Isaiah Takes Over the X factor Competition
After giving such a talented audition, he was able to go on in the show and continued singing iconic hits. During Bootcamp he even decided to challenge himself deeper and took on Alicia Keys “If I Ain’t Got You.” The Australian singer eventually made it to the grand finale where he was named the winner of season 8 after performing Avicii’s hit song “Wake Me Up.”
During his time on the competition show, he had Adam Lambert as his mentor. This didn’t come as much of a shock since Lambert was obsessed with Isaiah’s talent since he stepped on to the audition stage. After two people in the 14-21s category that Adam was mentoring were eliminated, Isaiah was the only one left in his age group. But that didn’t stop him. When he was crowned the winner he beat out Davey Wooder from the over 22’s category mentored by Guy Sebastian.
