A 19-year-old kid from Addis, Louisiana, did something that most Nashville stars cannot do with a million-dollar studio. After a Sunday church service, John Foster recorded a hit song on his phone.
He let out a baritone note so real it would make a grown man cry. He relied on his old-school talent, which had been missing from the radio for thirty years. For anyone who thinks real country music is dead, John just proved it is alive.
He is singing ‘Goodness of God.’ But for the thousands of people listening to the real miracle, his voice. John carries the weight of a seasoned soul in the body of a teenager.
John Foster Finds the Goodness of God in a Quiet Moment
People who hear him cannot help but stop and listen. One viewer says they want him to record a whole album of country hymns. Another person simply mentions that his worship is beautiful to witness.
Side note: He actually did all of this while being the valedictorian of his high school class.
John had to walk through a very dark valley to find his true strength. He earned this through the loss of his friends. He brought that pain on the American Idol stage. This was the turning point where he stopped being just a singer and became a real artist with something important to say.
The Emotional Tribute: Tell That Angel I Love Her
On that big stage, John performed a song called Tell That Angel I Love Her. It was a tribute to his best friends who were lost in a terrible accident on a New Year’s Eve. You could hear the grit and the tears in his voice as he sang about missing them. The judges were stunned by how authentic he sounded.
John Foster brings back the old school sound of the ’90s without any computer effects. His journey from a small town in Louisiana to the national spotlight is a testament to his character and his deep faith.
