The Spotify link provided alongside the song confirmation was for the 1987 version, hence why that's the version that's been included with the YouTube videos. Spotify and AM playlists have been added to the OP (thanks again for providing AM, Lee!)

Ibiza saw us say a sad goodbye to Texas and Zara Larsson, but now the remaining eleven artists are continuing on The Pop Factor's European Adventure, this time arriving in Belgrade for Live Show Three where they're free to unleash whatever songs they want! Belgrade Arena, in Serbia's capital city, will host the artists as they continue the fight for The Pop Factor: Season 3 crown, accompany Shawn Mendes to his mysterious final destination in Europe, and win the grand prize of the €30 Amazon Gift Card! How it works: Once you've listened to all of the artists perform in Live Show Three, you should post your votes in this thread, ranking the performances from favourite to least favourite. Please post a list that states clearly which is your favourite down to least favourite, or use the below format: 01 (favourite) 02 03 04-08 09 10 11 (least favourite) For those voting that are competing in the Live Show, you must vote. Failure to vote by a competing artist will result in a 22 point deduction from your final score. As always, even if you're not competing in The Pop Factor you are more than welcome to vote too - whether you've been an observer from the beginning or your artist has already been eliminated. And, you guessed, that's not all... When voting closes, we'll cross over to the results show where TWO artists will be eliminated, once again, from the competition. The first - the artist with the least points - will be eliminated from the competition immediately. The remaining bottom two artists with the least points will then come face to face with our five judges: Jimmy-Jam Watts, Joanne, Pete the Extension Lead, Veronica Viper and Chris Justkiddin'. They will decide the artist that remains in the competition by majority vote. Voting closes on Saturday 14 November 2026, 17:59 GMT So, without further ado... IT'S TIME TO FACE THE MUSIC! 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 Standard list of entries: Sam Smith - I'm Not Here to Make Friends Fun Boy Three & Bananarama - It Ain't What You Do It's the Way That You Do It Kate Bush - Army Dreamers New Order - Temptation Adele - Send My Love (To Your New Lover) Sam Fender - Spit of You Fontaines D.C. - I Love You MARINA - Homewrecker Depeche Mode - It's No Good Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Mixed Up World Darin - Satellit Apple Music - Web PlayerPop Factor Live Show 3 by Lee Bettinson on Apple MusicPlaylist · 11 Songs

Today is bring your laptop to work day so Live Show Three should be up around lunch time since everybody confirmed quickly x

Jade's time will finally come in Season 7 with Glee Cast

Well the idea is that it draws inspiration from The X Factor, not that it actually is The X Factor every season I try to make sure everybody can actively participate (beyond only voting) in some way or another so the whole community feel involved if they want to be. maggotsforbrains declined the offer to be a judge when I reached out to them and Pete, so Pete was added in as a fifth judge instead of alternating which judges appeared on which Live Show. I wouldn't have felt right just telling Pete to gtf, so adding another judge, meaning we have an overall majority instead of deadlocks that were very prevalent last season, felt like the best thing to do. It's got nothing to do with whether anybody has pop or alt leaning tastes x

The first hand experience listening to all of Rob's decoy methods and the lengths he went to to avoid detection was peak entertainment I can't lie MVP x

I do feel awful about this sorry! The judging panel would have alternated if it wasn't just Pete that accepted the invitation, so here's a sneak peek at what could have been

I have to apologise to the judges for giving them a pointless exercise this afternoon when I started panicking

Round 10: Live Show Two in Ibiza Results

FOR THE TOP 11 ARTISTS CONFIRM YOUR SONG CHOICE FOR LIVE SHOW THREE HERE BY 17:59 TOMORROW There is NO theme for Live Show Three - free choice!

Texas and Zara Larsson, sadly it wasn't meant to be and you've been eliminated from the competition. But before you leave us, it's time to reveal your IDENTITIES... was mentored by... @RobBot Well, the mask is finally OFF! Could Zara really have been anybody else? There was an incredible amount of deflection taking place all season long with Rob hiding behind the guise of several artists and some people genuinely believing he could have been Darin; his debut in Season 2 of The Pop Factor with Eric Saade certainly meant it wasn't completely outside the realms of possibility. Rob's done absolutely brilliantly to keep everybody second-guessing, as well as showcasing Zara well and playing the long game trying to reserve her big hitters for the late stages of the competition. Zara ended up eliminated from the competition at Judges' Houses but thanks to Robyn she was thrown a lifeline and returned immediately the following round. Whether you'd consider it a beautiful send-off and tribute to Robyn allowing her a second chance, or The Fatal Curse of Robyn™, at least Rob's achieved his goal of making it to Live Shows with quite volatile scores over the weeks, being in the top half, the bottom half, out, back in the running, then right back at the bottom again! Now ride off into the never-ending midnight sun... and come back for the win in Season 4? Zara Larsson in The Pop Factor: Season 3 Round 1: The Room Auditions in Rotterdam - Love Me Land (11th, 202 points) Round 2: The Arena Auditions in Amsterdam - Ain't My Fault (7th, 237 points) Round 3: Boot Camp: Part One in Barcelona - Blue Moon (6th, 228 points) Round 4: Boot Camp: Part Two in Bratislava - Can't Tame Her (4th, 215 points) Round 5: The Six Chair Challenge in Szczecin - Symphony (Clean Bandit feat. Zara Larsson) [CHAIR] Round 6: Judges' Houses: Part One in Jungfrau - Never Forget You (with MNEK) [6th, 84 points] Round 7: Judges' Houses: Part Two in Helsinki - DJ Made Me Do (4th, 100 points) Round 9: Live Show One in Budapest - All the Time (5th, 337 points) Round 10: Live Show Two in Ibiza - Puss Puss (Girls Trip) [with Robyn] (OUT) and... were mentored by... @gooddelta Rich is another one that has managed to go largely undetected for most of the competition - or at least there's been a lot of different theories about who could actually be behind Texas! And what a wonderful job you've done with them, Rich! As I already mentioned in the comments alongside my votes this week, it's surprising just how many bangers Texas have that I and others weren't actually aware are by them, so to hear them in the competition and for you to showcase them so meticulously as you have done... bravo. I feel it's a massive shame you're out now, too, because really you haven't put a foot wrong and at the same time you certainly haven't played it safe, taking some major risks when you wanted to but always being so consistent week in, week out when the scores have been revealed and topping it more than once. Although Rich made it to the Semi Final in Season 2 with Delta Goodrem, to make it to Live Shows two seasons in a row is a great achievement! They can take our place in The Pop Factor, but they'll never take our FREEDOM! Texas in The Pop Factor: Season 3 Round 1: The Room Auditions in Rotterdam - When We Are Together (2nd, 309 points) Round 2: The Arena Auditions in Amsterdam - I Don't Want a Lover (1st, 304 points) Round 3: Boot Camp: Part One in Barcelona - Like Lovers (Holding On) [3rd, 233 points] Round 4: Boot Camp: Part Two in Bratislava - Black Eyed Boy (1st, 279 points) Round 5: The Six Chair Challenge in Szczecin - Inner Smile (CHAIR) Round 6: Judges' Houses: Part One in Jonava - Summer Son (1st, 185 points) Round 7: Judges' Houses: Part Two in Hvar - Another Way to Cry (4th, 110 points) Round 9: Live Show One in Budapest - Halo (10th, 291 points) Round 10: Live Show Two in Ibiza - Mr Haze (GBX & Paul Keenan Remix) [OUT]
