JOHN FOSTER STOPS TIME on Disney Night with emotional MUPPETS cover—audience stunned as childhood ballad becomes a HEART-WRENCHING confession in Idol’s most unexpected performance of the season
No costumes. No confetti. Just a single spotlight and a fragile note that cracked through the noise—John Foster chose “Rainbow Connection” on Disney Night, but no one was ready for what came next. With a trembling voice and tear-filled eyes, he turned a childhood melody into something heartbreakingly intimate. What was behind that quiet pain? Why did the judges look like they’d seen a ghost? And why is the internet still reeling?
Watch the performance that left the room breathless—link in the comments now.
The summer American Idol Live tour featuring the winner and various finalists was, at one time, a yearly tradition. The final season on FOX dispensed with the tour. But when ABC rebooted the show in 2018, the franchise gave the summer outing another shot. While the tour sold out arenas during American Idol’s heyday in the aughts, as the show lost viewership, the venues became smaller, until the tour became a thing of the past.
Now, one of the only ways fans can see a bunch of American Idol alums from one season together on one stage is during the 19/BMG Takeover concert staged during the CMA festival in Nashville.
This year, twelve American Idol alums will take part in the “Takeover.” Right before the huge country music festival kicks off on Thursday, the singers will perform for fans on Wednesday June 4 at 6th & Peabody in Nashville, kicking off at 4 pm. The concert is FREE.
American Idol 2025 winner Jamal Roberts along with runner-up John Foster, 3rd place Breanna Nix and fellow season 23 alums Thunderstorm Artis, Kolbi Jordan, Gabby Samone and Mattie Pruitt will perform. In addition, alums from seasons past including Colin Stough (21), HunterGirl (20), Will Moseley (22), Wé Ani (21) and Ajii (22) will also take the stage.
American Idol will hold auditions for season 24 on Saturday June 6 during CMA Fest
Additionally, American Idol will hold auditions for next season on Saturday June 6 and a bunch of your favorite alums, including Jamal Roberts, John Foster, Breanna Nix, Thunderstorm Artis, Slater Nalley and more will appear to support all the auditioning hopefuls.
