I must be blind then, 'cos I can't see any comments relating to anyone and I still have no real idea who is behind any of the artists

The Pop Factor: Season 2 • Live Show One
Yep - though I think it's better if I don't name the song. I was gonna mention this to @Calum after the contest but I don't know if suggesting songs unfairly infleunces things? i.e. if lots of people say they would rank a particular song highly if it's picked then picking that song gives them an unfair advantage I think. But maybe I'm overthinking it!

There's one Conan song which will be absolutely unbeatable for me. Really hope it gets its moment in the next round!

BTS - ARIRANG
Just listened to this album. Absolutely terrible, 'Swim' is passable I suppose but not one good song on it other than that!

Jungle - Sunshine
Hasn't really grabbed me on first listen.

Really hard to call who could be in danger in this round, the results are so varied!

The Pop Factor: Season 2 • THE FINAL RESULTS
Personally I think the rule should be that any artist who has been eliminated by going up against Abba should be immediately allowed back in to the competition 😇

I don't know what that means but I wouldn't categorise it as a bop of any kind x

I might just have to do that out of sheer desperation!

Buzzjack's Ultimate UK Number 8 Single - The Final - Results
Another two classics lost there in 'Bat Out Of Hell' and 'Wonderful Life'. I've never heard anything else by Black, I should probably seek something out. Blink-182 have made some bangers in their time but for some reason I never properly took to 'I Miss You', it just lacks something for me. It's not a bad song but it's not one I'd ever rush to play.

He's not for everyone but he does have a few tunes (not necessarily this one though)

The Pop Factor: Season 2 • Live Show One
My votes are in! 1 ABBA - Super Trouper (another classic from the act I wanted to send, grrr) 2 Conan Gray - Maniac (great pop song, first song I ever heard of his and still love it) 3 Scissor Sisters - She’s My Man (a highlight of their discography) 4 Lily Allen - Madeline (one of the best on the album for sure, but too recent to go against that classic top 3) 5 HAIM - If I Could Change Your Mind 6 The Corrs - Irresistible 7 David Bowie - Ashes to Ashes 8 Atomic Kitten - Be With You 9 Chappell Roan - Red Wine Supernova 10 Nelly Furtado - Big Hoops (Bigger the Better) 11 Delta Goodrem - Believe Again (this is a great song but I only discovered it relatively recently so it hasn't really had time to cement itself in my affections yet, compared to the songs above which I've known for much longer) 12 Troye Sivan - Bloom 13 Kelly Clarkson - Never Again (not one of my favourite Kelly singles, oops) 14 ROSALÍA - PIENSO EN TU MIRÁ - Cap.3: Celos (I liked this more than the last few offerings so at least it's not bottom place) 15 Florence + the Machine - Hurricane Drunk (apologies to whoever sent Florence, she's only got a handful of songs I really like and this isn't one of them)

Buzzjack's Ultimate UK Number 8 Single - The Final - Results
Glad the right version of 'Venus' finished top 30. I can take or leave 'Untouched' these days. 'Jude-arse' is definitely top tier Gaga, I loved how ridiculous and different to anything else it sounded at the time! Admittedly I don't return to it that often (sorry but 'The Edge Of Glory' is untouchable from that era), but I definitely still appreciate its quality.

The Pop Factor: Season 2 • Live Show One
I was wondering if 'Maniac' would be popping up for Conan, that was the first song I heard by him and it's a cracker! I think I have a good idea of one of the acts that will be eliminated based on these songs but I'll keep my thoughts to myself for now. @Spiceboy is gonna be gutted he's missing out on the return of The Rogue Trader!

The Pop Factor: Season 2 • THE FINAL RESULTS
I was agonising between 'Save Your Tears' and 'I Feel It Coming' but in the end I went for the latter, as there'd been some love for it in the thread already. I'm not sure 'Save Your Tears' would have fared better but as you say, we'll never know!
