On Tuesday, Fostanes performed her rendition of Kelly Clarkson's hit "Because Of You" during the Top 5 performance night. Later in that live episode, it was announced that Fostanes was among the highest vote getters and thus, safe from elimination.

Fostanes will be joined by three other contestants of the show in the Grand Finals to be held on January 14.

Has been working as caregiver since she was 23 years old, Fostanes hopes that the "X Factor" will change her life.

"Of course, I love my life to be change. It was very hard. For 20 years of working as a metapelet (caregiver) not only on this country (but also) from another country. I think, it’s enough for me. For 20 years of working, it’s very long time," she said in a VTR. "I want to take out my family from sad story also because they are very poor in the Philippines."

The Filipino community in Israel has been very supportive of their fellow kababayan. Rose also has a number of Israeli fans voting for her.
