The X Factor is an Australian television reality music competition, adapted from the original UK series to find new singing talent. The show is produced by FremantleMedia Australia and creator Simon Cowell's production company SYCOtv, and is broadcast on the Seven Network. The first season began in 2005 and was originally broadcast on Network Ten, until the show got cancelled due to poor ratings. The X Factor was revived in 2010, after the Seven Network acquired the rights through meetings with Cowell.[1]

The original judging panel included Kate Ceberano, Mark Holden and John Reid. After the show re-launched in 2010 for season two, the former judges were replaced by Natalie Imbruglia, Guy Sebastian, Ronan Keating and Kyle Sandilands. In season three, Natalie Bassingthwaighte and Mel B joined the judging panel as replacements for Imbruglia and Sandilands. In the initial televised audition phase of the show, auditionees sing on a stage in front of the judges and a live audience. Successful auditionees go through to "bootcamp" and then "home visits", where judges narrow down the acts in their category to three acts to mentor for the live shows, where the public vote for their favourite acts following weekly live performances by the contestants. There have been three winners to date: Random, Altiyan Childs and Reece Mastin. The winning contestant's single is released following their win on the show and they receive a recording contract with record label Sony Music Australia.[2]

Contents

[edit] Format

The Australian version of The X Factor mirrors the UK format. The show aims to find talent over the age of 14 in four categories: Under 25 Boys (males aged 14–24), Under 25 Girls (females aged 14–24), Over 25s and Groups.[2] In season one, the Under 25s category for both boys and girls were combined as one category.[3] In season three, the minimum age for contestants to audition was changed to 14,[2] having originally been 16.[4]

There are five stages to the competition:

  • Stage 1: Producers' auditions (these auditions decide who will sing in front of the judges, but they are not broadcast or acknowledged on the show)
  • Stage 2: Judges' auditions
  • Stage 3: Bootcamp
  • Stage 4: Home visits
  • Stage 5: Live shows (finals)

[edit] Auditions

The first set of auditions is held in front of producers months before the show is aired. After the producers have selected the best auditionees, they are invited to perform in front of the judges and a live audience. An act must receive at least three "yes" votes (two when there are three judges present) in order to make it through to the next stage of the competition – "bootcamp".[4] The judges' auditions are held on selected dates and locations in the five major cities of Australia—Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide— and are broadcast during the first few weeks of The X Factor, before the live shows begin.

[edit] Bootcamp

During the "bootcamp" stage (formerly "lock down" in season one)[3], the producers allocate each of the judges a category to mentor.[4] The "boot camp" stage is held on three days. Each judge receives 24 acts and has to narrow down their acts to twelve each after day 2, and six acts each after day 3. In season one, each judged chose five final acts instead of six.[3] The judges are each assisted by a celebrity guest judge who will help them decide their acts.

[edit] Home visits

During the "home visits" stage (formerly "judges' houses" in season two),[5] the judges reduce their six acts to three for the live shows. Each judge takes their six acts to exclusive locations around the world to experience the life of a superstar, introduce them to international artists and set the stage to inspire them to give the performance of a lifetime.

Stage built for The X Factor live shows 2010–present. The live shows are filmed at Fox Studios in Sydney.

[edit] Live shows

The finals consist of a series of two live shows, the first featuring the contestants' performances and the second revealing the results of the public voting, culminating in one act being eliminated each week.[4] Celebrity guest performers also feature regularly. These live shows are filmed at Fox Studios in Sydney. In season one, the shows were filmed at Hisense Arena (formerly known as Vodafone Arena) in Melbourne.[6] They are broadcast on Monday and Tuesday nights.[7] In previous seasons, the shows were broadcast on Sunday and Monday nights.

[edit] Judges and presenters

[edit] Judges

From season one, The X Factor judges were record producer Mark Holden, Scottish events manager John Reid, and recording artist Kate Ceberano.[8] After the show re-launched in 2010 for the second season, the former judges were not re-hired and the Seven Network hired recording artists Natalie Imbruglia, Guy Sebastian and Ronan Keating, and radio presenter Kyle Sandilands.[9] On 16 March 2011, Sandilands announced on his breakfast radio show, Kyle & Jackie O, that he would not be returning for the third season.[10] Following his announcement, rumours began to circulate that recording artist Delta Goodrem and radio hosts Merrick Watts and Jackie O, were possible considerations to join the judging panel as Sandilands' replacement.[11] Others who were also rumoured to be replacing Sandilands, included Mel B, Natalie Bassingthwaighte, George Michael and Brian McFadden.[12][13] On 31 March 2011, it was confirmed that Bassingthwaighte would be Imbruglia's replacement as a judge for the third season.[13] In late April 2011, it was announced that Mel B was Sandilands' replacement.[14] Sebastian and Keating were the only judges from the second season that returned for season three.[15]

[edit] Presenters

The X Factor was hosted by actor Daniel MacPherson in season one,[3] while model Chloe Maxwell hosted spin-off behind-the-scenes show The Xtra Factor.[16] Following the announcement of the show's re-launch in 2010, it was rumored that actors Hugh Sheridan and Axle Whitehead and former MTV Australia VJ Darren McMullen, were possible considerations to be the host.[17] However, on 30 May 2010, it was announced that actor Matthew Newton would be the show's host, becoming his first gig since he checked out of a rehab clinic for a drug and alcohol addiction two weeks prior and was placed on suicide watch.[18] A week before the second season was about to premiere, Newton was dropped from the show after re-admitting himself to rehab[19] and also due to an alleged assault on his now former girlfriend Rachel Taylor.[20] He was later replaced by actor and former Popstars Live host Luke Jacobz.[21] Newton was edited out of the original footage and new shots of Jacobz were shot instead. On 28 August 2010, it was announced that radio presenter Natalie Garonzi would be the host for The Xtra Factor on digital channel 7Two.[22]

[edit] Judges' categories and their finalists

The Xtra Factor was a companion show that was broadcast on digital channel 7Two during Sunday and Monday nights, following the main live shows.[22] From season one, Chloe Maxwell hosted The Xtra Factor, and Natalie Garonzi took over when The X Factor re-launched in 2010 for season two.[22] The Xtra Factor did not return in 2011 for the third season.

The show featured behind-the-scenes footage of The X Factor, including interviews with the contestants and judges on stage right after the main live shows had finished, in response to their performances. After the interviews, The Xtra Factor would then re-locate to the green room, where the show included more interviews and discussions with the contestants, judges and sometimes celebrity guests. Footage of the contestants during the week, were also shown on The Xtra Factor. While the show was broadcast on air, tweets that the viewers have sent to The X Factor Twitter account appeared on screen, as well as SMS messages that were sent to the show via mobile phones.
