Replacement Singers: FOREIGNER - Lou Gramm - Kelly Hansen - Who Did It Better?

In this video we compare two All-Star vocalists in one band at different times: Lou Gramm and Kelly Hansen, fronting FOREIGNER! Who Did it Better?

Replacement Singers: FOREIGNER - Lou Gramm - Kelly Hansen - Who Did It Better?

Not only is Lou Gramm one of the greatest rock vocalists of all-time but he also happens to be one of my greatest vocal influences.

I’m going to do my very best to be unbiased as I compare him alongside Kelly Hansen but I need your help. Who do you think did it better and why? Share with me in the comments!

Lou did so many things great from his range, to his tone, to his songwriting but I’m also going to try to take an honest look at what he wasn’t the best at.

I’ll be pairing up Kelly Hansen alongside him and we’ll see how they compared as we look at Kelly’s more throaty, girthy sound and what his presence was like on stage.

No one could ever replace Lou.... His voice made the band...

[panamacitybeachbum]

Your review is fair, and your attention to detail is highly accurate. Lou Gramm for the win!

[daniellopez]

Lou Gramm has no contest, the feeling he puts on his singing is irreplaceable.

[canadianroot]

First video of yours that I've seen (I'm actually just about halfway through). I want to give you props for your incredibly warm presentation style. Audience rapport in spades. Excellent expository with zero edits or notes! A tip of the cap, sir.

[RayRaySoShy]

Omg Lou's voice is just more powerful he sings from the heart. I can feel his voice in my soul. Lou is the real foreigner hands down

[marisalazzara]

OMG! There is no comparison. There would have been no Foreigner without Lou Gramm. He stands alone!

[rrtds]

I grew up as a teen in the '70s with Foreigner, Lou Gramm is one of my hero lead singers, Foreigner is not Foreigner without Lou. Just like Styx without Deyoung, Yes without Anderson, Journey without Perry, or Boston without Brad is not the same. Definitely Gramm all the way.

[robyncook]

Lou Gramm's voice is on a level of its own, and can never be replaced. The other guy was told to 'copy' Lou's sound as best he could. Lou Gramm copied no one.

[Twins]

Lou Graham hands down ! That's a crazy question 😳

[robbybjones]

Lou is and always will be the best out of the two, he had the grit in his voice ! . His voice in the studio, unbelievable!

[voxultra]

Lou it’s just incomparable.. he was in his prime time the Best Rock Vocalist EVER

[jerolynfuentes]

Lou gramm is the best singer of foreigner, no one could compared to him

[Wolfsong-cf]

100% agreement here. Lou Gramm had a killer voice. Still does! His soulful, heartfelt vocals and gorgeous sandy tone made Foreigner the rock powerhouse they were.

[chrismueller]

There's only one Lou. My man. Thank you for making my youth so memorable.

[lisedixon]

Lou Gramm 100%. He wasn't a "showman" but he delivered the most incredible bluesy vocals. He stands in a class of his own, really. Oh! And he doesn't have a rock star attitude at all, and I believe that added to his appeal with the fans. Lou also wrote a lot of the songs I believe? Lou Gramm, whether he's active/singing/alive or with the Lord, will ALWAYS be the voice/songwriter/performer that put Foreigner on the musical map. The other guy seems like he'd probably be a better replacement for Steve Tyler, just sayin'.

[boxerc]

Lou Gramm is just on a whole other level… Sings from the heart.

[Norelti]

Lou is the voice of a generation. And a gentleman to boot. Rare combination.

[bettyandrews]

No contest.LOU GRAMM. One of the greatest voices ever

[ericlarkins]

Lou is the champ, not many can stand in his shadow.

[Sean-mefv]

Lou's voice was just pure brilliance.
