Some critics have argued that Cowells departure after Season 9, which both diluted the Idol brand and contributed to TVs singing competition overload by bringing The X Factor to the US, put the nail in the coffin of the shows ratings. But X Factor and post Cowell Idol both had the exact same problem: They were trying to bring in ratings and recapture the magic of watching no name artists become big stars, while leaning on static formats and the attraction of famous judges who would inevitably distract viewers from actually paying attention to the contestants.
The shows uplifting brand became tarnished through these reality tactics, which began to seem increasingly desperate as the shows ratings fell ending its run on Fox with 9.3 viewers, a quarter of the audience it drew at its peak and the later winners failed to graduate to successful or even visible careers in the music industry. In contrast, NBCs The Voice, the kind of competitor that Idols success opened the door for, found a more organic way to center its celebrity judges. They were reframed as down to earth coaches who could relate to the singers onstage, in a role that allowed them to keep their own brands intact and be replaced, as celebrity schedules inevitably demand, without upsetting the fundamental dynamic of the show.
The fact that Kelly Clarkson, arguably the face of Idol, chose to join The Voice this season as a coach as well as Idols ratings loss to The Voice in its premiere underlines that the fresher competitor now better represents the earnest authenticity that Idol is struggling to recapture. Everything about the reincarnated Idol, besides the judging panel, is nearly unchanged from its first life down to the set and Ryan Seacrests blinding white smile. And relying on the star power of Katy Perry or her fellow judges to bring in viewers is at best a temporary patch over the changing realities of television and music that made Idols promise of blockbuster pop stardom impossible to keep.
Its hard to remember now how Idol grew into a groundbreaking ratings juggernaut, outperforming the Oscars, peaking at 36 viewers in 2006, and inaugurating a new wave of old fashioned talent competitions, from Americas Got Talent to The X Factor. It did so by making stars, not hiring them. The original judges producer Simon Cowell, 80s pop star Paula Abdul, former A&R executive and bist Randy Jackson became iconic as judges, not for bringing their own pop star brands onto the show. But once Abdul, and later Cowell, left the franchise, it was reduced to relying on outside celebrities to attempt to bring audiences in losing ratings, its own star making power, and some of its identity as a forum for pop democracy in action. The shows producers started trying to generate ratings by moving the focus from the contestants to the judges, in a way that distracted from the shows musical focus and inspirational aura, as the legendary 2013 blowout between Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj proved.
