It will be nice to see him again... for 5 minutes before he gets sent home again. 🤭

So you're still in then? Sophie! 😏 I keep submitting songs in the hope Calum will bring me back!

I've had a listen to everything too... tbf I thought every round was really strong. Based on song choices alone this is how I would likely have judged were I one... Females Kate Sophie Marina (actually really shocked me to rank her so high as I haven't really been blown away by her so far) Robyn Zara Agnes Adele Leona I feel really gutted for Leona but she would have been my last place vote. Adele would also have likely left compared to the above choices with Agnes scraping through, would have felt very wrong sending her home though. All the songs are really strong tbf, the Leona one is lovely but the only slight weak link for me. Males Sam Smith (this is probably my ultimate fave Sam song!) Calvin Gary (brilliant, loved this - and he would have been my danger act too so a fab choice) Darin Tom Sam Fender Damien HRVY The HRVY one did nothing for me personally, and the Damien one neither tbh. The top 6 I really enjoyed and I loved the top 4 so I would have made the same choices. Groups Bananarama (this and I want you back are my favourite Bananrama songs so nothing was going to beat that) Texas Depeche Mode Years & Years Fontaines DC New Order Iamamiwhoami Sade Again I liked all the songs in this category tbf and I thought this was possibly the strongest of all the categories and really none deserved to go. Sade and Iamamiwhoami would have suffered though sadly, although I will say I think that was Iamamiwhoami's best submission so far.

Tbf Iz did say that Adele was in real danger of going for that reason but the song choice sent did save her as he ended up quite liking it so I guess the right Leona / Agnes songs could have had the same result for them. Have a read of their thinking a few pages back, it's really interesting actually, you can see all the thought that went into it. I'm gutted for Leona, she deserved more in her career and more in Pop Factor! 💔

You stole my comment 😭🤣

We love you for it. 🥰

Thanks. I asked because I only realised last night that the ones on the main page are not necessarily of all time! Learnt something new! 😮❤️ Also aaargh you quoted me before I edited my “tag” into “that” 😂😭

So would that be their current top 10 or of all time @Calum ?

Oh I totally missed these, will check them out shortly, really interested to read their thoughts too.

I don’t see an issue with the collabs at all so long as the singer is the main singer (or one of if its a duet). I do think if We found love was (or is) entered during the category rounds it would have (or will) really stretched the boundaries and I’ll find it hard to rank that solely based on the song in that it’s essentially a female artist in the Male category. I found that with the Tinashe entry but then I really didn’t like the song anyway so it was always going to be towards the bottom of my list. Whether I will feel the same if it is entered during the live rounds where it’s not categories I’m not sure really, feels a bit more like free game then. Calvin otherwise has played it really well, great song choices and him actually singing. Tinashe aside, I’ve really enjoyed and respected their mentor’s choices. I think Years & Years getting booted out for being a feature while other acts got a pass felt a bit awkward, but then that is likely just one of the reasons for booting them out. Would be so interesting to read the other judges thoughts, I found @Iz様 🌟’s fascinating to read. It really shows how much pressure it actually is to make the decision, I don’t envy them it, I would have really struggled. At the end of the day, it’s just a fun game on a forum and I think we all get a bit too over invested, as long as the host is happy with what’s submitted then quite frankly my opinion matters, none at all. 🙈🤭

I meant for me personally! 😅

I'm not gonna lie, that song is going to be a MASSIVE contender for #1 spot in the GAMU round for it!

That was very eloquent. Sounds like you really took it seriously. ❤️

🫂 NO! Was it you!?!? 😭

Wow I was NOT expecting that AT ALL! 🫨

What a choice from Sophie!

Bleeding love or Run are both going to be a huge threat in the GAMU round surely?

RIGHT!? 🤔😂

All I ask indeed.

Not familiar with that Robyn song, but see it's another feature! 🧐

That is a brave choice for Leona, I thought they would submit Happy or Run! Good luck to her mentor.

Years & Years being booted out for being a feature and her staying would be interesting for sure...

omg no way Kate is going out with that! What a choice!

What over Uncle Ben? 🫢
