It can be seen that the highlight of "Voice of America" is not only the performance of the contestants, but also the secret battle between several star coaches, namely Christina Aguilera, hip-hop singer and producer Cee Lo Green, Maroon 5 The band's lead singer Adam Levine and country musician Blake Shelt. Although there may be more of a performance component of the open and secret fight between them, it must be admitted that they performed very successfully and brought more fun to the audience. However, its disadvantage is that the competition cycle determined by the 50% elimination rate per game is too short, making it difficult for the audience to feel a sense of belonging to the players, and there is not much room for players to improve, and these are precisely the advantages of "American Idol" where.
On April 26, 2011, "The Voice of America" was officially launched. The audience rating of the first episode was 5.1, and a total of 11.8 million viewers watched the premiere episode. Although there is still a certain distance from "American Idol", it is also the first episode in North America in the past year. The premiere of the new program with the highest ratings, and its opponent that night was the 90-minute special episode of "Glee" with lady gaga guest starring, which is enough to make NBC, whose ratings have been sluggish in recent years, proud. The second season of "The Voice of America" will face its own imaginary enemy "American Idol" in the winter and spring of next year, so the success of such a test is of great significance to NBC officials. It is believed that the "Voice of America" after its return will Attack the opponent with more luxurious production power and front-stage configuration. After all, compared with this young guard, their opponent has entered the old age and decline.
This year is the tenth broadcast season of "American Idol". This national talent show, one of the most successful cultural products in American history, has become a miracle in American television history through the glory and wealth it has produced. Dongjia FOX has topped the annual ratings list of the five major TV networks for seven consecutive years. However, in recent years, due to the lack of innovation and the decline in the quality of the contestants, the dilemma of "American Idol"'s declining ratings and star-making has become increasingly serious. What this show can do Bringing less and less excitement to the audience. The final show of the season saw ratings drop another 7 percent from last year and fell behind the ABC dance talent show "Dancing With the Stars," which aired on the same day, in audience numbers, something that hasn't happened in years. . On the just-released American Idol chart by number of releases, the fourth season champion Carrie Underwood has just surpassed first season champion Kelly Clarkson at number one, and the nearest competitor is only ninth season seven champion David Cook. . It can be said that NBC took the opportunity to launch "The Voice of America", which made it clear that it is going to copy "American Idol". Even if it can't surpass its opponents in ratings in the short term, after all, the thin dead camel is bigger than the horse, but it is recreated. Miracle ambition is still there.
Another important reason for the decline of "American Idol" is the withdrawal of the popular judges. Now only one of the three brilliant judges is left to support Randy Jackson, while the more popular Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul will leave behind. We will join hands again in another show. This is "The X Factor", which FOX will launch this fall. This is a singing talent show reprinted from the United Kingdom. Simon Cowell was a judge of the British show of the same name, and initially determined the other two. A judge of the original British programme will also be involved. In fact, the biggest feature of "The X Factor" is also the mentoring mode, that is, the contestants after the primary selection are divided into four groups, and each group is guided by a program judge, so the personal ability of the four judges will be very important, and between them The competition has also become the main focus of the show. Judging from the ability of the judges, the four mentors of "Voice of America" are all famous singers. It is not a problem to mentor the contestants, but the defect lies in the comments on the spot. From the current situation, their evaluations of the contestants are all hello and me. Hello everyone, especially after entering the live show, there are basically no words to offend people. Such comments are naturally not as enjoyable as Simon Cowell's savage tongue. "Voice of America" is sandwiched between "The X Factor" and "American Idol", and the situation that was still clear has become subtle. In this situation, the 2011-2012 talent show The biggest winner is likely to be the next "The X Factor". 【Southern Metropolis Daily】
