Bhita from Pangkalpinang Achieves All SO During Trio & Solo Performance, Advances to Top 31 D'Academy 8

Kapanlagi.com - Bhita, a contestant from Pangkalpinang in Dangdut Academy 8, secured her place in the next round after performing in Top 31 Group 1 on Monday, August 10, 2026. Joining the team coached by Fildan Rahayu, she received three Standing Ovation (SO) from the judges during both her trio and solo performances.

The Top 31 Group 1 round opened with a collaboration of three contestants: Anggini (Majene), Bhita (Pangkalpinang), and Alexa (Ciamis). They performed the song Egois by Lesti Kejora. This performance garnered full appreciation from the judges: Soimah, Nassar, and Lesti Kejora, who simultaneously gave three Standing Ovation.

In the evaluation, Soimah highlighted Bhita's vocal development. She described Bhita as a 'promising talent' who is consistent, and noted that her voice sounded clearer this time compared to her previous performances.

When performing solo, Bhita was the first to take the stage and chose the song titled Nirmala. The result was again maximum: three Standing Ovation from the judges. With this achievement, Bhita was declared to advance directly to the next round without going through an additional elimination process.

1. Coach's Praise for Bhita and the Challenge of the Song Nirmala

In his capacity as a coach, Fildan Rahayu gave special credit for Bhita's performance in this round. According to the singer from Baubau, Nirmala is one of the challenging songs when performed in the dangdut competition, and Bhita successfully conquered it on the Top 31 stage.

"As her coach, I am proud. Alhamdulillah my student was able to deliver the best in this round. Moreover, this time it was the song Nirmala. This song is one of the difficult songs in the dangdut competition. Alhamdulillah Bhita conquered this song in Top 31," praised Fildan Rahayu, quoted via YouTube Indosiar.

This praise complements the series of appreciation that Bhita has received since the collaboration session to the solo performance. Under the guidance of Fildan's team, the consistency she displayed became an important note on the Top 31 Group 1 night.

Bhita is indeed part of Fildan Rahayu's team this season. The synergy of both was evident from the preparation stage, and it bore fruit when they appeared in two different formats, both receiving Standing Ovation from three judges.

2. Bhita's Response and Support from Pangkalpinang

Bhita expressed relief and happiness after her performance in the Top 31. She emphasized that feedback from Fildan during the rehearsal was an important asset for refining the details of her performance. The results were evident on the main stage, as she performed in both trio and solo formats with positive responses from the judges.

"I didn't expect it, because during the rehearsal there were also some criticisms from coach Fildan Rahayu. But thank God, those critiques helped Bhita advance. I feel very satisfied, being able to pass in the first group of Top 31 feels great," said Bhita.

Outside the stage, support for Bhita flowed in from the people of Bangka Belitung. Several locations in the city of Pangkalpinang were known to host watch parties to cheer on her journey in the competition. Bhita herself is a fourth-semester student of the Computer Science program at Muhammadiyah University of Bangka Belitung.
