Ratings rat race: "American Idol" down
In the second week of its 12th season, American Idol last night saw Nicki Minaj storm off after a squabble with fellow judge Mariah Carey as the show took in auditions in Charlotte, NC. Although watched by 16 million viewers and dominating in all demos, the two-hour episode was down 10% from last week's premiere. It also was down 16% from Season 11's second-week Wednesday show a year ago. Still, the rating was better than the 29% year-over-year decline Idol's second-week Wednesday suffered last season compared with Season 10. (excerpt from Deadline)
