I was posting in the Celebria thread but it got closed.

But I'm sure all Aggie fans are passing by anyway, so... There you go:
Well, I will not sugarcoat anything, cause I'm smarter than that: I did not expect The X-Factor to lose during the 1st hour.
However, I did expect its numbers to be smaller due to both shows airing together. Many people watch both shows, and it's just obvious that you'd rather catch the "results" to something you were already watching, instead of a first night, which as we all know, usually shows nothing but preliminary stuff. And that's the reason why Simon was so furious with NBC's coward tactic.
I must add, though, the fact known to everybody else: The X-Factor basically kept steady ratings during its whole 1st season (finishing on a HIGHER note, btw), while The Voice, like I said here yesterday, always CRASHES after the blind auditions - aka beating American Idol during half of last season, and losing when the average numbers came in.
So yeah, the not so smart ones will celebrate a battle... But those who actually have a brain know what matters is the WAR.
That said... See ya'll in December, The Voice/Christina fans.
