Format
Categories
The show is primarily concerned with identifying singing talent, though appearance, personality, stage presence and dance routines are also an important element of many performances. Each judge is assigned one of four categories: "Boys" (aged 16–24 males), "Girls" (aged 16–24 females), "Over 25s" (solo acts aged 25 and over), and "Groups" (including duos). Through the live shows, the judges act as mentors to their category, helping to decide song choices, styling and staging, while judging contestants from other categories.
Stages
There are five stages to the competition:
* Stage 1: Producers' auditions (these auditions decide who will sing in front of the judges)
* Stage 2: Judges' auditions
* Stage 3: Boot camp
* Stage 4: Four-chair challenge
* Stage 5: Live shows (finals)
