The Pop Factor: Season 3 • Judges' Houses: Part One in Joensuu (Solo Male)

Posted 2 hours ago2 hr

SOLO MALE

After a tense, divisive round in the competition at The Six Chair Challenge in Szczecin, it's time for the solo male artists to move on to the next stage of the competition, and they find themselves in Joensuu, a city located in the eastern interior of Finland. Here, they will perform for you, the voting BuzzJack public, in a bid to secure their spot in the second part of Judges' Houses. Not only that, there's a theme: all of the artists will be performing a beloved streaming hit, one that is among their top 10 most streamed songs of all time on Spotify!

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)

06 (least favourite)

For those voting who have entered one of the artists into the competition, you should rank all six performances in all categories.

As always, even if you are not competing in The Pop Factor you can vote too!

When voting closes, the five 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 Tuesday 20 October 2026, 17:59 BST

So let's get the show on the road! It's time for the solo male artists to give us their all at JUDGES' HOUSES...
