Sony TV's X factor Judges reveal the X factor in their contestants...

Sony TV's X- FACTOR India has already got its 12 finalists and the actual war to prove their X FACTOR will go on the floor from this weekend. Each mentor has been allotted with a team to look for and to guide them to prove their X FACTOR.

Where Shreya Ghoshal has been gifted with participants of 25 years of age and above, Sonu Nigam will have to handle contestants who are below 25 years and Sanjay Leela Bhansali will have to handle the maximum number of contestants as he is in charge of teams. With this the mentors found some X FACTORS in their participants.

Here is a small glimpse...

Shreya Ghoshal's has a mixed bag of contestants. Manjeera Ganguly who is an aspiring singer is believed to be 'Pitch Perfect', Amit Jadav whose inspiration is in MJ and Prabhudeva can be described as a 'Perfect Rockstar', Geet Sagar has the X FACTOR to 'connect to the audience' as she has been an RJ earlier and finally Shreya has Kartar Singh, an icon himself; the 63 years old man who takes up everything with a smile and is an 'Ultimate Surprise'.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali has the sumptuous amount of singers under him and he leads four different teams. Sanjay's Last Minute group comprises of 16 years old girls who have 'Innocence' as their X Factor. The second possession is his Nirmitee Group with just four students who have their own 'Madness' and Individuality. Sajda consists of the trio sisters who have no prior training in music but got the will power for 'Hardwork' and brilliant renditions that made them the single group that received standing ovation from the three judges. And finally he has Deewane group which has the experience of giving great shows with their 'Divine Voice'.

Sonu Nigam has to train the youngest of the singers in the show and he has Piyush Kapoor who has the 'Contemporary Style' in his performance which will make the audience go 'Wow'. Shovon Ganguly is another asset who has a gift of trained voice and 'Sincerity'. Sahiti has the Indian Voice in her that gives her the professional touch and makes her a 'Playback Singer'. And finally Sonu has Seema Jha, a package that includes melodious voice with a Dabangg nature, a 'Contrast Personality'.

With this, mentors have surely identified the X Factor in contestants and now its time for for India to judge!

As we had updated you, Sony TV's 'X Factor' is through with all its auditions and is ready with its top 12 participants.

Now that the teams were divided, the show was all set to cater its gala round before the audience on June 10. However, it has encountered an unexpected change. We have heard that one of the participants from Shreya Ghoshal's team backed out citing some personal reasons. But the good part is that the channel and creative team of the show has succeeded in getting a replacement.

As per a source, "Contestant Mona Shevade backed out at the last moment. She was selected in the final twelve and was part of Shreya Ghoshal's team. But she had some personal problems due to which she had to back out. She is married and has kids and getting involved in the show would have distanced her from the kids. She has therefore been replaced by a 63 year old retired government officer whose name is Kartar Singh. He is a surprise for the upcoming episode and is the eldest participant on the show."

Well, as we say Old is Gold, hope Kartar ji manages to outshine all and prove this saying true once again.
