what is the x-factor?

Answer 1

It's like the UK version of American Idol(Simon Cowell is a judge aswell).People have to go through audition stages at the beginning,and quite a few aren't the best of singers which can be funny,and then when we get to the live stages the acts perform and the public vote for who they want to stay and the remaining 2 acts (normally) go head to head and the judges decide which one goes.The categories are:
Sharon Osbourne: Girls
Dannii Minogue: Boys
Louis Walsh: Over 25s
