X Factor USA

• The X Factor is an American reality television
  music competition show created by Simon Cowell
  and produced by FremantleMedia North America and
  SYCOtv, a partnership between Cowell and Sony
  Music Entertainment, which aired on Fox from 2011
  to 2013.
• The show began airing on September 21, 2011,3
  and aired annually from September through
  December until 2013

4
Categories

• The show is primarily concerned with identifying
  singing talent, though appearance, personality,
  stage presence and dance routines are also an
  important element of many performances. Each
  judge is assigned one of four categories, to use
  their experience to help the artists.

5
Auditions

• The show is open to solo artists and vocal groups
  aged 12 and above, with no upper age limit.
  Applicants are given an opportunity to apply by
  uploading a video audition to the Internet. The
  show's producers also send a "mobile audition
  van" to various locations throughout the U.S. to
  audition singers who are unable to attend the
  arena auditions.

6
Live Shows

• The selected finalists (either 16 or 17 acts)
  move into shared accommodation at the Hollywood
  Hills to take part in the show. The mansion is
  also notably used for housing the finalists from
  American Idol.
• 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 or more acts
  being eliminated.

7
Results

• Before the results are announced, the results
  show occasionally begins with a group performance
  from the remaining contestants.
• The two acts polling the fewest votes are
  revealed. Both these acts perform again in a
  "final showdown", and the judges vote on which of
  the two to send home.
• Ties are possible as there are four judges voting
  on which of the two to send home. In the event of
  a tie the result goes to deadlock, and the act
  who came last in the public vote is sent home.
  The actual number of votes cast for each act is
  not revealed, nor even the order.

8
Judges

• At the time of announcing the U.S. version of The
  X Factor, Simon Cowell was the only confirmed
  judge for the show. He later said that he was
  taking the choices of who to join him on the show
  very seriously, saying, "It's pointless hiring
  judges who don't know anything about the music
  business.
• After season one, the show's producers had said
  that they would undergo some changes which
  resulted in, what media outlets called, an "X
  Factor Shake-up".

9
Hosts

• Cowell initially indicated that The X Factor may
  have two hosts. Numerous people were speculated
  to host the series, including High School Musical
  star Corbin Bleu, model Marisa Miller, and Dermot
  O'Leary, host of the UK version.
• On May 8, 2011, Nicole Scherzinger and Welsh
  presenter Steve Jones were announced as co-hosts
  of the show. However, following the departure of
  judge Cheryl Cole in season one, Scherzinger took
  her place and Jones became sole host.
