            With 'Q'Viva!,' Fox Gives J-Lo a Public Ego Stroke

            By: Brian Lowry

            Published: Sun, March 04, 2012, 9:06 AM


            Fox didn't send "Q'Viva! The Chosen" out for review, and there's a reason: In the bigger scheme of things, it's only secondarily a TV show -- and a derivative one at that, "Latin America's Got Talent."

            The program's larger purpose, clearly, is to provide an extra incentive, an ego stroke, to satisfy its co-host superstar, "American Idol" judge Jennifer Lopez.

            Lopez produces the talent showcase with her ex-husband, Marc Anthony. And she told the Los Angeles Times that she thought the show would do perfectly fine, despite its rather grim Saturday timeslot, in a piece that oddly failed to quote -- or explain why it didn't quote -- a single Fox executive about that scheduling decision.

            But who are we kidding? Fox wanted to make Lopez happy by ordering the show. And the network obviously didn't think it would be a ratings barn-burner, so it then sought to mitigate the risk by running it on a night every other network has turned into "Encore Presentation" theater.

            Not surprisingly, the ratings were at best tepid: Averaging 2.2 mllion viewers, according to preliminary Nielsen figures, edging only NBC's burnoff of "The Firm" among the broadcast networks.

            As for the actual series, I watched Saturday's premiere (thank goodness for TiVo), and seeing Spanish subtitles on the usual reality-TV sob stories didn't qualify as a major creative breakthrough. The one moment that stood out had to do with the couple's relationship, with Anthony leering at some buxom Puerto Rican twins and acting like Lopez was going to be jealous. If it was meant to be cute, it mostly came off as a little weird and creepy.

            So like a salsa dancer who isn't particularly thrilled with his or her partner, this is one of those instances where everybody is just going through the motions.

            What I don't entirely understand is why people seem skittish about stating the obvious: Dress it up all you want in sequins and glitter, and "Q'Viva" is a vanity project, pure and simple -- "Sabado Ego Trip." Just once I'd like to hear someone at Fox say, "Look, J-Lo is very important to us, and this is a passion project for her. Frankly, if she wanted to film her trips to the supermarket or yoga sessions, we'd probably commit to six on the air."

            Whatever language you choose to use, in Hollywood, that's life.

            :(

            "Weird and creepy?" LOL poor Marc. :coffee

              TV Ratings Saturday: 'Q'Viva: The Chosen' Underperforms, ABC Wins Easy with '20/20'

              Written By Amanda Kondolojy

              March 4th, 2012

              Fox's premiere of new talent competition Q'Viva: The Chosen didn't do as well as expected, and easily delivered the night to ABC, who built on a strong repeat showing of Wipeout, and followed up with a two-hour 20/20 special: 'My Extreme Affliction'

                Underperforms? Isn't that what the Spanish one was getting? lol I think it did great for it's timeslot and the fact that it's a Latin-themed show. The US tends to ignore these types of shows. Look at how quickly Ugly Betty went down (or maybe it was the quality of the show...lol)

                And yay @ EW liking it.
                :rolleyes @ Variety not liking it. They always hate everything Jen does...EVERYTHING.

                  I wonder what figures were expected? Millions of Latinos already saw it on Univision, which dilutes the target audience. Plus, it's not like they promoted the English version. Fox only started running commercials this week. Even in a segment they did on GMA on Friday, they said it aired on Univision, not Fox.

                            I'm one the fans that didn't like the idea of this show 'Que viva' (and I still don't like it!) but after watching it I have to say that there're some positive things about it, but as usual the combination of Jennifer and Marc together is not very atractive to american (non latin) viewers (remember the movie "El Cantante'? it didn't do very well)

                            I'm glad this is their last project together!

                            I really hope the show do well with the ratings because we don't want to add another flop on Jenn's list.

                            But, unfortunatelly the ratings sucked yesterday for the premiere on Fox, hopefully the word of mouth will give the show some traction and the numbers will improve for next Saturday!

                                    LOS ANGELES – March 3, 2012 – As ¡Q’Viva! The Chosen debuts in English on the Fox network in North America for the first time this weekend, new figures reveal that over 30 million TV viewers are now watching the show across the Americas.



                                    ¡Q’Viva! The Chosen is made in three languages, it is shown in twenty one countries, and it has now become one of the biggest new international TV shows of 2012. Spanish-speaking fans were the first to fall in love with the show as ¡Q’Viva! The Chosen became #1 on #2 in its timeslot across all networks in Puerto Rico, Peru, Uruguay, the Dominican Republic, Colombia and Brazil, while delivering audience share of 35% in Uruguay, 33% in Columbia and 22% in Ecuador. In Puerto Rico, ¡Q’Viva! The Chosen increased Saturday night viewership by a spectacular 60%, and in Uruguay by 50% when it opened last month, and additional solid debuts in Venezuela,Chile, Mexico, El Salvador and other countries have added further viewers in the last two weeks and it will continue to grow as other territories sign up to screen the show.

It opened in Spanish on Univision on January 28 2012 and was seen by 2.2 million viewers, making it the night’s second most-watched program on Spanish-language television in the United States. And on March 3rd the English language version of the show opened on Fox drawing another 2.2 million viewers, a notable achievement for a new format opening on a Saturday night. After adding this North American audience to the show’s huge weekly Spanish audience, ¡Q’Viva! The Chosen now reaches over 30 million viewers each week.



                                    Simon Fuller, comments: “Q'Viva! is one of the first network shows ever to broadcast simultaneously throughout the Americas in three languages. With over 30 million viewers in total already and more than 4 million people watching in the US in both English and Spanish language, this has been an extraordinary experiment. The Q'Viva! story will continue to grow throughout 2012 as more and more countries sign up to broadcast the show”.



                                    "We are thrilled with the overwhelming response from audiences across the entire American continent to this extraordinary celebration of Latin culture,” said Endemol Studios CEO Philippe Maigret. “This is an incredible start for the show, and we are very excited to roll it out globally."



                                    Created by Simon Fuller’s XIX Entertainment, Jennifer Lopez, Marc Anthony, and Jamie King, in collaboration with BlackBerry®, ¡Q’VIVA!
