It's been quite the journey through space so far for Pop Fleet 26. Many have fallen, but now the final fifteen artists have landed on the World of Live Shows, touching down and ready to fight on to win The Pop Factor: Season 2, bragging rights being the last artist standing to find Lady BuzzJack, and the grand prize of the £20 Amazon Gift Card!

How it works:

As you all know, Lily Allen, ROSALÍA and Conan Gray fought their way back into the competition with The Platinum Paije Rock of Hopes and Dreams and have also landed on the World of Live Shows.

Once you've listened to all of the artists perform in Live Show One, you should post your votes in this thread, ranking the performances from favourite to least favourite. Please post a list that states clearly which is your favourite down to least favourite, or use the below format:

For those voting that are competing in the Live Show, you must vote. Failure to vote by a competing artist will result in a 30 point deduction from your final score.

As always, if you are not competing in The Pop Factor you are more than welcome to cast your vote too - whether you've been an observer for the beginning or your artist has been eliminated!

And that's not all...

When voting closes, we'll cross over to the results show where TWO artists will be eliminated from the competition. The first - the artist with the least points - will be eliminated from the competition automatically. The remaining bottom two artists with the least points will then come face to face with our four judges: Commander Eye Sack, Le Jé d’Eleven, The Rogue Trader and Jimmy-Jam Watts. They will decide the artist that remains in the competition.

Voting closes on Saturday 28 March 2026, 17:59 GMT

So without further ado, let's get Live Show One underway...

Yes to that Delta choice

Interesting round, wow.

Some lesser hits from Nelly and Kelly but nice to see them get a shot.

The Delta song is… my third favourite song of all time, my favourite by her, and was my first ever BJSC entry

Love Irresistible and Madeline! Super Trouper another classic from ABBA. Be With You one of the remaining Atomic Kitten songs that definitely should see them through. Ashes to Ashes legendary…

Still a few for me to discover too!

Saturday... I better remember because I forgot the deadline last time was yesterday. 😅

Ashes To Ashes is my favourite Bowie song and far ahead everything else here for me. The rest will be close.

Weak Live Round 1

Because it's missing some wave wet sand?

Those David Bowie, ROSALÍA and HAIM choices are flawless 🥰

I recently tried that ROSALÍA song for the 'One Hit Wonders' edition of Bop Idol but got vetoed as, in typical fashion, 'Berghain' materialised a couple of days after I confirmed - soon making her a two hit wonder in terms of U.K. top 40s. So I'm glad it's now got an outing here!

p.s. the FOMO is real but at the same time it's great to be able to discuss and react so openly now I don't have an identity to conceal

Sneaking in to post the first votes.

4. Chappell Roan - Red Wine Supernova

5. ABBA - Super Trouper

6. Scissor Sisters - She’s My Man

7. Delta Goodrem - Believe Again

8. ROSALÍA - PIENSO EN TU MIRÁ - Cap.3: Celos

9. The Corrs - Irresistible

10. David Bowie - Ashes to Ashes

11. Conan Gray - Maniac

12. Troye Sivan - Bloom

13. Florence + the Machine - Hurricane Drunk

14. Lily Allen - Madeline

15. Nelly Furtado - Big Hoops (Bigger the Better)

Oh y'all be nice to Big Hoops. Another bold choice but I am very much here for it xx

(HAIM also snapping once more, my favourite song from them <3)

I was wondering if 'Maniac' would be popping up for Conan, that was the first song I heard by him and it's a cracker!

I think I have a good idea of one of the acts that will be eliminated based on these songs but I'll keep my thoughts to myself for now.

@Spiceboy is gonna be gutted he's missing out on the return of The Rogue Trader!

I really enjoy Nelly's music, early stuff and her prime... but that song is just unforgivable.

That HAIM song I am honestly not a big fan of theirs at all, but that and "Pray To God" are just divine.

Votes already?! Viper striking very quick!!

Some might say striking like a viper!

I am thankful (for the most part) to know all these songs so I didn't need to go away and study them or give them more time.

So thought I would pounce as an outsider to the competition and get the ball rolling

Good luck all!

Ooooh can’t wait to listen!

Looking forward to listening through to everything!

That choice feels RISKY for Rosalia but I respect wanting to break out of the MOTOMAMI/Lux only choices.

Some really good songs here though, in an understandably “these aren’t any of these artists best songs but very solid” kinda way, after the chaos of sending a lot of these artists best songs in the knockout round.

My favourite Atomic Kitten song has just been played. Chappell firing out a final-worthy choice there! Lily coming back with a vengeance with the gun-wielding Madeline. Kelly also bringing one of her best singles! Excited to delve into this playlist!
