How low must the ratings fall before they call it a day

Not surprising really with the poor standard of the finalist.

Ratings are deceptive in the world of catch up and recording live TV.
Not great numbers by any means but I'd say the total figure would at least be closer to 7-8 million Strictly/I'm A Celeb/Bake Off/Planet Earth still own their ass though |

Next year, Simon Cowell just needs to put 12 incredible singers through to the live shows.
Treat all the finalists like they could be a winner and let the public decide (exactly like how they did with Pop Idol series 1). If the talent is sky high next year, word of mouth will get the viewing figures up. Look at how popular Saara has become since Disco Week. If all contestants delivered that quality of vocal performance each week then the public would love it. Instead we get 5AM, Honey G, Dumb & Dumber and people wonder why Planet Earth II is getting double the viewers? Makes perfect sense to me. More talent = more viewers. |

I think in general, people are watching less live TV these days than they did in lets say, 2010. The introduction of catch up services and things like Netflix has really took off in the last few years, so I'm really not too surprised by that number.

On the plus side, over 1 million watched in Finland. Seems proportionally, it's much more popular over there now that it is here.

Don't forget many people might be watching these shows too on catch up services, but they're still pulling in nearly double the viewers each weekend. |

Well The Voice will be coming on soon, so we will see what kind of audience that attracts.
and the fact that they will not interact with anyone they do not turn for, will turnoff viewers further. |

Ihave a feeling that the viewing figures may be quite good actually especially with someone as good as Jennifer Hudson on the panel rather the jokers that we have on XF

If people in the UK don't know who Jennifer Hudson is then they are not really into music IMO.

So are you telling me my parents are not really into music? Because my dad loves singers like Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Dean Martin but wouldn't know who J-Hud is. Just because you know who she is, doesn't mean half the UK population will too. |
