The X Factor (UK series 1)
- The X Factor (UK series 1)
Series 1 of UK TV talent show "The X Factor" was broadcast from 4 September to 11 December 2004. It was won by Steve Brookstein, who went on to have some chart success, with runners-up X Factor (UK) article for a general description of the show's format."
After the initial auditions, each judge was randomly allocated a category: Simon Cowell was assigned solo 25-and-overs, Louis Walsh got the groups and Sharon Osbourne the solo 16–24s.
Each judge then chose twelve acts from their category to go through to round two — boot camp. After boot camp, each judge selected five acts to progress to round three — judges' homes. In this round, the 15 acts (five for each judge) went to the homes of their respective judges, where they were interviewed and performed again. Each judge then chose three acts to go through to the finals (making a total of nine finalists).
The finals consisted of two live shows each Saturday evening. For the first five weeks each act performed once in the first show, after which the public voted for the act that they wanted to remain in the show. In the later results show, the two acts with the fewest votes were revealed. These two acts then had to sing again before the three judges decided who was eliminated.
The format changed in the sixth week: each act performed twice in the first show (with the judges offering their opinions after the second songs), and reprised one of their songs in the results show. The act with the fewest public votes was eliminated at the end of the second show, with the judges no longer having a say in who left.
