| Season chronology | |
X Factor is a Danish television music competition showcasing new singing talent. Like the end of season 13, season 14 continued live shows without audiences due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] Solveig Lindelof won the season and Oh Land became the winning mentor for the first time and Solveig Lindelof became the first winner in the Danish X Factor history to appear in the bottom two.
Judges and hosts
Thomas Blachman and Oh Land returned as judges for a 13th and third season respectively, while Ankerstjerne did not return for a third season.[2] DJ Martin Jensen took over as judge from Ankerstjerne, introducing him to the competition for the first time.[3][4]
For a sixth season, Sofie Linde Ingversen returned as the host of the show.[5] Sofie hosted the auditions, the returning 5 Chair Challenge, and the Bootcamp. For the live shows, she would take maternity leave, appointing the hosting role to comedian Melvin Kakooza.[6][7] In late February however, Melvin had a brain tumor, rendering him unable to host the show.[8] Lise Rønne, the former host of seasons 1, 2, 4, and 5, agreed to replace Melvin as host of the show.[9] She was hesitant initially but agreed by reason of circumstances.[10]
