Excuse us while we mop our tears off the floor.

American Idol contestant Tristan McIntosh was on the show last night, Thursday night, and she owned that stage.

Not only did Tristan wow the judges, she was also reunited with her mother who is currently serving the country overseas. Yes, America was brought to tears with this reunion.

I know we're early into the final season of American Idol, but I would be SHOCKED if Tristan McIntosh was NOT in the final three at the end of this season. This is pure talent.

What a moment on Idol. And honestly, this is what I will most about American Idol when it signs-off after this season.
