The duets on last night’s X Factor are being accused of being ‘low budget’.
Last night’s edition of X Factor saw Louis Tomlinson perform an emotional tribute to his recently deceased mother Johannah.
The 24-year-old sang his debut single, Just Hold On with the aid of DJ Steve Aoki but was seen tearing up on stage after his performance.

Apart from Louis’ incredibly brave performance, it seems the ‘celebrity’ duets part of the show really fell flat with X Factor fans.
We saw Saara Aalto duet with Adam Lambert, while 5 After Midnight sing with Louisa Johnson and Clean Bandit and lastly, Matt Terry sang with his mentor… Nicole Scherzinger.
Fans took to Twitter to speak out about the calibre of musical guests the show’s inevitable budget cuts could only afford, with many reminiscing back to the glory days when Rihanna and Beyoncé sang with finalists on the show.
What is with the X Factor budget? Duets with last years winner and this year's judge! Maybe they're still paying off Beyoncé from 2008 🤔
