UPDATE: “X Factor” EX-Hausted: Thursday Ratings Plummet, Even with Selena Gomez

Share

Last night’s “X Factor” should have perked up the ratings from Wednesday. Alas, it was not the case. The Simon Cowell hosted program pulled in a frighteningly low 3.64 million viewers, down a million from Wednesday. This was even with Selena Gomez appearing on the show. But she didn’t sing because “X Factor” on Thursday was really a do-over from Wednesday. A technical glitch cancelled all the registered votes. Things are going wrong big time. Is “X Factor” ex-hausted? It sure seems that way. It finished 12th for the evening. It was also wiped out from 9-10pm by NBC’s competing show “The Voice.”

Here’s a video from last night. Honestly, though, how any one can stand this kind of singing anymore is beyond me. I guess I was ruined by last night’s Ronnie Wood-Mick Taylor show. If someone put this “Titanium” on a mixtape for me, I’d be insulted.
