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.

Even more reason to say no then x

No

And we have a full house! Stay tuned, 19:30

Thanks @dandy* for clarifying there Also, @AllStarBySmashMouth I'd imagine very little thought went into it (not sure if uhsting's even aware of / been keeping up with this!), screenshots below so people can see timings etc

Joanne for me too ~

Jonjo actually had no idea who he was against, all he knew about was the twist itself

@-Jay- and @Jack 4 hours left to confirm your choices here!

Round 4: Battleground Results Apologies for the delay, got distracted playing Fortnite last night

@seven. @-Jay- @Last Dreamer @Lukuzz @AllStarBySmashMouth @Herbs @Mangø @Dj Cheeky magpie @Ansel @Jack @jimwatts @Jade @Spiceboy @Brer @Tafty CONFIRM YOUR GOLDEN WAGNER SONG CHOICE HERE You have until 18:59 tomorrow, 18th June, to confirm to be in with a chance of returning to The Pop Factor!

I almost cried when uhsting sent me the list back and saw I was paired with Xtina... but excited to be able to showcase one more song of Damiano's for the Golden Wagner! Personally very sad to have lost Addison and Enrique there and I wouldn't have pegged Charlie to be the last man standing, but g'won!

As I said earlier this evening, it was a random draw. @uhsting was given the list of 16 artists and sent me back a randomised version of the list with each pair assigned based on that list (1 with 2, 3 with 4, etc).

The final eight artists through to Live Shows are: A-ha Avril Lavigne Charlie Puth Christina Aguilera Ellie Goulding Mary J. Blige Pet Shop Boys The Saturdays And for now, you can rest. Take some time to consider your next move before the Live Shows begin, because there's some business to attend to before they kick off! The power of The Golden Wagner is now UP FOR GRABS! Shortly, all of the eliminated artists will be invited to confirm their song choice to bring them back into the competition as the ninth wildcard act in Live Shows. Only one eliminated artist will return to the competition. Full results for Battleground will follow shortly too.

The eighth and final artist safe and through to Live Shows is... which means that very unfortunately, the final act eliminated from the competition is...

And finally... The closest-fought and final duel on the Battleground... With so little points between them, more ups and downs and back and forth and switching of positions than Ariana Grande on steroids... Enrique Iglesias vs. The Saturdays...

In times like these you need a miracle... The penultimate artist through to Live Shows is... which means that sadly eliminated from the competition is...

Loading the next result... and it's bad news as James Blake is eliminated from the competition. Good news for one artist though, because the sixth act through to Live Shows is...

Not only working from home, but eliminated from the competition and heading home for good if they don't get their hands on The Golden Wagner is... but while Fifth Harmony chase Camila Cabello through the Battleground as she storms off, the fifth artist through to Live Shows is...

Living in a lot of the voters' heads rent-free, Pet Shop Boys are the fourth act through to Live Shows! which means, eliminated from the competition, we say goodbye to their opponent...

Next up, we have the Italian stallion Damiano David... who tried his best, but found himself up against the ultimate fighter The third act through to Live Shows is... which means Damiano David has been eliminated from the competition.

Leaving the competition first tonight, Avril Lavigne's opponent was... and joining Elton John on the not very yellow brick road home, Mary J. Blige's opponent was...

The winner of Battleground and the first artist safely through to Live Shows is... and with the joint top score! Which means the two artists that were battling against Avril Lavigne and Mary J. Blige will be eliminated...
