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 ‘s cowboy hat is basically a part of him, so don’t expect to see him without it on television. Ahead of the American Idol finale, John revealed why he won’t be taking off his favorite accessory during the final episode of the season.

Judges Luke Bryan, Carrie Underwood & Lionel Richie will crown the next American Idol winner this Sunday, May 18.
