Re: American Idol
Fox dominated the night's middle hour with "American Idol" (8.5/21 in 18-49, 22.7 million viewers overall), although the megahit's downtrend continues: It was off more than 20% in the demo vs. the same night a year ago while drawing its smallest regular Wednesday audience in two years.

Re: American Idol
For Kipper:
Fox's longtime ratings juggernaut is beginning to look vulnerable in Season 7.
By Scott Collins, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer
April 21, 2008
MAYBE it's not as shocking as, say, Aussie heartthrob Michael Johns getting voted off the show.
But the news still surprises: "American Idol's" ratings are down. Way down, among some viewers.
Could it be that the singing smash, which has entirely reshaped television over the past seven seasons, is finally proving mortal? And if so, what will that mean for Fox, the rest of the TV industry and Ryan Seacrest's career?
Some of the above are worth contemplating.
At first glance, the erosion doesn't seem so bad. "Idol" has slipped 7% in average total viewers (to 29.2 million, as of last week) compared with last season, according to figures from Nielsen Media Research.
"This show has defied the odds," Fox scheduling chief Preston Beckman told me Friday. " 'American Idol' has held up better than any other show, scripted or unscripted, on television."
And yet . . . this season the show has shed nearly one-fifth of women viewers ages 18 to 34 -- one of its most important constituencies -- and is down a comparable amount among kids 2 to 11. That's a bad sign, because children and young adults are generally the first to bail on a show that's getting crow's feet.
And the pace of the falloff may be quickening. Last week's performance show, featuring the songs of Mariah Carey, one of the most successful pop singers in history, was the lowest-rated Tuesday "Idol" in five years among TV's most important demographic, adults ages 18 to 49. The subsequent results show, in which country warbler Kristy Lee Cook got the hook, delivered "Idol's" worst Wednesday numbers among adults ages 18 to 34 since its first season back in summer 2002.
Producers also saw depressed ratings for their "Idol Gives Back" charity extravaganza, which this year aired as a stand-alone show with no competition-related material.
So, there you have the Nielsen bullet points. But what does it all mean? Is it a temporary speed bump for "Idol," or is the show headed for a long stretch of bad road? And if it's the latter, toward what does a decline for "Idol," TV's No. 1 show, point for future TV programming and scheduling?
The first thing to remember, of course, is that "Idol's" ratings are still huge, even if they were huger in years past. The April 8 telecast easily grabbed the crown as the week's No. 1 telecast, with 24.7 million viewers. Although CBS beat the drums hard for the post-strike return of "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," the forensics drama had to settle for a second-place tie with the "Idol" results show (20.1 million). It goes without saying -- well, rival executives will certainly say it, just not on the record -- that other networks would be quite happy to have a No. 1 show with these kinds of problems.
Fox executives, for their part, are quick to point out that all of network TV has suffered in this strike-plagued season. And that's true: All five broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC and the CW) have collectively dipped 10% among adults 18 to 49 this season.
Now, although you could make the argument -- as this column did awhile back -- that the effect of the writers strike should have created more opportunities for "Idol," Fox's Beckman took the opposite view. Rival networks threw so many strike-inspired reality programs on the air, he said, that "the number of unscripted shows that went against 'American Idol' was double what they were last year."
The more fundamental problem, though, is probably show fatigue. The conventional wisdom among TV producers and their accountants is that hit shows, no matter how popular, usually start delivering diminished ratings somewhere from Season 5 to Season 7. Seen that way, "Idol's" apparent decline is adhering to form. Some fans are seeing the program as less essential than it was a year or two ago. How many times can Americans see Seacrest insult Simon Cowell, and vice versa, before they say, "Enough already"?
"It would be great if the ratings could stay in the high 20s or low 30s," said executive producer Ken Warwick, referring to "Idol's" customary viewership in the tens of millions. "But everything has a sell-by date. Everything."
Warwick scoffed at Cowell's notion, quoted in a recent Variety interview, that the show was suffering this year because the contestants lack "personality" and are making "safe" song choices.
That's not to say, though, that Fox and the producers aren't going to huddle at the end of the season and talk about making some changes. The network carefully weighs research on audience reactions to "Idol," Beckman said. This season, executives noticed that the ratings dipped a bit during the audition phase, rebounded during the Hollywood rounds and then dropped to last week's lows.
"We have to think about how it's presented," Beckman said of "Idol," although he declined to speculate what sorts of changes might be in the offing: "These are questions you naturally ask when a show is in its seventh year."
How the rest of television will respond to more earthbound "Idol" numbers is harder to parse.
Even though it airs for just four months every year, "Idol" has redefined network TV. During an era of ebbing viewership, the show has proven that television, with the right program, can still regularly draw by far the biggest crowds in media. "Idol," in fact, is an industry unto itself. It's made Fox the No. 1 network in prime time, helped turn shows such as "24" and "House" into major hits and cast its thunderous marketing and merchandising power into nooks of the economy far beyond the long-suffering music business.
It also gives rival execs headaches and heartache. Since "Idol" became a regular-season fixture in 2003, other networks have found it virtually impossible to launch competing programs on Tuesdays or Wednesdays.
So, in theory at least, a descent for "Idol" would open up more opportunities for rival networks. They actually would be able to counter-program midweek again. Execs would be able to promote shows airing on other nights -- and people might actually see the promotions.
But don't carry such assumptions too far. Many viewers who show up to "Idol" are addicted to that particular show. If they tire of it, they won't necessarily watch something else. They may head over to YouTube or Facebook, or simply spend time with friends. Then, too, remember that rival networks found their ratings falling even before the strike last fall -- when "Idol" wasn't even on.
In any case, it was probably CBS boss Leslie Moonves who paid "Idol" the ultimate compliment at a media conference last month: "If someone would kill that show," the self-styled godfather of the TV industry said, "I'd really appreciate it."
Moonves' wish will ultimately be granted, of course, not by an anonymous hit man but rather by the viewing public. That seems especially clear given this season's results.
The only unknown, really, is how quickly the end will come.

Re: American Idol
'Idol' MP3 86'D
It was there and now it isn't.
I told you Monday that "American Idol" contestant David Cook's album "Analog Heart" was available for downloading on Amazon's MP3 site. It was so popular that it rocketed to No. 1, beating Mariah Carey's latest release.
Tuesday, however, "Analog Heart" has been digitally removed. It's gone. Although a link remains to see the album cover, the ability to download it has been removed from the site. Additionally, the audio snippets for each song have been removed as well.
What remains are the 91 reviews from enthusiastic Cook fans who did download "Analog Heart" before "American Idol" had it pulled down. One can only wonder what's gone on backstage with Cook and the "Idol" producers, particularly the folks at 19 Entertainment. Cook seemed to be doing an end run around his contract with the show and management group before the contest ended.
Meanwhile, though Carey was playing second fiddle to Cook on Amazon, she's No. 1 this week in the real world. Her "E=MC2" album sold about 500,000 copies last week. It's her biggest first-week sales for a CD since Tommy Mottola said "Cherchez la femme."
ETA: Album is here, if you want to listen

Re: American Idol
Tonight is Andrew Lloyd Webber songs...
Should really help the ratings decline.
Idol Looks Mortal
The May sweep starts Thursday, but the nets aren't exactly in a mad dash to reach the starting line.
Ratings are down for the hit shows that recently returned to action for the first time since the writers strike, and they're also off for some established reality skeins that have been unable to take advantage of softer competish. That list includes Fox's "American Idol," whose year-to-year declines have accelerated of late.
Certainly "Idol" heads into the final month of the season as television's biggest draw by a wide margin, but there are clear indications -- Fox's rivals would probably say, "Finally!" -- that the show has peaked and should expect to see mortal-like ratings erosion in years ahead.
When the work stoppage sidelined primetime's biggest scripted hits in the winter, most assumed it would be smooth sailing for Fox's megahit singing competition -- but that hasn't been the case.
After defying the odds by improving its ratings for four straight years, "Idol" is headed for a second season of declines, with this year's falloffs more pronounced. The "American Idol" audience profile continues to change, too, as more of its viewers age out of the 18-49 bracket at the same time that the show struggles to add younger viewers who will mature into the advertiser-friendly demo.
"This is not a show that's broken," insisted Fox scheduling chief Preston Beckman. "Its core audience has aged, but it's following the pattern of evolution of every hit TV show to last this long."
Nielsen data through last week shows that installments of "American Idol" on its regular nights of Tuesday and Wednesday are averaging 28.9 million viewers -- down 8% from the 31.3 million it was pulling in a year ago at this point.
While this isn't a bad year-to-year dropoff for a 6-year-old show, a closer look at key demos paint a somewhat more ominous trend.
"Idol" has declined by a slightly bigger 10% in the adults 18-49 demo (11.4 rating vs. 12.7 rating) and by a troubling 15% in adults 18-34 (9.6 vs. 11.3). It's also off by 12% in teens 12-17 (7.9 vs. 9.0) and by a big 20% in kids 2-11 (5.9 vs. 7.4).
Excluding its debut season in the summer of 2002, this year's edition of "Idol" is tracking to post the show's lowest average rating in teens 12-17 and adults 18-34 and its second lowest in kids 2-11. It's holding up better in older categories: This season could still finish as the show's third best in 18-49 and 25-54 and its best among viewers 50-plus, where this year "Idol" is roughly flat vs. last season.
The median age of the "American Idol" viewer has grown from 40.1 last year to 42.0 this year. It has now risen with each annual edition since 2002, when half of its audience was under 32.
Still, at a relatively spry median age of 42, "Idol" is considerably younger than most primetime shows ("Dancing With the Stars" is about 55, for example; "Survivor" is 47; and top scripted skein "Grey's Anatomy" is 44). But there are now nine primetime programs on the Big Four (all airing either on Fox or NBC) that skew younger, as does all of the CW sked.
Possible reasons for the show's decline in popularity include its ubiquity (perfs are available on other outlets) and more episodes during daylight saving time (whose start shifted from April to March last year).
But there's also the writers strike.
"When it came on (this season), the thought was that the strike was going to be good for 'Idol,' but people weren't going to start watching this show because of a writers strike," Beckman said.
"It's faced almost double the number of unscripted programs as in previous seasons," he added. "And though none have done huge against it, it's going to have an impact."
Sure enough, shows like "The Biggest Loser" on NBC and "Dancing With the Stars" on ABC, or even smaller ratings performers like "Big Brother" on CBS and "America's Next Top Model" on CW, have chipped away at what has always been "American Idol's" wheelhouse: young women.
While men 18-34 have watched in nearly the same number as a year ago, the women 18-34 audience for "Idol" has plunged by 19%.
Not having firstrun hit dramas "House" or "24" on the Fox sked, another result of the writers strike, has also contributed to the declines. Even a monster smash like "Idol" could use the promotional boost offered by a full primetime network slate.
Looking forward, Metcalf is bullish that "Idol" can reverse its downward trend in upcoming years.
"Our goal is to find what are the things that can bring people back, to keep people from fast-forwarding," he said. "I really believe that with the right competition, you can still see some growth with this show."

Yeah I was thinking Syesha also might be in trouble because she sang first(everyone except David A who has sang first has left the same week).
DialIdol pretty much has everyone except the two David's in trouble, with Carly dead last but all 4 are very close.
