Chris Cayzer Makes it to Round 3 of The X Factor Australia, an Early Favorite of Fans

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.

Video: Former Kapamilya Chris Cayzer Auditions for 'The X Factor Australia'

Former Kapamilya singer-actor Chris Cayzer auditioned in the Australian version of The X Factor where he received a standing ovation from judge Melanie Brown (a.k.a. Scary Spice of the Spice Girls) and some members of the audience.

Chris Cayzer's The X Factor Australia audition aired Monday night and he just wowed the crowd with an alternative version of Vanessa Carlton's A Thousand Miles. 

Melanie Brown said that she's found "something extra special" with Chris Cayzer that  she haven’t seen in a long time, adding that Chris could win the whole thing if he's serious with the job.

Boyzone's Ronan Keating also praised the 25-year-old singer while Aussie singer Natalie Bassingthwaighte said that she's happy Chris came back to Australia. Chris Cayzer stayed for 6 years in the Philippines rounding in the country's biggest TV networks. He became part of ABS-CBN's ASAP and GMA-7's SOP before appearing in TV-5's P.O.5.

If the three judges loved Chris' performance and had given him their yeses, first Australian Idol winner Guy Sebastian thought otherwise, saying that Chris "would have to grow a lot" for superstardom and gave his "No."

With three yeses and one no, Chris Cayzer made it to the Bootcamp, the show's next round. Watch Chris Cayzer's audition video in The X Factor Australia below:
