Although the Aussie hitmaker acknowledges there are a few strong contenders on the show this year, she's happy to tip Rylan as the real star of the series.
'I Love Rylan, of course I do,' she raved.
'I think it's brilliant he's been put through. Who's the person who gets the most attention? I think he's been great for the show and won a place in people's hearts,' she added.
The pint-sized singer went on to explain she can empathise with the camp wannabe because she doesn't have the strongest vocals on the music scene.
She explained: 'I had to learn about how to use my voice and how to develop it.
'But now I accept I'm never going to sound like Christina Aguilera.'

She's even unsure as to whether she would have made it through to The X Factor's live finals if the show had have been around back in the day.
'I dont have a massive voice and thats what they normally go for,' she said.
'I probably would have [entered] but whether I would have got through or not, I dont know.'
But despite her love for Rylan, it's Tulisa Contostavlos' girls she's backing to win the competition.
'My favourites are Jade [Ellis] and Ella [Henderson]. Although, Jahmenes [Douglas] voice is out of this world. Its shaping up to be a good year,' she added.

Probed on whether she would consider a judging role on the ITV juggernaut like her sister Dannii before her, she told new! magazine: 'It might be like a lot of things in life where thinking about it is more difficult than doing it.
'I think if I was driven to the studio and told I was doing it, then Id get into it and I might find it really fulfilling.'
She continued: 'Im sure Ive got enough to offer. Ive been there and never had anyone hold my hand, so it would be quite nice to do that for someone else.'
