I know most of them do have the x factor in it's real sense because they can't sing ! Surely it should be called the right factor or tick factor.

Maybe it comes from pirates and treasure maps where X marks the spot, and X is the treasure and most contestants are crap and don't have the X factor because they are rubbish not treasures, and when they find the singer with the X factor it will be like finding buried treasure because they will make lots of money.

X is an unknown factor, did you not learn of it in maths lessons.

x can also mean x marks the spot so if they have the x factor then they are the one.

x can also mean "unknown", essentially that mysterious factor that some people just have. x can also be shorthand for Extreme (i.e. the X-Games)

x also means unexplained, or an unknown.
Like in an equation where x is what you're trying to solve

X doesn't mean wrong, X means unknown!
