Rodelle Borja received a standing ovation from all four judges — Louis Walsh, Michelle Visage, Denise van Outen, and Jason Byrne.
Borja said he joined the competition to inspire others, especially those who stutter like him.
The 29-year-old nurse also shared his struggles growing up with a speech disorder and how music helped him get through it.
“I am not really…I’m not that confident in expressing myself by talking,” he said.
“I express myself more, and I express myself better by singing,” Borja added.
As of writing, Borja’s audition video on Facebook has been viewed over 300,000 times.
