According to preliminary Nielsen ratings, an average 8.5 million Americans tuned in to watch Spears and singer Demi Lovato’s debut, alongside Simon Cowell and L.A. Reid. The episode dropped about 3.5 million viewers from the show’s 2011 opener, which is surprising given the aggressive publicity by Spears and Cowell. Spears reportedly earned $15 million to do the show.
As for “The Voice,” 10.7 million watched a third episode Wednesday.
