X Factor Adria, usually referred simply as X Faktor, is a Balkan production of international talent show franchise of The X Factor. The Adria edition of the show covers Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia and as of Season 2 Croatia as well, making the show regional. The 2nd Season is hosted by Antonija Blaće, Aleksandar Radojičić and Snezana Velkov. Like the original British version of the show, X Factor Adria is a music competition to find new singing talent, contested by aspiring singers drawn from public auditions.
The show consists of several phases: auditions, bootcamp, judge's houses and live shows. During the auditions and bootcamp, judges as a group decide on the fate of the contestants with a majority vote. After the bootcamp, acts are split in different groups and one of the judges is assigned to mentor each of the acts in the group. During the judge's houses stage judges are accompanied with guest judges and they choose the acts from their category who they want to take to the live shows. Live shows are the final stage of the competition and the first stage where public get their say by voing to keep their favourite in and eventually win.
The first part of the selection process are the auditions. Potential contestants apply for a place at the auditions either online or via text message. Those invited to the auditions perform in front of the producers before some are selected to audition in front of the judges. Producers' auditions are sometimes referred to as pre-auditions.
The first series also featured a mobile video booth where people could audition without previously applying. The booth was set up on the grounds of Petrovaradin Fortress during the Exit festival.
After the pre-auditions, producers call back the acts they want to perform in front of the judges. The judges auditions are the first part of the series that is broadcast. During the auditions, acts introduce themselves and perform in front of the judges. After an act performs, the judges give feedback and vote. Acts need three or four "yes-es" to get through to the next stage of the competition - Bootcamp.
