Paloma, 42, looked incredible as she writhed around on stage in a low-cut shredded dress.
But at one point the singing sensation whacked her head into glass as part of her gala performance for Prince William and Kate who were sat in the royal box.
And fans were very distracted by the star's voice, and her moves.
One moaned about the mum-of-two: "Love Paloma Faith but my god how obvious was that miming!?"

Another hit out: "Yes she mimed the chorus but she was thrashing her head about & through a window."
"Never thought I'd see Paloma Faith headbutt a pane of glass in a mocked-up bus shelter," another said.
And one more teased: "Paloma Faith took a leaf out of the @LondonDungeon books for that performance."
The show - hosted by Bradley Walsh - ended with a performance from superstar Cher.

She also faced the wrath of viewers who were unhappy to see her "pretending to sing" live.
Cher, 77, treated viewers to a rendition of her festive single, DJ Play a Christmas Song, but those sharing feedback on social media insisted she was lip-syncing too.
One said: "She cant even mime in time to her own song, I love Cher but if ya gonna bring new music out at sing live."
A second ranted: "Come on Cher, bit of an insult to mime your way through a live show."
Meanwhile, someone else said: "Hats off to Mel C. She was amazing shame Paloma Faith and Cher chose to mime."
And another praised: "Thank God for Rick Astley! true pro! Never needed to mime with that voice!"
