About The X Factor
The X Factor is a television show franchise originating in the United Kingdom,
where it was devised as a replacement for Pop Idol. It is a singing competition,
now held in various countries, which pits contestants against each other. These
contestants are aspiring pop singers drawn from public auditions. The
"X Factor" of the title refers to the indefinable "something" that makes for star quality. The prize is usually a
recording contract (in addition to the publicity that appearance in the later
stages of the show itself generates, not only for the winner but also for other
highly ranked contestants). The format creator is Simon Cowell who also judges
and mentors on the UK series and is to appear in the same role on the
US series as well. It premiered on FOX on September 21, 2011. The first
season winner was Melanie Amaro. Britney
Spears and Demi Lovato will be joining Season 2 as judges. Season 2 began on September 12, 2012.
Tate Stevens was the winner of Season 2.
