A Kiwi builder who auditioned for The X Factor Australia in his work boots and a high-vis vest has made it through to the top four of the competition.
Tangaroa Te Tai, also known as 'Big T', faced his biggest challenge in the talent show yesterday when he faced up
against Mahalia Simpson in the bottom two.
The New Zealand-born miner received more votes for his rendition of R Kelly's I Believe I Can Fly the Simpson's version of Miley Cyrus' The Climb, sending him through to the next round.
Te Tai is being mentored by judge Chris Isaak and now heads into the top four, who will battle it out for a place in the finals.
During his audition, judge James Blunt picked Te Tai to win the Australian TV competition.
