Oh loooool I got it so wrong then, you’re Zara!!! 😂😂😂

Oh dear god! 😂

Me too!! Other than guessing at you I’m keeping quiet now! 🤣

Rob is 200% Zara for me. I noticed he was the only one to ask if they could submit a song not on Spotify and then the only one to actually do it… my most sure guess of them all! Me too!! Other than guessing at you I’m keeping quiet now! 🤣 Oh dear god! 😂

Haha I laughed so much at this! 😂

Oh in that case… keep him! That answer was brilliant 😂 I laughed when I saw it, but in terms of the game… not so much 🤭

This was such a pleasure to read, so well put! ❤️ Well done for getting to the lives again!

It’s me and @Lee_J that are besties here, there’s a new Matthew in town so budge over! 😎 Oh we all know… “I’d do anything for love” 🤨🤣 (I loved it though, so funny)

Omg don't put that idea in my head! 🫢 We shall see what happens next.

He didn't? That is hilarious, I'm NEVER going to let him live that down. 😂🤣 I bet a few more people had a similar idea really. 🤭

Oh wow, I won!!! 😮 SO glad I changed my what is better to do on a laptop than on the phone answer, I'll let @matto decide whether to reveal it, I thought it might be too naughty for BuzzJack in the end. Sorry I haven't commented properly Mattias, I've had a really busy night but I've been watching in the background. Great job hosting, thank you so much. ❤️

Have to be honest, I'm not keen on this round. As a deaf person I tend to hate clubby music and remixes, it all just sounds like noise to me. Will probably need to space the listening sessions out for these ones and likely won't be giving many (if any) repeated listens. I wonder if the remixes have to be "clubby / bangers" remixes what about like orchestral remixes? And are just upbeat songs in general ok?

Utterly loved getting to know you and trying to guess who you were! 😂 So it was Tom not a pop girlie afterall! I think you played a great game, I loved your recent entry, gutted you went out on it. ❤️ Thanks for the shoutout, you've been a highlight of all this for me too. ☺️ 🫂 Now...

1. Marina - I've not really got the love for Marina so far I'll admit, but this song is amazing!! Thank you to their mentor for exposing me to it, I loved loved loved it. [FAVE] 2. Kate - This is my favourite Kate Bush song, I thought it was guaranteed to be #1 when I saw the list, very close and on a different day probably could have been. 3. Tom - I don't get why people don't like this, it's so good? Hope it can make it through we need more of sexy Tom's voice. 4. Darin - The revelation of the series, I have actually been seeking out his back catalogue as a result of this contest so thank you to whoever his mentor is! 5. Bananarama - A classic, this not being top 2 is a testament to how excellent this round is! 6. Sam S - I love Sam's voice on this, they sound divine and it's a smooth bop! 7. Adele - Her best song off 30 in my opinion, a strong choice! 8. Sophie - This is probably my favourite Sophie song so for it to be 8th is just wild! Really shows how much I enjoyed these songs. 9. Zara - Another great song, one of the best I've heard from Zara in this contest! 10. Texas - Again I genuinely cannot believe I am putting this song in 10th, in most other rounds it would have been an easy top 5! Great song! 11. Sam F - Really enjoyed this, just not quite as much as the above ones but again, really good choice. 12. Depeche Mode - I listened to this a few times and it grew on me the more I listened to it so with more time it could actually rate higher but for now it didn't quite beat Sam F. 13. Gary - I loved his last entry with Cars, what a fantastic song. I didn't dislike this but I'm not sure I'd listen to it again. 14. New Order - This one didn't do anything for me sadly, sorry to their mentor. 15. Fontaines DC - Same as the New Order one, again sorry to their mentor! [LEAST FAVE]

I apologise if my post came across as "spiteful", it certainly wasn't intended that way. I was simply raising what I felt was a valid point going forward for other members. That section I brought up in the original post did also feel somewhat indirectly aimed at me, considering it came the day after said incident, if I'm being honest, although I'm sure that wasn't the intention. Since you've brought it up, I am not happy with the outcome, but I said I accepted it, and I do. I do, however, think it is unfair that you are now saying you did not accuse me of that, when it is quite clear in the message, having re-read it. I also feel that the same accusation is still being made in your latest message. I can't help but feel that perhaps this is why you chose not to address my explanation, because you simply don't believe me. That's your prerogative, of course, but I did explain my side, and I'm happy to send you screenshots if you feel that would help. My original message was not intended as an attack, but rather to raise something I felt could be handled more kindly in future, that's all. I really did not need to be told it only served to make me look bad (with the You in Italliacs, maybe we just disagree on how that comes across). I apologise that it came across that way, though. I can see how it has done, and I'm sorry for that. On reflection I can see the "baseless" accusations bit wasn't needed, I am still angry about that claim on me, which I disagree with, considering I have more evidence than you do for the claim you "suggested" against me. That was an error on my part. I also like you very much, and always have done. This doesn't change that on my side.

I think having different categories is a good idea. Personally, I would never report a comment simply because I was “ok with it, but I would like to be able to bring something to the moderators' attention.” I would just like to make a point about multiple reporting, without taking away from the message that it shouldn't be encouraged. I don't think people will be making multiple reports to deliberately "abuse" the system, but rather because something has genuinely bothered, upset or shocked them. My recommendation to all moderators would be to approach these situations with sensitivity, rather than lecturing people about how they are making themselves look "bad". I appreciate that the issue may need to be addressed, but it can be done in a way that doesn't make the original poster feel worse, particularly when they may already be unhappy or distressed by whatever prompted them to report in the first place. I would also add that where false accusations are made by moderators in these messages, such as “encouraging others to report said comment,” and the person receiving them responds by explaining why those accusations are incorrect, an apology or acknowledgement should follow. After all, making "baseless" accusations is not appropriate either, is it?

I have to say I think is one of the best of all the rounds we have had so far, I am listening to all the songs and so far I really love all but 3. A few of them are the strongest songs for acts that have been sent so far! ❤️ Excellent play!

Oh I love Glassheart, would deffo have been high for me! 🥰

Never suspected you for Years & Years although I did have an inkling you would go for a group this time to complete the set! ❤️ So eloquently put as usual expressing your obvious disappointment with real grace Jay. As you know I always aspire to be more like you, I think the world would be a much better place if we all had your way with words. 🥰 Well done on the contest, I adore Sunlight and felt it was a real shame for you to go out on that song. As you said it’s the way the cookie crumbles and, you made the last two lives from a Gamu round so not got too much sympathy! 🤣 🫂

We won’t change him! 😉

So I’m guessing @HausofAvaMax is Joanne with that Gaga inspired look! 👀

That’s a great idea Pads. Also I have never seen you post anything that isn’t kind and thoughtful. ❤️

I think I may have been one of the people to say I didn’t rate Tove Lo’s choice that week, I apologise sincerely if I made you feel deflated at all. If it is any consolation, I think that in the previous two versions of Pop Factor, that song choice would have seen you through safely it was just a very competitive category this time. Your feelings are so valid and you raise a great point so, sorry! ❤️ Thank you for making such a brave post. ❤️

Naya Flesh Mocha Alik (The thee / thou was hilarious lol 😂) KY (Saw his true mean character, so glad he is gone)

What does it want? 😂 Honestly SO excited for this, it's the thing I most looking forward to watching, she is just brilliant! 🥰
