Former Kapamilya talent Chris Cayzer went past through the group round of The X Factor Australia during the Super Boot Camp round of the said reality-talent search which aired on Tuesday night.
Last week, the audition video of Chris Cayzer aired and went viral. He sang Vanessa Carlton's A Thousand Miles on audition and got the yeses of three out of the four judges while gaining a standing ovation from judge Mel B of Spice Girls and some members of the live audience.
Chris Cayzer might be lucky enough to make it through since the group where he belonged got relatively bad reviews from the judges with their performance of New Radical's You Get What You Give. Mel B said that the performance was uncomfortable to watch while Ronan Keating found their rendition a disgrace.
Judge Guy Sebastian, who was the only one who didn't vote for Chris Cayzer during the auditions, was still unimpressed by the Filipino-Australian. He singled-out Chris and said that he doesn't have the X factor.
"I didn't get Chris. There's a certain ceiling and Chris can't get past it. He doesn't have the X factor," the first Australian Idol winner commented.
Despite being lambasted by the judges, Chris remained an early favorite in The X Factor Australia. One proof is a video posted on YouTube with him performing his audition piece to promote the show in a mall flocked by Australian fans.
