Xfactor Auditions 2009 producer rounds - how they work

[Mudsville1]

to those who failed in level 1,2, and 3 will not expect any call from the producers of the x factor philippines. also the waiting duration for the auditionees who have passed all 3 levels of screening of the producers round of audition to call them will be from 2 months after their audition or after all the producers round of audition cities from one season is finished

[Mudsville1]

then in the level 3 screening of the producers round of audition, the auditionees will sing in front of 6 people consisting of 3 staffs and 3 executive producers with a vtr camera in front of you, you will also use a minus one cd and a microphone in level 3, once the auditionee passed level3, the auditionee will have to wait for a call from the producers

[Mudsville1]

then after the level 1 screening of the producers round of audition, you'll be headed through the level 2 screening of the producers round of audition. In level 2 you will sing in a room in front of the x factor staff using minus one music cd and a microphone, once you passed level 2 screening of the producers round of audition, you will be headed through the level 3 screening of the producers round of audition

[Mudsville1]

I don't know if the x factor uk and the x factor philippines has similar kind of producers round of audition, but here in the philippines, the producers round of audition in the philippine franchise of the x factor has three levels of screening, the level 1 screening consists of 40 black booths where the auditionee will sing as acapella in front of the staff of the x factor in a booth with no microphone or mic

Any audition you go to is just like that! they JUDGE it is there job to be able to sell YOU! that is how people in the music industry work, it is about stories, personality, and talent. Have none of you ever auditioned for anything. JUDGES are mean that is what they are supposed to do. Find the best person to fit the part. They know what sells and if you dont have it well SORRY you go home!

[sextonlee]

talent and a lil luck needed..How else they gona do it..The v good and the v ridiculous make it thru..Makes for good TV

[sextonlee]

Talent and a lil luck neede also..How else they gona do it ???

[jadoreux]

Also you sound a little... No a LOT bitter. Is this about everyone or just because you didn't?

[jadoreux]

Anyone who auditions is naive at best to believe anything less. Why else would simon and the producers pour millions and millions of pounds into it. It'd be boring otherwise

[msalxo8]

I just want to say that this is a business. You can be talented, but at the end of the day, if you don't appeal to a crowd, whether it be style of music, style of clothing, personality, or so on, then it's not worth it to put that person through. That's why the producers are first. I don't know if you know this, but the producers have the most say out of any one. It is their money, and everything else. They arent going to put someone through if they don't have appeal to anyone.

[DylaanWaalsh]

LOOK at the end of the day, it is a show, you need sob storys, and funny acts. ok so some of the talented people go home but MOST go threw like they cant get every single person right.. 

[kikichoo123]

AGREED

[ILoveMinnimoo]

I agree! i went to the auditions yesterday - and they were whispering as I was singing and were so patronising - spiderman got through and karate woman got through and some other idiot .. but no talented people got through!!.it is ridiculous - a definate fix!

[shortchris1995]

this is totally true

the x factor is reality tv so u hav to make them money with a story

[dermotm9]

btw sony knew who leona lewis was before x factor and she was told to come to the auditions. the whole show was geared for her to win from day 1. its not tht she can sing ANY song...she was just given perfect songs. btw th judges pick the songs for you, you dont have a say

[ILoveMinnimoo]

I had a funny feeling that Simon knew her before the X factor... it slipped out last year when simon said when I met you "all those years ago" I was like... but you've only known her for 2 years... but she can sing though

[dcbounce]

You'd have more credibility if you sang on the video and showed us why you deserved to make it past the producers...

that is what this is about, isn't it?

[sports12pro]

@dcbounce go check out laura broad she auditioned and got nowhere.. even though she is one of the most talented musicians on here

[WorldPressReleases]

i fully agree with you, im going to be ridiculously rubbish on purpose next year until i get through to the judges, have 2 b smart cus the producers are twats!

[comedyguy008]

Also i auditioned this year for X factor i was one of the funny acts that cant admittedly sing and i was dressed up. and i got through to see the judges. Im not gonna ruin it for you who i was but ill tell you all the contestant i was when i come on telly.

[jojojulia1]

cool ! the've all been shown now, so, who were you?? x

[comedyguy008]

I was the guy dressed up as MC Hammer aka GWS! the guy who sang "Cant Touch This"! I only auditioned for a laugh and im gonna go again next year just to wind misery guts Simon up

[jojojulia1]

cool. what show, week one, 2, 3 ?? I cant find you on youtube .

[comedyguy008]

I was on week 3 and you could put in gws youtube and youll find me

[jojojulia1]

cl, thnx x

[comedyguy008]

I dont mean any offence here but if X factor didnt put on comedy contestants and contestants with sob stories it would be rather boring. That is 1 reason how X factor has been so entertaining over the years its just funny seeing the crap acts and you feel sorry for the sob story people even if they cant sing. Besides i dont think they would want too many people who are real good singers as it would be much harder for them and the judges to decide which acts would make it through to the finals.

[ivorobicjr]

it's all true what you wrote!

[drewchanuchiha]

I like a lot of people only watch the show to laugh at the bad people.

If people really been told that they have that much talent, then maybe they should send a tape or something into a proper producer, rather than placing their bets on a tv show..

[iammurda83]

its the wedding one under kayleighs singing cheers forgot to put that

[iammurda83]

my sister went for auduttion to she got past two lots f producers to be turned away she is on here singing go listen to the talent that they turn away its a joke not to say the least she comes under kayleigh singing the whole thing is a joke pure talent gets turned away im glad your doing this to

[Bukuroshi98]

you now what back a couple of months ago my friend was auditioning they said she was really good but she doesn't make good tv because she is very serous about her dream and i went to support her so when i heard what the producers said i was like im sorry but this is a singing competition not a bloody personality contest and fair enough i understand what they said but my friend was lovely and funny bubbly not annoying and very thoughtful of others. What more could they possibly want-perfectness.

[roquevah]

sorry, I meant to write that I did the May 5 and may FIFTEEN (NOT 6!!!!) auditions!!! Then I got to sing in front of Simon Cowell & Co. last Monday June 22nd.

[roquevah]

FAB,FAB,FAB!thank you so much!i GOT THRU THE FIRST3 AUDITIONS AND EVEN GOT HUGE COMPLIMENTS!bUT i SAW HOW IT WORKS AND WE ARE JUST CATTLE BEING USED AND EXPLOITED TO MAKE THE SHOW LOOK GOOD!!i'M A CLASSICALLY TRAINED TENOR AND people tell me all the time they get goose bumps when I sing and yet the celebrity judges ridculed me a bit! I think I'm the only Italian who sang in front of them.GIANNI ROCCHETTA.A ur EXHAUSTED when you get b4 'em so you sing worse!!

[roquevah]

FAB,FAB,FAB!! I did the May 5 e May 6 auditions and then sang b4 the celeb judges!Well,was sent home and a litttle ridiculed.I'ma classically trained tenor and on May 5 even some auditioness applauded when I sang e the producer said I was the HIGHLIGHT of her day at 7,40 pm!But they DON'T care about the talent.Only about the money e the ratings!There's no bitterness in my words,believe me.I have simply been there!!We are just CATTLE to make the show look good!!

[dazzmiller]

What do you propose should be the correct process then? I'm interested to hear what you think they should do instead.

[alexmccormack]

You wouldn't happen to be that Welsh lady in the video this is in response to, would you?

[melissasecci77]

I am glad someone is starting to do something like this.

My sister is been there for an audition, everybody who knows her and heard her singing thought she would easily get trough the next stage.....she is amazing, every time you listen her singing you get gous bump, but as you said, real talented people don't get trough!!!

Its disgusting!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you making this video.

[kingeddy113]

i totally agree! good on you for making this!
