People have posted this guy before.

It’s just okay. They’ve had thousands of mediocre male country singers on that show and this is just another.

Go ahead and list them all then. Because they aren't even many on country radio as good as him now

He’s decent at best but won’t even have Laine Hardy success and that dude absolutely sucked.


I will bet you this.

John Foster will not win it all and it will be in his benefit because he doesn't have to sign the one year contract with American Idol and he will go on and have a more successful career than Laine Hardy. Nothing against the Hardy kid, but I have a feeling he will be put on the right path.

The fact they’ve had to sing Disney songs two days in a row is terrible…..

Probably. But 1 night of Disney songs is enough.

And calling Ain't No Mountain High Enough a Disney song is a huge a** stretch.

Idol is hurting in that case or he’s a sacrificial lamb. He’s karaoke on a Friday night. That’s not a good cover at all.

Its on Remember the Titans so Disney might have some rights to the song.

According to ChatGPT Sony owns its publishing rights. Motown Records which is now Universal Music Group owns the rights.

Does American Idol have to pay for the rights of every song that they sing?

Same with Rainbow Connection. The Muppet Movie wasn’t Disney when it was released-Disney bought the Jim Henson catalog years later.

But it's still an original from the movie. Ain't No Mountain High Enough screams Motown. Same thing with Born to Be Wild. Just isn't an original from a movie.

I’ve been watching religiously. Carrie is on it, hubba hubba.

John and Breanna are incredible.
