There were four phases: 1. Auditions 2. Bootcamp 3. Judge's House 4. Live Shows
This year twelve acts had been a part of the live shows, but not in 3 categories like the two seasons before. In season 3 there were four categories. This year only the viewers voted who will go through. It wouldn't be a final showdown. The Live shows were cut to four, instead eight.
Applications and auditions
The first appeal for applicants for series 3 was broadcast during series 2 on 6 December 2012. Auditions in front of the judges for series 3 took place in Cologne, Berlin, Munich and Hamburg. After the acts sing in front of the judges, they would be eliminated or go through to the Bootcamp, but they need 3 of 4 votes to get through. The first audition was broadcastd on 25 August 2012 on RTL Television. The rest aired on VOX every Sunday.
Bootcamp
The episodes of Bootcamp were broadcast in September 2012. It showed 92 acts attend to the Bootcamp. The acts were split into 4 groups, Boys, Girls, Over 25s and Groups and Bands, in which to perform in Düsseldorf. At first the 92 acts were reduced to the last 48, after a one-minute performance. The second phase was a duell where two acts of a category had to performe the same song and after this the judges decided which act got through to the Judges' House. The boys category had only five acts because both acts of one battle were send home and two of the girls category (Loredana Giarraputo & Klementine Hendrichs) have to repeat the battle in the judges house because the judges couldn't decided.
The 24 acts who reached the Judges' Houses:
Judges' houses
Judges' houses, the final part of the selection process, was filmed in the summer 2012. The episodes aired in October 2012. Judges decided alone which categories they want get, so at the end of the Bootcamp they discussed their favourites. Baxxter the Girls, Nasic the Groups and Bands, Connor the Over 25s, and Pelham the Boys. At judges' houses each act performed one song for their mentor and his guest, before the last performance, they practised the song with their mentor and his guest.
