Tristen Gressett says auditioning has been a dream ever since he watched 'American Idol'. Tristen Gresset says, "I've always wanted to be on, but I never looked at myself as ready, and there was something about this year this past year, and I was like I'm ready to take a leap, take a chance, and I was like here we are." Tristen Gresset is among these young stars who will be seen on the stage of the original singing song.
