After receiving some negative comments last week, Filo contestant Cyrus Villanueva is back at his best in this week’s X-Factor Australia Top 7 Trailblazer Live Shows performance.

Cyrus covered Adele’s “Rumour Has It” that earned a standing ovation from all judges.

An emphatic James Blunt said, “Move over, Justin Bieber” and referred to Villanueva as a pop star to which Danii Minogue agreed.

Chris Isaak was speechless and could hardly contain his emotion. The mentor showed how proud he was of Villanueva for working so hard to be able to come up with such an outstanding performance.
