Villanueva did a cover of the James Day song during the show’s third live episode on Monday, which will be the basis of the viewers’ votes to be revealed later Tuesday.
The two contestants with the lowest number of votes will be eliminated from the competition.
Among the top 10 finalists, Villanueva was the last contestant to perform.
Aside from his performance on Monday, “The X Factor Australia” also congratulated the Filipino-Australian singer for topping the iTunes chart with his cover of “Wicked Game,” which he performed last week.
His version earned him raves from his mentor Chris Isaak, who was the original singer of the song.
Villanueva is the latest Filipino talent to make rounds in "The X Factor," following the similar success of Filipino acts Neneth Lyons and 4th Power in the UK version.
