Honey G performed on the X Factor final and people were not happy

Whitney Houston, Beyonce… er, Honey G? Yes, in an unprecedented move, Saturday night’s X Factor final saw the return of one of this year’s ejected contestants as a guest performer, with Honey G taking to the stage to promote her new album.

And many viewers were pretty unimpressed…

Why was a non-finalist performing in the final, they asked?

Why on earth is #honeyG performing at the final!!??? As she is not a finalist!! Plus she is just doing what she done before ???????????????????????????? #xfactor

Why did she have a single out before the actual finalists?

It's absolutely disgusting that #honeyg was allowed to perform on the #xfactorfinal AND have a single before the winner even does #XFactor ????

What does that say about Simon Cowell and the X Factor’s commitment to the eventual winner?

How is #honeyg allowed to release a single against the winner? It Shows they aren't committed to this years winner #XFACTOR #xfactorfinal

And is Honey G really the calibre of star an X Factor final deserves anyway?

#HoneyG performing in the final is not OK she is not a star, she was voted out, they bring her back as an artist? #XFactor #Bollocks

A few years ago Xfactor had guest singers such as Beyoncé and Whitney Houston… this year we have #HoneyG ?#xfactorfinal #xfactor

Then again, you might say the same thing about Madness…
