To be fair, the ratios really are not that different. By my count, exactly 16 out of the 48 in Season 9 and 20 out of the 60 in Season 8 were singers.

Still, I do prefer watching the Vegas format, but they can stretch this format out to four episodes across 2-4 weeks and invite guest judges to boost ratings. It's not ideal for us, but it's the logical move for the producers.
