Chris Medina Continues to Make Good For His Girl (VIDEO)

To be a triple threat during 'American Idol' auditions you need three things: crazy hair, a sob story and unbelievable singing chops.

Chris Medina is exactly that triple threat, with a heartbreaking story to make both previously mentioned Paris and James' struggles look like fairy tale endings. Not surprisingly, this early 'Idol' favorite made it through the first round to continue through the Hollywood auditions

'American Idol' airs Wednesdays and Thursdays at 8PM ET on FOX.
