If I'm wrong, I deserve to be corrected - Aisha Retno on judging role

Singer Aisha Retno is ready to face criticism for her participation as a judge on the "Big Stage x Rocketfuel" program, acknowledging that some may perceive her as too inexperienced. Retno, however, believes that her contribution should be measured by the insights she can offer to contestants, rather than solely by her experience.

“

I accept (criticism) openly, but I will turn the audience's response into something positive. I am here to help find new talent. If I am wrong, I deserve to be corrected. The most important thing is that we learn together. And what's important is the goal of finding the next generation of singers.

The most important thing is that we learn together. And what's important is the goal of finding the next generation of singers."

She will be judging alongside established artists Hael Husaini and Akim Ahmad. While Retno admits to feeling nervous about taking on the role, previously held by prominent figures like Datuk Seri Siti Nurhaliza and Datuk Syafinaz, she views the position as an opportunity for shared growth. "Honestly, I am nervous, and I thought long and hard about accepting Astro's offer to be a judge for Big Stage," she said. "Especially with my busy schedule this year and my health."

Despite her initial apprehension, Retno is committed to contributing to the show's objective of identifying emerging talent. She believes the process is a cycle where both judges and participants share knowledge. "It's a cycle. Judges and participants share knowledge, and of course, it will be my time to share what I've learned over many years in the art world," she added. The program features 10 contestants vying for a RM200,000 prize.
