¶¶Òõh singer John Foster is one step closer to becoming the next "American Idol," moving into the top 7 after Monday night's vote.
For "Judges' Choice" night, each finalist picked from three songs the judges had chosen for them to perform.
"George Strait is my biggest influence in music. I've been listening to him since I came out of the womb, literally," Foster said before performing Strait's "Cross My Heart."
"I've never been able to perform a love song that I've actually meant. I'm now dating someone, we've almost been dating for a year now," Foster said. "I'm really excited to take the stage again. Brooklyn, this one's for you."
Bourque, standing near the stage, yelled and jumped up and down during the song.
"Brooklyn, what does it feel like to be you right now?" host Ryan Seacrest asked Bourque.
"I mean, I don't even know. It's so good!" she squealed.

Judge Luke Bryan, who during auditions questioned whether Foster had what it takes for the singing competition series, officially backtracked on his initial assessment.
"I was doing my TikTok stream daily, and I saw a clip of me saying I didn't know if you could sing good enough back in your audition and man, no one has ever proved me more wrong and I'm so glad … ," Bryan told him.
"American Idol" returns at 7 p.m. Sunday on ABC.
