GROUPS

The five remaining groups have packed their bags and moved onto the second destination at Judges' Houses. This time, all of the groups find themselves in Hvar, a Summer resort and Croatian island in the Adriatic Sea, known for its 13th-century walls and hilltop fortress. Here, they will perform for you, the voting BuzzJack public, once more. This time, they're bidding to become one of twelve artists at Live Shows. As well as that, there's another theme and this time the groups will be performing a song barely streamed on Spotify, one that hasn't quite cracked the streaming code.

How it works:

For Judges' Houses: Part Two, voting will be private.

When you've listened to all of the groups perform, you should cast your votes by completing THIS form, ranking the performances from favourite to least favourite.

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

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

When voting closes, the four groups with the highest scores will proceed to Live Shows while ONE group will be eliminated from the competition and will not be going through.

However, the competition doesn't end there. For the final time, the group eliminated from the competition in this round will be eligible to compete for the chance to return alongside the other eliminated artists and claim The Gamu Nhengu Gold Card.

Voting will close on Sunday 25 October 2026, 17:59 BST

Reminder: voting is private. To vote, click the link to the form above.

So, without further ado, it's time for the groups to take on the second part of JUDGES' HOUSES in a bid to make it to Live Shows...

The Runner is not what I expected to see for Bananrama, I wonder if it reaches the lofty heights of the Steps version!

Today I learnt Texas made a very timely comeback cheeseblock Good to see something recent from them at least.

Good one from the Fontaines album!

Genuinely did not know Texas were even still an active band lol x

I think they went on hiatus and Sharleen did some solo stuff for a bit but they've still been consistently releasing albums every 4-5 years

Private Voting - I am here for it!!

The round after being given the push 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️😂

01 - Really enjoyed this one

02 - Enjoyed this

03 - This was good!

04 - OK, but nothing exciting, but sure they'll get through

05 - For me this seemed quite a way behind the pack, which was a shame as I've enjoyed a number of their songs.

Silence or Tom Grennan, I know which one I'm picking x

lol which group is Tom in?

Tom bringing the chat to the groups thread cos the remaining groups cant 🤣

My cryptic clues:

  1. Pure class and made me smile, great vocal and production

  2. This act have been up and down my rankings, and up they go again

  3. Decent and sounded strong, with a good melody

  4. Not bad but can see why it's not among their most streamed

  5. I wasn't very fond of the vocal unfortunately

My point is I'd rather have better music that doesn't generate posts on here than some of the stuff in the other categories xx

(I don't really see why this is an "issue" that needs to keep being pointed out)
