American Idol Iconic Moments: A Heartfelt Tribute and Milestone
During a recent themed episode celebrating iconic performances, Foster honored Carrie Underwood with a sincere rendition of “I Told You So,” the Randy Travis song Carrie famously sang on the Idol stage in 2009.
“Carrie’s kind of been my voice on the panel,” Foster shared. “During my audition, she asked me to sing a second song—and if she hadn’t, Luke would’ve been a no. This is my way of saying, thank you.”
At the performance’s close, Foster removed his trademark cowboy hat and looked directly at Underwood. Clearly touched, she smiled and said, “I’m blushing! I love watching you grow every time you take the stage.” Luke Bryan joked, “You know Carrie’s husband is a hockey player, right?” Carrie added with a grin, “He’s a big man!” Foster respectfully replied, “All respect, all respect.”
Looking ahead, fans eagerly await John Foster’s next performance on May 4, during a live show celebrating iconic women in music. With every song, he proves he’s more than a contestant—he’s a rising star with deep roots in country music and a voice made for radio, arenas, and beyond.
