Live stages are the highlight of most shows like this.

Except with the Voice their ratings fell dramatically over the course of the live shows, the audition and battle rounds got nearly twice the number of viewers

That's because their live shows were so abysmally produced in comparison to X Factor. The difference in production quality was massive.

So they should be working on improving them and making them events like X Factor's are, not second-rate, dull, lifeless and devoid of any tension. Reducing the number of lives is a cop-out if you ask me. And seriously, how can three live shows possibly be enough? Three weeks of a public vote? Really?

The biggest issue you had this year along with the poor production was that you didn't get a chance to get to know the contestants like you do with the length that X Factor goes on for, three weeks really isn't going to help that.
