Some interesting observations (mine) about last nite's AI. It would have had lower ratings no matter what, I watched part of the previous nite, and it was horrible. The contestants weren't very good, and the overall production was marginal. So I think people thought why waste 2 hours the following evening. It was interesting to see that JLo huddled very closely to Harry C. for most of the broadcast. Jlo spoke a lot, and Harry did more theatrics than judging, which gave Adam very little time to comment. Jlo was constantly looking at Harry, and the two talking while contestants were singing was rude. I think JLo is totally intimidated by Adam, his professionalism, which caused her to up her game fortunately. I think she is so intimidated by his beauty, his knowledge, and talent, and his general charm, wit and musical knowledge. She huddled to Harry for safeness and comfort. Maybe she also was shocked at the fact he was more honest with the contestants, and said no to a lot more than she would have. I think Adam significantly upped the ante, which was good. I loved the way he really listened to each contestant and gave them their opportunity. This show is on it's way down and the headline of blaming Adam for last nite's low rating is laughable. the ratings will go further down next week and they'll blame it on something or someone else... I know some of us are super sensitive (lord knows I am), but what really matters is the exposure to another 10 Mil folks and whatever $$$s he got for the two days work. The whole thing was full of win! Actually I wonder what the $$$s were...not that we'll ever know... |

Idol on you tube isn't going to help their ratings either.
Thing is, we don't know what the ratings would have been w/o Adam last night. Every show has gone down since the season opener. And as someone mentioned, Wed was soooooooo bad! Guessing some people just didn't return for Thursday.

Heck they could have every single pop star on the planet judging woulden't make a difference. The format of tv is changing. Broadcast TV is just not pulling the numbers any more. Tbh the only show that is still pulling big numbers is The Big Bang Theory and The Walking Dead. Both phenomenas though. Idol is not pulling 30 mill like it did around 2005-2009. But all tv viewership is down by about 5-6% this year. The future is digital and streaming. Idol however was still #1 in the 18-34 Demographic. |

I would think that to keep the watchers, you would really make the show exceedingly interesting, and have better contestants, so that they can become invested. |

The Idol ratings have nothing to do with Adam. He could not have that big of an effect.
