on the x factor, how many of the entries do Simon,Sharron and Lou actually see in person?

Question

thousands apply but how many see the stars

Answer 1

i don't know exactly but its definately the minority.

i read g4's book (the group that came second in the first series) and they wrote that they had to get through two auditions before they actually saw louis, sharon and simon. i guess that must whittle down the thousands into just a few....
