Fifteen-year-old Tristan McIntosh got an amazing surprise at the end of her Idol audition, and it wasn’t a golden ticket – though she did get that too!

McIntosh’s introduction revolved greatly around the absence of her mother, Amy McIntosh, who is serving our country overseas as an army major in the Middle East. Though the 15-year-old was disappointed her mother couldn’t be at auditions to support her, she knew she was there in spirit.

The 15-year-old truly blew the judges away with her talent and established herself as a real contender in this competition.
