Inul Daratista, the Indonesian Eminem

Inul Daratista, the Indonesian Eminem

March 17, 2003

Inul Daratisat - Indonesian Star has never sold a CD. Like her spiritual kin Eminem, Inul Daratista is whatever you say she is.

"... she regularly packs concerts and performs on national television. She hasn't released a single recording, but one critic estimates that some 3 million pirated VCDs of her performances have been sold in Indonesia."

(http://www.time.com/time/asia/magazine/article/0,13673,501030324-433338,00.html)

Muslim clerics denounce her bump-and-grind dancing, attempt to ban her concerts, even pray for rain to keep impressionable fans away from her shows, yet politicians are lining up to recruit her support for the 2004 elections. She's become the live wire connecting Indonesia's still nascent freedom of expression with the country's entrenched—and often hypocritical—moral majority, yet her popularity just keeps surging. "She's the one and only one who can survive [in the country's cutthroat music scene]," says maverick TV and music producer Arswendo Atmowiloto. "She's what the people want."

The amazing thing is, our music industry is more repressive than Muslim Indonesia. A star like this could never happen in the US - the Music Industry would fight much more effectively than the Muslim clerics to prevent it.

That's a thought: Record execs are worse than religious zealots.

Actually, i dont like her style to perfomance. But i think she have unfair treaten by Islamic Organization and the people of muslim society. Many Indonesian singers more sexy and more skin to show than Inul but why they never protest to them, example Krisdayanti or Andien.....they are just quiet......why???????? I'm an Indonesian muslim.

Tidak ada seseorangpun yang bisa menahan popularitas inul. Kalau ada komentar bahwa inul mempertontonkan auratnya, ......... Hanya 5% Artis Indonesia yang berjilbab. Posted by: Awank, on March 31, 2003 10:00 PM

daripada ngurussi goyangan inul,lebih baik urusi bangsa ini.Sama seperti para kyai sebagian mengharamkan nyanyi,tetapi pada saat itu dimasjid ada orang lagi membaca shalawatan,dan kontan saja kyai itupun kakinya bergoyang.Jadi bagaimana Pak Kyai. Posted by: defan, on April 2, 2003 06:49 AM

Seorang artist yang bener bener sensasional. Saya suka Inul karena enggak so cakepp meski udah terkenal. Orangnya polos gak so selebritis meski udah terkenal. Terus maju Inul .... Jangan lihat orang yang mengkritik kamu tapi lihatlah orang yang simpati ama kamu. Maju terus Inul. Ngeborrrr terusssss ..... :) Posted by: iyus, on April 23, 2003 11:18 AM

Inul....air matamu gue masih ada tissu untuk kamu.... Posted by: lanang, on April 29, 2003 08:03 AM

I think she's a great performer having seen a documentary on cnn about her. Indonesians should learn to love and encourage home grown talent and loose that hypocritical and judgemental attitude. One thing is for sure... She's got a wonderful backside. Keep shaking that booty babe... Posted by: bobby, on June 1, 2003 11:13 AM

I think inul is very creative and a good singer, she can be considered as the queen of dangdut. Posted by: Denny, on June 8, 2003 11:47 AM

inul saya mau Boking kamu.bayaran kamu semalam buat temanin saya tidur berapa ?tp kamu harus puasin saya dengan goyangan kamu itu ya,ayo goyang terus inul,goyang sampai keluar punyaku ya. Posted by: utami, http://inul on June 8, 2003 02:23 PM

I had the honor of dancing with Ms. Daratista while she performed on stage in Jayapura, Papua, Indonesia. Although my contact with her was brief she appeared to be a very nice lady. Religious beliefs aside. Indonesia is well represented by a woman who performed for her fans and extended herself to the many children who were in the audience. I know my opinion may be suspect because I am a "bouleh". With the proper promotion and representation Ms. Daratista would be better appreciated in the United States. Dangdut is not well known here, but the music is not as important as the character that is exhibited by the performer. Ms. Daratista is a class act that I rate very high. Posted by: Michael R.
