DJ Y2K Malone™ Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Superstars Beyonce and Taylor Swift, two of music’s biggest forces today, both had TV Specials that came on last night during Thanksgiving. ‘Taylor Swift: Speak Now’ aired at 8pm whilst Beyoncé’s ‘I Am… World Tour’ Special aired at 9:30. The broadcast featured appearances by both Kanye West and husband Jay-Z. Beyonce was reportedly a bigger draw than Swift, which is not that surprising considering the amount of on-the-clock promotion that went into plugging the show. Congrats to her all the same. Everyone and their mama was talking about it last night. I guess selling a million albums a week dont always mean big ratings in tv special. http://www.hitfix.com/articles/tv-ratings-thanksgiving-viewers-shun-taylor-swift-beyonce-for-fox-nfl-overrun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henrietta. Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Are they going by demo rating or actual viewers? If that's the case then: Taylor: 1.2 adults 18-49 rating with 4.42 million viewers. Beyonce: 1.3 adults 18-49 rating with 4.13 million viewers. They're both still low as hell, but I'm trying to understand the difference between the rating and viewers. And let's not pretend that Taylor's being showed during the NFL and Bey's still being played when the NFL was done doesn't come to play 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That bitch is boring as fuck i don't care how many gazillion albums she sells. The only time I have ever seen her perform and be a tiny bit interesting is the subway performance on the MTV awards cause it had alot going on that wasnt just her being boring.

Not really...I just liked the part when she was in the studio writing and stuff for her album...shortly after that I caught myself laying down and trying to keep my eyes open. I'm sure it's gonna be on the re-release for her album. I liked that MTV awards performance too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s.omner Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 I wouldn't call Taylor really a big force to be reckon with. I love her songs, but her performances are pretty dull and boring to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henrietta. Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 It doesn't make sense. 4.44 > 4.24 Bey was at 3. something but once the NFL went off, she went to 4. something. Taylor's played and went off while the NFL was on so she didn't get the lil "spike" at the end like Bey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
