The second set of hopefuls audition in front of the judges in a closed room enviroment hoping to gain a place in the next phase of the competition where they will have to perform at Wembley Arena in front of a live audience. Stevi Richie, Linzi Martin, Chloe Thwala, Helen Fulthorpe, Michelle Lawson, Only The Young, Concept, Oceane Guyot, Jummy Cheun, Jan Chichorz, and Andrea Faustini are amongst those hoping to impress tonight.
Each X Factor judge is in charge of a different section of singers on the show. The judges do not know what section of the competition they will be in charge of until the audition process has finished. Each judge then has to pick four acts to take forward to the live section of the show. Each week the two acts with the lowest amount of public votes have to sing again in a final showdown after which the judges decide who should be eliminated. Once there are only five acts left remaining it becomes left to the public to decide who should go.
