WATCH: Franklin Calleja Wows X Factor Malta Judges With ‘Vocal Acrobatics’
This weekend’s ‘Overs’ Chair Challenge was definitely not lacking drama or talent in any way, shape or form. We’ve already seen how Anna Faniello stole everyone’s hearts and learnt about Rachel Tedesco Triccas‘ tragic inspiration; but we’d be doing the episode a disservice if we gloss over the vocal beauty that was Franklin Calleja.
Singing Sarah McLachlan’s ‘In The Arms of an Angel’, Franklin impressed viewers and judges with his heavenly rendition of the 90’s power ballad. He was only the second performer to brave the stage, but he definitely made sure he wouldn’t be forgotten by the end of the episode.
All four of the judges were impressed by Franklin’s performance and, as Ira said, his ‘vocal acrobatics’, securing him one of the six available seats. Franklin will now be competing in the judges’ houses episode, and if he is successful he will move on to the live shows!
