What is the X-Factor's Auditioning Process????

Question

X-Factor on in the minute

But I honestly don't believe that the judges have the time or patience to sit through 8000 people. So is there some sort of filtering process done by the producers to weed out the great and awful singers which they know will make great TV.

Can anyone who has been to it tell me. I reckon 75% don't ever get to sing in front of Cowell and co.

Answer 1

yeh your right my mate auditioned and she never got to meet the judges and sang in front of the producers but becuase she wasnt one of the extremes (really good or bad) she didnt get through

Answer 2

Your exactly right, they havent. Cos i used to think they did which i felt was surely one of the reasons u dont mind Queing for hours on end to sort, see the judges. However ive had two friends go up, the first friend did see judges but 3 complete strangers, i think this is round 1. One friend went up and sung, got through round 1, then sang in front of more strangers however did see Cowell standing in the corner. I think the general idea is they see you, and if ure good or terrible they put u thru to the judges. But as u said, it wouldnt be possible to c everyone if they did
