Kapanlagi.com - Indonesian Idol is back with its 13th season, celebrating 20 years of its existence as the largest talent search event in Indonesia. Since its first airing in 2004, Indonesian Idol has become the Home of The Idols, producing major stars such as Judika, Lyodra, Tiara Andini, and Salma Salsabil. This long journey has left an important mark in the Indonesian music industry, making this event a real dream platform.
This 13th season offers many innovations, one of which involves 10 Idol alumni as mentors in the early audition stages. "In each city, we hold Warm-Up Auditions with alumni, like Judika in Medan. This helps participants choose the right songs and improve their quality before performing in front of the main judges," said Fabian Dharmawan, SVP - Coordinator Production Operation RCTI.
According to Dini Putri, Programming & Acquisition Director of RCTI, the enthusiasm of participants this year has reached its peak. "The number of audition participants has doubled, from 17,000 last year to 35,000 this year. Besides quantity, the quality has also improved, making the judges work extra hard in the judging process," he explained.

One of the alumni who enlivened the press conference for Indonesian Idol XIII is Gisella Anastasia, a finalist from season 5 in 2008. Gisel reminisced about her quarantine days in Gading Serpong, which became a valuable experience in her journey as a singer.
"Back then, every Friday was sacred because it was the night of determination through SMS voting. Everything is very different compared to now," she said during the press conference in Kebon Jeruk, West Jakarta, on Thursday (5/12/2024).

Gisel also recalled the unique moment during her first audition. She appeared with a distinctive crown that she usually wore while being a wedding singer, singing the song 'Ratu Sejagat'. "I thought it was funny to wear that crown. But when I sang, I got nervous, and my microphone slipped," reminisced the former wife of Gading Marten while laughing.
The long journey of Indonesian Idol not only produces stars but also witnesses the transformation of the music scene in the country. Big names like Mahalini, Marion Jola, and Salma Salsabil continue to capture attention with their achievements, both nationally and internationally.
Not only that, this latest season is expected to give birth to a new generation of idols ready to enliven the music industry. The talent search process this time will air starting December 9, 2024, every Monday and Tuesday at 21:15 WIB on RCTI.
Gisella Anastasia herself is a testament to how Indonesian Idol has been the starting point for the careers of many stars. "I am very grateful to be a part of Idol's history. This is where those big dreams begin," she said.
As a celebration of 20 years, Indonesian Idol XIII not only presents fierce competition but also nostalgia for a two-decade journey full of meaning. The audience is invited to witness the birth of future stars on screen.
Indonesian Idol continues to prove itself as the most prestigious talent search event in Indonesia. It is not only a place to dream but also a home for stars that bring hope, inspiration, and pride to the music world of the homeland.
