Show format

AFI is headed by a school principal. Each season at AFI is held in one prime concert, nine Elimination concerts, one E-Club concert (Elimination Club, for AFI 1 to 4, and Wildcard for AFI season 5), one concert Road To Grand Final (at AFI seasons 4 and 5), one Grand Final concert, and one Inauguration concert. In each concert, the academics will be commented on by three commentators, one permanent commentator, and two guest commentators. AFI has 12 academics in each season. They are put in a dormitory to be quarantined and taught various things related to singing, dancing, acting, English, and so on. Champions from AFI are entitled to cash, tour packages, and a luxury car unit. When the Inauguration concert was over, they went straight into the recording kitchen to make a compilation album from Indosiar's collaboration with Sony Music Indonesia.
AFI voting system is via SMS and Premium Call. Academics with the lowest votes must be eliminated every week. AFI has five designs, namely:

Programme history

In 2003, the Indonesian television world was filled with various soap opera shows and minimal talent search shows. Indosiar, creatively bought the Akademi Fantasia Malaysia broadcasting rights at Astro Ria and La Academia Mexico at TV Azteca at the end of 2003. AFI is a talent search event that popularized reality shows in Indonesia. Starting from auditions in four major cities, Medan, Jakarta, Bandung, and Surabaya, 12 academics were chosen to compete in AFI. This event is looking for a winner who is expected to succeed in the Indonesian music scene. With concerts held every week and involving the audience as a determinant of eliminated academics, this program was quite popular because it gave a new color to the talent search program that existed at that time.

AFI has many attractions that make people keep on following it, including the theme song Menuju Puncak and its choreography, moments of elimination involving audience emotions, transparent SMS polls that make viewers vying to send SMS and Premium Call, drama in academic life at the hostel AFI, and many more. The event won an award at the Panasonic Awards 2004 and was nominated in 2005 and 2006. AFI's presence made history on Indonesian television so that in 2013, NET, a new private television present in Indonesia showed the choreography Menuju Puncak during the launch event. AFI is finally always remembered as the most phenomenal event ever in Indonesia and as the most transparent event in the SMS poll. [2]

Season synopsis

Season 1 (2003–2004)

In the first season, the Indosiar and AFI judges selected candidates for their students or so-called "academics" from 4 major cities in Indonesia, including Jakarta, Bandung, Surabaya and Medan. From the 4 cities, an audition was held which was attended by thousands of participants to get 12 people who would later be selected to be educated by lecturers during approximately 90 days in Jakarta.

In early December 2003, the 12 AFI academics were introduced through two non-elimination concerts. The first Elimination Concert was held at the end of December with an SMS and premium call scoring system. After 9 weeks of holding the Elimination Concert, the first season of the Akademi Fantasi Indosiar (2003–2004) was won by Veri Affandi, Medan audition finalist who succeeded in eliminating Kia Suban and Mawar Febra on the night of the Grand Final by pocketing more than 42% of SMS from Indosiar viewers.

Veri's unexpected victory when viewed from the first season trip which favoured Mawar and Dicky at the beginning of the week, made many people judge Veri's victory was only due to popularity and stories about Veri's past that touched the hearts of viewers, especially mothers. The comments and good performances displayed by Mawar and Kia on the night of the Grand Final still did not make Veri's SMS poll able to be overtaken. Veri whose past is told is enough to reap a lot of bitter trips to make the SMS poll suddenly jump towards the 7th week, and cannot be pursued until the night of the Grand Final by other finalists, including Mawar.

Season 2 (2004)

After success in the first season, AFI then held a similar event titled Akademi Fantasi Indosiar 2, which was held only one week after the AFI 1 ended. What distinguishes AFI 2 from AFI 1 is the aspect of choosing 12 academics that enter quarantine. After getting 18 prospective academics through 9 audition cities (Jakarta, Medan, Bandung, Semarang, Yogyakarta & Surabaya), the 12 AFI 2 academics were selected by Indosiar viewers through SMS & Call Premium polls in two Pre-Elimination concerts.

In the Pre-elimination concert 1 was selected Micky and Cindy from Jakarta, Rindu and Lia from Bandung and Pasha and Haikal from Medan. Academic candidates from Jakarta who were eliminated at the Pre-Elimination 1 concert named Purie Andriani are now better known as Purie Mahadewi. The following week, at the Pre-elimination 2 Concert Tia and Nana were selected from Semarang, Adit and Nia from Surabaya and Adi and Jovita from Yogyakarta.

After holding nine Elimination concerts, AFI 2 was won by Tia from Semarang. Tia, who every week managed to get positive comments from the judges, was also able to record some of her best performances through the song My All (Mariah Carey), Tak Ku Duga (Ruth Sahanaya), Bring Me To Live (Evanessence) and Pengabdian Cinta (Krisdayanti). On the night of the Grand Final Tia won 42% of the vote defeating Haikal and Micky. The Grand Final of AFI 2 was one of the most popular television event at the time with high rating.

Season 4 (2005)

In the fourth season, AFI no longer uses numbers behind it, but uses years. Therefore, AFI in this fourth season often we know AFI 2005. AFI 2005 is arguably the savior of AFI, because in the third season, AFI experienced a slight decrease in rating because the audience had begun to saturate. However, in AFI 2005, the saturation could be overcome and eventually the AFI rating experienced an increase. The AFI 2005 election system is slightly different from the previous season. AFI 2005 auditions were held in 11 major cities in Indonesia. To enter the AFI dormitory, they must take part in a selection concert where the concert classifies academics in the Hip and Hop groups. The support system is still using SMS and Call Premium. At the Hip Hop concert, the cities of Medan and Palembang failed to send their representatives, namely Nonie and Marissa because they were eliminated. Marissa was first eliminated in the Hip group. Whereas Nonie was eliminated when determining the top 6 Hop groups. In the end, the best 12 were selected, namely BOJES (Jakarta), TIKA & TIWI (Bandung), FIBRI (Semarang), YONGKI & ANJAR (Yogyakarta), LURI (Surabaya), DEWA (Denpasar), INDRI & ARJUNA (Makassar), RIZWAR ( Banjarmasin) and ADE (Manado). AFI 2005 is the youngest and freshest AFI compared to other AFI's.
