Teen Pinay Makes X Factor Australia Top 9

Filipina singer Marlisa Punzalan has made it to the X Factor Australia.

The 14-year old Pinay performed Bjorks hit “It’s Oh So Quiet” which received good praises from the judges. She was applauded for making risk in her performance although the two female judges Nat and Dannii gave her some pointers on her song choice and some problems with her notes.  Her mentor Ronan Keating said he’s so proud of her.

Marlisa will be back next week together with other 8 singers of the competition. Girl group XOX was eliminated this week.
