The 18-year-old Tennessee native, now a Top 2 finalist, didn’t need fireworks or theatrics. He let the music speak, and the result was nothing short of magical.
“He knows who he is. And he’s not afraid to stay there,” said judge Carrie Underwood.
“This song has been covered a hundred different ways, but tonight it sounded brand new — because it sounded like John Foster.”
A TRIBUTE THAT FELT LIKE HOME

“Take Me Home, Country Roads” is more than a song — it’s an American anthem, rich with nostalgia and heart. Foster’s version didn’t just pay homage to its roots. It breathed new life into it.
His soft, mellow vocals carried a wistful sincerity, as though he wasn’t just singing about home — he was singing to it. Viewers were quick to feel the difference.
“You looked like you were sitting on your front porch, just singing for your people,” said Lionel Richie.
“And we all got invited to that moment. That’s the magic.”

FROM AUDITION TO ANTHEM
John Foster’s journey through American Idol wasn’t always smooth. His early audition drew mixed reactions from judge Luke Bryan, but week by week, Foster grew — and won over millions with his authenticity, humility, and raw talent.
Performances like George Strait’s “I Cross My Heart” and his original ballad “Tell That Angel I Love Her” (a tribute to two friends lost in a tragic 2022 car crash) built the foundation of a fanbase that now spans the country.
