Thats the show it will be compared to and, by getting in first, The voice has stolen XFs thunder with the whole mentor thing.

Simon really should have gone for more popular personalities. Im not sure the US audience even want to relive the whole Simon/Paula schtick. Simon clearly thinks they do. Self indulgence.
AI isn't on its way out, it's doing well with it's ratings and no doubt it'll continue to do well. The Voice has only been on TV for about 3 weeks so it's not possible to call it competition.

The judges are kinda profile, which is kinda a bad thing, it's not like Adam and Xtina (whose only really on it as a lifeline seeing as bionic flopped) are gonna stick around for more than one series.

But yeah I agree with the last bit
