The emotional performance brought him to tears, and he ended it by saying, “I love you, Maggie.” He then gestured toward the audience, where Maggie Dunn’s and Caroline Gill’s parents were seated.
Some of the songs’ moving lyrics are:
“Each tear that falls on my guitar
Is a hug from afar
Lord, won’t you tell that angel I love her?
As y’all live in the stars”

A NEW COUNTRY STAR IS RISING and his name is John Foster. This 18-year-old heartthrob from the small town of Benton, Kentucky, left the audience speechless during his performance on American Idol 2025, delivering an original, emotional ballad written for his two best friends who tragically died in a car accident at just 16 years old. The song instantly positioned him as one of the season’s front-runners.
With his worn-out cowboy boots, a heart full of country soul, and a voice as smooth as Tennessee whiskey, Foster captivated the crowd — some were even brought to tears — as he strummed his guitar and poured raw emotion into every word.
Lyrics like “Heaven knows I miss her, tell that angel I love her…” left Lionel Richie wiping away tears, while Carrie Underwood exclaimed: “Y’all, we just found the future of country music!”
