Posted May 13May 13 Do you have THE POP FACTOR?Lady BuzzJack is on a quest to find the first winner of The Pop Factor; a solo pop artist or group that can fend everybody off in each round of the competition and that is quintessential pop in every way.In a nutshell:If you're familiar with AF Idol, The Pop Factor will work similarly. Lady BuzzJack is interested solely in brilliant pop artists and groups here though, split between three categories: Solo Men, Solo Women and Groups (no Overs discrimination against Mary Byrne to be found here on The Pop Factor ).At each stage of the competition, artists will battle it out to secure a place in the next round and make it to the final to be crowned the winner. What each artist does with the crown is up to them - are they coming back from a long bout of irrelevancy? Are they at the top of their game and adding another gong to their mantlepiece? Or are they just here to ride the wave? But what's in it for you? Lady BuzzJack doesn't have the contacts to be giving out a £1,000,000 recording contract, but make it all the way to the final and win the first season of The Pop Factor and your grand prize* will be 🔥 The Ten Poond Record Token 🔥:*UK/Ireland onlyWhen you register your artist you'll be responsible for their fate in the competition, selecting their song for each round. Will you start with a bang and make it known how amazing your artist is from the off or will you save the best for last and risk early elimination?The Pop Factor has only one judge... the members of BuzzJack. Anybody can get involved in each round even if you decide not to enter.GuidanceYour chosen artist/group must not have an Artist Forum on BuzzJack.Your chosen artist/group must have a discography comprising at least 8-10 songs.Your chosen artist/group must be credited as the main artist (or be the main vocalist if featured) of any song(s) chosen.If you are unable to submit a song in any round for your artist/group one will be chosen for you.There are limited spaces per category - Solo Men, Solo Women and Groups.

May 13May 13 The hard thing is knowing/recalling the former artists that have had a go in this type of event before and trying not to repeat them again! I take it the opening round is a free choice round then? So something not too obvious from the artist's discography?

May 13May 13 I do wonder if anyone will know who my artist is as I went quite obscure but oh well. Someone I personally love ! Edited May 13May 13 by Lukuzz
May 13May 13 If a certain female UK act is selected, I bet she'll most likely win the Solo Women category.
May 13May 13 I have no idea what the strategy is here - will the better known artists necessarily do better or do I pick a lesser known artist who has great songs? I literally can't decide how it will go but I've chosen and submitted an artist anyway. Should be an fun contest!
May 14May 14 Author Some great artists registered so far, keep them coming also don't worry if/when we get to the point where Solo Women is filled up and you still want to enter. More spots will open up (hopefully with some more in Men and Groups too )

May 14May 14 I am so tempted to do this, but my thinking was no a contemporary act.Can it be from any era or does it have to be post a certain year?
