Bintang successfully captured attention with an adorable stage performance. Although his voice is starting to change due to puberty, the judges believe his foundation is strong and just needs to be honed with a coach.

He is also brave enough to take on the challenge of performing slow beats, up beats, Malay, and even rock songs. The judges only noted concerns about his breath control and a lack of confidence that still seems hesitant.

2. Shafiq Nunukan Amazes Judges with His Musical Skills

Shafiq appeared differently by shaking up the stage while playing the guitar. Not only is he skilled at strumming the guitar, but he is also adept at playing the flute and even dueted with Valen, who played the keytar.

His performance received much praise, while his dream of reviving the dangdut music industry through DA8 was appreciated by the judges.

3. Mela Bandung Becomes the Center of Attention for Valen and Arbil

Mela has a vocal quality recognized by the judges, although she still needs to improve on her microphone technique and dynamic play, which is too influenced by emotion.

During the singing challenge, Mela was flirted with by Valen and Arbil. She was then accompanied by Valen while performing the song Pesta Panen and even had a duet with Kani, who also hails from Bandung.

4. Anisa Ogan Komering Ilir Once Dueted with Melly Lee
