Viewers tuning in to the Strictly Come Dancing results show were not impressed by musical act Kylie Minogue as she took to the stage to perform her new Christmas single titled simply Xmas. The 57-year-old music legend’s track was branded a flop of the pops as the pro dancers accompanied her with an upbeat routine.
Taking to X to vent about the moment one wrote: “No wonder all the other music acts have been s*** this season (apart from Steps) so they could pay for Kylie. C*** song anyway…way too repetitive.” Another agreed adding: “That Christmas song from Kylie is a bit irritating.” A third chimed in: “Sorry Kylie, this song is s*** and annoying. #Xmas You’re looking great though.” A fourth predicted: “Unless you listen to Radio 2, you will never hear that Kylie Christmas song ever again.” A fifth raged: “I’m tired of pretending that Kylie can sing. Sorry.”
