‘American Idol’ Season 12 Launch Draws In 17.8 Million Viewers

Published: Thursday 17th Jan 2013 by David

17.8 million viewers tuned into ‘The Nicki Minaj Show’ American Idol‘s season 12 launch last night, which saw Pop wonder Mariah Carey, Country star Keith Urban and Rap Queen Nicki Minaj take their places on the judging panel for the first time.

Full story below…

Though down 19% from last January’s Season 11 debut, last night’s show pulled in more viewers than any episode aired by NBC’s ‘The Voice’ last year, and was the most watched show on television last night, beating offerings made by any other network in the nation.


Helped in part by a Minaj led promotional campaign, which saw the Rapper take to ‘Ellen’ and ‘Jay Leno‘ for sit down interviews, FOX will no doubt be hoping tonight’s episode fares much better when it kicks off 8/7c, and following outings live up to its Season 6 high which opened with 37.4 million viewers.

      • The Ugly Truth Told January 17, 2013

        Fox’s American Idol returned Wednesday night to its lowest-rated and least-watched regular-season premiere telecast ever (the first season aired during the summer and generally isn’t counted). Idol delivered 17.9 million viewers and a 6.0 adults 18-49 demo rating. That’s down 19 percent from last year’s opener, which was the previous lowest-ever record-holder.

        The numbers also mean last night’s Idol premiere will not be the most-watched entertainment show this week — Tuesday’s NCIS had 22.9 million viewers. This is the first time another series was seen by more viewers than Idol during its regular season premiere week.

        🙁

      • FLOP Harder than your titties January 17, 2013

        The Mariah Carey-Nicki Minaj feud might not be enough to rescue “American Idol’s” ratings.

        Fox’s singing competition entered its 12th season Wednesday with three new judges and sharply lower viewership. An average of 17.8 million total viewers tuned in to the two-hour premiere, slumping 19% compared with last season, according to Nielsen.

        The decline among viewers age 18 to 49 — the group most sought by advertisers — was also 19%, suggesting that “Idol” continues to lose its grip on younger viewers. 😀

      • James227 January 17, 2013

        This was the worst American Idol EVER. On opening night viewers they would have 28-30 million or more people watching. Tonight Scandal comes on and I’ll be tuned in. I seen enough of American Idol last night to know I will never watch it again.

  3. truth(slayer of icki funky ass stans B****!!) January 17, 2013

    it drew so little ppl because of that C*** icki…GAWD I HATE HER!!! (puts on my booty pads)

      • James227 January 17, 2013

        Sorry but the world seens to love Mariah instead of Nicki. Nicki looks and act crazy. Mariah & Queen Latifah should have been judges or Mariah should not have stoop that low to be a judge with Nicki. It’s not like Mariah needs that 18 Million because she was offered much more from Las Vagas to do shows there. They could have chose T-Boz with Mariah also.

  9. Jay Scorpio January 17, 2013

    TEAM MARIAH

      Mariah.. 20 years in the game 18 million dollars.
      Nicki……..3 years in the game 12 million dollars.

      If you think about it…Nicki is the one that’s really winning! Lmfao

      U sleeeeeazy b****

  11. AmbeRussell January 17, 2013

    well of course Idol will pull in more viewers than the voice and x factor simply bc it has a huge brand as well as it has years over those other singing shows because it was the 1st of the 21thh century. it was not the doing of Nicki or Mariah, since it obviously went down from last yr.

  12. jason January 17, 2013

    The show was good but I see why Nicki was doing so much promo and constantly talking about the fued.

    SHE CLEARLY IS THE ONE WHO IS PUSHING IT. And thats as clear as day on screen. Shes always talking louder than everyone else and forcing herself to talk first after everyone has sang. I can see why this would annoy Mariah or anyone else.

    Nicki is cute but at the same time very annoying. Shes on record saying Mariah talks to much when she is the one who wont stop talking. I just don’t get it

    • truth(slayer of icki funky ass stans B****!!) January 17, 2013

      Mariah read the f*** outta her for talkn British chile. I lmao!

      • PSA (FAF) January 17, 2013

        Huh? Mariah did 2 interviews
        “The View”
        “Barbara Walters”

        Nicki did 2 ” interviews ”
        “Ellen”
        her twitter tyrade

      • PSA (FAF) January 17, 2013

        tirade**

        anyway, its Mariah’s fans who continue to bring it up… go on any Mariah youtube video you will see talks of the feud

        Nicki fans are not talking about that!

      • truth(slayer of icki funky ass stans B****!!) January 17, 2013

        h** please icki fans are ALL about that and she read her ON AI last night…H**!!

      • PSA (FAF) January 17, 2013

        Honey Nicki was bout to choke that b****

        what the f*** is a reading gon do ?!

        It was all over TMZ Mariah getting cursed out! LMAOOOO

    • SlayDeleAdkins January 17, 2013

      100% Agree!

  13. Monstarebel (F** Boy) January 17, 2013

    Good for the show it was my first time watching in years…Nicki so far is a good judge I was really enjoying her last night…Keith urban is non factor he does nothing for the show sorry I love Mariah she’s a shadey queen her facial expression alone give me life …. & Randy is a tired queen they should’ve been let him go…

    • EverGreen. January 17, 2013

      Agreed, first time i’ve watch since ’04 >> I think they are trying to shift the demographic away from Grandmas and it seems to be working; I work with alot of teens and it’s the first time i’ve ever heard them mention idol in casual convo. EVER.

      Agree, Keith seems nice, but he doesn’t offer anything interesting. I think Randy is the dude who keeps the show moving. He was cutting comments short and got the Yes/No voting rolling; he also has no patients for horrible singers (they should stop with the s*** and at least give potential talent screen time rather then some of these jokes.)

  14. HOTSTUFF January 17, 2013

    what’s the big deal ? it’s the opening …..let’s wait and see….and puh-lease do you think 17,8 M tuned in to see Nicki minaj when her sophomore slump released two years ago can’t hit the 800 000 sales ???? The delusion is real. #LOL

    • DeezNuts January 17, 2013

      Her sophomore album was released 8 months ago btw. The delusion is real my friend.

      • HOTSTUFF January 17, 2013

        i know you dumb b**** it’s an expression to say, it has been out for ever.

      • PSA (FAF) January 17, 2013

        But its a FLOP expression & a lie

        considering Rishitta took 10 mos to get a platinum certification

        Nicki had hers in 2 mos #oop

    • SlayDeleAdkins January 17, 2013

      LOOOL!!

  15. RDK January 17, 2013

    I enjoyed it,i am looking forward to seeing it tonight,Mimi and Nicki did there thing,so real and passionate,so let me get this straight people wanted Nicki to stay mute and just agree with everyone else,so they can’t say she don’t now what she is doing that she riding the others wave,now she step up and did a great job on that panel[in my sight]it,s still a problem man this woman can’t win with certain people.

  16. Jay Scorpio January 17, 2013

    ITS AMAZING NOT EVEN THE PRODUCERS OF IDOL CONSIDER NICKI A RAPPER… THEY KEPT REFERRING TO HER AS A POP ARTIST #SHADE

    • truth(slayer of icki funky ass stans B****!!) January 17, 2013

      YAAAASSSSSS LOLOLOLOL! (slow twerks)

    STOP IT SAM!!!… IT FLOPPED!
    The premiere with Jennifer Lopez & Steven Tyler drew more with a Rating total of 21.4 million with rating stats at 7.4. Nicki’s / mariah’s idol premiere is the WORST EVER PREMIERE IN A.I HISTORY. It won the night, but DROPPING IN RATINGS BY 19% FROM LAST YEAR IS NOT GOOD. ET, HOLLYWOOD REPORTER, DRUDGE REPORT ARE SAYING THAT IT WAS A FLOP PREMIERE!

    • Diamond January 17, 2013

      It was already predicted to drop because singing shows are not that popular anymore, face it. BUT American Idol is still farrrrrr ahead of The Voice & is STILL the most watched show in America.

    😀

  26. Nickis fake bum January 17, 2013

    Im sorry but you can all say what you want, Mariah was so f***** brilliant on idol her sense of humor is brilliant she is a full out Diva, shes brilliant and shes honest and real! Nicki through shade and gave dirty looks everytime fans came in for Mariah, she was going out fo her way to try and be the best judge and was clearly in competition with her over zelious comments, trying to sound intelligent, where as Miarah just played it cool and told it how it was and spoke from the heart like a true Queen.

    I won’t say that Nicki is not entertaining cos thats her whole image anyway shes a clown and clowns are funny, and the banta with her and Mariah is fun, but Nicki is borderline annoying and she takes things to seriously, every joke Mariah made, she was on the edge of her seat to start a fight, yet it was ok for her to give cattie looks and call Mariah a b**** when she felt like it

    Home gurl is going to be change when she watches herself and see how immature she comes across

    but its good viewing

    • JOHNVIDAL January 17, 2013

      Yes! That exactly

  27. Ya Bish! January 17, 2013

    I actually watched the show for the first time in YEARS because of Mariah Carey, who is at the top of my list of faves (along with Whitney Houston of course). I actually cannot stand Nicki Minaj at ALL. However, truth be told, I feel like Nicki stole the show last night, as much as I hate to admit it. She was animated and lively, interacted well with the contestants and was genuinely entertaining to watch, while Mariah came across as cold, uncomfortable, and distant. TBH I really don’t think it was a good idea for Mariah to do this show, she’s way above the scope of this sinking ship and her personality doesn’t translate well on the format. Oh well, I still can’t stand Nicki and Mariah will always be a queen. That’s all…

    • DeezNuts January 17, 2013

      Nicki will grow on you! 🙂

    Nicki was BRILLIANT last night! So articulate, so entertaining, so heart felt! Gahhhhh I love her sooo much.

    There was a LOT of people throwing shade at NIcki on twitter. I find it astounding that Nicki gets hate because people believes that she has no musical talent or experience YET when ELLEN was a judge no one was as outraged!?? No jokes about how the World is coming to an end because a “non-singer” is judging a talent show. lol

    Anyways…I watched for NIcki Minaj…and I will keep watching for NICKI MINAJ!

        Oh shut up

  31. I DON’T SPEAK VERMIN!! January 17, 2013

    It’s THE NICKI MINAJ SHOW… I really do believe if it weren’t for Nicki Minaj being on Idol the ratings would have been a disasterous mess. Mariah Carey is a legend but she’s boring. She’s not young, vibrant, fun and entertaining to watch like Nicki Minaj. The viewers tuned in to get a glimps of Nicki’s many looks and her bubbly personality. Even without the Mariah feud people would still tune in to oogle at Nicki Minaj. Some viewers might tune in just to nitpick and hate on Nicki for whatever reason, like Manly Williams (Wendy) but still they’re tuning in for Nicki Minaj and NOT Mariah. Most of you would never admit it but you all tuned in for Nicki Minaj.

    • truth(slayer of icki funky ass stans B****!!) January 17, 2013

    • JOHNVIDAL January 17, 2013

      How do you know? Maybe if Minaj wasn´t there the ratings could be higher. Who knows?

    • James227 January 17, 2013

      No the rating would have been better if Mariah & Queen Latifah or T-Boz was on the show instead of Nicki.

      • sigh January 17, 2013

        James227 ok be honest how many people you think knows are remember f-cking T-boz who can’t even save her own f-cking show,just fall back with you old hating @ss.

      • DeezNuts January 17, 2013

        Do you honestly think Queen Latifah could bring in more viewers than Nicki Minaj?

    Ok, it´s my first time wathing this. I just wathed it on youtube, the whole hour and a half. And I have to say I was entertained
    Keith: nice and good looking. He´s there to compensate
    Mariah Carey: hands down the best judge. She has such a special ear the others haven´t got. It showed in this very first episode. She wasn´t vibrant like Minaj cos she is not crazy, but she was likeable and funny enough. Loved when nobody was going to want the Indian gy to pass but she was the one who said yes, I like that, and everybody said yes after her. Didn´t see Minaj changing anybodys opinion.
    Nicki Minaj: It was fun. I think the panel is so entertaining with her added to the mix. BUT… she was talking too much and even was disrespectful a couple of times. Mariah is shady but the problem is not that. You could see the problem is that from the very beggining Minaj saw everybody was there for Mariah, not her. And she couldn´t stand it in the inside, she quickly started rolling eyes everytime Mariah had a moment with a contestant (every contestant who said something about the judges lol, all of them “inspired” by Mariah)

    Surprised it had less viewers. I´m sure this was more entertaining than J.Lo. lol
    And Sam please, your stanning for Nicki Minaj is ridiculous. At least wheen you stan for Beyonce… I don´t know she is really a big big star 🙂

    • Common Sense January 17, 2013

      Fantastic and very well written review of the episode. I agree with everything, and hope that Nicki will grow up and realize that, as a master vocalist, Mariah is naturally a huge inspiration to up and coming singers.

  34. mob: that chick cleopatra jones January 17, 2013

    “Though down 19% from last January’s Season 11 debut, last night’s show pulled in more viewers than any episode aired by NBC’s ‘The Voice’ last year”

    Wow, I HATE ADAM LAVINE so I’m happy the voice is a flop in comparison! Usher & Shakeria will not save that damn show! I hope Nicki & MC continue to play nice LOL 🙂

    DEAD at Nicki telling people they don’t have a “stand out” voice.. Anyway, the show is WACK omg!!! ssooo boring. Never again. KNEW it would flop. Nicki can’t even save herself…

    • PSA (FAF) January 17, 2013

  39. sigh January 17, 2013

    i can’t beleive these 2ss holes isn’t watching are pretending not to because of Nicki,Nicki already got payed so you all thinking you spiting her have another thing coming,she just needs to continue to be a great judge that,s it,and show people who don’t now her who be listening to these haters,that she isn’t what most is trying to make her out to be….in my opinion the way nicki put it down so far it,s like part of her was made for this,she connect she is passionate and so understanding so genuine toward the contestants no made up sh-t.

    • PSA (FAF) January 17, 2013

      Dont worry about it, they can’t watch bc they have no TVs in the homeless shelter

      The queen still collecting royalties off their faves songs that are shooting up itunes 🙂

      So when does Gag Gag’s new $0.99 album release?

  41. Casual January 17, 2013

    American Idol was the most watched show last night on TV, is still a Top 10 show, and is still THE biggest talent competition on TV. The new judges may have halted an even bigger decline in the ratings.

    I personally thought last night was hilarious.

  42. Truth ( Number 1 Nicki Stan) January 17, 2013

    Queen Nick and Keith slayed last night dahhhling!

  43. RoyalKev January 17, 2013

    I thought Nicki was really entertaining (just like I had expected her to be). Nicki is totally being herself. No matter how bizarre the hair gets or inflated her behind is, she’s actually quite natural. There’s nothing more fascinating than that. Nicki doesn’t let the hate get to her, she’s very secure! … I also feel like everyone was feeding off her. The Nicki vs Mariah thing is so old guys, they actually seem to be playful in their shade. I think people are taking everything too seriously. I wasn’t too sure about the chemistry working before tuning in, but it seem to be a great dynamic. I’m not totally sure if I prefer this bunch over the scrumptious Jlo, but I will watch this season. American Idol ALWAYS have the best talent!!!

    Onika needs to get the boot. All she says is “owew maii gwaddddd i loveee youuu” grrrlbye. I wanted Mariah and Jlo to have T-offs, not Onika

  45. Touché January 17, 2013

    I’m sorry but these low ratings and views are just a sign that these karaoke shows need to finally end. I mean don’t get me wrong, I love me some Mimi but based on what happened the first night, it’s clear that this season of AI will do way worse than the last season. Hell, you would even think that with someone currently popular like Nicki on their show that they would have done way better the first time but they showed they couldn’t. Just look at what’s happening to other shows. Britney couldn’t even save the “X-factor” show. The “Duets” are practically irrelevant. The only other show that is somewhat successful is “the Voice” only because it’s new and is based on a different concept than AI and X-factor.

  46. the real xoxo January 18, 2013

    This is why these talent shows never work – its all about the judges and never about the mediocre contestants.
    The fact that Nicki Minaj is judging talent says it all about the music industry.
    Mariah remained composed and classy!

  47. TAYLOR SWIFTS NUMBER 1 FAN!!! January 18, 2013

    Nicki gave taylor swift a mention when the girl sang superbass!
