After weeks of electrifying performances on American Idol season 20, rocker Tristen Gressett was eliminated from the competition, but fans are crying foul because they experienced technical difficulties during the show. Tristen, a 17-year-old high school student from Pell City, Alabama, took American Idol by storm with his energy and talent. A true rocker, Tristen was known for his unique style with his long hair, jewelry, and fashionable accessories. His showmanship stunned the American Idol judges, Lionel Richie, Katy Perry, and Luke Bryan, and the audience.
During the American Idol Top 11 episode, the contestants participated in the Judges' Song Contest. Lionel, Katy, and Luke each chose a song for the contestants who then selected one of the songs from the list without knowing which judge picked it. After their performances, they guessed which judge picked their songs. Tristen delivered a rousing rendition of «You Can't Always Get What You Want» by The Rolling Stones, chosen for him by Lionel. Tristen owned the stage, dancing and singing in full rocker clothing. Despite his captivating performance, Tristen was in the bottom two with fellow contestant Lady K at the end of the night. Katy and Luke, who won the Judges' Song Contest, earned the opportunity to save one of them, and they picked Lady K, eliminating Tristen from the American Idol competition.
