Friday at 20:063 days Author I can now reveal...The artist with the lowest score...eliminated from the competition tonight...is......which means congratulations David Bowie, you are safe and through to Live Show Three. Troye, we'll find out your identity in just a moment, but for now your time in the competition has come to an end.
Friday at 20:123 days Well... that result is as shocking as Nelly's exit in the last round, considering the circumstances.
Friday at 20:163 days Bowie could go further than Troye I suspect as has so many solid gold classics.

Betty Who) [12th, OUT]And so we say goodbye to two artists who were largely very successful all throughout the competition, with two mentors behind them that played incredible games. First up, Josh! kept under the radar with HAIM, a left-field choice of artist that ended up receiving a lot of love; topping the results as well as performing very strongly in the groups category. I feel somewhat responsible like a bad omen now having complimented Josh on how well he'd played the game so far earlier this week, only for this to happen lmao (I'm so sorry x). And then could Troye really have been anyone other than Jonjo at this point? Quite possibly the frontrunner of all the males when the names were first announced, Troye falls victim to ballads this week with HEAVEN (very, very strangely) not quite connecting with people despite being an absolute gem of a song. Troye also topped the leaderboard throughout the competition and was in fierce competition with Conan to be crowned king of the twinks. Sadly, it wasn't meant to be. But both of you should be extremely proud of what you've showcased for HAIM and Troye in the competition. You've done amazing, and thank you!!
Friday at 20:223 days Gutted for Troye, you played it so well @Tafty!! HEAVEN should not have resulted in this and I'm really disappointed it has, the lack of taste on this forum is worrying x
Friday at 20:233 days Ooh wow ok super surprised at Jonjo not being Kelly but at the same time not funnily enough as I think he’d have showcased stuff from her most recent albums by now.
Friday at 20:273 days Farewell HAIM and Troye </3Josh you had a brilliant run there! Thank you for reminding me of 'I Know Alone' as I have a whole new level of appreciation for it now. My favourite HAIM song that didn't end up appearing yet is 'Falling'. Jonjo you also did a great job with Troye. My favourite of his that didn't show up yet is 'Easy' although I'm glad the IN A DREAM EP still got some representation.Happy to see Bowie through, especially as it means ABBA aren't the only retro act left standing. I guess 'Space Oddity' probably would've been the safest bet for that round but at least he still has that as a future possibility now.

I had such a strong path for Troye coming up lmao </3 (I figured "Ballad round" would have been hard for him, but I thought it'd have been a "finishes in 9th after being a nice discovery for people" kind of struggle - not 2nd to last lmao)--At least I got further than last time (fell at battle rounds with Enrique). So that's a win. I've really enjoyed partaking as Troye's mentor! He's such an underrated artist on the whole.

Friday at 20:353 days A real shame that Gasoline was ended it for Haim, that's always been a good one from the Women in Music era, maybe Summer Girl or Hallelujah could've done better. Great presentation of them though, The Wire and Falling were my favourites to not be sent but I guess they were being saved.I didn't dislike this Troye song despite the lower ranking and have quite liked some of the songs sent here as well. Been nice to get to know him a bit more as an artist.

He's such an underrated artist on the whole.Fair, just thinking aloud about the sheer volume of classics at Bowie’s disposal.Forgive my ignorance though as I don’t know a huge amount about Troye’s catalogue outside the big hits so will definitely check any you mention that you would have sent. One Of Your Girls is my favourite Troye song and I also adore Papercut with Zedd ❤️ Edited Friday at 20:403 days by gooddelta
Friday at 20:483 days As this round would have been free choice and not the "Flop" round. I would have chosen One of Your Girls as Troye's next entry:
