'The Voice' may have usurped 'American Idol's throne, but this could be the year the crown is reclaimed

'American Idol' may not have as many rounds like 'The Voice' but when it comes to the finale, you already know the winners of the show have made it big.
UPDATED JAN 15, 2019

'American Idol' is returning to ABC for season 17 on March 3 this year as Ryan Seacrest will be taking up hosting duties once more. Country music star Luke Bryan, music icon Lionel Richie and singer-songwriter Katy Perry continue on the show as judges. Along with 'American Idol', 'The Voice' is also returning for its 16th season on February 25. 

Last year when 'American Idol' returned after a break, it secured the lowest ratings it had ever since its first season that premiered in 2002. It just had a total of 10.5 million viewers and as the show went on the viewers' ratings went lower and when the finale aired, the total viewers stood at 8.6 million alone. Though the ratings were higher than ABC's 'The Bachelor' it still didn't meet that of 'The Voice'.
