3 hours ago3 hr Lol!Gary knocking out potential winner Calvin in the Gamu, only to then be eliminated in Round 1
3 hours ago3 hr That’s tough for Gary, that was a really good song.Shows the depth of competition at this point though. Tom has some songs I really like but not many of them were played, still their mentor did really well to make the live shows.

It's great to see them saved by the judges, Club Bangers will be right up their street.

True about their #1 hit also!
3 hours ago3 hr poor old man 👨🦳 more the reason why Calvin should’ve been brought back but hey ho glad New Order have survived at least
3 hours ago3 hr Author Gary Numan and Tom Grennan, sadly it wasn't meant to be and you've been eliminated from the competition.But, there's still a small matter of your IDENTITIES...was mentored by...@ElectroBoyAfter taking the reins for a short while in Season 2 before eventually joining forces with Jay to take Conan Gray all the way to fourth place, this time it was ElectroBoy's time to shine on his own with none other than Tom 'the pits' Grennan! Joining HRVY in garnering perhaps more support for said pits than the music at times, it's wonderful that ElectroBoy managed to make it all the way to Live Shows with an artist that, at the beginning, perhaps could have been written off as an early boot given the other solo male artists in the competition. But, ElectroBoy made some smart choices and played some of Tom's biggest hits as well as taking some risks, without having sent poor, brave Gilette either! I'm sure Bra will sleep easy knowing the gaslighting can officially end here, but well done ElectroBoy, you've done brilliantly!Tom Grennan in The Pop Factor: Season 3Round 1: The Room Auditions in Rotterdam - Found What I've Been Looking For (3rd, 315 points)Round 2: The Arena Auditions in Amsterdam - Before You (6th, 231 points)Round 3: Boot Camp: Part One in Barcelona - If Only (7th, 207 points)Round 4: Boot Camp: Part Two in Bratislava - Boys Don't Cry (7th, 171 points)Round 5: The Six Chair Challenge in Szczecin - All These Nights (CHAIR)Round 6: Judges' Houses: Part One in Joensuu - Little Bit of Love (3rd, 145 points)Round 7: Judges' Houses: Part Two in Heraklion - Lonely Dancer (3rd, 108 points)Round 9: Live Show One in Budapest - Royal Highness (OUT)and...was mentored by...@Julian_Well at least I can use one of my pre-written commentaries from The Gamu Nhengu Gold Card here if anything, but commiserations regardless Julian! First we had Bob Dylan (before being the old man of the competition became a thing), then we had David Bowie, and now we've had Gary Numan. Reigning champion Julian took on the iconic role this season and certainly did an excellent job getting him as far as he did, with lots of choices that appealed greatly to the alt-leaning crowd but maybe less so to the hardcore pop fans. So bravo! I hope he doesn't mind me saying this publicly, but Julian did say at the beginning that he'd gone for some artists that were less competitive this time to give somebody else a chance, but it's great that even with that considered people have really gotten behind Gary and Julian's had the chance to showcase a fair amount of songs both old and new. Despite being eliminated in the very next round, Gary coming back with The Gamu Nhengu Gold Card with a classic like Cars was indisputable!And... with Gary no longer in the competition and Agnes already eliminated... we are now guaranteed a brand new winner of The Pop Factor!

3 hours ago3 hr We came to a decision Will soon find out whether deadlock would have made a differenceDown to 3 male solo artists already, but well played to the two who fell. Tom did well to avoid the Gamu round. Gary went about as far as he could - I've discovered a lot of his lesser known hits from the 1980s sessions and mostly the best ones have been used, although there's one we've yet to get to in 1987 that may have gone down well - 'Radio Heart' is an absolute earworm!My votes in this round:1 New Order - Ceremony2 Depeche Mode - People Are People3 Fontaines D.C. - Starburster4 Kate Bush - Babooshka5 Bananarama - Cruel Summer6 Sam Fender - Getting Started7 Sam Smith - Like I Can8 Gary Numan - Intruder9 MARINA - How to Be a Heartbreaker10 Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Get Over You11 Texas - Halo12 Adele - Oh My God13 Zara Larsson - All the Time14 Darin - Electric15 Tom Grennan - Royal HighnessVery pleased that New Order weren't brought down by 'Ceremony', that's one of my top 10 songs of 1981! There's plenty of later dance friendly stuff plus those huge classics mentioned to keep them going. 'Cruel Summer' is possibly Bananarama's best song and 'Like I Can' is a good one from Sam Smith's debut, so a foray into the top half for both.
3 hours ago3 hr Well done ElectroBoy and Julian for getting your acts to the live shows, you both did great 👏A couple of people guessed me for Gary and I can see why. I thought Rollo was possibly behind him if he wasn't Ultravox. But then my suspicions shifted to Julian after Rollo was unmasked, if he wasn't feeling as competitive as ABBA last year. Fantastic job Julian, I particularly loved the 'M.E.' pick away from the big two, I remember saying it was a smart move as soon as the thread went up ❤️ I'm glad 'Intruder' got a moment even if it couldn't quite do enough for him.Seeing Gary's songs laid out like that only just made me realise he got an 'electric chair', lol!
