Ellona Santiago earned a standing ovation from all four judges - Kelly Rowland, Paulina Rubio, Demi Lovato and Simon Cowell with her performance of Jessie J's Mamma Knows Best during the Top 8 episode and Big Band Week of The X Factor on Wednesday night, November 27.
"You may now have a chance, after that performance Ellona, of actually winning this whole show," Simon Cowell said. With her rendition of "Burn" last week, Ellona received a not-so-good comment from Cowell who described her as a "dancing puppet". This week, she was the top performer based on votes from the Judges.
Judges’ comments: Ellona Santiago sang “Mama Knows Best” by Jessie J. – Kelly said: “That was your best performance since you have been here.” Paulina said: “I am a big fan of yours and I love that you are in command. You are a superstar.” Simon said, “I did not say you were a Muppet, I said you were a puppet last week. This week it was a game changer. Next week lose the dancers. You are an incredible singer, fantastic choice of song.” Demi said, “Ellona I could not be more proud of you. Your story touched so many people, I am really really thankful for you. I agree with Simon, you could win this competition.”
Ellona performed the impressive rendition in honor of her eldest sister Julie Rose who was diagnosed of Stage 4 Cancer. Her next performance will happen on December 4.
