Failed Last Year, This Participant from North Maluku Returns to Join Online Auditions for LIDA 2021

Kapanlagi.com - Liga Dangdut Indonesia (LIDA) 2021 will be back on Indosiar. However, due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, LIDA 2021 is forced to hold online auditions in 34 provinces in Indonesia from November 15, 2020, to January 17, 2021.

Nevertheless, this does not reduce the enthusiasm of participants from various provinces to participate in the biggest dangdut competition in the country. One of them is Setiawan, a participant from North Maluku who failed last year but is now trying again to audition for LIDA 2021. 

"Awan participated in LIDA 2019 before and Alhamdulillah was chosen to be in the top 80 and performed on Indosiar. Because this is an online audition, it requires a good network and a lot of preparation," said Setiawan during a virtual interview on Sunday (12/13).

1. Not Wanting to Give Up

Although he failed in LIDA 2020, Setiawan does not want to give up and wants to continue developing his singing talent. He also wants to fulfill his parents' dream of having their child become a dangdut singer. 

"Because Awan feels that yesterday was not his fortune, so Awan must keep trying, keep developing his talent. Hopefully, there will be another opportunity. Because as a young person, we should never give up. This is also the dream of parents who want their child to become a dangdut singer," said the 20-year-old man. 

2. Wanting to Succeed Like Lesti

Setiawan also wants to be successful like dangdut singers from Indosiar such as Lesti, Gunawan, and others. Moreover, dangdut songs are increasingly popular among young people.

"Awan also wants to be a professional dangdut singer who can motivate young people like Lesti, kak Gunawan who was the runner-up in LIDA," said Setiawan.
