Hiatus
After the 10th anniversary of Indonesian Idol broadcasts, the show was replaced with The Voice Indonesia for the second season on RCTI, since the broadcast on Indosiar could not be extended and preferred to focus on the Dangdut contest. In the final year, FremantleMedia presented a new breakthrough singing contest, namely Just Duet, created alongside NET. However, as both events had decreased ratings, RCTI and FremantleMedia brought back Indonesian Idol for the ninth season.
