'The Voice' Debuts Strong on NBC

Filed under: TV News

Here's something for NBC to sing about: 'The Voice' debuted to an audience of 11.8 million viewers last night, according to early numbers. Not quite 'American Idol,' but quite respectable.

What's even better news for the show and network is the 18-49 demographic rating: a 5.1 share. According to Entertainment Weekly, 'The Voice' was the no. 1 show of the night in that key demographic, despite strong competition from a super-sized 'Glee' and 'Dancing With the Stars.'

The first season of 'American Idol' was seen by an average of 12.7 million viewers. Seems like 'The Voice' is on the right track to be a hit.

The singing competition series features judges/coaches Cee Lo Green, Christina Aguilera, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton picking their favorite contestants based on their voices alone. The four music superstars don't get to see what the singers look like until after making their selection.
