Well, that’s one way of deflecting away from being down some 30%.
900,000 of those comments were people talking about how much they hated the finale. I would know, I was watching my twitter feeds last night.
Congratulations. What a tremendously successful show. Not another show could have a 6.1 rating after 9 years. Great finale and Idol will be here 10 years from now…..Will community???? lol.
