Indonesian Idol is an Indonesian reality television singing competition created by Simon Fuller and produced by RCTI Production Team and FremantleMedia Asia. The show began airing on RCTI in March 2004 and became one of the most popular shows in the history of Indonesian television. Part of the Idol franchise, it was as a spin-off from the UK show Pop Idol.
The concept of the series is to find new solo recording artists where the winner is determined by the viewers. Through telephone calls, SMS text, and the RCTI+ app voting, viewers have chosen 12 winners to date: Joy Tobing, Mike Mohede, Ihsan Tarore, Rini Wulandari, Januarisman, Igo Pentury, Regina Ivanova, Nowela Auparay, Maria Simorangkir, Lyodra Ginting, Rimar Callista, and Salma Salsabil (listed in chronological order).
The series employs a panel of judges who critique the contestants' performances. The judges of the inaugural season were jazz musician Indra Lesmana, pop diva Titi DJ, radio personality Meuthia Kasim, and film director Dimas Djayadiningrat. The judging panels in the following seasons included TV hosts Indy Barends and Jamie Aditya, composer Erwin Gutawa, musicians Ahmad Dhani, Anang Hermansyah, and Maia Estianty; and singers Agnez Mo, Armand Maulana, Tantri Syalindri, Rossa, Ari Lasso, Bunga Citra Lestari, David Bayu, and Indonesian Idol season 2 runner-up Judika.
The show's inaugural season was hosted by radio DJ Atta and TV host Irgi Ahmad Fahrezy. In 2006, MTV Indonesia's VJ Daniel Mananta replaced Irgi as the main host, while singer Dewi Sandra replaced Atta in 2008, until Daniel Mananta became the sole host of the show in 2010–2012. In 2017, presenter Sere Kalina was added as a second host. In 2020, TV host, YouTuber, and former VJ Boy William replaced Daniel Mananta as the sole host of the show.
The show has won several awards, including the 2005 and 2006 Panasonic Awards for the Best Music Variety Show. The show won over its popular rival singing competition show at the time, Akademi Fantasi Indosiar (known locally as AFI).
After the fifth season, the show was discontinued because of declining ratings before it resumed with its sixth season in 2010. The seventh season was held in 2012 and rapidly became the most successful season in the history of Indonesian Idol. Originally planned to be replaced by X Factor Indonesia in 2013, both shows were broadcast every alternate year. The show's rating declined again in 2014 which resulted in another discontinuation, when it was replaced by The Voice Indonesia. However, due to its low ratings, RCTI announced in June 2017 that Indonesian Idol would return after a three-year hiatus. The 13th season of the show is planned to air in 2025.
Judges and hosts
[edit]The show originally had four judges, namely jazz musician Indra Lesmana, Indonesian pop singer Titi DJ, radio personality Meuthia Kasim, and film director Dimas Djayadiningrat. In season three, radio and television personality Indy Barends replaced Meuthia Kasim because of Meuthia's health. Indy stayed only for one season and left the show before season four. In season four, MTV video jockey, actor, and radio host Jamie Aditya replaced Indy Barends; and musician, singer, producer, and impresario Anang Hermansyah replaced Dimas Djay. In season five, Jamie left the panel, and only three judges—Indra, Titi, and Anang—were left. In 2010, Indra Lesmana and Titi DJ left the panel and were replaced by composer and conductor Erwin Gutawa and singer–actress Agnes Monica. Indonesian and Malaysian pop singer Rossa joined the panel to be the fourth judge. In 2012, Anang Hermansyah and Agnes Monica returned as judges, while a frontman of Dewa 19—musician, composer, and hits-maker music producer Ahmad Dhani—replaced Erwin Gutawa. In 2014, Titi DJ returned to the panel, while Agnes Monica left the panel and was replaced by singer and vocalist of Kotak Band Tantri Syalindri. Anang and Dhani returned as judges. In 2018, RCTI announced that all judges from last season would not be returning and the number of the panel was changed from four judges to five. Pop-rock singer and ex-frontman of Dewa 19, Ari Lasso; frontman of Gigi and songwriter Armand Maulana; music producer and musician Maia Estianty; actress and pop singer BCL, and the runner-up of Indonesian Idol season 2, Judika, were all set for the panel. For season 10, or "Idol X", all the judges from previous season returned, except for Armand, due to his duties on another talent show, who was replaced by a previous season's judge, Anang Hermansyah, after a hiatus of one season. In the 2020 season, BCL was replaced by pop singer Rossa, due to BCL's mental health after her husband's death in the same year. In the 2022 season, Maia and Ari were replaced by the judge exiting from the Special Season; BCL also rejoined the panel. The ex-frontman of Naif, David Bayu, was the new judge.
Guest judges may occasionally be introduced. In season one, the guest judge was pop singer Krisdayanti. In season two, musician, music producer, composer, and songwriter Yovie Widianto[1] replaced Dimas Djay. Musician, composer, songwriter, and music producer Ahmad Dhani[2] replaced Meuthia Kasim in the Any Cities audition. In season four, Titi DJ was replaced several times by comedian, actress, radio host, and singer Tika Panggabean[3] in the Spectacular Show. In season six, singer, songwriter, music producer, composer, and music arranger Melly Goeslaw; Ahmad Dhani; frontman for ST 12 Charly van Houten; frontman for Ungu Pasha; and frontman for Gigi Armand Maulana were the guest judges in the Spectacular Show. Guest judges were used in the audition rounds in seasons five, six, and seven: such as singer Rio Febrian, Melly Goeslaw, singer and songwriter Nugie, and Yovie Widianto in season five[4] and Melly Goeslaw, Ahmad Dhani,[5] singer Hedi Yunus, pop-jazz singer Andien, and singer Nina Tamam in season seven.
The first two seasons were presented by Amelia Natasha (a.k.a. Ata) and Irgi Ahmad Fahrezy. Irgi quit after the second season and was replaced by Daniel Mananta. In the fifth season, Ata left the show and was replaced by RnB, dance, and pop singer Dewi Sandra. Since the sixth and seventh seasons, only Daniel Mananta was the host. In the eighth season, Pica Priscilla and Lolita Agustine acted as the backstage hosts. In the ninth and tenth seasons, Sere Kalina was also a host, with Daniel Mananta. In the eleventh season, actor, rapper, TV host, and YouTuber Boy William replaced Daniel Mananta as the host. However, when Boy William was tested positive for COVID-19 at the end of December 2020, until mid-January 2021, Daniel Mananta returned to be guest host. When Boy recovered, he hosted, together with Daniel, until Daniel left at end of January 2021.

Selection process
[edit]In a series of eliminations, the show selects the eventual winner out of many tens of thousands of contestants.
Auditions
[edit]There are 2 rounds of auditions which usually take place in large convention halls where thousands of people waited in line. The first-round judges are the Sony BMG people. Those who passed the first round of auditions continued to audition in front of the main judges. Contestants are required to sing a cappella, with poor singers often facing intense and humbling criticism from the judges. Typically, the judges express disgust or dismay or suppress laughter. Those who impress the majority of the judges, move on to the elimination round, which takes place in Jakarta. Usually only 150 to 170 contestants get through to the elimination round in Jakarta.
Contestants have to be Indonesian citizens. For the first season, contestants were required to be between the ages of 18 and 24 years old. To increase variety, in the second and third season the age requirement was lowered from 18 to 16 and the upper age limit was raised from 24 to 28. As a result, there were many teenagers that made it to the final 12, such as Monita and Vira in the second season, and also Tesa, Brinet, Christy, Ihsan, Gea, and Dirly in the third season. In the fifth season, the eligible age-range for contestants was from 17 to 29.
Elimination round
[edit]There are 3 elimination rounds. In the first elimination round, 170 contestants from around Indonesia are separated into 17 groups of 10 contestants eacj. In the second elimination round, male and female contestants are paired and sing duets. In the last elimination round the remaining contestants sing their choice of song, alone in front of the judges. The judges then inform them whether they have made it onto the stage show or not.
Workshop round
[edit]Season 1
[edit]In the first season, 30 contestants were separated in groups of 10, and every week three contestants from each group were chosen for the Top 10 or The Spectacular Show. Audiences voted their favorites by SMS texting and Premium Calls. After 9 contestants were chosen, there was a wild card round. Only one contestant from the Wild Card round could join the 9 contestants at the Spectacular Show. Karen Theresia Pooroe won the most audience votes, advancing to the Top 10. Although the Spectacular Show was supposed to have a set of 10 contestants,[6] the judges announced at the last minute that they would be advancing a second wild card, an eleventh, contestant, Lucky Octavian, as well.
Season 2
[edit]In the second season, there was no Wild Card round. 24 contestants were separated into groups of 8. Every week, 4 contestants were picked to move on to the Top 12.
Season 3
[edit]In the third season, the Workshop stage consisted of three rounds, each, for male and female contestants. There were 28 contestants that made it to the Workshop stage in the first week, with eight contestants (four males and four females) being sent home. Six contestants (three males and three females) were sent home in the second week, and the final Workshop eliminated four more contestants (two males and two females). Before the Spectacular round, a pre-gala and wild-card show was held. Four of the eliminated contestants were chosen by the judges and two of them, one male and one female, were given a place in the Spectacular Show based on the result of an audience vote.
Season 6
[edit]The sixth season saw several changes to the format of the show. There were 14 finalists, instead of 12. In the Workshop round, 24 semi-finalists were divided into 2 groups. Each consisted of 6 males and 6 females. Four contestants from each group got voted off in the first and second weeks, and two in the third, fourth, and fifth weeks, resulting in the Top 10 contestants, who filled 10 of 14 spots in the Spectacular Show. The judges selected 8 of the previously eliminated 14 semi-finalists to compete in the Wild Card round. Two contestants were picked based on votes by the audience, while the other two were selected by the judges. An additional four contestants (two males and two females) advanced to the final group of 14.
Spectacular Show
[edit]In the Spectacular Show stage, which continues over eleven weeks, each finalist performs a song live (two in the top 4 and top 3 and three in the finale) in prime time, with a weekly theme, at the Balai Sarbini Concert Hall in Jakarta, in front of live audiences. Unlike American Idol, Indonesian Idol's Result Show is conducted about 1-hour after the Spectacular Show. The Result Show is conducted 7 days after the Grand Finale. In the Result Show, some finalists who get the fewest votes are put in the bottom three or bottom two. Each week, the finalist with the fewest votes is sent home. This process is repeated each week until the one remaining contestant is declared the winner.
Indonesian Idol's famous sentence announcing the result is Indonesia Memilih! (Indonesia has chosen!/Indonesia voted...), along with a 1-minute pause and, at last, the result. Every season, the two remaining finalists in the Grand Finale sing a new single for the Winner's Record. The song is to be recorded on the winner's album.

Season 1
[edit]The first season was in 2004, when the auditions were held in five cities: Medan, Yogyakarta, Bandung, Surabaya, and Jakarta. 32,000 people auditioned. The show became a phenomenon, with the Grand Finale, in September 2004, watched by about 4 million people. There were several people, who sang off-key in the auditions, who competed on the Coba Lagi Awards (Retry Awards). The winner of this award became a guest star on The Top 11 Spectacular Show's Result Show.
The number of the finalists in the first Spectacular Show was originally planned to be 10. However, the judges then made a surprising move by picking Lucky Octavian to also get the wild-card ticket (the first wild card ticket was taken by Karen Pooroe) making the number of contestants 11. Guy Sebastian who was in Indonesia for his album promo tour, was a guest star at the Top 7 Spectacular Show.[7]
Indonesian Idol released its first compilation album, Indonesian Idol: Indonesian All Time Hits. The album was hugely successful and gained Double Platinum status.[8] In the album, the Top 11 sang their first hit, Ekspresi.
The two finalists who battled at the Grand Finale were Joy Destiny Tobing and Delon Thamrin. There were 7,000 people who watched the show live at Istora Senayan, Jakarta.[9] The soon-to-be Indonesian president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono also watched the Grand Finale.[10]
Joy signed a contract deal with BMG Indonesia, the partner of Indonesian Idol's 19 Management. Not so long after her victory, Joy released her first album, Terima Kasih (Thank You), including her new single, most notable as her coronation song, "Karena Cinta".[11]
After the show, the top 10 finalists (minus Helena Andrian, who withdrew from participation due to a contract problem) had a tour around Indonesia. They visited Bandung, Semarang, Surabaya, and Medan. Indonesian Idol finalists were given the opportunity as the opening singers on an American Idol tour in Singapore not long after the show.
A few weeks after the tour, Joy's contract with the show's producer, FremantleMedia, was terminated after some problems regarding the terms of her contract.[12][13][14] As a result, runner-up Delon Thamrin was afterwards more heavily promoted by Fremantle.
After leaving Indonesian Idol, Joy made her first international album called Rise.[15] Rumors had it that Joy had been planning to resign from Indonesian Idol since the audition brought her fame. Delon got his first role as a movie star by starring in the movie Vina Bilang Cinta with Indonesian actress Rachel Maryam.[16]
Before Joy left, Helena also resigned from Indonesian Idol[17][18] and released her first solo album in 2005, titled Keajaiban Cinta.[19] Nania, the second runner-up, and Karen also chose to resign shortly after Helena.[20]
Delon's first album was released in October 2004, with the single "Bahagiaku". His album also had a huge success.[21] He was also featured on Indonesian singer Andre Hehanusa's album with his single "Aku Masih Cinta" ("I still Love You"). Delon's second album was released in December 2005. Delon was nominated as the Best New Singer in Anugrah Planet Muzik 2005. He also won a 2005 SCTV Award as Best New Artist.
Michael Jakarimilena appeared in a movie about a Papua boy, as one of the villagers.[22] The movie was released in Indonesia in 2006. Winda Viska Ria acted on the local sitcom called OB Office Boy. Nania was featured in Indra Lesmana's album and sang "Sedalam Cintamu" ("As Deep as Your Love") with Indra Lesmana. Adika Priatama has been working for RCTI as a news anchor.

1 The first week of the Spectacular Show was a Double Elimination Week and four contestants were announced as unsafe.
2 Due to having appendicitis, Nania was absent from the Top 7 show,[23] leaving the show with only 6 contestants. She was allowed to remain on the show, proceeding to the top 6-week, but just for one week. Otherwise she would automatically be voted off.
3 It was revealed that the number of votes cast during the Grand Finale week was approximately 4 million. Less than 6 percent separated Joy and Delon.[24]
Season 2
[edit]The second season started on 25 March 2005. Auditions were held from 15 February to 17 March in five cities: Makassar, Yogyakarta, Bandung, Surabaya and Jakarta. The audition in Medan was canceled due to the 2004 tsunami that destroyed most of Aceh and North Sumatra. Instead, that audition was held in Makassar. There were 38,000 people who auditioned for the second season.
There were some changes in the second season, such as there being no Wildcard round, and the number of the finalists on the spectacular show being 12. Nine male, but only three female, contestants made it to the Top 12. It is the only Indonesian Idol season to have a gender imbalance among the finalists.
The Indonesian Idol Season 2 compilation album was released three weeks after the Spectacular Show began. The title of the album was Seri Cinta or Love Songs. The single album-hit was "Cintaku", sung by Season 2's Top 12.
The two finalists in the Grand Finale were Mike and Judika. The Grand Finale was held at the Plenary Hall of Jakarta Convention Center. In the Result Show, some stars became guest stars, one of whom was Christian Bautista, a male singer from the Philippines. Pop singer Ruth Sahanaya made a surprise appearance for Mike and Judika when they sang her song, "Tak Kuduga". Season 1 finalists came to the Result Show and sang together with Season 2's finalists.[25]
Only 1 million votes were cast during the Grand Finale week. Mike took the crown by a slim two percent margin.[26] Judika led the vote before the Result Show, but Mike passed him and won.[27]
Not long after the finale, Mike released his self-titled album with his new single, "Semua Untuk Cinta (All For Love)". Many Indonesian composers contributed songs to Mike's first album, including "Cinta Tak Bertuan", composed by Glenn Fredly. Runner up Judika had released his solo album in August 2006. The Top 12 contestants had a tour of Surabaya. The tour was initially planned with stops at Bandung, Yogyakarta, and Makassar. However, Fremantle canceled it without giving any reason. After seven years passed, some of the finalists of Season 2 were confirmed to return to the music industry. Maya (now Kamaya) launched his first mini album in 2010; Wisnu, who had changed his name to Nino, released two singles in 2011; Monita, who placed fourth this season, launched her first album in 2010, produced by former judge Indra Lesmana. Also, Judika became a judge in Season 9.
Ronald Silitonga, Wisnu, Danar Indra, and Top 8 of Season 3 contestant Sisi Hapsari have formed a Christian music group called Awaken, which had mild success singing Indonesian gospel. In 2013, Danar Indra confirmed the launch of his first single, "Untuk Apa" ("What For") written by Bemby Noor, who has written for Afgan and Girlband Cherrybelle.
In 2016, the public was shocked by the death of Mike Mohede from a heart attack on a Sunday afternoon. It became the most trending topic ever in Indonesian entertainment history, and he was named as one of the best personalities in Indonesian Music. Weeks later, some winners of Indonesian Idol, and other finalists, gave a tribute concert watched by thousands of fans.
In 2017, Top 12 finalist Danar Indra confirmed, through his fan page, that he would release his first Christian Contemporary album and work with the keyboardist of Tompi and Trio Lestari. In January 2018, Danar had signed a solo deal with an independent Christian label, and on 18 January 2018, Danar released his debut solo single "Tuhan Adalah Gembalaku". The single did exceptionally well in digital and became fans' long awaited single, after 12 years, and he became the first Indonesian Contemporary Christian artist in the millennial era (2010–2018). On 18 February 2018, Danar released his debut album, And I'm Dancing... digitally. The album was influenced by the ups and downs in his life, spiritual experiences, and Psalm 23. There are ten tracks, one of which is the international version of his first single, a duet with one gospel singer Maya Uniputty. Following the success of his debut album, he released a recycled CCM song: "Kau Sangat Ku Cinta", written by Franky Sihombing, in an acoustic version. In 2020, Danar teamed with The Voice Indonesia semi-finalist Jims Wong, to release a sophomore single, "Rencana-Mu", featuring Viona Paays. The single was mastered by Nashville Auto Mastering in the US and had mild success as a new Christian Contemporary song. In 2022, Danar teamed with a Christian worship leader and former vocalist of Lifetree, Franky Kuncoro, to release a recycled song: "Pilihan Yang Terbaik", in both studio and live versions, which aired on Revivo Channel. Danar produced a new album, Greatest Story Ever Told, launched at the end of 2022.

Season 3
[edit]The third season of Indonesian Idol was launched on 21 April 2006. The auditions were held at some of Indonesia's major cities, such as Jakarta, Bandung, Yogyakarta, Surabaya, and Medan. This season, Indonesian Idol also conducted smaller auditions other cities, such as Manado and Ambon. The contestants who passed the initial round in both Manado and Ambon were eventually brought into an elimination round in Surabaya. After an additional elimination round, the final group of contestants was brought to Jakarta to determine the final twelve contestants who made it onto the Spectacular Show.
As in previous Indonesian Idol seasons, the Spectacular Show was held in Balai Sarbini (Sarbini Building) in South Jakarta. The third season's finalists were considered better than those of the previous seasons by the judges. However, there were some surprising eliminations at the Spectacular Show. Depe, who was regarded as a strong contender, became the first contestant to be eliminated.[28] Indra Lesmana said that Depe was eliminated way too soon. Sisi, who was a huge favorite amongst judges, was eliminated on the fifth Spectacular Show. The Final Three consisted of Gea, Dirly, and Ihsan. Gea's fans' votes were not enough to save her from elimination from the Top 3. This left Dirly and Ihsan to battle at the Season 3 Grand Finale for the Indonesian Idol title.[29] The Grand Finale was held at the Istora Senayan (Senayan Athletic Complex) in Central Jakarta. The live audience numbered approximately 7,000 people. "Kemenangan Hati", the winner's single for the third season, was written by Indonesia's top composer, Yovie Widyanto, who also served as guest judge at the Indonesian Idol's Season 2 auditions. The Grand Finale week garnered a total of approximately 2.7 million votes. Ihsan won with a margin of 10 percent more votes than Dirly.[30]
The compilation album for the third season was Tribute to Tonny Koeswoyo. Tonny, one of the founding members of Koes Plus, a legendary Indonesian Rock Band, died in 1987. Before his death, he and his brothers produced more than a few catchy tunes that people still remember today. The Top 12 Finalists sang "Nusantara" (Nusantara is the other name for Indonesia) as well as Koes Plus' other famous hit songs, such as "Diana" and "Kembali ke Jakarta" (Return to Jakarta).
Since the show ended, Dirly and Gea have debuted their acting career in a TV drama called Idola (Idol), which was aired on RCTI every Mondays at 8 pm.[31] Ihsan also acted in an Islamic religious series called Maha Kasih, which is also on RCTI.

Season 6
[edit]On 12 March 2009, RCTI's CEO announced that Indonesian Idol would not be running a sixth season.[35] But in late October 2009, RCTI surprised its audience by showing a short commercial of the Indonesian Idol logo. Rumors started spreading that Indonesian Idol will be officially back in 2010 after a hiatus for one season. No press confirmation has been delivered to the media over the actual comeback itself. The judges for the sixth season are Agnes Monica, Erwin Gutawa, Rossa and Anang Hermansyah.
After many rumors, RCTI finally confirmed the return of Indonesian for Season 6, by making audition commercials that featured Daniel Mananta (who will be back for hosting), which confirmed that Indonesian Idol will be back in 2010. The auditions for Season 6 is going to be held from December 2009. Auditions were held in 17 cities.[36] There was a form to fill in on the Indonesian Idol website to try for auditions for 2010. Auditioners had to be between the ages of 16 and 27 by 16 November 2009. The sixth season of Indonesian Idol premiered on 5 March 2010, on RCTI.
The sixth season saw several changes to the format of the show. There were 14 finalists instead of 12. Another change in the format, which was revealed on the fourth week of the Spectacular Show, is the one-time veto power for the judges to save a contestant who was eliminated by the viewers' votes.

[edit]RCTI confirmed the return of Indonesian Idol for a seventh season, which aired from 17 February 2012, every Fridays and 8:00 pm.
The show, which was dropped the previous year for the launch of 'MasterChef Indonesia' made a comeback later in the year. In 2012, RCTI appointed Fabian Dharmawan to be the Executive Producer and a project leader for Indonesian Idol 2012, while Fremantle Media appointed Glenn Sims to lead the new creative direction and tone for the series. Both Dharmawan and Sims worked closely to free the show of heavy-handed gimmicks that had bogged down previous seasons and to dramatically lift production values. As a result, compared to all the previous seasons, this season of Idol achieved the highest rating and share in average and went on to become the most successful season in the history of Indonesian Idol.
Daniel Mananta who have previously hosted the show returned as the main host. The judges for this season were Anang Hermansyah, Agnes Monica, and Ahmad Dhani.

Controversies
[edit]- Joy (The winner of the first season) ceased all ties with Fremantle Media and the Indonesian Idol franchise within weeks of her victory due to contractual disagreements between Joy and the show's management Indomugi Pratama. This included a six-year contract with Sony BMG and several appearance commitments including singing at local malls. Joy found this offensive to the Idol title. All traces of her Idol journey were removed from the official site.
- During the Workshop Round of Season 4 and Season 5, many contestants said "Saya sudah berusaha.." ("At least I've tried...") or "Apabila saya diberi kesempatan untuk minggu depan, saya akan ..." ("If people give me the chance to stay here for another week, I will...") or "Apabila Indonesia memilih saya untuk minggu depan, saya...."("If Indonesia chose me for an aheading week, I....") when they received negative feedbacks from the panels. This stirred up some rumors among fans that it might have been scripted.
