Amazing talents have already impressed “X Factor Australia” Season 7 judges Guy Sebastian, Dannii Minogue, James Blunt and Chris Isaak during Sunday’s premiere episode. Contestants Lisa Mondy and Maddison Milewski are just two of the singing talents who received the approval of the judges as well as the audience on “X Factor Australia” Season 7, which airs at 7 p.m. on Seven network.

Lisa Mondy gave an impressive emotional performance of “Strong” in the 2015 premiere episode of “The X Factor Australia” Season 7, hosted by Luke Jacobz. Mondy, 28, has joined the reality TV competition after surviving the attack of a great white shark in 2011, the Sydney Morning Herald, or SMH, reports.

Another impressive “X Factor Australia” Season 7 audition came from Maddison Milewski, a 15-year-old student. Milewski performed her version of Sia’s “Elastic Heart” during the audition process and it has earned her a standing ovation from the four judges.

Meanwhile, news.com.au reports that the new season of the reality TV singing competition consisted professionals and recycled reality contestants during the auditions. Among the singing talents who auditioned in “X Factor Australia” Season 7 were also contestants of “The Voice Kids” and “I Will Survive” like Maddison Milewski, Ethan Karpathy, Chris Lanzon and Adrian Espulso.

Natalie Conway, 33, is one of the professional singers who auditioned in “X Factor Australia” Season 7. Conway, who confirmed that she sings for a living, has a YouTube clip of her performance with Seven Network’s Sunrise house band shared on her management page and a song titled “Move Me” that has reached the No. 4 spot on this week’s ARIA (Australian Recording Industry Association) Club Charts.

As for the judges in the new season of “X Factor Australia,” crooners Chris Isaak and James Blunt, together with 2003 Australian Idol winner Guy Sebastian, has replaced the show’s previous judges Redfoo, Ronan Keating and Natalie Bassingthwaighte. Some “X Factor Australia” viewers have expressed their approval on the new panel of judges on social media sites like Twitter, while the others want to add another female judge on the panel because the show reportedly “feels unbalanced.”
