It is produced by FremantleMedia's talkbackTHAMES and Simon Cowell's production company SYCOtv. The title of the show reflects to the imperceptible capability that points out the features of a star material.

The X Factor is a leading television talent competition in Europe, with 200,000 auditioning for series 4. The prize is a ?1,000,000 (sterling) recording contract over and above the publicity appearance in the later stages of the show itself creates more enthusiasm and interest, not just for the contestants, but also for the public viewing the show. The show has proved hugely popular with audiences, with the series 3 final attracting eight million votes and 12.6 million viewers and has generated three winners to date: Steve Brookstein, Shayne Ward and Leona Lewis correspondingly. The winner of the fourth series will be announced in December 2007.

The X Factor was developed as a substitution for the particularly flourishing Pop Idol, which was put on vague break after its second series, principally since Simon Cowell desired to launch a show that he possessed the television rights to.Adaptations of The X Factor have also appeared in many other countries. Looking at series from 1 to 3, The X Factor judges were Simon Cowell, Sharon Osbourne and Louis Walsh.

Subsequent to some months of assumption and conditional lineup changes, the series 4 judges were finally confirmed in June 2007 as Simon Cowell, Sharon Osbourne, Louis Walsh and Dannii Minogue, with Brian Friedman taking a role as performance coach and choreographer. Judge Sharon Osbourne has said she will not return for series 5 if the series 4 winner does not come from her category. This has been denied by Official Sources. According to an ITV Spokesman has established Sharon Osbourne's X Factor contract will run until the show's contract is over in 2009. Nonetheless, Dannii Minogue's contract only runs until Series 5.

Kate Thornton hosted the show up to series 3. Thornton was reinstated for series 4 by Dermot O'Leary who signed a contract worth ?1 million to present two series of the program on ITV. Nonetheless, O'Leary was not forced to depart the Big Brother franchise and sustained to present Big Brother sister shows during summer 2007.Voice-overs are given by Peter Dickson and Enn Reitel.

The show is principally apprehensive with classifying singing talent, though appearance, personality, stage presence and dance routines comprises of imperative elements of many performances. Some acts also come with themselves on guitar or piano, though almost always over a backing track. The single most significant feature that the judges are in quest of, on the other hand, the ability to appeal to a mass market of pop fans and meet the standards of real pop music.

For series 1?3 the competition was split into three categories: vocal groups together with duos, solo singers aged 16?24, and solo singers aged 25 and over. In series 4, the age limit was reduced from instead of 16 to 14 to 14?24 of age. This was come apart into separate male and female sections, making four classes in all: 14?24 males ("boys"), 14?24 females ("girls"), 25-and-overs, and groups.
