Controversy

Joy ceased all ties with Fremantle Media & the Indonesian Idol franchise within weeks of her win due to contractual disagreements between Joy & the show's managment Indomugi Pratama. This included a 72 month (6 year) contract with Sony BMG Indonesia & several appearance commitments including singing at local malls. Joy found this offensive to the Idol title. All traces of her Idol journey were removed from the official site.
