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, a Top 3 finalist on Season 23 of American Idol, is coming home to West Baton Rouge. The West Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff’s Office is encouraging everyone to welcome him home in true Louisiana style.

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.
