You can argue your point all you want but it's a singing competition, and both Cher and Katie shouldn't have gotten through.

All Wikipedia definitions that can and probably are written by people that don't have a clue. It is
not just a singing competition, or else why would the Judge's keep referring to lines such as 'do you have the X Factor'? Dannii said it herself when giving one of the results to her boys this Sunday. The 'X Factor' is having that star quality, something different, something that stands out, a combination of different things [vocal ability, stage presence, personality, the 'look'].
Whilst we're using Wikipedia definitions, here is the real definition of the 'X Factor' itself, not the show. This is what it means:

X factor is an expression referring to an indefinable quality, particularly when referring to individuality and personality. Since these elements of a person or thing might not be measurable or definable, the "X factor" (since "X" is commonly used as a variable) is often used to explain its appeal. Compare je ne sais quoi.
