Posted 11 hours ago11 hr SOLO FEMALEHallo, welkom in Amsterdam!The second stop on The Pop Factor's European Adventure brings us to the liberal, progressive, cannabis-selling city of Amsterdam in the Netherlands. Home to the house of Anne Frank, the Red Light District, many a bicycle route, and the Van Gogh Museum, this will be the last stop for some artists. Eleven have landed safely, but only ten will continue on the adventure to the next location and venue. Singing for their place in the competition, let's welcome the solo female artists to the Ziggo Dome stage to audition again for the voting BuzzJack public!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)02030405060708091011 (least favourite)For those voting who have entered one of the artists into the competition, you should rank all eleven performances in your own category (however it's encouraged that you vote in all categories), and when scores are totalled your entry will be removed from your 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 ten female solo artists with the highest scores will proceed to the next round while ONE artist will be eliminated from the competition and will not be going through.However, the competition doesn't end there. Any artists eliminated from the competition - until stated - will be eligible to compete for the chance to return and claim The Gamu Nhengu Gold Card.Voting will close on Monday 28 September 2026, 17:59 BSTSo give a round of applause for our solo female artists and let's find out what they're performing for their ARENA AUDITION...0102030405060708091011Standard list of entries:Milica Pavlović - Crna jutra (Balkan S&M)Leona Lewis - Come AliveZara Larsson - Ain't My FaultJessie Ware - If You're Never Gonna MoveAdele - Rolling in the DeepSophie Ellis-Bextor - Me and My ImaginationDido - Take My HandKate Bush - The Man With the Child in His EyesRobyn - Hang With MeAgnes - EGOMARINA - FrootSpotify playlist coming soon!This week, awardinary will be hosting a listen-through session for The Arena Auditions in Amsterdam on Thursday 24 September at 19:00 BST.

11 hours ago11 hr Could have been Adele’s winning song (if she gets that far).Take My Hand is a wise choice, as it won Bop Idol recently.Hang With Me ❤️ Robyn is HERE!All the people at danger last time have sent brilliant songs this time… I suspect we will have a new bottom three.

11 hours ago11 hr Some smart choices here, apart from Adele, everyone seems to have settled in the “not their biggest hit but still very much competitive” zone and, given I have no idea what any of Milica’s music sounds like and she pulled a shock last time, I can’t see an obvious “mistake” of a pick here.
11 hours ago11 hr Adele going big again! Loads of bangers in this round, loving the Leona, Sophie and Dido choices in particular!
11 hours ago11 hr Well that will be my 2 favourite Dido songs gone: great to see them but not sure where she’ll go afterwards.
11 hours ago11 hr Those are quite possibly my favourite Adele and Jessie Ware songs! Happy the FROOT era is getting some representation for MARINA too.
11 hours ago11 hr Adele is going big again but let’s be honest, at this rate she’ll be “going big” in practically every round, she has enough massive hits to cover most weeks 😂(Also yay for me and my imaginations appearance ❤️) Edited 11 hours ago11 hr by Lee_J11
11 hours ago11 hr The person behind Leona Lewis picking a Glassheart album track and it's "Come Alive". They're not playing this round.
10 hours ago10 hr Wow. Milica has come to compete again, great entry. It’s anybody’s guess who goes this time I think.
10 hours ago10 hr Adele, Zara, Marina, Agnes, Sophie and Leona are all bringing it this round. Holy sheet. I don’t know the rest (yet).
10 hours ago10 hr Zara is coming back swinginggggg Again, I like that Marina song but it's probably not one that I'd have picked although I'm more of a Family Jewels/Electra Heart stan
7 hours ago7 hr So many great songs this round. It’s going to be difficult to rank them.EGO was my 2nd most play songs last year and 1st most played song released in 2025.
