Cyrus Villanueva has advanced to next week’s final four semi-final on The X Factor Australia.
In Monday’s top-five showdown, the 19-year-old Filipino-Australian student covered Ellie Goulding’s hit track Love Me Like You Do.
“Cyrus, you are definitely a force to be reckoned with,” said judge Guy Sebastian. “You very rarely set a foot wrong in this competition. We’re only two weeks away from the final and you did everything you needed to do to be there. I hope you’re there – you deserve to be there.”
James Blunt said: “I think it’s a really, really tough song. Cyrus, you’re the one person in this competition who can pull it off – awesome.”
Dannii Minogue added: “I turned around and not only was everybody standing up, but there were people crying as well.”
Villanueva’s mentor, too, was all praise. “I’m really happy you took the hard way, not the easy way,” he said, referring to Villanueva’s decision to play the piano during his performance. “You did the work and I’m proud of you. Well done, man.”

ReplyDeleteIt's a great moment to be appreciated as an artist. His parents must be very proud of him.

ReplyDeleteFilipinos love to support other Filipinos on international TV. It doesn't matter what, support is given nationwide.
ReplyDeleteHow talented! I don't really watch the show but it's nice to see people supporting their countrymen!
ReplyDeleteI like his voice. His choice of songs though are not too mainstream "singing contest pieces" in my opinion. He should also control his facial contortions when he sings. Fortunately he is a good-looking guy, so he can get away with these.
ReplyDeleteYou made me curious wht is so good about him as compared to others... You are right, he's pretty good. I think it's nice to support your fellow countrymates from your country!
