This is because IE (until IE 10) does not support Cross-Domain Resource Sharing.

tkonegives a good explanation here: getJSON is not Working in IE for Youtube. Unfortunately the solution he offers (add a ? at the end of the URL) does not work.

There are other solutions, an easy one would be to add &callback=?at the end of your URL, as suggested by Yosy:

$.getJSON('http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/'+video_id+'?v=2&alt=jsonc&callback=?',
    function(data,status,xhr){
        alert(data.data.title);
});
