While Louisiana native John Foster has continued to progress in "American Idol," which has its season finale Sunday on ABC, the Vegas-style oddsmakers still don't love his chances of winning season 23 of the show.

John Foster, a Top 3 finalist on Season 23 of American Idol, is coming home to West Baton Rouge. The West Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff’s Office is encouraging everyone to welcome him home in true Louisiana style.

American Idol Season 23 finalist John Foster visited his hometown of Louisiana on May 14, 2025. During his visit, he went to his high school, Brusly High School, where the town welcomed and cheered the finalist.
