Rachael Thompson has just passed “The X Factor Australia” audition, but already she’s a star. The 14-year-old One Direction fan’s rendition of Gabrielle Aplin’s “Please Don’t Say You Love Me” has pushed the song to number one on the iTunes charts.

On Sunday, the young aspirant took the stage with her guitar in a bid to impress the judges Redfoo, Natalie Bassingthwaigthe, Dannii Minogue and Ronan Keating. And she did.

She got standing ovation from all judges, with Ronan even cheering so loudly for her. The Irish crooner was so impressed with the teen that he rushed to the stage to give her a hug.

“It was so beautiful, so mesmerising, so perfect,” an amazed Ronan said. “This is the most important yes I’ve ever given in this audition.”

Rachael’s voice was hauntingly fascinating that she has called as the next Adele by some viewers.
