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:
“As Cuvier could correctly describe a whole animal by the contemplation of a single bone, so the observer who has thoroughly understood one link in a series of incidents should be able to accurately state all the other ones, both before and after.”
—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)
