Posted 11 hours ago11 hr SOLO MALEHallo, 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 male 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 male 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 male artists and let's find out what they're performing for their ARENA AUDITION...0102030405060708091011Standard list of entries:HRVY - 1 Day 2 NightsLewis Capaldi - Forget MeCalvin Harris - SummerDamien Rice - Woman Like a ManDarin feat.

11 hours ago11 hr Oop! Had a feeling that may happen but actually not sure Sam needs to have some of their biggest bops played just yet while there’s a few less reliable names in the mix. I’m interested to see how long Calvin goes down this road of sending songs with just his vocal on them before caving x
11 hours ago11 hr If Calvin is sending in just his own stuff; hopefully You Used to Hold Me gets used at some point!

One of them started off with him teasing some Hasta Luego which was most pleasing Edited 11 hours ago11 hr by Lee_J11

However, as some people already mentioned before, it probably might be a way of taking that track instead of losing it if it's taken into consideration that it's unknown when the people behind the artists are going to submit specific songs. 8 hours ago, RobBot said:I’m interested to see how long Calvin goes down this road of sending songs with just his vocal on them before caving xI'm surprised (not opposed, of course!) that the first two songs have been using his vocals. I could go deeper, but I think that I would slip something I shouldn't, so I guess the best is to keep my mouth shut to see whether the idea I'm thinking of is true or not, lol! 😅
