Digby is recognized on YouTube for her simple popular music covers, which include Linkin Park, Game, Rihanna, Britney Spears, Maroon 5 ,Incubus, Lady Gaga, Usher, Beyoncé and Nelly Furtado, as well as her original compositions. She has over 290,000 subscribers and her channel has been viewed over 7 million times. Her videos have amassed over 102 million views, the most popular being a cover of "Umbrella" by Rihanna, which has gained over 20 million views.
If the rumor is true that this Say it Again singer will judge in The X Factor Philippines, then it can be an advantage or disadvantage for the show. Marie is known internationally but can she comprehend once the contestants sing a Tagalog song?
