Indonesian Idol Top 10 – Metal Vs Dugem

Indonesian Idol this week into the round of top 10. This week the theme is Metal Vs Clubbing (In Indonesia word Dugem). This week will be an interesting week because some contestant will sing clubbing songs. Metal song is not a new theme in singing competition like this, but clubbing songs is very rarely performed in a singing contest like this. American Idol season 8 used to carry a theme like this on a large round 7 when in that week Lil Round and Anoop Desai out from the competition. In American Idol disco week be not like disco week because some contestants change the song to the ballad song.

How about the Indonesian Idol this week?? Because there are 10 contestants left in the competition, then in my opinion five contestants will sing metal song and another five contestants will sing clubbing song. Who will pick metal song?? And who will pick clubbing song?? I made some prediction and analysis on this post. Just check this out……

Citra – This is will be a difficult week for her. She is a jazzy singer, and this week she must sing a metal song or clubbing song. I had a moment of confusion, honestly. Two types of this song is not the type of songs who suit for her. My suggestion for Citra is clubbing song, I think clubbing song more better than metal song for her. I hope Citra does not impose any song to be a jazz.

Diana – This week will be a difficult week too for her. Diana is a pop-opera singer, and this week she must sing a metal or clubbing song. I can’t imagine Diana sing metal or sing clubbing. I prefer clubbing song for her than metal song. If Diana can perform well in this week, she will get praises from all judges because she out of her element. This week will be the risky week for her because she will be a star or will be the worst.

Fendi – My question for him, can he overcome this week with good?? I’m not sure, honestly. He must really smart in choosing songs. I prefer he choose a clubbing song, because he comfort with up-beat song. Just sing a song not enough for him, he must change the arrangement of the song or make an improvement which is can make judges happy with his performance.

Gilang – This week theme is profitable enough for him. He really liked sing an up-beat song, and he can doing that in this week. Although he can sing an up-beat song, he must give something new in his performance, change the arrangement, singing with hit the high notes (maybe, if he can) and another unusual thing. My prediction he will sing a metal (rock) song.

Igo – Igo is getting better every week and make him as a dark horse in this competition. Igo is underdog in the early of the competition, but he’s ready to compete with the front-runners (star) in this competition. I really want Igo pick a clubbing song and I hope it’s true. I think Igo will not face significant difficulties in this week.

Keyko – Keyko better pick a metal song. If she picks a clubbing song, she will be in trouble this week. She really has a problem in sing an up-beat song and her ability can’t conquer clubbing song right now. Also Keyko must bring something different to her performance. Everybody knows that she can sing very well, she can hit the high notes and the emotion to the song is amazing. Now everybody want more from Keyko. I hope she doing well this week.

Ray – I believe he will sing a metal song. He just proves in previous week that Ray can sing a rock song. Last week he sang a song from ST 12 and the arrangement is insane, very great performance. He is an opera singer, but I’m not worry about him. If he take a clubbing song and can perform well, definitely everybody will praises him include the judges, but sing a clubbing song is more risky for him, he can be a superstar or be the worst star in that night.

Rio – I know he can sing very well. I think he can singing well in rock (metal) song or clubbing song. I prefer to clubbing song because we will see a new Rio and will more give surprise to all people in Indonesia. I think with sing a clubbing song with very well, he will get praises again from the judges. C’mon Rio be better this week, be different, unique and show that you’re great singer.

Tesa – Definitely she must turn to a rock chick. She must sing an up-beat rock song. Everybody knows that she can sing a ballad song with great. She also gave a performance very current last week. This week she must sing an up-beat song, to make huge progression this week and make her more shinning in this competition.

Windra – I’m a little bit hopeless with this guy, honestly. Windra progression is the worst than the other contestants. Windra progress so slowly in this competition because nothing improvement in confidence, nothing improvement in star presence, just sing well with no pitchy and the honest emotion that his gave to the song. Definitely he must sing a metal song, if he sing a clubbing song, he will looks so awkward and weird and also very robotic.

Metal group: Gilang, Keyko, Ray, Rio, and Tesa
Clubbing group: Citra, Diana, Fendi, Igo and Rio

Indonesian Idol competition is leaving only 10 contestants, six boys and four girls. Six boys are Fendi, Gilang, Igo, Ray, Rio, & Windra. Four girls are Citra, Diana, Keyko & Tesa. Until now there are four people who left the show and there are three girls (Dea, Mona & Ica) and one boy (Andi). Indonesian Idol announced the shocking result last week because many people predict that Dea has a big chance and very potential for win this whole competition, leaving the show. So who will out this week?? I hope not a girl again. I hope one of this boys out (Fendi, Gilang, or Windra). The important thing is the worst performance deserver to going home or the bad progression also deserve to leave the competition.

Indonesian Idol Review Top 11, Shocking Result!!

Hu hu… :( I’m not watched Indonesian Idol top 11 with full. I watched from Igo performance until Windra performance. Just six performances that I watched live in Friday and there are Igo, Ray, Tesa, Rio, Keyko, & Windra. This is my review:

Igo – Cinta Dua Hati (Two Heart In Love)
Igo is getting better week by week. Igo is really a dark horse in this competition. Igo from the underdog position become front-runners in this competition. Igo align himself with the leading contestants. If Igo consistent with performance like this, I think he can arrive in the big five. Last week I said the best performance by you, but now this performance is the best performances by Igo during Idol competition. Two weeks in the row, you’re doing great!!

Ray – Aku Padamu (I’m on your)
Ray performance is so different from the original artist, ST 12. Ray gave a new taste in this song. This song is so magnificent interpret by Ray. This performance is one another best performance by you, Ray. That was great!!!

Tesa – Pelan Pelan saja (Slowly)
I’m happy with Tesa because the progression more significant week by week. Now Tesa not just a singer can hit the crazy high notes, but also can make a song sounds current. The arrangement was terrific, I’m crazy in love with the arrangement, and Tesa singing this song was very tremendous. High technique, very current and all things are great. This is the best performance by you in Indonesian Idol competition and I will hard to forget this performance, so memorable moment. Great job, Tesa!!!

Rio – Tanya Hati (Asked Hearts)
Rio performance still didn’t answer my expectation for him. Rio has some weird things. When Rio sang with very well and the emotion goes to lack also failed to connect with the song, but if Rio connect to the song also can get the emotion and Rio sang with very bad. Like Melly Goeslaw said focus when you sing, your eyes must be focus and feel the song because your eyes totally can speaks that you feel and connect to the song or no. Just good performance….

Keyko – Lama Lama Aku Bosan (I Would Get Bored)
Keyko must learn again how to sing an up-beat song because when Keyko sang an up-beat song, definitely not very well. In Ballad song, Keyko definitely can sing with very well and her emotion to the song was amazing. Very unfortunate it’s not equal with her ability in sing an up-beat song. This performance is alright performance for me, with nothing special moment.

Windra – Sahabat Jadi Cinta (Friend Become Love)
This song is so popular in Indonesia and this should be an advantage for Windra. Windra failed bring this song. Windra totally didn’t give anything to the song. He just sang the song with very well. Yes, sounded no pitchy when Windra sing. It’s not enough, Windra. If Windra want to be a superstar, he must give a something special to the song. This performance is karaoke performance, very forgettable, your style is so awkward and you're progression so far behind of the other contestants. If Windra want to stay longer in this competition, he really must give extra hard work to catch-up the other contestants. Windra your progression is too slowly.

I didn’t watch the performance from other five contestants like Citra, Fendi, Diana, Dea, dan Gilang. But don’t worry I will still give my review about them because I watched they performance in IndonesianIdol.com. Here it is my review for the rest….

Citra – Geregetan
This Citra performance is not the best performance by her, but still good performance. For the umpteenth time, you can make a song feel different and so refreshing. I liked the cuteness that Citra bring to this song. Not the best performance from Citra because I’ve got a little weird moment, but still good performance and very enjoyable performance. Good performance to warming-up this competition.

Fendi – Masih Disini Masih Denganmu (Still Here Still With You)
Nice performance by Fendi because this is Fendi comfort zone. Surely! Fendi will have a good performance by sing a song like this. Is this enough for idol competition?? Of course No!. Fendi if you want stay longer in this competition, you must lift-up your game Fendi. You can’t perform like this every week because people will get bored, for this week this performance still work, but for next two or three week this performance wouldn’t work. Just go back to your last week performance because last week performance more good than this, last week performance is very full effort and I liked that because you take some challenge in Idol journey.
Fendi, I have an advise for you to make you a little bit different than the other contestants, that advise is try acoustic performance. Whatever!, if you want take a double job like play guitar and singing in the same time or take other people to play the guitar and give a shade of acoustic. Just try acoustic performance because in my mind you will be great, so in the real world I hope so….

Diana – Symphoni Yang Indah (Beautiful Symphony)
This performance is the most enjoyable performance by Diana in entire Indonesian Idol competition. It’s not the best, but enjoyable (I mean easy to listening and taste). Diana also connects with the song and I can feel it so much, also I can smile, enjoy and taste the beauty of the song. Surely! Diana not left her identity that she is a pop-opera singer. That was great performance by Diana.

Dea – Baru Aku Tahu Cinta Itu Apa (I Just Know What Is Love)
Dea welcome back. If last week I said you’re going backward, but now you give a tremendous progression, for me. You really smart pick this song because this song is so hot right now and many people liked this song right now, so basically the people already fall in love with the song and people more fall in love again because this song singing with very great by Dea. The emotion was terrific and I believe everybody can feel your emotion. Well done, Dea!! You’re back to the game.

Gilang – Akulah Dia (I Am He)
Cool performance from Gilang, but this zone is Gilang comfort zone. At least, Gilang is getting better in his comfort zone. I think this appearance is the appearance of being almost no defects from Gilang, the emotion controllable, you focus to the song, and the act stage performance is great, you really comfortable in that stage. If I just see you, yes you’re doing a pretty good job, but if I must compare to the other contestants… I’m not sure this performance will be the strong performance. C’mon Gilang, you have to run faster because you've far behind enough of the other contestants. Right now, I quite believing you that you can stay longer in this competition.

My superstar for top 10 performances is between Diana, Dea, Igo, Ray and Tesa. This is a tough one. Fuh!! And my decision goes to……… I pick this girl because she make a huge progression this week and make me surprise and also stunning with her performance…. She is

Tesa

Strong performance and deserve through to the next round…..
1. Tesa
2. Dea (Very close with Tesa because she can bounce back to in this week)
3. Ray (How he can change the arrangement to be like that is awesome, shade of matador, that’s great and deserve landed in top three)

4. Igo
5. Diana
6. Citra

Good performance and still alright for compete in another round
7. Keyko
8. Gilang
9. Fendi
10. Rio

Definitely this contestant must leave the competition, desperate with his performance……
11. Windra

Bottom three: Windra, Rio, & Fendi

The bad performance of the night is: Windra, so Windra deserve eliminated from the show.

Overall I liked this week. Many performance I liked!!! one of the best week in Indonesian Idol season 6.

The result is announced. It’s shocking result!!!!!!! Dea must leave the competition whereas she is the one who has a big chance to win this whole competition, Dea journey like Dela in season five or Sisi in season three. Very unfortunate that Dea must leave the competition and we can’t see Dea again in Indonesian Idol season 6 stage. Goodbye Dea!!.....
