【X音素】
独立制作版本
《X音素》（The X Factor）是一个在英国开始举办的真人选秀节目，它最初是作为《流行偶像》的替代节目而出现。这是一个歌唱节目，目前在全球许多国家都有自己的版本。这个节目将参赛选手分组，并互相对抗来决出最后的冠军。参赛者大多是抱著成为流行歌手的目的参与节目的选拔。该节目由执行制作人西蒙·考威尔和他的公司制作而成。“X音素”的含义是代表某种明星具备的气质。该节目的奖励通常是一份唱片合约，此外还包括后期的一系列的宣传推广活动。该奖励并不只针对冠军一人，有时也包括其他获得较高排名的选手。
这种选秀模式的原创者是西蒙·考威尔，他同时也是《英国版X音素》和《美国版X音素》的评委和导师。“X音素”系列节目迄今最成功的选手是《英国版X音素》第三季冠军利昂娜·刘易斯。截止到2011年12月，全球“X音素”系列节目合计推出了59名冠军。最近的一个冠军是《美国版X音素》的梅拉尼·阿玛罗。
许多国家的电视台，特别是斯堪的纳维亚地区的电视台对《英国版X音素》都十分有兴趣，希望能购买播映权。但是根据英国的法律规定，《英国版X音素》仅能在英国和爱尔兰播出。目前《英国版X音素》已经完成第八季的选秀。
与“偶像”系列节目不同的是，“X音素”系列节目的评委不仅仅是评委，他们同时还是某一个特定组别选手的导师，负责该组选手的选歌、造型和舞蹈设计。

== 纠纷和争议 ==
“X音素”系列节目与“偶像”系列节目的相似性促使“偶像”系列节目的著作权人西蒙·富勒（）及其公司19娱乐（）在2004年对西蒙·考威尔、和lang|en|弗里曼特尔传媒提起诉讼。但是很快双方便在2005年达成了庭外和解。根据和解协议，西蒙·富勒获得了“X音素”系列节目一个执行制作人的身份，同时拥有该节目10%的版权，并且商定在2011年前，不得在美国引进“X音素”系列节目。 在2011年西蒙·考威尔、和福克斯广播公司达成制作《美国版X音素》的协议后，西蒙·富勒以未能履行其执行制片人身份为由再次起诉上述三家公司。
