Template:Infobox reality music competition

The X Factor is a British television music competition to find new singing talent. The ninth series began airing on ITV on 18 August 2012.[1] Before the start of the auditions process it was confirmed that Louis Walsh, Gary Barlow and Tulisa Contostavlos would return to the judging panel. Nicole Scherzinger was confirmed as the fourth permanent judge after Geri Halliwell, Leona Lewis, Rita Ora, Melanie Brown, Anastacia and Scherzinger herself stood in as guest judges for the vacant position left by Kelly Rowland. Dermot O'Leary returned as host on ITV, whilst Caroline Flack and Olly Murs return to host The Xtra Factor on ITV2.

Auditions for the series took place between 23 May and 25 June 2012, in Liverpool, London, Manchester, Glasgow, Newcastle and Cardiff. Bootcamp took place in Liverpool for three days, between 19 July and 22 July. The final will be held at Manchester Central, the first time it has taken place outside London.

The trailer for the series premiered on 30 July, featuring former contestants Alexandra Burke, JLS, One Direction, Little Mix, Lewis and Murs.[2]

Judges, presenters and other personnel

Series 9 judges
Gary Barlow
Nicole Scherzinger
Tulisa Contostavlos
Louis Walsh

On 17 April 2012, it was confirmed that Gary Barlow would return to the judging panel,[3][4] and on 3 May it was announced that Louis Walsh would also return for his ninth year as a judge.[5][6] Tulisa Contostavlos was also confirmed to be returning,[7] but Kelly Rowland did not return due to other commitments.[8][9] Nicole Scherzinger was announced as the fourth judge on 15 June 2012, permanently filling the fourth seat from the Newcastle auditions onwards.[10][11] Individuals rumoured to be permanently replacing Rowland included Geri Halliwell,[12] Alesha Dixon, and Rochelle Wiseman and Frankie Sandford.[13] Former judges Sharon Osbourne[14] and Dannii Minogue,[15][16] as well as Katy Perry and Rihanna, are said to have turned down the role.[13] As a fourth permanent judge was not found in time for the start of the auditions, guest judging roles were brought in. They were filled by Halliwell,[17] series 3 winner Leona Lewis,[18] Rita Ora,[19] Scherzinger,[20][21] Melanie Brown[22] and Anastacia.[23]

Dermot O'Leary returned to present the main show on ITV,[24] while Caroline Flack and Olly Murs returned to co-present companion show The Xtra Factor on ITV2, but Murs was only present during the live shows as he was on tour.[25] In Murs' absence, Flack was joined by guest presenters such as Jedward and JLS.[26] Brian Friedman, who left as creative director on the show in 2010, has returned this year. Also, Natalya Nair, head of make-up, has not had her contract renewed.[27]

Selection process

Applications and auditions

class=notpageimage|
Cities that auditions were held in.

This series, for the first time, applicants were able to audition online via Facebook.[28] The show's producers also sent a "mobile audition van" to 18 locations throughout the UK and Ireland in order to audition singers who could not make the arena auditions. The mobile auditions began in Plymouth and ended 18 days later in Brighton. The van visited a different location every day except when it spent two days in Dublin on 28 and 29 April. The other towns and cities it visited were Aberystwyth, Bangor, Blackpool, Carlisle, Edinburgh, Inverness, Aberdeen, Dundee, Middlesbrough, Wakefield, Derby, Norwich, Colchester, Southend-on-Sea and Chatham.[29] Producers also had researchers invite certain people to audition, who had not applied to audition.[30] There were several rule changes in relation to the auditions: acts with current management deals were allowed to audition for the first time, in a bid to "[broaden] the net and [open] it up so that everybody gets an opportunity."[31] Also, singers could perform their own compositions and play instruments.[32]

The judges' auditions—originally supposed to start on 15 May 2012 but postponed due to delays in signing up a new permanent fourth judge[33]—began on 23 May in Liverpool (Echo Arena)[34] and continued from 26–30 May in London (The O2 Arena).[34] From 5–7 June, auditions moved to Manchester (EventCity),[34] and on 11 June, they took place in Glasgow (SECC).[34] Further auditions took place on 18 June in Newcastle (Metro Radio Arena)[34] and concluded on 25 June in Cardiff (Motorpoint Arena Cardiff).[34]

Halliwell was the first guest judge, attending the Liverpool auditions.[17] Guest judges in London were Lewis on 26 May and the second session of 29 May,[18] Ora on 28 May and the first session of 29 May,[19] and Scherzinger on 30 May.[20] Brown filled the guest judging role in Manchester[22] and Anastacia judged in Glasgow.[23] On 13 June, Scherzinger was announced to be returning as a guest judge for the Newcastle auditions,[21] before being announced as the new permanent fourth judge two days later.[10][35]

The first episode of auditions was broadcast on 18 August 2012, and featured auditions from London (with Scherzinger) and Manchester.[36][37] The second episode featured auditions from London (with Ora), Manchester and Newcastle.[38] More Manchester auditions, along with those from Glasgow, were shown on 1 September,[39] while The Xtra Factor additionally included auditions from Newcastle.[40] The episode broadcast on 8 September included auditions from Liverpool and more from Manchester,[41] with the corresponding episode of The Xtra Factor also including London auditions with Scherzinger.[42] The 9 September episode showcased London auditions featuring guest judges Lewis and Scherzinger,[43] and The Xtra Factor also included some of Ora's auditions.[44] On 15 September, auditions from London (with Ora and Lewis), Manchester and Glasgow were shown.[45] The final episode of auditions was shown on 16 September, and included more of London (with Ora), Liverpool and Manchester.[46]

Notable auditionees included Lucy Spraggan,[36] whose self-released single "Last Night", which she performed at her audition, entered the UK Singles Chart at number 11 following the episode broadcast,[47] Britt Love from the band Mini Viva,[48] glamour model and television personality Bianca Gascoigne, singer, TV presenter and stage actor Hayley Evetts,[49] Big Brother 9 housemate Stephanie McMichael (in the group Poisonous Twin) and singer and former Big Brother: Celebrity Hijack housemate Nathan Fagan-Gayle.[50] Returning auditionees included Joe Cox, Jade Richards, Melanie McCabe and Carolynne Poole, who all reached judges' houses in series 8.[51][52][53][54]

Bootcamp

Bootcamp was be held outside London for the first time in the show's history, due to London hosting the 2012 Summer Olympics.[55] It took place at the Echo Arena in Liverpool over three days,[56] starting on Thursday 19 July,[57][58] and was broadcast on 22 and 23 September.[56][59] Simon Cowell promised that this bootcamp would be "the toughest yet".[55] The age ranges of the categories were changed for this series during bootcamp; the over 25s became the over 28s (as in series 7), so the boys and girls categories contain contestants aged 16–27, rather than 16-24. It was reported that the reason for this was because the series 8 finalists were considered too young, and contestants in their late 20s did not make it into the over 25s category because of "quirky older" contestants.[60]

211 acts reached bootcamp.[61] On the first day, judges reviewed the audition tapes and sent home 60 acts before they had a chance to sing.[56][62] The remaining contestants were then put into groups and they took part in a sing-off. Contestants had a choice of the following songs to perform: "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)", "Respect", "Moves like Jagger", "Are You Gonna Go My Way", "Crazy in Love", "Next to Me", "She Said", "Use Somebody" and "How to Save a Life". After each performance, the judges decided which acts to keep and which to eliminate. The number of acts was reduced to 70: 21 girls, 22 boys, 12 over-28s and 15 groups.[63] The following day, the remaining acts each performed one song for the judges in front of a live audience, and the day after, the judges decided which acts to put through to judges' houses. They could not decide between groups Triple J and GMD3, so had them each perform again before making a final decision.[59]

Judges' houses and wildcards

The judges received news of their categories from Simon Cowell by telephone, seen during the second bootcamp episode on 23 September.[59][64] Scherzinger mentored the Boys in Dubai, assisted by R&B star Ne-Yo; Contostavlos took the Girls to Saint Lucia with Tinie Tempah, Barlow had the over 28s in London, and Walsh had the Groups in Las Vegas, with former The X Factor judge Sharon Osbourne.[65] Barlow was reportedly originally planning to go to Majorca, but changed to London so that he could be close to his wife after the death of their baby. Barlow was rumoured to be joined by Robbie Williams,[66] but instead his judges' houses took place at Boughton House in Northamptonshire with former judge Cheryl Cole.[67][68][69] Her arrival was surrounded in secrecy; contestants had their phones removed and Cole was hidden under a tablecloth, so that contestants could not see her sitting next to Barlow.[67]

Rough Copy were originally put through to judges' houses, but were withdrawn from the contest after getting through bootcamp because group member Kazeem Ajobo had a visa application which was being considered by the UK Border Agency. There had been fears that if he travelled abroad during the judges' houses stage, the Nigerian-born 23-year-old from south London, may struggle to re-enter the UK. They were replaced by Times Red and Union J (originally known as Triple J).[70][71] The judges' houses round was broadcast on 29 and 30 September 2012.[72][73]

Summary of judges' houses
Judge Category Location Assistant Contestants eliminated[73]
Barlow Over 28s Boughton House, Northamptonshire Cheryl Cole Nicola Marie, Brad Shackleton, Christopher Maloney
Contostavlos Girls Saint Lucia Tinie Tempah Amy Mottram, Jade Collins, Leanne Robinson
Scherzinger Boys Dubai Ne-Yo Nathan Fagan-Gayle, Adam Burridge, Jake Quickenden
Walsh Groups Las Vegas Sharon Osbourne Mitsotu, Duke, Poisonous Twin, Times Red

At the end of judges' houses, it was announced that each judge could bring back one further act back as a wildcard. The public then voted for which of the four wildcards would become the thirteenth finalist.[73] This left one judge with an extra act.[74] Scherzinger chose Adam Burridge, Contostavlos chose Amy Mottram, Barlow chose Christopher Maloney and Walsh chose Times Red.[73] The winner was revealed on the first live show on 6 October 2012.

Controversy

During the first auditions episode, broadcast on 18 August, one of the auditionees in Cardiff, Zoe Alexander, a Pink tribute singer, tried to "smash" equipment after arguing with the judges about her claim that she was told to sing a Pink song after she sang "So What". Barlow asked her to sing a second song, which was "Next to Me" by Emeli Sandé. After being criticised and given a "no", Alexander threw down her microphone as she left the stage. Her father brought her back to the stage where she swore at the judges. She then stormed backstage, hit a camera operator, continued swearing and, when the cameras were turned off, hit a female producer of the show. Alexander was later cautioned by the police.[106] Alexander later claimed that her voice had been Auto-Tuned for the broadcast. Executive producer Richard Holloway said that every auditionee had a choice of five songs, adding: "All the contestants that go in front of the judges, they're all spoken to by the production team as they have to get all the tracks to play so the conversation takes place between them and us about what they want to sing and they go through their choices and the final decision about what they are going to sing when they walk on the stage is theirs, 100% theirs."[107]

Ofcom received 35 complaints about Alison Brunton's audition (in which she performed "The Edge of Glory" while her children, aged 14 and 16, watched from backstage) from people concerned about the impact on the teenagers. The broadcasting code states that under-18s must not be "caused unnecessary distress or anxiety by their involvement in programmes". O'Leary asked the children if they would be teased at school, to which Brunton's son said, "I'm never going to hear the end of this," though smiling at the time. An ITV spokeswoman said: "The X Factor does not include child contestants but takes the welfare of any children featured in the show very seriously. It is a well-established format and contestants regularly bring along their family to support them, as Alison did. Footage of family members is only used when appropriate consent has been obtained." Ofcom also received 34 complaints about Lorna Bliss's audition, a Britney Spears impersonator who wore a body stocking, to see if the programme broke guidelines on taste and decency. Bliss gave Walsh a lapdance and chased Barlow through the studio during her performance. The spokeswoman stated: "Lorna's performance and its editing was carefully considered by the producers and ITV. We do not believe her routine exceeded generally accepted standards or the expectations of the vast majority of the audience."[108]
