When John Foster walked onstage at Paragon Casino Resort to perform “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue,” no one expected just how deeply it would hit. This wasn’t a flashy moment it was a defining one. It’s no surprise millions now follow John Foster for his raw honesty and relatable feelings and in this performance, that honesty echoes like a drumbeat.

In the video Foster’s delivery of Toby Keith’s anthem was electric not because it was loud, but because it was true. His voice carried grit, reverence, and fierce emotional weight. With every word, you could feel his respect for those who serve and sacrifice. By the time he reached the chorus, the crowd was fully locked in hands over hearts, heads nodding, some even wiping away tears. He didn’t just sing the song, he stood in it.

The reaction speaks for itself. Audience members rose to their feet. Fans thanked him for bringing the song back to life in a time when it still feels deeply relevant. Some shared personal stories: military families, veterans and fans who felt moved in a way they didn’t expect. It’s the kind of performance that sticks because it doesn’t ask for attention it earns it.

While “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue” grounded the room with solemn pride, then his other performance of “Callin’ Baton Rouge” on American Idol 2025 lit it on fire. If the first video showed a soldier’s resolve, the second revealed a southern spark. John didn’t just shift gears  he kicked the doors open with energy, grit, and charm. If “Courtesy” was John’s salute, “Baton Rouge” was his party.
