When the contestants has performed in front of the three judges, they will vote in which the contestants are going home or going to the workshop. The "Workshop" is where the contestants on short time, is going to work together. When they performed together, the judges will pick which contestants who's going to the second last stage. When the contestants are down to fifteen, they will each performer one last time for an audience. After that, each record label will pick 3 contestants, they want to sign with. The nine contestants who has signed with one of the three record labels, will perform the next week on the final stage.
