this drama....

They sound good enough for me to go see.
I do believe they're coming round here to Rockin On The Riverfront
in the summer and I think we'll attend that show.

Babyblue the new guy is Kelly Hansen.

the new lineup is awesome. Kellly Hansen is amazing. go see them. it's a great show.

The band sounds reasonable but the new dude isn't even in the ball park of Gramm's capabilities. I'm with RPJ, it's hard to sell with Mick being the only one left.

I think my screen name says it all......

Kelly is indeed the "perfect" replacement. I love this new lineup.

I'm not a big Foreigner fan, but I think they sounded good. Id pay a few bucks to see em.

I would go see the new Foreigner because Lou left on his own and the new singer..Kelly..sounds good..unlike other situations..

I saw Foreigner with Def Lep last year, and I enjoyed the new line up. Of course having Lou Gramm would be the best, but they were really great and I look forward to seeing them this year when I see Bryan Adams. It's just great to hear the music live

Just hearing the clips on youtube..Kelly hansen sounds great, i actually want to see this band now. I think theres a dvd out im going to have to try and see this one.

He's really entertaining too. Great stage presence! Lot's of fun

Shocking. Lou Gramm is too unqiue, just like Steve Perry - I can't listen to this.

I tried.

I like them...even living in Lou country. But I despise anything acoustic. Plug it in and play it hard and loud baby!

Happen to agree.
That lead balloon version of Say You Will being the perfect example of this annoying practice. I have NO problem W/
playing it that way if it's that way on the studio arrangement. But to rearrange to acoustic a) sucks and b) seems lazy.
