After the duet format, Kira returned to the stage for a solo performance that also closed the Top 37. She performed Tamu Malam Minggu and successfully captured the audience's attention.

During her solo performance, Kira received a standing ovation from Lesti Kejora. This appreciation emphasized the public and judges' acceptance of the vocal character she presented that night.

2. Competition with Nana and Final Results

In the Top 37 round, Kira found herself in a critical situation. She nearly got eliminated and had to compete with Nana to stay in the competition. This moment became one of the crucial phases for her in the contest.

3. Judge's Notes

For the solo performance, Soimah provided notes regarding Kira's breathing technique, which was deemed still lacking stability. This feedback will be a point of focus for technical improvement in the next round.

On the other hand, Lesti Kejora expressed that she liked Kira's distinctive vocal character. This appreciation complemented the standing ovation Lesti gave for Kira's solo performance at the end of the night.
