Mahalia Simpson has received a standing ovation from all four judges on The X Factor Australia - the second Kiwi to woo the talent show this week.
Simpson, 22, impressed the judges - including James Blunt and Guy Sebastion - so much they were out of their chairs and applauding after her performance of Corinne Bailey Rae's Like A Star.
