We've stopped at a number of different cities across Europe, and now we find ourselves in Geneva, Switzerland as twenty-three eliminated artists take to the stage in a bid to become one of just three returning to the competition for Live Shows. Over the last seven rounds we've sadly had to say goodbye to many artists but now it's time for them to give it their best shot at joining MARINA, Adele, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Zara Larsson, New Order, Texas, Fontaines D.C., Bananarama, Sam Smith, Sam Fender, Darin and Tom Grennan for second half of the competition as we journey to the grandest of locations across Europe. It's time to claim The Gamu Nhengu Gold Card.How it works:The voting BuzzJack public decided by majority that one artist per category (Solo Female, Solo Male and Groups) will return to the competition and claim one Gamu Nhengu Gold Card each.The eight eliminated groups will return to perform for the chance to earn their way back into the competition.Once you've listened to all of the groups perform you should complete THIS form, ranking the performances from favourite to least favourite.Voting for The Gamu Nhengu Gold Card is private.For those voting that are competing to regain their place in the competition, you must vote. Failure to vote by a competing group will result in a 33.3% deduction from your final score.For those voting that are one of the top 12 artists already through to Live Shows, you too must also vote. Failure to vote by an artist already through to Live Shows will result in a 30 point deduction from your first Live Show final score.As always, if you're not participating in The Pop Factor with an artist you are more than welcome to vote!When voting closes, the ONE group with the highest score will claim The Gamu Nhengu Gold Card and re-enter the competition for Live Shows.For the other seven, you will sadly be eliminated for good AND your identities will finally be revealed.Voting closes on Friday 30 October 2026, 17:59 GMTReminder: voting is private.

Monday at 18:322 days Two of my all-time favourite songs here in ‘Enjoy the Silence’ and ‘Vienna’… 🥰‘Outro’ closing feels correct *.*
Monday at 18:332 days Dead on arrival back for one last go then. Will give it a chance though, all of the other songs are, of course, brilliant.
Monday at 18:352 days 3 minutes ago, ZombieBoy said:King, Boom x4 and Enjoy the Silence Basically my thoughts too.
Monday at 19:052 days Think we all could have predicted at least half of these choices.Scenes if the Vengabus comes tearing through the DM/Ultravox vote split.
Monday at 21:412 days King, Outro, Vienna, No Ordinary Love, Enjoy The Silence, Boom x4Is this a joke?The most difficult the groups has been so far because omg I don’t know how to put them in order. Even the “I am…” track was promising on first listen.Ouch, well played everyone.
Monday at 22:092 days I have to agree, I've listened to these tonight and I think this is the hardest category with no real obvious stand outs. All the tracks are really good... Well maybe not WhoamIwhatamIhowdoIfinsihthis so much... 🤭... (even that is decent tbf).Edit: I take it back Dead or Alive's mentor F'd up! I legit forgot all about that song. 😂 Edited Monday at 22:152 days by Scary Spiceboy
Yesterday at 08:181 day Have voted, I think this was possibly the most difficult one to do overall... well barring a couple of songs.
Yesterday at 10:581 day It’s a shame YSMR was not chosen by their mentor. It surely would have had a chance. Boom v King is very hard 🤔, for the runner up position 😉!
