Following extended footage of John Foster's trip home to Louisiana on Wednesday, the Addis teen just returned to the "American Idol" finale stage to perform his second solo song, "Take Me Home, Country Roads," a hitmaker for '70s folk/country artist, the late John Denver.
"I just want to see that birth certificate one more time, " judge Lionel Richie joked with Foster, alluding to the maturity and strength of his vocals. "And secondly, for all of you out there, vote, vote, vote."
Judge Carrie Underwood followed him by saying, "Of course, the country boy would have an amazing hometown welcome. That was such a great thing to watch."
"Yeah, that, that hometown piece, I mean, woo, I can't take that," judge Luke Bryan chimed in "It was really beautifully done. And hell, I've never seen a crawfish that big. I need to, can that thing come to Tennessee."
