And that's just the judges. They'll face the hard task of choosing their ten acts to take to the live finals. The Talent: Bigger and better than ever before. The Judges: Even more hungry for a win.

PERFORMANCES
In the first show, each of the 40 acts performs once in the first show in front of a studio audience and the judges, artists usually sing over a pre-recorded backing track. Bands are also commonly featured. Acts occasionally accompany themselves on guitar or piano.
Performers can choose a song that reflects their strongest talent. Artists are free to present the performance however they want, including the performer playing live instruments, or the addition of choirs, backing bands, and backup singers. In the second show, 20 artists will perform but for the remaining 10 artists after they have been selected to perform for the finale, the judges will comment on their performance. Artists will receive advice and suggestions from judges on what their finale show include. Intense disagreements, usually involving judges shielding their contestants against condemnation, are a regular feature of the show. Now, for the Showdown each act performs twice in the grand finale which decides the overall winner.
RESULTS
Before the results are announced, there are live performances from one or more invited celebrities from DEF JAM Records. Now the judges VOTE. In the event of a tie the show goes to deadlock, and the last two acts remain may perform for the title. The winner of the competition is awarded a £1 million recording contract with DEF JAM. This deal consist of a $150,000 cash advance with the balance covering the costs of recording and marketing. Other highly placed contestants may also be offered recording deals, but this is not guaranteed.
