Why did Kylie and Rita Ora get more time and effort than Kelly Clarkson?

Myself and alot of others that I've read noticed Kylie and Rita Ora had massive guest slots on tonight's show and Kelly had a silly video montage that showed all far away shots and no VT beginning or talking ending parts for her performance, I found this disrespectful, Kelly is the best thing that's ever came from a reality TV show who has made it worldwide and is still around 10 years later and only a few days ago was nominated for 4 Grammy Awards for next year, You would think they would at least give her the same treatment..

Because Kylie is a so called "legend" and Rita is flavour of the month.

I do prefer Kelly over the pair of them though

Who knows, but she still sounds great. Not my thing most of the time, but the girl can sing.

TBF, Kelly didn't seem to be putting on a real effort as well. Yes her vocals were good. They always are. There was something lacking for me from her and I'm a big fan of hers. May be it has to do w/ rehearsal time. May be Kylie and Rita had more time to prepare a bigger number.

She belted them both out of the water, she deserved more screen time but she was great nontheless!

I actually forgot she was singing for a moment Though Kelly was probably the best tonight. Rita was f*cking awful! Kylie, I dunno I zoned out. I zoned out a lot tonight

I think it's because she normally interacts with the audience during this song it was a bit subdued but she made up for it at the end!

Kelly was just meant to be the backing music for the series highlights. I don't think they should have shown her so much, I wanted too see the video running in the background

I remember they did the same on US X Factor last year with Leona. But even worse, they showed most of the montage full screen (not just in the background). It was like Leona was just an inconvenience and they didn't really want her there.

Kelly was just singing as the highlights were played out..Leona didn't get a VT either if I remember correctly,when she sang over the highlights a few years back

I think Kelly had an off night. It's one of her weakest hits anyway, but she's capable of so much more than that.

Westlife, the 2011 montage singers, didn't get a VT either.

And kylie was the only one who got to plug her album, but lets face it she's the biggest name of the 3 so that may have been one of the terms of her appearing

Dermot didn't speak to her the last time she was on either, it's very odd.

kellys performance was really lackluster, her vocals were perfect but i dont know, it just seemed as though there was absolutely no atmosphere...

Kellys performance was pretty meh I thought. She's got a brilliant voice, but that was a pretty weak song choice, and she didn't really do much. It was a waste. Wasn't fair that Rita Ora got to sing a full on medley of 'hits'
