Factor X Chile is a television show, adapted from the original UK show as part of The X Factor franchise. The auditions were in January 2011. The first season of the Chilean version was premiered on television in March 3, 2011. It will be hosted by Julian Elfenbein, the same host of the other recent successful talent show Talento Chileno, the Chilean versión of the Got Talent franchise. It is the second version of this format made in Latin America, but the first to meet the new requirements of the franchise in the level of production. The judges for the first series of the show are Zeta Bosio, Karen Doggenweiler, and Tito Beltrán, with various guest judges. The first season aired on Thursday and Sunday, starting on March 3, 2011 in TVN.
The format used is based on the original idea of Simon Cowell. The judging panel consists of three judges who know the musical and artistic environment will mentor and train the participants alongside guest artists. Soloists, duos, trios or groups can take part. The winner will get a contract with a record label to record and produce their debut album, in addition to obtaining a cash award.
There are five stages to Factor X competition:
Season 1 Under 25s Over 25s Groups
Season 2 Girls Boys Over 25s Groups
