Addis native and Brusly High graduate John Foster has made it to the Top 7 of American Idol. Brusly High Principal Walt Lemoine says the world is seeing the real John Foster.
“Everything that you’ve seen is legit. It’s not cliche. John Foster was just always a model student, a model human being.”
Lemoine says Foster, who’s now a freshman at LSU and was co-valedictorian last year, was a quiet, humble role model for the other students at Brusly High, and Foster’s success is no shock to him.
“The fact he’s where he is, I’m not surprised, but then when you think about it last year he was graduating from high school and running the hills of Brusly High School in little Addis, Louisiana.”
Lemoine says he’s an unassuming star; and the first time he heard Foster perform, he says he never expected that voice from one of his students.
“To me, he’s just got and old soul. Thats who he sounds like. He’s not a big presence as a human being. You’re like…thats coming out of him?”
Watch Foster perform this Sunday on ABC.
