The competition in Group A opened with a duel performance between Felirenza (Bandung) and Vedra (Batam) who performed the song Rembulan popularized by Kris Dayanti. This opening performance received 3 standing ovations from the judges, namely Isyana Sarasvati, Uan Kaisar, and Adrian Khalif.

"I am very satisfied with your performance tonight because you showed that you can explore in your performances," said Isyana Sarasvati.

1. Aisyah and Elsa's Performance

The next duel, which was no less spectacular, featured Aisyah (Jakarta) and Elsa (Mamasa), who also received 3 standing ovations from Isyana Sarasvati, Uan Kaisar, and Ahmad Dhani thanks to their extraordinary performance of the song Cinta. "This performance is almost perfect, as everyone contributed, starting from the musical arrangement, and their vocals were also great," praised Ahmad Dhani.

Isyana Sarasvati also added that Elsa showed an incredible development from the previous weeks.

2. Alvian vs Sulthan

The next pair is Alvian (Sumba) vs Sulthan (Purworejo) with the song Menghujam Jantungku popularized by Tompi. Both received praise from Uan Kaisar when they performed scat singing.

"I feel you both brought a more relaxed vibe on stage, showing that you are very fast learners in adapting to mastering the stage," added Isyana Sarasvati.

Unlike the two judges, Ahmad Dhani thought their performance was quite boring. "Among the two of you, one will not be safe," said Ahmad Dhani.

3. Kayla vs Sheera and Solo Medley

The next duel pair Kayla (Malang) vs Sheera (Bali) also managed to capture the attention of the four judges. In addition to the duel performance, the participants also had the opportunity to showcase their abilities in a solo medley performance. The first medley performance was by Vedra (Batam), Kayla (Malang), Alvian (Sumba), and Aisyah (Jakarta).

"In this session, you can truly showcase your colors and skills; in this solo medley performance, your stamina is still very good even though this is your second stage tonight," said Isyana Sarasvati.

4. Other Solo Medleys

The next solo medley from Sulthan (Purworejo), Felirenza (Bandung), Sheera (Bali), and Elsa (Mamasa) also received praise from Adrian Khalif. "I am very happy to see your colors finally getting the chance to go solo".

Unlike Adrian Khalif, a different opinion came from Ahmad Dhani who said that the solo performances of the participants have not yet shown their individual colors and are not much different from their duel performances.

5. The Duel Top 16 Group B

The excitement of The Duel Top 16 continues on the next day (28/4/2026), with Group B showcasing their singing abilities in front of the judges, namely Ahmad Dhani, Titi DJ, Ardhito Pramono, and Isyana Sarasvati.

Another spectacular duel performance was by Felicia (Tangerang) vs Queen (Ambon) who performed the song Tak Ingin Usai popularized by Keisya Levronka, receiving a standing ovation from all four judges. "Felicia and Queen, you both complement and fill each other," said Titi DJ.

Their performance also garnered praise from Ahmad Dhani, "Felicia will definitely make it to the Top 2 and Queen will definitely make it to the Top 3."

The other two duel pairs, Fia (Makassar) vs Glenn (Deli Serdang) and Gerald (Ambon) vs Radit (Bandung), also captured the attention of the four judges. Just like Group A, the participants in Group B also showcased their abilities in a solo medley which also received praise from the judges.
