Performing to an audience of about 8,000 fans, the well-adored and seasoned stage performer opened the night with her beloved debut hit Tegar, followed by Malam Pertama and Wanita Yang Kau Pilih. Rossa wasted no time diving into her catalogue of emotional ballads. The crowd's excitement only grew as she was joined by the finalists of One in a Million — Kai Deva, Mary Grace, and Zazleen — who sang Takkan Berpaling Darimu with her. The momentum continued with the entrance of the four Indonesian Idol finalists — Jemima, Awdella, Syarla, and Rimar — collectively known as 'The Ladies,' who performed Kepastian and Bila Salah alongside Rossa.

A much-anticipated duet with Malaysia's Ernie Zakri followed, delivering the hit Masing-masing and Rossa's classic Aku Bukan Untukmu. The chemistry between the two vocalists was undeniable, and their powerful harmonies received roaring applause. In a touching tribute, Rossa honoured Malaysia's own pop queen, Datuk Sri Siti Nurhaliza — who was seated in the VIP section — by singing a few lines of Percayalah. To the audience's surprise and delight, Siti joined in from her seat as a microphone was passed to her, creating one of the most memorable and spontaneous moments of the evening.

Despite having just arrived from Stockholm, the seasoned frontman looked relaxed and charismatic, proving once again why he remains a fan favourite. Malaysian artists also had their moments to shine — rapper MK of K-Clique made a brief cameo, and local heartthrob Hael Husaini delivered romantic renditions of Terlalu Cinta, Takdir Cinta, and the upbeat Meriah Lain Macam. Rossa gave her fans a night to remember at her 'Here I Am' concert held at the Axiata Arena in Bukit Jalil. Photo: Inspire production Although it was billed as Rossa's solo concert, the night felt more like a celebration of music and friendship, featuring a revolving door of guest appearances. While some fans may have hoped for more solo moments from the star herself, Rossa's ability to bring together such a diverse line-up only affirmed her status as a beloved figure in the regional music scene. Graced with several beautiful outfit changes throughout the night, the stylish singer also proved why her musical presence has withstood three decades of music evolution. She wrapped the evening with crowd favourites like Ayat-Ayat Cinta, Pudar, Hey Ladies, and Sakura, as her voice consistently soared with clarity and poise. Despite the many guest performances, Rossa remained the heart of the show. Her charm, stage presence, and unmistakable vocals served as a reminder of why she continues to hold a special place in the hearts of her Malaysian fans.
