The X Factor is an American reality television music competition created by Simon Cowell(born 7 October 1959) and produced by FremantleMedia North America and SYCOtv, a partnership between Cowell and Sony Music Entertainment, on Fox.Based on the original UK show, and an addition to the The X Factorfranchise, the series finds new singing talent (solo artists and groups ages 12 and over), drawn from public auditions, and they compete against each other for votes. The winner is determined by the show's viewers via telephone, the Internet, and SMS text voting, and is awarded a recording contract with Cowell's record label Syco Music, worth $5 million in seasons one and two, and $1 million in season three. America has voted for the following winners: Melanie Amaro, Tate Stevens, and Alex & Sierra, respectively.
The show began airing on September 21, 2011, and has since aired annually from September through December. The series employs a panel of judges who critique the contestants' performances. Each contestant is assigned to one of four categories. The group acts are one category and the others are based on age or gender. For example, in season three the categories are girls, boys, groups, and over 25-year-olds. Each judge is assigned to one of the categories, and acts as mentor to the contestants in his or her category, helping to decide song choices, styling, and staging, while also judging contestants from the other categories after each of the live performances. They compete with each other to try to get one of the contestants in their category to win the competition, thus making them the winning judge.
The original judging panel consisted of Cowell, Paula Abdul, Cheryl Coleand L.A. Reid, with Nicole Scherzinger and Steve Jones as co-hosts. Scherzinger later replaced Cole on the panel after two audition cites. Demi Lovato and Britney Spears joined the panel in second season as replacements for Abdul and Scherzinger, while Khloé Kardashian and Mario Lopez replaced Jones. Spears and Reid did not return for the third season and were replaced by Kelly Rowland and Paulina Rubio, while Lopez became sole host after Kardashian did not return.On February 7, 2014, Fox announced that The X Factor would not be renewed for a fourth season, following Cowell's decision return to the UK version of the series a day earlier.
This is one of my favourite audictions from the TVShow "The X-Factor USA".I watched this show only beacuse there was Demi Lovato as a judge.
I love this show because it gives the opportunity at young, teenagers, mid-age and "old" people to realize ther dreams or just know from other people that they can sing. I would like to go on the show too, just to prove to my self that I can sing but I don't know when to catch this opportunity.
Some of the famous acts that have made most success are:
- Leona Lewis
- Rebecca Ferguson
- Little Mix
- Fifth Harmony
- One Direction
- Olly Murs
- Cher Llyod
- Alex & Sierra
- JLS
