Well, at least he’s not a sore loser…

The Voice UK dominated over Britain’s Got Talent this weekend, in a ratings war that’s been steadily turning in favor of the US import.

Simon Cowell tweeted Sunday:

A slightly irritated congrats to Danny and the BBC. But you didn’t have a dancing dog!

I thought our team made a fantastic show last night and congrats to them as well. Loving the show this year. @GotTalent

The popularity of the show may be due - in some parts - to its positive, feel-good attitude, as opposed to the the snide, snarky humor of Cowell on BGT.

It’s still a long season ahead…we wonder who will emerge as the reality TV victor??

    This is from the Netherlands, where ALL the original reality shows came from. Come Perez…you should know this.

    Re: astrochicks – You're expecting way too much if you think Hilton would take the time to research something on his own.

    The Voice UK got 9.5 million viewers and BGT 9 million. What does it really matter who's first when so many DVR the shows.
