American Idol Sensation John Foster Drops Jaw-Dropping Music Video, Shocks Fans with Surprise Grammy Collab!”

Just two weeks after finishing as the runner-up on American Idol Season 23, 18-year-old country artist John Foster gave fans a powerful preview of what’s next in his music journey—rooted deeply in faith and Louisiana pride.

On May 31, 2025, Foster released a one-take music video of himself performing the classic hymn “Amazing Grace,” showcasing his signature Cajun-country flair.

“I felt it was only right for my first post-Idol video to be ‘Amazing Grace,’” Foster shared. “It’s by His grace that I’ve made it this far. This is an unfiltered, one-shot performance, and every word—including the Cajun French chorus—is my way of thanking God. Huge thanks to Fable House for capturing this special moment.”

Fans of American Idol will remember Foster’s stirring Cajun-infused rendition of the hymn during his Louisiana hometown visit, including a performance at the state capitol. His full version in the new video quickly went viral, earning over 10,000 likes within 24 hours and drawing praise for his sincerity and vocal power.

“You have touched the hearts of millions,” one commenter wrote. Another added, “The Cajun French was such a beautiful touch — thank you for honoring our Louisiana roots.”

Just days earlier, on May 29, Foster shared another meaningful moment—meeting and performing with one of his musical heroes, Grammy-winning Louisiana legend Wayne Toups. The two joined forces on stage at the Cajun Country Memorial Day Festival for a rendition of the zydeco classic “Mathilda.”

“I’m a country artist to my core,” Foster posted, “but legends like Wayne Toups have helped shape my sound. That’s the beauty of great music—blending unique styles to reach the hearts of many.”

With his raw talent, grounded faith, and deep Southern roots, Foster made it clear he’s just getting started. “Stay tuned,” he teased fans. “I’m working hard to bring you something special.”
