I'm pleased for The Voice but sad for BGT.

I don't think ITV have done themselves any favours from the very start. If you ask me, if both shows hadn't have clashed from the start (as they won't do from next week), I don't think BGT's ratings would have fallen behind The Voice's, at least this early. But having them clash has just led to this...why on earth they ever thought that people (excluding me, cause I do) would switch over after watching a show for a whole hour is beyond me.

Glad they won't be clashing next week...just hope it stays like that.

I watched BGT yesterday briefly and I had never seen it be so dead and boring.

[BBfanUSA]

and he'll a problem with the voice stateside as well.

The next season is this fall and it's supposed to be in the same timeslot as X Factor that's on another channel

I'm pissed because I like both shows

Another win for The Voice this week - 9.89million to BGT's 9.52million (although it attracted an extra 489k on ITV1+1)

The Voice also had a much higher peak audience of 11.6million - BGT had 10.6million

[Jack_]

Surprised they've dipped below 10m each...wasn't expecting that, in fact I was expecting a 12m average for The Voice. Odd.

[Brother Leon]

Alot of people watch them later I imagine.

I watch the BGT videos on Youtube and catch the parts of the Voice which I missed on iPlayer after.

[Marc]

It should take into account YouTube hits too

[bananarama]

I record to watch both the Voice and BGT and on both shows I spend most of the time using fast forward to skip the trash performers that comes with both shows....

The voice being new has a novelty factor which I think will soon wear off after a couple of series......My wish my dearest dearest wish is that the trashy garbage called the "X" factor is scrapped ASAP........

[Matt]

10.09million for The Voice last night, peaking at 11.3!

[Niamh.]

I've given up on BGT, it's a bit sh*t really

[Kazanne]

According to 'This Morning' BGT has increased it's ratings from last year,which is all that matters ,watched The Voice once and hated it,and I see they are in murkey waters already! it's BGT for me.

How exactly?


Some iPlayer figures: Saturday's Battle Round episode has broken the BBC iPlayer record for the most views in a single day with 764,000 requests. Adding that to the 9.89million who tuned in live, it's now been watched by 10.65million viewers

BGT beat the Voice this weekend:

Britain's Got Talent last night (Saturday, April 28) climbed to an audience of nearly 10.2 million with +1 figures included, according to the latest overnight data.

Simon Cowell's ITV talent show was watched by 9.67m (41.8%) between 8.30pm and 9.30pm, adding 489k (2.3%) on ITV1 +1.


As the end of the show drew near, a peak of 10.7m watched 9-year-old Malakai Paul's emotional audition. Britain's Got More Talent then grabbed a series high of 1.07m (4.9%) from 9.30pm (+1: 239k).

BBC One's The Voice UK logged a massive 9.33m (41.8%), peaking with 10.3m, but lost viewers for the second Saturday in a row.

However, it seems The Voice was hampered by questionable early evening scheduling from the BBC, as an old edition of My Family gave the singing contest only a 2.8m (14.7%) lead-in, while Pointless Celebrities took 3.97m (22.6%) from 5.35pm.

Surprised it would lose viewers when it's the first live show

[Black Dagger]

It's a reoccuring theme for shows like this.

It was going to happen, they lose the gimmick after blind auditions and battle rounds, it is now essentially 'X Factor' but with better song choices and more coaching.

[RichardG]

8.6m for the results show, though Digital Spy are saying it was 'easily the most watched show last night'.

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/tv/s154/...6-million.html

To be honest i'm not surprised at the ratings drop. I liked the auditions but I really didn't like the battles and I found the first live show on saturday pretty boring. That being said, i'm surprised BGT ratings are improving because I find that even worse these days with its endless amounts of dance acts and child singers. It almost feels like a chore getting through it till the end.

[BBfanUSA]

BBC's not dissappointed if it's still the highest show with 8.9m

8.6 actually

Awful editing and the fact that last nights show wasnt live didnt help.

Everything about the live shows scream amature.

[RichardG]

The Voice down to 8.16m last night.

Meanwhile, The Voice UK anchored BBC One's night with 8.16m (35.6%) between 7.10pm and 8.45pm, losing momentum over its ITV rival but still performing strongly

Still a lot of viewers but it's down a lot from the auditions and it's losing a fair amount of viewers each week...

[MusicXian]

The cup final may have had some reaction towards it yesterday though. We will see.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Reckon tonights results may get about 7.1

[Mrluvaluva]

Anybody know what the ratings were for this weekend?
