Total average viewership dropped 13% to 26.1 million, down from the 29.9 million viewers who tuned in to the ninth season premiere.
The show posted a 9.7 Nielsen rating among adults ages 18 to 49, an 18% drop from the 11.8 rating for 2010's season opener.
The show's viewership dropped 16% in season 9 from season 8 and last year its finale delivered its weakest numbers ever for the series' season-ending show.
I'm just not sure if people are rushing out to see J-Lo and Steven Tyler judge a bunch of singers. At least with Simon you got someone that was hard but when a good singer came along he would acknowledge that. It seems like there are just 3 Paulas on the show now and people are tuning out. I watched it for little while last night and the new judges were pretty cringe inducing. I wonder if this might be the end of Idol going forward?
