Format
Auditions
The auditions take place in front of the judges and a live audience at different cities across the Romania. Unlike on X Factor, at any time during the audition, the judges may show disapproval to the act by pressing a buzzer which lights a large red "X" on the stage, indicating that they particularly dislike the act and do not wish the performance to continue. If all the judges press their buzzers, the act must end immediately.
Callbacks
After the auditions, the judges have to whittle almost 200 successful acts down to just 48 (series 1), 60 (series 2 ). All of the performers are called back to discover if they have progressed to the live semi-finals.
