John Foster – Something to Talk About by Bonnie Raitt
John reveals that Miranda was his first crush. And he flirts with her! Miranda helps John stage manage his performance.
He’s bringing more personality to this performance than usual. It’s subtle, but he’s bringing his own twist to the song. Halfway through the song he picks up the mic to interact with the audience, AND EVEN THE CAMERA. Oh boy, the girlies are going to love that. His easygoing style and confidence tonight are infectious.
Carrie says “You are the one that we have watched grow the most. You feel more comfortable. Keep leaning into that.
