Filipino-Australian singer Cyrus Villanueva on Monday impressed the judges with his performance of Phil Collins’ “In The Air Tonight” to qualify to the top three of the “X Factor Australia.”
Mentored by American rock musician Chris Isaak, Cyrus will be competing against Over 25s artist Louise Adams mentored by James Blunt and Groups artist Jess & Matt mentored by Guy Sebastian, to select the winner of “X Factor Australia” season seven grand finals. The 19-year-old singer is the second Filipino in a row who made it to the grand finals of the reality talent show. Last year, Filipina teen Marlisa Punsalan won the show’s sixth season.
