Tristen Langley, 15, pulled out the famous "mom card" when he auditioned with his mom, Season 1 finalist Nikki McKibbin, for the American Idol's Season 13. "Second-generation 'American Idol'! This is something! This is history!" declared judge Jennifer Lopez. Sadly, like his singing wasn't all that spectacular. Rumor has it that he was voted in because of his mom's past in AI. However, for those who can remember, Nikki was an underdog in her time, the subject of much criticism. Would her son get the same fate?
