Where Would You Place On "The X Factor" UK?

Initial stages part 1

Initial stages part 2

Which Judge are you looking to impress the most?

Initial stages part 3

You enter as a duo act with your best friend. The judges love you, but they're not so keen on your friend. They ask you to try the audition again but this time, alone. Do you:

Boot camp part 1

You've made it this far, but the judges comments indicate that they're losing faith in you. What do you do to convince them to keep you here?

Bootcamp part 2

You managed to convince the judges to let you stay on, but they think you're more suited to being placed in a band along with 4 other hopefuls. What do you think?

Bootcamp part 3

Judges houses part 1

Your audition is over and you're sat with your mentor, waiting to hear your fate. After giving you your personalised advice and critique, your mentor looks you in the eye and says "I'm so sorry...."
Honestly - what are you expecting to hear?

Judges houses part 2

This is it, your first live performance. 
Now that you're in show business, there are a few little adjustments that need to be made to your image. It's time for a make-over! How do you feel about it?

The Live Shows part 1

You forget your words one week and end up in the bottom two. What kind of song do you go for in the sing-off?

Live shows part 2

you've made it to the final and you're gonna get to share the stage with an artist that's inspired you! ...Who is that again?

Live shows part 3

The X Factor? You only acknowledge this smear on humanity to keep somewhat abreast of just how low the media and it's followers are prepared to go. You don't subscribe to contrived, superficial trash TV, couldn't name even one of the judges and you are genuinely concerned about the capacity these kind of shows have to deplete brain cells. You only did this quiz to see how deluded the person who made it was and you're releived to have gotten this result

Not interested.

You did not win the X factor. Then again, you didn't audition. The X factor, to you, is weekend entertainment. You watch, you curse, you laugh, you cry, you pick your favourites and you do it all from the comfort of your own living room. No commitment. You even record it and fast forward the adverts. Trash TV at it's most adaptable.

I just came for the best bits.

Eeeeesh, awks. Looks like you've made the final, but only after being knocked out in the first round and asked back for the sole purpose of being paraded around like a circus freak while the audience enjoy a nostaligic laugh over the "Worst auditions" showreel. You went into this hoping for world stardom but at this point, you'll take what you can get.

Stooge.

You can hold a tune. You scrub up alright... you had SOMETHING, that's for sure. Sadly for you, the judges were ultimately unsure what to do with you as your personal vision and strength of mind is not necessarily considered marketable. All hope is not lost, however. Spend the next year showing your devotion to the church of X. Get on the treadmill, dye your hair, draw a sob story from everyday circumstances. Do anything you can to make sure that when you inevitably re-appear next year, the Judges can envision the whole package and remember - comebacks make good TV!
Additional: Practicing your vocals COULD be beneficial, but is by no means essential.

Didn't make the live show.

You made the live shows by the skin of your teeth. 
You have a gimick, the judges kept you around to entertain, and entertain them you did. You showcased a very endearing ability not to take yourself too seriously and people like that. It doesn't sell records, but if you strike while the iron is hot, there's a celebrity magazine article and a novelty single in it for you!

The Underdog

You've got a voice. There's no denying it, you can sing your heart out and bring the house down. unfortunately, after a few tries and fails, the X factor producers have learned that a run-of-the-mill, everyday individual with ninja pipes does not a cash cow make. You made the final but only so as not to discredit the judges' ability to spot a talented singer. If your experience on the show has managed not to extinguish your desire for fame, your action plan is to get the tour out of the way and take a couple of years to write a REALLY good album. See you in 2016!

The peoples favourite.

You may not have been allowed to release the pre-decided cover single in time for christmas number 1, but make no mistake about it, you are well on your way, my friend. You have shown more than enough promise to the judges. You are an adaptable, mouldable, exploitable young starlet destined to light up charts and headlines alike. Easy on the eye and far enough through the X factor process to have learned all that is necessary about performance and contrived scandall, you are an exceptionally marketable product and guaranteed more success than the winning contestant. Sold!

The (secret) Winner

Through hard work, blood, sweat, tears, ups downs, praise and adversity you have vocally wrestled the other contestants for the winning votes and come first in the competition! You are on top of the world! Coming first on a show like the X factor does not guarantee your success, however, and it's going to take a shrewd business mind along with street smarts and - above all - talent to keep you ahead of the game at this stage. If you don't want your Christmas cover and the tour to be the last anyone hears of you, you need to start putting together a solidly marketable package but you already knew that, right?

The winner! 

Having experienced the circus that is the X factor, showcasing your incredible style and placing 3rd, you have realised that your desire to audition in the first place can only be attributed to temporary insanity. Thank your lucky stars that you are not tied in to a contract! You appreciated the craic, but you got an insight into the inner workings of the media and you're not so sure you liked it. You're an artist, not a puppet. Take a year to travel for cultural and musical inspiration then work at achieving slower burning but more enduring credibility through your undeniable raw talent. you express yourself from the soul, so you'd do well to hang on to it!

Too real for "reality" TV.
