During the homecoming which was shown on Monday, mentor Chris Isaac predicted that Cyrus will win the show. The 19-year-old Filipino descent from Wollongong, New South Wales, impressed the judges with his performances of The Weeknd’s “Earned It” (he got a full standing ovation), Labrinth’s “Jealous” and his winner’s single “Stone.”
“Stone,” by the way, is now available on iTunes.
