The X Factor is a British television music competition to find new singing talent. The fifth series was broadcast on ITV from 16 August 2008 until 13 December 2008. Dermot O'Leary returned to present the main show on ITV, while Fearne Cotton was replaced by Holly Willoughby as presenter of spin-off show The Xtra Factor on ITV2. Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh and Dannii Minogue returned to the judging panel. Sharon Osbourne left after four series and was replaced by Cheryl Cole. The fifth series was won by Alexandra Burke, with Cole emerging as the winning mentor. Auditions in front of producers were held in April/May, with callbacks in front of the judges in June. The number of applicants for series 5 reached an all-time high with a reported 182,000 people auditioning. A number of well-established music acts from around the world, such as Beyoncé, Mariah Carey, Britney Spears, Girls Aloud, Take That, Il Divo, and series 3 winner Leona Lewis performed during the live stages of the show.
The X Factor is a British reality television music competition to find new singing talent, contested by aspiring singers drawn from public auditions. Created by Simon Cowell, the show began in 2004 and has since aired annually from August/September until December. The show is produced by FremantleMedia's Thames (previously Talkback Thames) and Cowell's production company Syco TV. It is broadcast on the ITV network in the United Kingdom and simulcast on TV3 in Ireland. The "X Factor" refers to the undefinable "something" that makes for star quality.
The show is currently presented by Olly Murs and Caroline Flack. The series consists of auditions, bootcamp, judges' houses, several weeks of live shows, semi-finals and the final. After the show's success, it then became an international franchise following a similar format. The series has a spin-off behind-the-scenes show called The Xtra Factor, which airs directly after the main show on ITV2.
History
The X Factor was created by Sony Music A&R judge Simon Cowell as a replacement for Pop Idol. Cowell, who was a judge on Pop Idol, wished to launch a show to which he owned the television rights.Pop Idol's first series was massively successful, and while the second series was also successful, the viewing figures for its finale dropped. Some—including Cowell's fellow Pop Idol judge Pete Waterman— considered Michelle McManus an unworthy winner. In 2004, ITV announced a new show created by Cowell, with no involvement from Pop Idol creator Simon Fuller—The X Factor. The perceived similarity between the two shows later became the subject of a legal dispute.
The X Factor is a British television music competition to find new singing talent. The eleventh series began airing on ITV on 30 August 2014.Dermot O'Leary presents his eighth and final series of the main show on ITV and Sarah-Jane Crawford presents spin-off show The Xtra Factor on ITV2, replacing Caroline Flack and Matt Richardson. Louis Walsh was the only judge from series 10 to return and was joined by former judges Simon Cowell, and Cheryl Fernandez-Versini, and new judge Mel B. Sharon Osbourne, Gary Barlow and Nicole Scherzinger left after series 10. Former judge Tulisa returned as a guest judge for the final on 13 December due to Mel B being ill. The series also saw the lower age limit decreased from 16 to 14, as it was in series 4 and 5. This was Walsh's final series as a judge. It was also the only series in which Mel B was a main judge. It was O'Leary's final series as presenter on the main show, as he announced on 27 March 2015 that he was leaving to pursue other projects. On 11 May, Crawford also confirmed via Twitter that she would leave her position as The Xtra Factor presenter.

Чакам вече 5 минути и от яд направо се пукам. Радвай се, че ту те няма в този миг до мен. Не е гот така да лъжеш, кавалер си джъжен да бъдеш. Не прощавам аз измами запомни това. Може би ти си забравил някой те бави. Може би си правиш просто с мен шега. Може би се забавляваш, може би ме разиграваш, ала внимавай ти сега. Вече четвърт час те чакам и от нерви с токче потракам. Ще ти струва знай солено този ден помни. Ти съвсем не си единствен, що ще дойдат само да искам. Не прощавам аз измами, запомни това. Може би ти си забравил някой те бави. Може би си правиш просто с мен шега. Може би се забавляваш, може би ме разиграваш, ала внимавай ти сега. Но защо ли се нервирам и те чакам аз не разбирам. Стоиш ти щастливо, нявярно ти щастливо в своя дом сега. И защото аз съм дама, ще ти пратя аз телеграма, че със друг сега отивам на купон в нощта. Може би ти си забравил някой те бави. Може би си правиш просто с мен шега. Може би се забавляваш, може би ме разиграваш, ала внимавай ти сега.
