Apparently its rating are not doing as well as they did even 2 weeks ago, so how about Kylie to the rescue?
Might be a good idea me thinks! ;)
"Kylie Minogue and Cheryl Cole are being called into The Voice — to stop it croaking.
The two pop stars will parachute into the ailing show in a bid to bolster ratings by performing for the semi-final on May 26 and final on June 2.
The move comes with all the judges facing the axe after ratings plummeted by another 2 million and BBC bosses called crisis talks. Last Sunday’s show was watched by just 6.9 million, down a huge 2.1 million from the previous week’s 9 million.
The week before that the ratings were 11.3 million.
A BBC insider told The Sun: “If the show keeps bleeding two million viewers a week, serious changes are needed at the highest levels and no one is safe.”
The BBC bought The Voice format for £22 million and just last week Sir Tom Jones boasted he and his fellow judges Jessie J, Will.i.am and Danny O’Donoghue would be back next year.
To add to the Beeb’s woes, ITV1 rival Britain’s Got Talent’s ratings soared to 10.8 million as its live semi-finals started on Sunday.
Now bosses are bracing themselves for another pasting this weekend as the BGT final airs.
A source said of The Voice: “It’s the first year of the show and clearly it needs some tweaking.” reports The Sun
Daily Mirror picked up the news as well:
The BBC insider explained: “We’ve just signed Kylie this week and Cheryl is going to perform her new single in a massive exclusive for the show.
“We are also contacting a number of other huge stars, such as singer Adele, to add more quality to the show."
The more Kylie the better, right? ;)
