America Can’t Get Enough of John Foster Now in Idol’s Top 7

LOS ANGELES — From the bayous of Addis to the bright lights of Hollywood, 18-year-old John Foster is living the dream on American Idol. With every heartfelt note and every flash of that now-iconic cowboy hat, the Louisiana teen continues to capture hearts across the country — and now, he’s officially made it into the Top 7!

On Monday night, Foster wowed with a powerful rendition of George Strait’s “I Cross My Heart,” securing his spot in next week’s much-anticipated Disney Night. It’s been an emotional ride, and America just can’t get enough.

Sunday night’s live show was all about celebrating iconic women, and Foster kicked things off in style with Bonnie Raitt’s classic “Let’s Give Them Something to Talk About.” His blend of Southern charm and vocal grit had judges raving — especially about his growing confidence.

“You’re peaking off the charisma charts right now,” Luke Bryan said, while Carrie Underwood praised Foster’s evolution on the Idol stage: “You get more comfortable every week.”

Foster’s journey has been marked by raw talent and emotional depth. From his tear-jerking original “Tell That Angel I Love Her,” written for his late best friend Maggie Dunn, to a foot-stomping version of “Jailhouse Rock” (yes, he even tossed in a few Elvis-style moves), Foster keeps proving he’s the real deal.

With help from mentors like James Taylor, and support from judges and fans alike, John is gaining momentum with every performance. Even his duet of “I Told You So” — performed with a grateful hat-tip to Underwood, who gave him a second chance early in the competition — reminded everyone just how far he’s come.
