What’s Wrong With Being an Instant Idol…???
We’ve seen so much reality talent shows recently, especially in Indonesia. Just name it; Indonesian Idol, AFI, API, KDI, Kondang-In, Indonesian Model, etc. Actually…what’s the point of being their participants? Hoping to be a newly born entertainer? Looking for a good luck? A fame? Or just…..an instant unpredictable huge income????? Wow…No wonder there would be so much participants during each season.
It’s a common belief in Indonesia, that people who have access to entertainment world would have all their needs in their big pockets. It’s good as long as it’s fair. But have you ever imagined how those newly born idols’ feelings??? Cultural shock? In a rush coming fame? Self motivated crisis?
Well…now let’s take a look at Joy Tobing, the first Indonesian Idol. Right after she got a new triumph by winning the competition, she got everything. Famous, rich, so many job and recording, an unpredictable contract digit, etc. But what she did after that, she found out that those contracts had abandoned her freedom in choosing her own path. She decided to break the contract, finally.
Actually…what’s she looking for??? She got everything but she threw it all away. Was there something wrong…??? It might be yes. Just like what I’ve told you, she also met that shocks. Cultural shock, restricted "areas", sudden rush fame, etc.
So…have you been well prepared to face those shocks??? If you have, then just go. Bet your luck. But for me, process is more alike than everything that pops in an instant, hihihihihihi………….
