In a creative and bold performance, John Foster took a Disney favorite and gave it a completely new flavor. The song “I Wanna Be Like You” from The Jungle Book is usually jazzy and full of fun. But Foster changed things up by turning it into a country tune. His version had banjos, a western swing, and a voice that sounded like it came straight from an old cowboy movie.
The setting matched the music perfectly. Dressed in western wear and standing on a rustic stage, Foster looked and sounded like he was in the middle of the Wild West. The way he sang made the lyrics feel deeper and more serious even though the song was originally light-hearted and playful.

People were surprised but in a good way. Many didn’t expect a Disney song to sound so fresh and different. That’s what makes Foster special: he isn’t afraid to take chances. He makes old songs feel brand new by adding his style. His version of the song felt like a story being told around a campfire under a starry sky.
And just when you thought he couldn’t top that, John Foster returned to American Idol 2025 with a heartfelt performance of “Tell That Angel I Love Her.” This time the vibe was emotional and soft. The song was slower and more touching showing a completely different side of him. It felt personal like he was singing directly from the heart. The crowd was silent listening to every word.
