JAKARTA - Indonesian Idol Special Season or Season 11 starts on Monday, November 16, 2020. A number of changes appeared in this event, one of which was a change of jury.

Rossa entered to fill the position of Bunga Citra Lestari or who is familiarly known as BCL. Through its social media, RCTI as a television channel broadcasting this event announced Rossa's entry.

Meanwhile BCL, while explaining the reasons for withdrawing from Indonesian Idol, congratulated the latest season of this talent search competition. "Taking time ... Building my strength ... Congratulations on giving birth to a new idol for Indonesia," said BCL in the upload.

As we all know, this year BCL's husband Ashraf Sinclair left behind because of a heart attack on February 18. BCL took a break from the entertainment world for a few months.

Recently he started to be active again with the release of the song 12 Most Beautiful Years and started performing in public. But BCL chose not to be a judge on Indonesian Idol this year.

For Rossa, this is not the first time for her to become a judge at one of the biggest singing competitions in Indonesia. In 2010, he was appointed as a guest judge with Anang, Agnes Monica, Erwin Gutawa. His first experience as a judge at that time made him progress and he was a judge in various other singing contests.

The singer of Terlanjur Cinta is also a judge in the third season of the Indonesian Idol Junior contest in 2018.

Although at that time he was 'only' appointed as guest judge, Rossa's ability to assess the participants was not in doubt. Rossa, who has a lot of experience working with various musicians, can provide constructive opinions. He also gave encouragement and support to the contestants who participated in the program.

The only mistake Rossa did we know of happened to Indonesian Idol 2013. When she commented on the performance of Isa Raja, who performed Tracy Chapman's song Give Me One Reason, she couldn't tell the difference between punk and funk music. Yes, that night, Rossa had a chance to stun Indonesian music fans.

However, the change of jury in Indonesian Idol competition is not something strange. BCL itself had only been a permanent judge for two years before being replaced by Rossa. There are no specific rules regarding the selection of Indonesian Idol judges so that any musician or singer can occupy that seat.

On the other hand, the audience's interest in Indonesian Idol also continues to increase. Videos of contestants who auditioned on Indonesian Idol got millions of views even though they were just uploaded. Therefore, either Rossa or BCL are certainly able to attract the attention of the Indonesian people.

Apart from the matter of the jury, Daniel Mananta also said goodbye as the host of Indonesian Idol and was replaced by Boy William.
