How is X Factor 'trying hard' when The Voice needed to extend their 2 night premiere to a 3rd night to steal viewers from X Factor? they are definitely afraid of the more superior show

& it's true, every reality singing competition loses some viewers each year which is exactly what's gonna happen to The Voice compared to last season's post Super bowl premiere probably more than a 50% drop

I was talking about The UK X Factor to stay on topic

well yeah, but even then, The X Factor generally has more chances to gain in audience.

The Voice ratings always fall after the auditions because the live shows are boring anyway.

Gary Barlow keeps me tuned in, so as long as he's on the program, I'm good

Like popboi already stated, 8 million in the UK is the equivalent of 45 million viewers in the US which The Voice, X-Factor and American Idol in the US will NEVER achieve. So

Still better than the voice US and Uk version which was a flop.

I hope it disappears already. So tired of X Factor (UK)

people are bored of XF in the UK now, it's been going for years and the novelty has long worn off

Plus they keep adding pointless things to the show that nobody has time for.

I only tune in for King Barlow now. Would be better if he showed some skin on there tho

Eight million for the UK is still amazing

it isn't really. i mean they're alright numbers but in comparison to previous series' the ratings are pretty low
