Caitlyn Shadbolt sings 'Days Gone By' on The X Factor Australia 2014 (VIDEO)

Caitlyn Shadbolt sang 'Days Gone By' on The X Factor Australia 2014 Live Show 1.

This was fantastic, I thought, especially considering that Caitlyn has been a virtual non-entity for much of the season so far. She feels like a legitimate country star, and I think she has a lot to offer beyond just vocals or looks or likability. I mean, the girl can seriously play the guitar, and she has such an impressive grasp on who she is as an artist that it's hard not to root for her, at some level. I liked this a lot.
