I like dis format

select two bottom contestants from audience votes

and then judges eliminate one contestant from them

dis is called fair competition...bcoz no good singers will be eliminated

i dont like Indian idol's format where only audience decide who will eliminated...

judges do nothing..only gives comments

so i think X factor's format is perfect👍🏼

wat do u think?😊which format is better?

Yaah actually I also approve of this format. As it gives an opportunity for the bottom to 2 contestants to prove themselves. According to me the format should continue till top5.

I'm really confused about the format now after watching the result episode! 😕 Its good in a sense that judges will decide whom to keep..Its normal that judges will support their own team, they'll vote for them...So Among 3 judges, one will be the factor! & if 2 contestants from the same team will come in to the bottom 2 then?? and to judge Group Vs Solo is simply 😕 but i think they should give number's Rather then saying yes or no! So the avg. will be the final decision.. but still its up to the audience...They will decide the bottom 2!! Whatever it is Singer's like Manjeera's elimination hurts!! 😔

I definitely like the idea of the judges having the final say in who goes out. In other singing shows (e.g. SRGMP and SVOI), the judges always end up complaining that the audience don't listen to their comments, which are meant to aid the voters' decisions. So I'm glad that the judges, who are clearly more learned than us in this field, can ensure, to some degree at least, that deserving contestants do not go out purely because they're not popular enough.

But as fzohora says, the way the teams have been split (according to age and individual/group) is not the best format. With this format, you're not comparing the mentors (which I believe is the whole point of the teams), but instead, you're comparing whether group performances are better than individuals, and whether one age group is better than the other.

So I guess, though there are some aspects of the show's format that I wholeheartedly agree with, I think there's room for improvement in other aspects of it. But seeing as this is India's first season of X Factor, there are bound to be things that need ironing out, and I'm sure these issues will be sorted out in following seasons.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. The judges on shows like SVOI get frustrated because they don't have a say in who goes out after the votes come in. And that's why I think X Factor has a better format.

I don't understand the format at all. How on earth do you compare groups to individual singers? Each team should've had one of each, and then they should've competed against one another. Or they could've had groups go on 1 day, under 25 another and so on. But yes, I do like the concept you're talking about.
