The X Factor is an Australian version of the UK show to uncover new singing talent. The first season aired from February to May; from the second, it's aired from July/August to November. FremantleMedia Australia's The X Factor airs on Seven Network. The title "X Factor" alludes to "unique" singing talent with star qualities. Network Ten had The X Factor in 2005 but discontinued it after the first season due to low ratings. The Seven Network won a "bidding battle" for the show in2010, and a second season was produced. The X Factor was renewed by Network Ten after Australian Idol ended. TV3 airs it in New Zealand. The Xtra Factor was on Network Ten in 2005 and 7Two in 2010. The show was canceled in 2011. In2005, Kate Ceberano, Mark Holden, and John Reid judged. The 2010 revival of the show featured Ronan Keating, Guy Sebastian, Natalie Imbruglia, and Kyle Sandilands. Imbruglia and Sandilands were replaced by Melanie Brown and Natalie Bassingthwaighte. In the fifth edition, Dannii Minogue and Redfoo replaced Brown and Sebastian. During the televised audition phases of The X Factor, competitors originally sang in a "audition room" in front of just the judges, but from series two onwards they sang on stage in front of the judges and a live audience. The successful acts advance to "bootcamp" and then "home visits," when judges cut their category down to three acts who will continue to the live shows, where the audience votes for their favorite act following weekly performances by the participants.
