Idol Contestant John Foster Plays Original Song
John Foster, a Louisiana native and LSU student studying to be an oncologist, recently made it to the top 14 on American Idol.
During his Top 20 performance, Foster took the opportunity to share an original song he wrote only days after his friend passed in 2022. The song is titled “Tell That Angel I Love Her.”
According to L&M Star Productions, Foster said,
“I wrote this for the two sweet angels that were tragically taken from us on New Year’s Eve. Maggie was one of my best friends and Caroline was a good friend of mine who I regret not knowing even more. Until we meet again. So much love to everyone.”
The song narrates a tale of someone who has lost a loved one and is pleading with God to convey their love for them. Some of the lyrics of the song 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”
