If we are roughly following the X Factor format, the three categories shouldn't come together until there are 12 acts left. Having said that, I don't really mind the unpredictability and tension that will come with this week's round.

I am very glad to see LiSA get this far (and it's because I like her so much that I paid attention here in the first place), though I was hoping to see more of her early stuff that I got into her for show up - Oath Sign is an absolute banger that you should all check out.

Eric and The Chicks both did very well too and were interesting to see songs from, shame to see them gone also.

The battles will be public this season (will find out who you're up against when the thread goes live), however voting will not be

Interesting! Lots to gamble on... strong acts do they dare to send something below their most popular in the knowledge it would still beat most of the others... do less popular acts play the strongest they have but then potentially lose anyway due to the act they're chosen against, and then have nothing left for the thing that's like the Golden Wagner but not the Golden Wagner.

Maybe you should use 'Oath Sign' as your bid to get her back in to the competition

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SEND AND I CAN'T HELP BUT THINK I'M OVER THINKING IT! LMAOOOO. It's lowkey stressing me out!

This is going to be a loooooong week not knowing what anyone is voting for 😫

Submitted, here's hoping it was the right choice.

I think I’m just gonna go with the biggest hit for mine and if I somehow scrape through be screwed for other rounds most likely 🤣

Well done to The Chicks, Lisa and Eric. All 3 brought some interesting variety to the competition and did well to get this far.

This will be interesting.

Just as a reminder again, for those artists eliminated tonight please refrain from revealing your identity just yet. Can exclusively reveal that after the Platinum Paije Rock of Hopes and Dreams has been won and one act wins their way back into the competition to join the final 12 at the Live Shows, the identities of all eliminated artists will be revealed

Kind of hope the 13th act is a surprise and not an obvious choice

Think I know what song would get me through to the final 12!

I like the randomness of the 1v1 battles this round, though I’ve got no clue what to send.

I feel my act will be gone this round. It’s going to be brutal.

Excited for people’s identities to be revealed for the eliminated contestants but in the mean time, I’ve absolutely definitely just confirmed a banger for this round. So ready for everyone to hear it!

Hope we don’t end up with like 9 female artists though and no males as it will be a bit boring. Still think 4 from each category would have been good, but oh well. May the best woman win 🤣

Aww The Chicks and Eric were fun to follow but they did well to make it this far, as did Lisa.

Next round is going to be a bloodbath!!! The thought of getting eliminated despite finishing second in the vote because you were up against the top vote-getter!! (assuming it's the same voting format as last year).

This is stressful, I have no idea how to play this one 😭

Submitted! I'm not going to overthink this one.

Almost half of you have confirmed and I can confirm this is indeed going to be a bloodbath

It all depends on who you're paired against I think so I'm bricking it, there's one particular artists I do not wanna get as that will be game over for sureeee

Yep, some artists here just have songs that nobody else is going to get past under any circumstance.
