Revision as of 10:27, 14 August 2008
Template:Future television Template:The X Factor UK The fifth UK series of The X Factor is due to be broadcast on ITV from 16 August through to December 2008. Auditions in front of producers were held in April/May, with callbacks in front of the judges in June. The number of applicants for series 5 reached an all-time high with a reported 182,000[1] people auditioning. Like the previous series a year before, series 5 gained media attention even before auditions in front of the judges began. Press attention was largely over the changes made to the cast—most notably the departures of Sharon Osbourne as a judge[2] and Fearne Cotton as presenter of spin-off show The Xtra Factor.[3]
After much media reportage, on 10 June 2008 ITV confirmed that Osbourne was to be replaced by Girls Aloud singer Cheryl Cole.[4][5] Cotton is being replaced by Holly Willoughby.[3]
Judges
Confirmed judges for series 5 are Simon Cowell, Dannii Minogue, Louis Walsh and Cheryl Cole. On 6 June 2008 (six days before filming was due to begin at the London auditions) ITV announced that long-standing judge Sharon Osbourne had left the show.[2]Cite error: The <ref> tag has too many names (see the help page). Media speculation over the reasons for Osbourne's departure alluded to rising tensions between her and fellow judge Dannii Minogue, as well as disputes over pay.[6] Just before series 4 began, a clip of the show that aired at the ITV Autumn Launch showed Osbourne to claim that she felt series 4 was "her year to win", adding: "If I don't win I will fire myself – before someone else does!". Osbourne did not win series 4 – the title was taken by new judge Dannii Minogue with her act Leon Jackson. On 10 June 2008, four days after Osbourne's departure, ITV confirmed that Girls Aloud singer Cheryl Cole was the new judge for series 5 and the replacement for Sharon Osbourne[4][5].
On the subject of new judge Cheryl Cole, Dannii Minogue has said that she is not replicating the treatment she received from Sharon Osbourne as a new panellist. In an effort to ensure that Cole does not "suffer the same"[7] as she did, Minogue has praised the new judge, saying: "She’s very knowledgeable about music and I think she’s going to bring a new side to the show."[7] Minogue also recounted an episode that took place on the third day of auditions, where Cole "was talking about urban music and telling Simon [Cowell]: 'This is what the show needs; this is where you’ve been going wrong.'"[7] For his part, Cowell is reported by Minogue to feel that Cole's voiced opinions are something "which he loves".[7]
Presenters
Presenter Dermot O'Leary returns to host the main ITV1 show, choosing to leave other projects, including his ongoing role as the host of Big Brother's Little Brother, in order to "concentrate" on The X Factor.[8] Xtra Factor presenter Fearne Cotton left after series 4, having presented for only one series, to be replaced by Holly Willoughby.[3]
Promotional trailer
A trailer for the fifth series was released online on 4 August 2008. It shows panning shots of the revised judging panel, including a solo zoom-in of new judge Cheryl Cole. Re-using The X Factor's familiar soundtrack of "Carmina Buruna: O Fortuna", it shows a selection of the less adept auditionees and the subsequent judges' reactions.[9]
Auditions
A reported "record-breaking"[9] 182,000 applicants[1] tried out for series 5, with filming for auditions in front of judges taking place in June/July 2008. Auditions were held in the cities of London, Birmingham, Manchester, Cardiff, Belfast and Glasgow (and possibly others).
Bootcamp
It is expected that, as in series 4, all four judges will work together at the bootcamp stage of the competition, then disband for the "Visit to the Judges' Houses" round.[citation needed] Various newspaper sources have reported that the bootcamp was held at the O2 arena in Greenwich, London on 4 August 2008.[10][11] Contestants are said to have stayed in a nearby hotel in Blackheath.[11]
Sunday results show
The live stages of series 5 were proposed to be divided over two shows: a "performance show" on the Saturday night, followed by a results show 24 hours later, on the Sunday. The move (as alleged in the press) was in light of rival TV show Strictly Come Dancing having already adopted this format. Media reports around early June 2008 told of an apparent clash between executive producer Cowell and the show's series producers over the prospect of making the Sunday results show a pre-recorded broadcast, filmed on the Saturday night, and aired the next day, to save money. Reports claimed that Cowell was strongly against this idea and wanted to keep the Sunday results show live to maintain entertainment appeal.[12][13] In contrast, series producers were reportedly not in favour of broadcasting a live Sunday results show because it would cost an extra £500,000 to stage. In late July 2008 a newspaper source reported that the idea of a Sunday results show had been scrapped, in favour of continuing the regular format of announcing the results after the performance show on the Saturday night.[14]
