StarWorld and Indovision hosted Idol Night as part of a loyalty
program for their Indonesian subscribers and to bring StarWorld's
SMS-interactive Asia Votes program directly to the capital. About
100 cable TV subscribers and winners of an Idol Night quiz run in
select Indonesian newspapers, including The Jakarta Post,
attended the event on April 20, which was also open to the dining
public. The evening included an Idol-esque singing competition --
complete with a pre-event screening for the five finalists.
Jurors Iris Fung of Star Group, Yoris Sebastian of Hard Rock
Cafe, Rondang Silalahi and Posma Tobing of Indovision, along with
former Indonesian Idol Lucky Octavian, voted Tajudding Ismail the
Idol Night winner with his be-bopping rendition of La Bamba --
and he took home the grand prize, an iPod Shuffle. Lucky,
however, proved what it takes to reign an Idol with his resonant
performance of I Write the Song and his favorite, Copacabana.
Hard Rock Cafe Jakarta provided the venue, "because it's all
about music", said Fung.
