Changes were made to the judging team this season. While Titi DJ and Indra Lesmana returned as the judges, due to scheduling difficulties of their career, Indy Barends and Dimas Djayadiningrat had resigned from judging the fourth season of Indonesian Idol. They both were replaced by Anang Hermansyah and Jamie Aditya. Anang, who is the husband of Indonesia's most famous Pop Diva, Krisdayanti, is also known as an established musician as well as a music producer. Jamie Aditya, was a Video Jockey during MTV Asia early years. Tika Panggabean served as guest judge several times during the temporary absence of judges Titi DJ and Jamie Aditya.
Rini Wulandari was announced the winner of the competition on July 28, 2007, defeating runner-up Wilson Maiseka after nearly 2.4 million votes. The split between the two was 51.2 percent to 48.8 percent. After winning, Rini sang the song "Aku Tetap Milikmu", which was the winning song of the Idol Song Competition.
Early process
On Wednesday, January 10, 2007, FremantleMedia Asia officially launched the fourth edition of award winning Indonesian Idols. The show was initially announced at the 2006 Panasonic Awards when the Indonesian Idols judges were on hand to receive the award for the Best Music and Variety Show. The 4th season commercial also has been airing in RCTI prior to the official launch date. In the official Indonesian Idols website, it was stated that starting from Season 4, future Idols participants can register online and print the audition form rather than using the current registration process which might take up to a whole day to complete. This season saw a big jump in number of applicants. More than 90,000 people turned up for the auditions. Contestants were required to be between the ages 16–28.
Auditions
Auditions were held in the following cities:
Elimination Round
Elimination round was held from March 5–7, 2007 at Gedung Kesenian Jakarta. A total of 95 were selected from the twelve audition cities. In the first round, contestants each sang an a cappella solo performance of song of their choice, after which the judges selected who would go home and advance to the next round. The second round had the contestants performing in groups of three. Those who made it to next round performed one more solo song (minus-one). They were cut once again to twenty-four contestants.
Workshop Round
This season featured 24 contestants instead of 28. In addition, instead of one workshop round every week, the workshop round aired every day in marathon at 10PM West Indonesia Time, and there was a separate results show on the following night in the same timeslot.
The schedule was as follows:
Wild Card Round
