Posted 10 hours ago10 hr BOOT CAMP: PART TWOTHE DEEPEST OF CUTSGROUPSBoot Camp: Part Two awaits, and for three unlucky artists - Nadia Oh, Guitarricadelafuente and Ace of Base - they've been left in the wild wondering if they'll ever be found again. But for the remaining artists, there's a glimmer of hope. Just a short trek away are vital resources to refuel the spacecraft and continue on the mission to find Lady BuzzJack and return her to the homepage before time runs out and her captor makes her disappear forever. There are limited resources though, and only those that come across them will be able to board the spacecraft again, while three more artists will be left behind on this picturesque planet. It's time to welcome back the groups, once again, to the stage to perform for you, the voting BuzzJack public. And this time, they've dug deep.How it works:Once you have listened to all of the artists perform you should post a ranking of each of the performances. You can rank them from best to worst (making clear which is your favourite down to least favourite), or use the template below:01 (favourite)020304050607080910 (least favourite)For those voting who have entered one of the artists into the competition, you should rank all ten performances in your own category (however it's encouraged that you vote in both other categories), and when totalling up scores your entry will be removed from the list to retain anonymity in the competition.As always, even if you are not competing in The Pop Factor you can vote too!When voting closes, the nine groups with the highest scores will jump back on board Pop Fleet 26 and set flight for Judges' Houses while ONE of the groups will be eliminated from the competition and will not be going through.IMPORTANT:The Rebecca Ferguson Lobster of Resurrection is in play this round, and if whomever holds it ends the round in 10th place they will not be eliminated from the competition. Instead, the artist that ends the round in 9th place will be eliminated.Voting will close on Monday 2 March 2026, 17:59 GMTLet's say hello to the artists again and find out what they consider to be THE DEEPEST OF CUTS...01020304050607080910Standard list of entries:Atomic Kitten - Walking on the WaterABBA - Keep an Eye on DanErasure - Sono LuminusHAIM - Days Are GoneBlondie - ShaylaThe Chicks - LullabyThe Corrs - HideawayScissor Sisters - Skin TightThe 1975 - Pressure (Artful Remix)Florence + the Machine - HowlSpotify playlist coming soon!
9 hours ago9 hr Solid picks for Florence and HAIM! Are Blondie just going to deliver songs named after people? 😂
9 hours ago9 hr Pleased to see some Night Work representation for Scissor Sisters 4 minutes ago, Scene said:Are Blondie just going to deliver songs named after people? 😂'Hanging On The Telephone' coming to top the baby name list next year tbh x
8 hours ago8 hr Queen Of Hollywood is the ultimtate Corrs album track, but Borrowed Heaven was a brilliant album so that's a good choice too.Keep An Eye On Dan is a great song from Voyage, and you can't go far wrong with anything from Lungs.Walking On The Water is a song I haven't thought about since 2002, I recall it being quite breezy and fun though.Looking forward to hearing the rest! Edited 8 hours ago8 hr by gooddelta
7 hours ago7 hr That Abba song choice is inspired, it's my favourite track on Voyage I know the HAIM one too, and I presume I'll know the Scissors one as I have all of their albums, but I can't think how it goes so I look forward to rediscovering it.
6 hours ago6 hr I only know Atomic Kitten, ABBA, HAIM & Florence (I think? Wasn’t this sent during AF Idol? Icr)I coulda seorn ‘Keep An Eye on Dan’ was a single but I could be mis remembering ofc.That’s a solid Atomic Kitten pick. But I have a feeling they could be in trouble a bit. We’ll see!
6 hours ago6 hr Listening through to this category now so thought I'll document my initial thoughts on each (I'll hold off ranking just yet though obvs).Atomic Kitten - never heard this before despite owning the album for over a decade. Really solid album track from them and a clear improvement on last round. It's the sort of track they really excel at.ABBA - another one I've never heard. This sounds pretty good on first listen. Not sure how it'll fare here though.Erasure - another discovery. This sounds good - maybe a bit of a grower. HAIM - LOVE the production on this and the chorus. It has such a summery throwback vibe to it. Great choice! Hoping it serves them well this round.Blondie - this is a great find! Debbie sounds gorgeous here. The Chicks - hmmm this is pleasant but not very competitive from them... especially since they've been in danger repeatedly. I suspect either the lobster holder or the hostess herself @Calum recklessly played this. The Corrs - this sounds like a really solid entry/safe bet for them. One of their better entries to date imo.Scissor Sisters - the first entry of theirs I didn't know beforehand. I need to give this album a play tbh. It's a bop!The 1975 - a bit of a sound switch-up here from them. I'm sure they have far better album tracks, no? Florence - getting the closing slot with Howl. I probably would've picked half a dozen songs before this one but can't fault the choice - the whole album is fab!
4 hours ago4 hr Another nice selection of songs.I agree with @gooddelta Queen Of Holiday is an absolute classic.
