''Sekret Uspekha'' ((ロシア語:Секрет Успеха); (英語:Secret of Success)) was a Russian popular music talent show, broadcast on Saturdays on RTR. It was similar in format to ''Narodniy Artist'', and was the Russian version of the British show ''The X Factor'', created by Simon Cowell. The Секрет Успеха (Secret of Success) of the title refers to the secret and undefinable "something" that makes for star quality. The show is primarily concerned with identifying singing talent, though personality, stage presence and dance routines are also an important element of many performances. There were two series. The first was in 2005〔(Show Media Art: На канале «Россия» стартует новое шоу «Секрет успеха» ) (in Russian)〕 and title was won by Vladimir Sapovskiy. A second and final series was broadcast in 2007, and title won by Nikolay Timokhin. The show was cancelled after two series because of insufficient number of viewers, but after the immense success of the X Factor series internationally, a new Russian series was launched, named ''Faktor A'' (in Russian ''Фактор А'') after the name of Alla Pugacheva rather than Faktor X. ==Series format== There are four stages to ''Секрет Успеха'' competition: *Stage 1. Auditions *Stage 2. Bootcamp *Stage 3. Visits to judges' homes *Stage 4. Live shows (finals) The competition is split into three categories: vocal groups (including duos), solo singers aged 16–24, and solo singers aged 25 and over. There is, however, only one final winner. In the initial weeks of the show, public auditions are held at various locations across Russia. Each act enters the audition room (often after waiting for hours), and delivers a stand-up unaccompanied performance of their chosen song to the three judges. If at least two of the four judges say "yes" then the act goes through to the next stage. These auditions attract large numbers of hopefuls. Only a small selection of auditions are broadcast – usually the best, the worst and the most bizarre. Much like Pop Idol, many acts face harsh criticism from the judges. After all auditions are complete, each of the three judges is allocated a category to mentor (supposedly at random). The contestants who survived stage one are then further refined through a series of performances at "boot camp" and at the judges' homes, until a small number eventually progress to the live finals. In the live shows, each act performs a new song or songs each week in front of an auditorium audience as well as the judges. The songs chosen are usually pop standards or contemporary hits. Members of the public vote on the acts by telephone or text message, and this, in combination with the judges' opinions, determines which act is dismissed. The contestants are whittled away week by week until the winner eventually emerges. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sekret Uspekha」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
