Japan Blames Psy For American Idol’s Low Ratings

You know, denial is not just a river in Egypt…

Even though Psy‘s massive popularity is worldwide, the trend has not really reached Japan. Some even speculate that the Korean pop star’s overseas fame is a well maintained like and his YouTube views are a result of hired hands clicking refresh. Given this, it comes without a shock that some Japanese are blaming American Idol‘s finale’s lowest ratings, dropping below 20 million viewers.

A little bit over 14.3 million people watched this year’s finale, wich is 33 percent lover than las year’s 21.5 million. Psy performed his latest hit single, Gentleman. Some people commented:

Not surprising. He’s not so popular.

Or:

That’s lame, even for him.

And even:

It’s because you can’t refresh a TV program!

But Psy was not the only performer of the night, the roster included Marian Carey, The Band Perry, Frankie Valli and Jennifer Lopez. Still, Japanese anti-fans say that if the Korean singer was actually popular, the finale would’ve recorded billions of viewers.
