X Factor Live 2010 Tour Dates

Another round of popstar hopefuls compete in the UK's biggest talent search. Judged on appearance, personality, stage presence and dance routines by Simon Cowell, Cheryl Cole, Danni Minogue and Louis Walsh, the contestants are whittled down one by one each week by public vote often enduring a barrage of abuse from the judges in the process. The prize for the winner is a £1million record deal and an enormous amount of press coverage with the show becoming more popular each year.
