Format

The show follows the format of the original British X Factor. Created in 2004 by renowned British music executive and producer Simon Cowell and the production company FremantleMedia, the format has since become an international success. Adapted versions of the show have been shown in over 20 countries worldwide. By now the "X-Factor" format has become one of the most popular singing talent shows in the world, and the winners in each country often go on to be successful recording artists.

"X Factor" (English) - the word idiom: a character trait that has no clear definition and explanation; talent. In the context of the show - "X-Factor" - part of the "star" in person "star " talent.

Auditions

The show's main aim is to find unique singing talent with a bright personality, stage presence and dance skills are also important elements that the judges are looking for. The contestants are divided into four categories: boys, girls, over 25 years old and groups.

Selection of participants is divided into five stages:

Live shows

The finals consist of two shows: during the first each act performs once, or later in the series twice, and the second show is the results show, where the public vote. The judges mentor a category, where they are responsible for three final acts each.

During the first live broadcast each of the contestants perform one song in front of a studio audience and the judges, usually all the contestants sing live to a backing track. Some performances are accompanied by choreography and instruments. After the song, the judges comment on the performance, and often there is some competition between the judges' views. The lines for voting opens immediately after all the contestants have performed. When there are just 4 or 5 acts left, the format changes a little, with two songs performed by each act. Three acts remain until the grand final where the public vote alone chooses the winner of the series.

Results

Before announcing the results of the previous show, a famous star usually take to the stage and performs. Afterwards the results, in no particular order, are announced. The presenter announces who goes through to the follow week, leaving the final bottom two. These two acts go head to head and have to sing for survival. The judges then decide, with one vote each, who should go through to the following week and who should be eliminated. If there is a tie, the result goes to 'dead lock' where the public vote is used again, and the act with the lowest number of votes leaves the show. The details of the votes are never announced, as this may influence subsequent votes in future weeks.

Later in the series when there are just a few acts left, the judges do not vote, only comment on the performances. Only the public vote counts in the results shows.

Season 1 (2010-2011)

The first season of Ukrainian X-Factor began on 4 September 2010, presented by Oksana Marchenko. The judges were: showman Ihor Kondratiuk, singer Yolka, rapper Seryoga and music critic Sergei Sosedov.
