This is the third year running that Australia has been invited to compete in the competition and the third year running that its contestant will feature in the grand final. Guy Sebastian represented Down Under in 2015 and Dami Im was runner-up in 2016.
17-year-old Isaiah was the winner of 2016’s Australian X-Factor talent TV show.
