What's the eligibility requirements for The X Factor auditions?
Well, you need to check at The X Factor official website http://xfactor.itv.com as they can change without notice or from series to series.
Generally the qualifications for The X Factor are (but again...CHECK THE OFFICIAL WEBSITE. I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY MISSED CHANCES AT MEGASTARDOM!!):
1. You have to be a resident of the United Kingdom with a valid passport.
2. They have different age requirements, it used to be 14 years of age, but I think it's now 16. And if you're under 18 you need the signed permission of a guardian/parent. If you belong to a band/group, each parent/guardian will need to sign for each member
3. You can't be employed by ITV, Fremantle (the producers) or related companies etc
4. You have to tell the production company if you have any criminal or civil actions against you or in process or if you've been in prison or had any convictions. And generally you can't tell any porkie pies on your form.
You can either fill in an application form online or download the form and send it into them. But you can also turn up at the auditions without a form too.
As for the X Factor application form itself, it's short and sweet, just your contact details, photo, name, age, usual stuff. Plus your preferred city for the auditions (London, Birmingham etc) And then tick yes or no if you've auditioned for The X Factor before and if you're a solo artist/group. The trickiest part is filling out a couple lines "describe yourself/your group in ten words". And "why should we pick you" Pretty simple stuff, would probably take around 20 minutes to fill in...not bad for a chance at SUPER-MEGA-WHOPPER-STARDOM wouldn't you say?
(well maybe not quite guaranteed SUPER-MEGA-WHOPPER-STARDOM, read the post about what the first X Factor winner Steve Brookstein is doing now. But then again, read this post about how much big coinage that Simon Cowell whatshisname dude is earning)
As always, good luck, we are totally rootin' tootin' for ya, and just DO IT!

The X Factor Auditions! Calling all bands, singers and would-be popstars!
Here is a reminder of the auditions for series 2010 of The X Factor! Be the new Joe McElderry or JLS!
You can simply turn up to the venues on the dates specified. You don't need to have applied beforehand, just show up...what do you have to lose (...your dignity, your precious time...nevermind)
And don't think because thousands and thousands of people will be there, there's no point in your showing up. ITV say that you will get a chance to audition unless the capacity for the venue is maxed out, but since they picked huge venues, you stand every chance. No excuses now!
The London Auditions for The X Factor UK are on Saturday 1st May 2010 and Sunday 2nd May 2010. Venue: Excell
The weather forecast is cloudy with rain, so The X Factor team want to remind you to bring along your waterproof jackets, warm clothes and umbrellas since they expect large line ups.
They advise NOT to travel by car since there will be limited parking in the area. As for public transport, you can take the DLR line and get off at Prince Regent station.
The Birmingham Auditions for The X Factor UK are on Saturday 24th April 2010 at the enormous LG Arena.
For the Dublin X Factor auditions, you will have to be at Croke Park on Saturday 15th May 2010.
Good luck to all you auditionees, we are rooting for ya and look forward to seeing you on the actual X Factor 2010 show!
