Series 1 (2005)
The Belgian edition of X Factor started screening in late 2005 on vtm. The judges were Kris Wauters, Jean Blaute and Liliane Saint-Pierre; the series was hosted by Koen Wauters.
The winner of season one was Udo Mechels from Nossegem and the runner up was The Cappaert Sisters (Annelies & Sarah Cappaert) from Tongeren. Contestant Robin Danneels had to quit the show due to being hospitalized for his back pain. Therefore Ivann could return to sing in the contest.

Famous quotes containing the word series:
“Depression moods lead, almost invariably, to accidents. But, when they occur, our mood changes again, since the accident shows we can draw the world in our wake, and that we still retain some degree of power even when our spirits are low. A series of accidents creates a positively light-hearted state, out of consideration for this strange power.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
