with the American Idol finalists in the Singapore Indoor
Stadium. According to the organizers, time was very limited
and only Joy, the winner of Indo Idol, had the honor to
sing one song at the American Idol concert. “Maybe
they don’t wanna be outshone by Indonesian Idol
finalists.” said Yogi Hartarto, the executive producer
of Indo Idol. He has good reason to say that since he
represents RCTI, the station that airs the show not just
in Indonesia but as far as Singapore. And so it was proven.
Monday night Oct 4, the Indo idols got a gig in Zouk and
it was a full house; the idols received super pop star
treatment from their fans. Following a series of road
shows in 4 big cities in Indonesia, the idols will end
their tour with a huge concert in Balai Sarbini, Jakarta
which will also feature Naif.
