John Foster Brought Tears To The American Idol Audience With Original Song
John Foster reached the top 20 of American Idol. He then performed his original song “Tell That Angel I Love Her.” The song is a heartfelt tribute to his two late friends, Maggie Dunn and Caroline Gill.
The emotional performance brought him to tears, and he ended it by saying, “I love you, Maggie.” While the tears fell, Carrie Underwood asked John about that ending sentence.
John shared that it was dedicated to his lost friends. He then gestured toward the audience, where Maggie Dunn’s and Caroline Gill’s parents were seated.
Some of the songs’ moving lyrics 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”
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.”
