The auditions were broadcast on April 3, 10, 17, and 24 episodes.
Bootcamp
119 acts reached the bootcamp in Jakarta, which includes three sets of challenge. On day one, each act has to perform an a cappella song for 30 second in front of the judges. Afterwards 43 acts were eliminated and the remaining 76 acts were grouped into pairs that will participate in a sing-off duel on the second day, similar to The Voice's battle round. The number of contestants were further reduced after the judges chose only 12 acts for each category, with the exception of only 7 acts for Groups category, to put through to the final challenge. In addition, the judges also gave a second chance for several contestants who were rejected as soloists to continue the competition as groups and formed 3 new groups, thus increasing the number of acts from Groups category into 10. It was also revealed that Dhani would mentor the Overages, Rossa would mentor the Groups, Afgan would mentor the Girls, and Bebi would mentor the Boys. The first two challenges of bootcamp were broadcast on May 1 episode.The final round of bootcamp follows the new format of six-chair challenge featured on the American and the British version of the show. Judges make decisions on whom to put through to judges' houses straight after each act has performed, with those getting a yes taking a seat in the final six chairs on stage. It is up to the mentor to decide, which act they want to take to judges' houses, but once all six spots are full, if the mentor wants to send another act through to the next stage it means they have to replace one of those who were previously given a yes. After the six-chair challenge, the number of remaining acts were narrowed down to 24. The six-chair challenge were broadcast on May 8 and 15 episodes.
