On a recent episode of American Idol, 18-year-old Louisiana native John Foster delivered a heartfelt rendition of Brooks & Dunn's "Believe," leaving both the audience and his mother visibly moved. His soulful performance showcased his deep country roots and emotional depth, earning him widespread acclaim.
Foster's interpretation of "Believe" was lauded for its authenticity and connection to the song's themes of faith and perseverance. His mother, present in the audience, was seen wiping away tears, a testament to the emotional impact of his performance.

Watch the performance HERE.
The song "Believe" by Brooks & Dunn is a powerful country ballad that deeply centers around themes of faith, loss, and spiritual hope. "Believe" tells the story of a young boy's friendship with an elderly neighbor named Old Man Wrigley, who shares his life story, including the loss of his wife and son. Despite these painful losses, Wrigley holds firmly to his Christian faith, believing he will be reunited with them in heaven.
The chorus sums up his conviction:
"I raise my hands, bow my head / I'm finding more and more truth / In the words written in red..."
These "words written in red" refer to the words of Jesus in red-letter Bibles, reinforcing the song's connection to Christian belief.
