 To Whom it may concern,

“Indonesian Idol” is an annual Indonesian televised singing competition that has been airing on RCTI. Part o the Idol franchise, it originated from the British reality program “Pop Idol”. “Indonesian Idol” is a combination of a reality show and a talent search show. Unfortunately, instead of giving the opportunity to anyone who has talent and capability to be promoted as an idol. I find some weaknesses in this program.

Sometimes, the winner is not guaranteed to have the quality of a good singer because the winner is merely determined by pubic voting by phone and SMS. Most of these voters do not consider the jury’s comments on the contestant’s performance because they would prefer focusing on the contestant’s physical appearance and personality rather than his/her singing quality.

As a consequence, after the competition is over, only a few of the winners get the chance to be professional singers. Why is it so? Because they don’t have great skills to be professional singers. Furthermore, most of them only have little experience in the show business, while being professional singers need a long process and time.

My suggestion is that “Indonesian Idol” should not determine the winner based on the contestant’s popularity. The singing quality of each contestant should be the first priority.

Yours truly,
