Getting second place on American Idol is a really big deal. But for John Foster, the show was about more than just winning. He brought a story from his own life to the big TV stage. And all that time, a special person was watching and supporting him from the side. His song, “Tell That Angel I Love Her” was his way of sharing a piece of his heart with everyone.
The song was written for his best friend, Maggie Dunn, who believed deeply in his music before she tragically passed away in 2022. On the show, he kept it simple. Just his voice and a guitar. This gentle style showed he was strong in a quiet way, letting his true self be seen by millions.
