Last year, one X Factor contestant stood out from the rest for her raw talent and undeniable star quality…

OK. Not quite. But Honey G was the name on everyone's lips thanks to the 139314 different controversies, fixing scandals surrounding her involvement in the show and for just being an all-round LEGEND.
