The battle of THE VOCE versus AMERICAN IDOL saw NBC the winner, beating the rebooted series in head-to-head action. IDOL drew 8.4 million viewers and a 1.8 rating in Adults 18-49. That is down over two million viewers and off by 22% in the A18-49 demographic, from Sunday night's premiere. Meanwhile, THE VOICE collected 3.3 million more viewers than IDOL and 33% advantage in the key demo ratings.

At 10 PM, ABC dominated the hour, with GOOD GIRLS a distant second place and an encore of NCIS in third.
