Ratings: American Idol drops just 3% from last week

American Idol 10 ratings are stabilizing. No big jumps or falls -- which is fantastic news for the show. The show was down 3% from last week and down 2% from last year - not bad! Looks like Steven Tyler (and Jennifer Lopez) are doing their ratings magic.

Live to Dance has a series low rating, which makes me really sad -- but I still love Paula Abdul.

From TVbytheNumbers:

Fox easily won the night as American Idol slipped only fractionally vs. last Wednesday night.

American Idol’s 8.9 adults 18-49 rating was down just 3% vs. last Wednesday’s 2 hour episode (but up 3% vs. Wednesday’s 8pm hour alone), and just 2% below the 9.1 adults 18-49 rating for the third Tuesday airing last season.

No good news for CBS, as Live To Dance held at a series low 1.0 adults 18-49 rating.
