Season chronology

The third Season of X Factor started on 25 August 2012. The auditions were held in April/May 2012. The show was broadcast every Sunday. The judges were Sarah Connor, H.P. Baxxter, Sandra Nasic and Moses Pelham. In October 2012 Connor announced that she would not return to the judging panel for the Fourth Season.

There were four phases: 1. Auditions 2. Bootcamp 3. Judge's House 4. Live Shows

This year twelve acts had been a part of the live shows, but not in 3 categories like the two seasons before. In season 3 there were four categories. This year only the viewers voted who will go through. There wouldn't be a final showdown. The Live shows were cut to four, instead of eight.
