[1] Raisa and Indra Lesmana replace Titi and Anang during the Yogyakarta auditions.
In November 2013, the source wrote that Titi DJ signed a deal to join the panel as the third judge.
Titi is the first Indonesian Idol 2014 Archived 2014-02-21 at the Wayback Machine judge to return after being absent in Season 6 and 7.
Idol is also starting the "I Want You" program, which will let friends and family of individuals they think could be the next Indonesian Idol nominate said person in secret by filling out an online form and existing video or URL of their nominee—they must be singing solo and a capella.
The chosen auditions will then be surprised on location by a film crew and given an opportunity to advance to the next round.
27 of them advanced to the finals of the elimination round requiring a solo performance with a full band.
Due to the flight problem, Anang couldn't attend the show, so he was replaced by Bebi Romeo.
However, the bottom two vote getters, Husein Alatas and Miranti Yassovi were declared safe with another contestant and no one was eliminated.
Each finalist will sing three songs: a solo performance, duet with celebrity, and a collaboration with one of the contestants and one of the judges.
