X Factor is a Danish television music competition to find new singing talent. The fifth season premiered on January 1, 2012 on DR1 and ended on March 23, 2012 at Jyske Bank Boxen. Lise Rønne returned for her fourth season as host. Thomas Blachman, Pernille Rosendahl and Cutfather returned for their respective fourth, third and second seasons.
On September 12, 2011, it was announced that Thomas Blachman, Pernille Rosendahl and Cutfather would all be returning as judges for season 5, along with Lise Rønne as host.
Auditions took place in Copenhagen and Århus.
Cutfather was given the Over 25s category, Rosendahl was given the 15-24s and Blachman was given the Groups.
Cutfather was assisted by Kato in choosing his final three in the Over 25s category for the live shows; Rosendahl was assisted by Mattias Kolstrup in choosing her final three in the 15-24s category; and Blachman was assisted in chossing his final three in the Groups category by Dicte.
The live shows started on February 10, 2012 at DR Byen.
Contestants' colour key:
In week 4, Blachman voted against his own act and Cutfather didn't have to vote, but he later said that he would have voted against Tandberg & Østenby.
There was no elimination this week due to Nicoline Simone & Jean Michel withdrawing for personal reasons. All votes from this week were moved forward to the next week.
The semi-final did not feature a final showdown and instead the act with the fewest public votes, Morten Benjamin, was automatically eliminated.
