Kapanlagi.com - The atmosphere of the Final Audition of Group 4 Dangdut Academy 8, which was broadcast live on Friday (3/7/2026), turned emotional when Mela, a participant from Bandung, received sad news on stage. This moment occurred during the judging session after her performance.

The host then called one of Mela's family members to come on stage. Her father approached her, while Mela's mother was not present for this occasion.

1. The Family Delays Delivering the Sad News

The presence of Mela's father brought news that Mela had not known during the Final Audition. She was informed that her grandfather passed away in Garut on Thursday (2/7/2026), a day before the competition night.

The family intentionally kept this news so that Mela could remain focused on her performance on stage. Upon hearing the sad news, Mela immediately cried.

The atmosphere in the studio turned silent. Mela tried to calm herself amidst family, the hosts, and the judges who also showed their concern for her.

2. A Joint Prayer for Mela's Late Grandfather

After the news was delivered, the entire studio joined in a prayer for Mela's late grandfather. The prayer was led as a form of respect and a gesture of condolence to the family of the participant from Bandung.

Several judges also approached Mela and her father. Soimah, Dewi Perssik, and Wika Salim expressed their condolences directly while offering hugs to strengthen both of them.

This moment filled the atmosphere on the Dangdut Academy 8 stage with emotion, supported by the judges, hosts, and the audience present in the studio.

3. Allowed to Return to Garut

After receiving the sad news, Mela was granted permission to leave the competition for a while. The decision was made so that she could return to Garut and participate in the funeral procession of her grandfather with her family.

When leaving the stage, Mela still did not know the results of the jury's assessment in the Final Audition Group 4. The decision regarding her advancement in that round had not been communicated to her.
