Teenager Tristen Langley is making history on the new season of American Idol by becoming the first second generation hopeful on the TV talent show - he's the son of former finalist Nikki Mckibbin.
Nikki McKibbin finished third behind Kelly Clarkson and Justin Guarini on the first season of the show in 2002, and now her 15-year-old son has been given a chance to become star.
Langley appeared on Thursday night's (16Jan14) taped audition show,
which also featured his proud mom, and won a place in the Hollywood
round of the series.
