3 hours ago3 hr Happy with that result for the groups! Roosevelt is my favourite of these artists but sounds like he did reasonably well at least.
3 hours ago3 hr Roosevelt was a nice act to discover, some quite funky songs.Damien Rice provided many of my favourite discoveries of the series (including this week's which I ranked third), thanks Herbs.
3 hours ago3 hr Author was mentored by...@Calum I promise you all now, I am coming for your wigs in Season 4 and pivoting away from the solo male category and you are not going to know what's hit you when I play competitive xo. I did decide, again, to go for a twink a) to fill up a slot in the solo male category and b) that clearly had no chance of winning the competition because I don't like to make it too far in as host, but I've really been enjoying delving back into HRVY's discography throughout the competition, and I'm surprised at just how well lie to me has done in this round. I definitely wouldn't have had any plan going into Live Shows if lie to me made it because I feel I've showcased some of his very best while leaving out ones that definitely would've seen him straight out in the first round. So I'm more than happy with HRVY's run here, continuing my own run of being eliminated at the 'cull' in every season so far.

Whats funny is that I'm not much a fan of Ed Sheeran's music much so surprised by that comparison but yeah didn't expect to get far with him. Glad his best song got him through the 1st round though.I appreciated someone sending an artist like this - was nice to make a new discovery :)
3 hours ago3 hr Aww, that was a really solid track from Hrvy and through this I learnt that I like a lot more of his songs than I'd have expected, he ranked high for me several times, nice job Calum! And amazing job on the hosting, of course.
3 hours ago3 hr I assumed Calum was HRVY or Darin based on comments from previous threads. Which now makes me think Electroboy is Darin
3 hours ago3 hr Author was mentored by...@Lindsey. First of all, despite Lewis ending up being eliminated early in the competition, props to Lindsey because I'm sure nobody would have or actually has guessed that she is the person behind him. Perhaps great for the anonymity aspect, but less great for advancing in the competition with a swathe of recognisable hits that BuzzJack seem to either be tired of or on the fence about. That said, I'm personally really glad Lindsey played some of Lewis' best songs in the competition (Hold Me While You Wait and Before You Go, chef's kiss). Another artist that I'd be interested to know the plan for had he lasted longer, but alas it wasn't meant to be and Lindsey's peak in The Pop Factor remains with none other than Chappell Roan.
3 hours ago3 hr can't believe @Scary Spiceboy had me down as sending bladee in - if I'd done that, I would've made better picks (that Icedancer interlude pick was pretty strange and as much as I love 5 Star Crest it's basically poison for this contest)

3 hours ago3 hr Big surprise for me that Lindsey isn't Marina, wow. Someone else is doing an incredible job with her.
3 hours ago3 hr Excellent outcome for the groups, Both of the top 2 are good but Enjoy the Silence is an all time favourite and I ranked it 2nd/1st apart from me. I'll save my M83 blurb for once these are done but I am actually pleasantly surprised to finish as high as 4th in a field like that!

3 hours ago3 hr Author And...the second recipient...of one of the three Gamu Nhengu Gold Cards...is...Congratulations Gary Numan, you've earned your place back in the competition and are heading to Live Shows!which means...was mentored by...@The Addyms Family Oh Daddy, Addy, Addy! I fear you were doing exceptionally well covering your tracks hiding behind people thinking you could have been any of the Swedish ladies or Vengaboys up until your very public meltdown at some of the reactions to Calvin Harris' potential song choices to come. And despite We Found Love being an absolute banger, sadly it has been your demise due to... a lot of reactions to its inclusion. But there's a lot of positives to look at. With an artist like Calvin, you could have taken the easy route and sent as many hit collaborations as you wanted to, but you didn't. And you still managed to dominate the leaderboard somewhat in the first half of the competition.
3 hours ago3 hr Aww damn, well firstly well done Addy and it became very clear last week you were behind Calvin!!I wonder how I'm Not Alone would have done. I did rank We Found Love top anyway in this round myself but see why others marked it down.Fully deserved for Gary's mentor, Cars is legendary.
