TV Ratings: 'The Sing-Off' beats 'X Factor', Barbara Walters wins - 12/19/2013

Barbara Walters 10 Most Fascinating People had a 2.1 adult rating and 8.8 million viewers, the #1 and most watched show on Wednesday.

The Sing-Off had a 1.6 rating and 5.4 million viewers beating The X Factor again head-to-head which had a 1.3 rating and 5.02 million viewers.

A Home for the Holidays With Celine Dion had a 0.6 rating and 4.9 million viewers.

The iHeartRadio Jingle Ball had a 0.6 rating and 1.38 million viewers.

Michael Buble's 3rd Annual Christmas Special had a 1.3 rating and 4.99 million viewers.

Alex & Sierra made the case for a The X Factor renewal (I hope it's official and not Simon Cowell just saying it) -- but honestly, this was a bad rating for a finale.

So many people missed out on Paulina Rubio's performance last night. What a shame.
