Calum

Hopefully silence can be maintained until the Live Show kicks off though x

Well yes that's the point

Can also exclusively confirm that the recipient of the Tesco Mary Live Shows Pass has now been informed and will be making their song choice in secret and performing in the first Live Show!

Can exclusively confirm that the first Live Show will be one single elimination

We have a full house with all 24 participants voting, and we have a good number of non-participant votes too! The power of The Golden Wagner has been claimed. You'll have to wait until the first Live Show to find out who BuzzJack has voted for to return to the competition though. In the meantime: @awardinary @Addy! @JosephBoone @vibe @Scene @HarryGarfield @King Rollo @Bjork You have until 18:59 tomorrow (22nd June) to confirm your song choice for the first Live Show HERE!

@Brer @seven. @HarryGarfield @-Jay- @Herbs @JosephBoone @AllStarBySmashMouth ^ still to vote! Deadline is 18:59 tonight! It is very close at the top so everything could change once these votes have been cast 👀

Tracklist has been confirmed and it was hardly worth keeping it secret what the Ariana mixes are

Wanted Man. That is all what an absolute BANGER Not a single skip to be found here. He's done it again Young American Heart's an amazing closer too in much the same way as What Do You Want.

Well I wasn't expecting a Stayin' Alive sample (hadn't read anything about the single prior) I do feel like they're losing their mojo a bit as a trio after such a brilliant return with Happiness Begins. This is pretty decent but I want another proper banger or GIVE US ANOTHER SOLO ALBUM NICK

Looks like: Sweet Save Us Drums Ariana (whatever mix it is) Roses Butterflies Ariana (whatever remix it is) going by the teaser they’ve posted!

Very surprised and happy it’s not just a quick 5 track EP (albeit with an Ariana remix but I’ll take it x)! Looking forward to it, Sweet is still sounding amazing

Would rather not for this round just so the identity of the winner can remain as top secret as possible until the Live Shows 🤫

Can I go back in time and not do that twist to save Enrique? Will be sad to lose him if he doesn't win this because it's been bop after bop imo :( likewise with Fifth Harmony and Addison. The Louise song is a bop though, gave it a listen earlier (also I just worked out the average age of the top 8 (assuming the highest age for the groups) and at 48.375 BuzzJack stans oldies confirmed x)

Over four rounds of The Pop Factor we've sadly said goodbye to sixteen artists, three of whom only had one chance to perform for the BuzzJack public before being shown the door. But now, with a special power up for grabs, they could be swinging back into the competition and heading straight to Live Shows to join the top 8; Avril Lavigne, Mary J. Blige, Christina Aguilera, Ellie Goulding, Charlie Puth, Pet Shop Boys, A-ha and The Saturdays. How it works: AI RitaBot 3000 escaped the Battleground by teleport completely unscathed to make her way here to tell us how The Power of The Golden Wagner will work. All sixteen eliminated artists will return to perform for the chance to earn their way back into The Pop Factor. Once you've listened to all of the contestants perform you should complete THIS form stating your three (and only three!) favourite performances. Each time an artist is voted for in the top three of one person's votes they will be given one (1) Golden Wagner coin. The artist that receives the most coins when voting closes and therefore generates the power of The Golden Wagner will be taken to the vault where they will use them to redeem... The Tesco Mary Live Shows Pass! For those voting that are competing to regain their place in the competition, you must still vote but you cannot vote for your own entry. Failure to vote by a competing contestant will result in three Golden Wagner coin deduction from your final tally. For those voting that are one of the top 8 artists through to Live Shows, you too must also vote. Failure to vote by a top 8 contestant will result in an 18 point deduction from your first Live Shows final score. As always, if you aren't participating as a contestant in The Pop Factor you are more than welcome to cast your vote too! When voting closes, only the ONE artist with The Tesco Mary Live Shows Pass will re-enter the competition and their identity will not be revealed until the first Live Show begins. For the other fifteen, you will be gone for good. Voting will close on Saturday 21 June 2025, 18:59 BST 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 No official YouTube video available, please revert to Spotify playlist to listen to SASAMI's performance 13 14 15 16 Standard list of entries: WALK THE MOON - Iscariot Fifth Harmony feat.
