“That was me when I was young…,” George Strait whispered, choking up as he heard John Foster sing the familiar notes. On the American Idol stage, John Foster just created a moment that made the entire “country music world SOAP”. When he sang the melody of “I Cross My Heart,” his rustic, warm voice immediately reminded many people of the legendary George Strait in his youth. But even more wonderful, when George Strait witnessed that performance, he “couldn’t hold back his tears” — as if he saw himself in the passionate new generation. That night, John Foster was no longer a contestant, but a new star lit up in the country music sky, a place that CONNECTS TWO GENERATIONS through music, through emotion, and through the most sacred pride.
