OBJECTIVE: PLEASE_KITTY_KIND_

Welcome to The Kittysphere. The Solo Female Fleet's pod has landed on the surface of the planet with litters of kittens and fat cats everywhere. Making her way around the planet in solitude to care for all of the kitties is none other than winner of The Pop Factor: Season 1, Avril Lavigne. Avril has been expecting you all, and - after becoming stranded on this planet after embarking on her own mission to find Lady BuzzJack - she has set the stage for all of the solo female artists to perform for their lives and the approval of Kitty-Kind. As visitors on The Kittysphere, you must keep Kitty-Kind happy or face their wrath by being expelled to the Litter Tray of Doom in deep space.

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)

02

03

04

05

06

07

08

09 (least favourite)

For those voting who have entered one of the artists into the competition, you must rank all nine performances in your own category.

Failure to vote in your own category at minimum will result in an 18 point deduction from your final total.

As always, even if you are not competing in The Pop Factor you can vote too!

When voting closes, the eight female soloists with the highest scores will collect valuable resources from Avril Lavigne and Kitty-Kind, progressing to the next round, while ONE of the females will be eliminated from the competition and will not be going through.

Voting will close on Monday 9 March 2026, 17:59 GMT

It's time to find out what tricks the solo female artists have in store for Judges' Houses...

LiSA - Akeboshi (明け星)

FKA twigs - Stereo Boy

Kelly Clarkson - Haunted

That is my absolute favourite Nelly song what a choice!!

Also love Kelly, Kesha and Chappell. Haven't heard the rest other than Lily which I've never been too huge on oops

Delta going in with a 2 day old song

That is indeed quite an iconic move for whoever’s behind Delta (who could it possibly be!) - suddenly gaining another song over the weekend in order to not have to use the big guns just yet 😂

Does Delta have any big guns?

I didn’t think much of ‘22’ when it first came out but those lyrics hit hard as a woman in her 20s now :’)

Why not at more LUX representation for ROSALÍA tbh 💡💡💡

Excellent (curveball!!!) choice for Kelly!

Top 3 Nelly songs for me too! ADORE that one!

Fun bop from Kesha.

My favourite from ROSALÍA’s most recent album! LOOOOVE!

Not crazy on the Chappell or Lily choices, but don’t dislike either of them.

Not sure I’m too familiar with the rest of them!

I google’ed images and no, there’s no pictures of her with big guns 🤷🏻‍♂️

I wondered if the new Eurovision song would make an apperance!

One of my all time faves from Nelly Furtado also ❤️

Yes.

Brer is gonna hate me for that.

Eclipse

Is Delta the first act to release new music while this has been running?

Deltas song has got to be the most current song any artist will put forward for the entire competition

I was tempted to do it as well I swear

Most familiar with Kesha, Chappell and Lily this round. RED FLAG. is my absolute highlight of Kesha's period. After Midnight has always been mid-tier for me when it comes to ...Midwest Princess but will be interesting to see how it compares to this list. Never been mad on 22 either but haven't heard it in years tbf.

Just saw the Delta choice in the Eurovision thread a few minutes ago. Potentially smart move there. (not familiar enough with the song to really pass too much judgement just yet but it sounded good).

I know the Nelly and ROSALIA ones by name but can't recall the song (I'm sure I've heard Try before at least).

Don't know any of the others.

Been having fun with AI?

I would imagine so. 🫢

Yay for ‘After Midnight’ and ‘Red Flag’ both getting picked after I said I wanted them last round. Chappell has done very well to keep her big hitters to the side for later on. I wonder if she could be win competitive because of that?!
