Katy Perry failed to impress television viewers with her performance on The X Factor live final at London's Wembley Arena on Sunday night

It was supposed to be an evening that showcased the best of British vocal talent.
But Katy Perry failed to impress television viewers with her performance on The X Factor live final at London's Wembley Arena on Sunday night.
The 29-year-old singer well and truly lit up the stage in a grand finale that was distinctly lacking glamour, as she plunged down from the ceiling of the iconic venue in a giant cage.

Going for gold: Katy Perry failed to impress television viewers with her performance on The X Factor live final at London's Wembley Arena on Sunday night

Surrounded by a troupe of dancers, the pop megastar showcased her incredible figure in a skimpy ensemble that saw her dressed as a winged gold bird as she belted out her smash hit, Unconditionally.

Strutting her stuff in merely a skimpy gold bejewelled bustier with dramatic feather detail at the shoulders, the star adorned her raven locks with a Grecian-inspired gold leaf headband.
Katy completed her striking winged and feather enemble with a pair of racy fishnet stockings and skyscraper heels, and injected a bolt of colour to her perfect porcelain skin with a slick of vampy berry lipstick.

But while the Californian starlet certainly impressed with her attention-grabbing look, her vocals weren't quite so highly-praised by television viewers, who flocked to Twitter to slate her performance.
One user on the micro-blogging site wrote: 'Katy p should have learnt her lesson from last time and MiMED.'
Another fumed: 'What number do we call to vote Katy Perry off?'

Not impressed: Television viewers flocked to Twitter to slate the singer's performance

'I don't think Katy Perry would make it through week one on the basis of this performance. Awful #xfactor,' one viewer pointed out.

Echoing the sentiment, another X Factor fan wrote on Twitter: 'Wouldn't even get to Judges Houses. #XFactor.'
Even Katy's most loyal fans didn't seem too dazzled by her vocal talents on the night, with one writing: 'After hearing that, it is a good job she's pretty is all I will say. #xfactor.'

'How do we vote her off?' Twitter users seemed to be less than impressed with the pop megastar's performance

Winged wonder: There's no denying Katy brought some welcome glamour to the stage with her stunning performance

Another added: 'Will the person who stole Katy Perry's great singing voice and replaced it with a flat, scratchy mess, stand up please... #xfactor.'
'I like Katy Perry but tonight she is hurting my eyes and ears #XFactorFinal,' one fan exclaimed.
The X Factor final also featured performances from One Direction, the X Factor finalists and an exclusive duet between show judge Gary Barlow and musical legend, Sir Elton John.
