The Voice ratings fall to a new low [updated 27/05]
 

Not good at all, it only clashed with BGT for 15 mins as well so that's no excuse. Viewers are switching off in droves.

Awful time to start 6.10pm, loads of my student friends weren't in for it starting so missed it last night,had to record it for them to watch later last night.

Sadly, more viewers will turn off as their favourites get sent home too, I think too many are going out too soon and if the wrong ones go tonight. I still think it will pick up,I hope so anyway.
It is always risky chopping and changing with start times though.Last night I could see the point with the BGT final being the case.

That's a pity cos I like it much more than either of Simon Cowells shows

It needs something else to it, am starting to get bored myself

i agree, it lacks the excitement

The early start wouldn't have helped. I wouldn't have even known it was on earlier hadn't I been on TiBB at the time.

I pretty much watched all the audition episodes as they were fresh and different, but quite literally 10 mins into the live shows and i got a tad bored and just had it on in the background whilst i was on my computer.

I think the format of the show is good enough, but it needs to be a little more 'spectacular'. I also think the coaches are all kinda terrible, well bar Will.i.am who is brilliant. No chemistry whatsoever. Also not too big a fan of Reggie...........oh and tension, needs.more.tension!

Bloody right

Feckk the Bloated BBC

Won't help all the negative press jessie gets....

Is she getting negative press? I haven't heard any of it, what about?

Has been in the mirror, I know it's a rubbish paper but it could sway public opinion. It rants of her being a diva and snubbing big BBC bosses who gave her a 'big break'...And her rubbishing the show on chatty man.

Oh :shocked: Did she rubbish the show on Chatty man? that'd be a bit silly of her

It is kind of bland atm.

I don't know about Chatty Man, but I remember reading that she apparently said The Voice was 'lame' on Graham Norton and that she never watched it back, but they edited her comments out before it was broadcasted.

I've completely given up on The Voice now, it's so boring. The auditions were great, as for the battles - I wasn't a fan but I still watched. The live shows though are tedious. There's no excitement at all, it lacks any form of energy. I won't be watching it again from now on.

OMG... why is it doing so poorly :sad:

Although last night was awful, until Tyler, Adam and Jaz were on.

where is all this Tyler love coming from? I swear I felt like I was in the Twilight Zone last, listening to something different to everyone else...........he sounded like a strangled cat to me

It is getting a bit boring now, and for all the talk about how much better the singing is most of the acts last night weren't really that good

I agree with you there Niamh, so fed up with the Simon Cowell shows. I loved the Voice to begin with (and I really do hate the BBC), blind auditions and the first round. The BBC had a very strong Ace in their pack with this show but spoilt it by having the public believe that the results show on the Sunday night were actually live. It fast lost viewers when they spotted judges and presenters all wearing the same clothing from Saturday night. Because of this the Voice has gone down in my estimation although I still prefare it to Cowells shows. I missed the first half hour of last night, not realising that it started at 6.10pm.

I guess the BBC can only blame themselves for the mess and lost of viewers.

This is one of the issues jessie had, wearing the same clothes to aid in editting of something she disagreed with it too and was blasted by the press for it....

I can't watch it anyway but I think the choice in judges is terrible. Tom Jones is the only one who has any right to be there. Jessie J does have a good voice but it's a bit insulting to be coached by someone who's barely become famous - I'd much rather have seen someone like Nadine Coyle take the role if they wanted a young female. Will.i.am coaching anyone on how to sing is ridiculous. And the guy from The Script is a non entity.

Will.I.Am's the best thing about the show.

Agreed, and Tom's probably the worst judge as well

Bearly become famous? she was playing stadiums with cris brown in america....

Don't see how anyone can complain about Will really, he does everything (sing, rap, write, produce, etc), plus is easily the best thing about the show, and has probably been the best with his contestants aswell

I knew my thoughts would be reflected in the ratings, it's awful. I was so bored watching it last night, and it's a shame because during the Blind Auditions I thought it was better than BGT, but this week's semi-finals and last night's final shat all over it. The production differences, and hell, even the differences in talent are huge.

Ive given up on it. Tonights results will probably get under 5 million.

Good to say it was clashing with Emmerdale, can see the ratings maybe rising now people aren't split between this and BGT.

It won't be helped by the coaches sending their best acts out, like Tom did with Adam though.
I still love the series though.

6.5m for next week I reckon.

Final will be 10m max if they're lucky.

No surprise its starting to fade now its come to the live show.

Shame cuz I like this show but I think it only has a future as a fill in summer show; like all those kitschy Lord Webber shows. I think the Voice is capable of much more shame the wrong network won the right for it.

Well I got the peak right...except I was predicting a 6.5m average.

Last night's show averaged 5.7m and peaked at 6.5m.

Very poor.

I think its very much a lame duck show. To much of the same thing music wise. Songs being sung that are the most boring you could possibly imagine.

Men squeeling like a cat with its tail trodden on.......Others over dramatising and murdering music to get attention. Bland ten a penny talent with no veriety to speak of.

Out of the lot there are about two singers that might be around in a years time...

6pm is way to early, it would be much better at 7-8.

This Saturday it has to be at 6:30PM
due to the 8PM start of the
waste of time Eurovision Song Contest
which is Political.

Nonsense Arista the Eurovision Song Contest is marvelous

This...

Me and Miss Mollie are going to have a ball when Albania and Moldova get nil points on Saturday.

The Voice Semi Finals and Eurovision, amazing Saturday :lovedup:

It's been quite unlucky with it's scheduling recently, couple of weeks ago they had to squeeze it in between the FA Cup and BGT final, last week was Champions League final night and now this week they have to have it before Eurovision

Last night's show fell to a new low of 4.5m viewers, beating the previous low of 5.6m earlier in the month. I know the hot weather is affecting ratings across the board at the moment but you have to remember that the BBC spent £25m on this show. Not good at all.

The show was on way too early, everyone was still out in sun having their BBQ enjoying the bliss day. The prospect of stopping that just to watch The Voice, is insane.

To be completely honest I hope we don't get a second series, leave the talent shows to Cowell.

Meh they couldn't have had it any later, bet they're glad it finishes next week
