think it is the best reality show and it has fascinated
many fans around the nation.
Bima : I think so. No one can deny that Indonesian Idol is the one of the many
talent search show. I believe it becomes one of the most popular shows in the history of
Indonesian television. What’s your view?
Sadewa : I suppose this reality show has not fully succeeded in reaching its main
goal. If you take an objective look at a number of the winners, you’ll see that some of them
are not yet able to survive in the Indonesian music industry.
Bima : I know what you mean. Some of them are not able to fill the most basic
requirement which is to sing properly. Well, what do you think about it?
Sadewa : Are they?
Bima : Actually I don’t know much about music industry so I’d rather not to say
