Format

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: "Boys", "Girls", "Over 30s", and "Groups" (including duos). Through the live shows, the judges act as mentors to their category, helping to decide song choices, styling and staging, while judging contestants from other categories.

Stages

There are five stages to the competition:

  • Stage 1: Auditions (these auditions decide who will sing in front of the judges)
  • Stage 2: Boot camp
  • Stage 3: Four-chair challenge
  • Stage 4: Judges' houses
  • Stage 5: Semi final
  • Stage 6: Live shows (finals)
