Rossa's outstanding academic performance continued through junior high and high school, and she later entered the University of Indonesia through talent scouting or achievement-based admission.{{cite web|title=Berawal Dari Hobi, Kini Rossa Menjadi Penyanyi Terkenal – Daniel Tetangga Kamu|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlXr1ng-3RQ|website=Daniel Mananta Network|access-date=4 February 2022|archive-date=4 February 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220204024345/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlXr1ng-3RQ&feature=youtu.be|url-status=live}}{{cite web|title=Ampun!!!

Art Stage Director Jay Subiyakto, said Rossa was a Diva who didn't need any gimmicks in her appearance at the press conference of The Journey of 21 Dazzling Years.{{Cquote|"When I see… when I hear the collection of songs, there are indeed a lot of hits.

{{Cquote|"Previously, I have handled concerts in Jakarta for big artists or singers, almost all of Rossa's hits from 3 CDs. To choose a song is not too difficult because all of them are hits."}}
Aside from being a pop singer, Rossa is also able to sing traditional songs, dangdut, hip-hop, EDM & r&b. Rossa has also recorded songs in other language such as Malay, English, and Korean.

{{Cquote|"Teh Ocha is someone who I think is, yes, the character of her voice, and her vocal technique is very, very good in my personal opinion because she has an engaging style, her hignote vocal practice is shrill but looks super relaxed.

Rossa became the first Indonesian singer to popularize the concept of a "virtual duet with a deceased artist." In 2011, she released a modern rendition of "Jangan Ada Dusta Diantara Kita" featuring the late Broery Marantika. Her groundbreaking effort was followed by other artists, including: Adlani Rambe – "Tinggalah Ku Sendiri" (feat. the late Nike Ardilla) in 2020, Inka Christie – "Cinta Kita" (feat. the late Nike Ardilla) in 2021, Zeroid Park – "Sandiwara Cinta" (feat. the late Nike Ardilla) in 2021, Melly Goeslaw – "Bertemu Kembali" (feat. the late Nike Ardilla) in 2023. These remakes not only continued Rossa's legacy but also sparked a trend in Indonesian music, allowing deceased icons to continue influencing new generations of listeners.{{cite web|url=https://hot.detik.com/music/d-1762266/rossa-hidupkan-lagu-broery-marantika-lagi|title=Rossa Hidupkan Lagu Broery Marantika Lagi|trans-title=Rossa revives the song Broery Marantika again.|website=Detik.com|language=id|first=Detik|last=Hot|date=7 November 2011|access-date=7 November 2011|archive-date=3 February 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220203092415/https://hot.detik.com/music/d-1762266/rossa-hidupkan-lagu-broery-marantika-lagi|url-status=live}}
In 2020, Rossa released a single titled "The Heart You Hurt / Sangcheo Badeun Maeum (Hati Yang Kau Sakiti - Korean Version)." The song, a translation of her Indonesian hit "Hati Yang Kau Sakiti," was reimagined in Korean by Rossa herself.{{cite web|url=https://www.insertlive.com/hot-gossip/20200611190516-9-145836/hati-yang-kau-sakiti-versi-korea-viral-rossa-padahal-iseng|title='Hati yang Kau Sakiti' Versi Korea Viral, Rossa: Padahal Iseng|trans-title='The Heart You Hurt' Korean Version Viral, Rossa: Even though it's a kidding|website=Insert Trans TV|language=id|first=Insert|last=Live|date=11 June 2020|access-date=11 June 2020|archive-date=2 February 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220202160426/https://www.insertlive.com/hot-gossip/20200611190516-9-145836/hati-yang-kau-sakiti-versi-korea-viral-rossa-padahal-iseng|url-status=live}} Although the release of "The Heart You Hurt" was accidental, it sparked a trend among Indonesian and Malaysian artists to translate their songs into Korean. Following Rossa's lead, several artists released their own Korean versions in 2021, including: Tiara Andini feat. Arsy Widianto – "Bahaya (Korean Version)", Aina Abdul – "Sepi (Korean Version)", Suara Kayu – "Miniatur (Korean Version)", Bertrand Peto Putra Onsu – "Deritaku (Korean Version)", Armada – "Aku Dimatamu (Korean Version)", Anneth Delliecia – "Mungkin Hari Ini Esok Atau Nanti (Korean Version)", and Ghea Indrawari feat. Boy William – "Bucketlist (Korean Version)". This trend of translating songs into Korean has since become a popular phenomenon in the Indonesian and Malaysian music scenes, with Rossa’s pioneering effort at the forefront.{{cite web|title=Bahaya (Korean Version)|url=https://music.apple.com/us/album/bahaya-korean-version/1556791339?i=1556792011|website=Apple Music|date=12 March 2021|access-date=4 February 2022|archive-date=3 February 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220203125409/https://music.apple.com/us/album/bahaya-korean-version/1556791339?i=1556792011|url-status=live}}{{cite web|title=Sepi (Korean Version)|url=https://music.apple.com/us/album/%EC%84%B8%ED%94%BC-sepi-korean-version/1561600764?i=1561600773|website=Apple Music|date=10 April 2021|access-date=4 February 2022|archive-date=2 February 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220202203631/https://music.apple.com/us/album/%EC%84%B8%ED%94%BC-sepi-korean-version/1561600764?i=1561600773|url-status=live}}{{cite web|title=Miniatur (Korean Version)|url=https://music.apple.com/us/album/miniatur-korean-version-single/1586704444=id|website=Apple Music|access-date=4 February 2022|archive-date=2 February 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220202161939/https://music.apple.com/us/album/miniatur-korean-version-single/1586704444=id|url-status=live}}{{cite web|title=Aku Dimatamu (Korean Version)|url=https://music.apple.com/us/album/aku-di-matamu-single/1555680665|website=Apple Music|date=26 February 2021|access-date=4 February 2022|archive-date=2 February 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220202202057/https://music.apple.com/us/album/aku-di-matamu-single/1555680665|url-status=live}}{{cite web|title=Deritaku (Korean Version)|date=18 May 2021|url=https://www.deezer.com/pl/album/229425012=website=Deezer|access-date=4 February 2022|archive-date=3 February 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220203065651/https://www.deezer.com/pl/album/229425012=website=Deezer|url-status=live}}{{cite web|title=Mungkin Hari Ini Esok Atau Nanti (Korean Version)|url=https://music.apple.com/us/album/%EC%95%84%EB%A7%88%EB%8F%84-%EC%98%A4%EB%8A%98-%EB%82%B4%EC%9D%BC-%ED%98%B9%EC%9D%80-%EB%A8%BC%ED%9B%97%EB%82%A0-mungkin-hari-ini-esok-atau-nanti/1561108112?i=1561108363|website=Apple Music|date=4 April 2021|access-date=4 February 2022|archive-date=2 February 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220202203615/https://music.apple.com/us/album/%EC%95%84%EB%A7%88%EB%8F%84-%EC%98%A4%EB%8A%98-%EB%82%B4%EC%9D%BC-%ED%98%B9%EC%9D%80-%EB%A8%BC%ED%9B%97%EB%82%A0-mungkin-hari-ini-esok-atau-nanti/1561108112?i=1561108363|url-status=live}}{{cite web|url=https://www.liontivi.com/berawal-dari-iseng-lagu-hati-yang-kau-sakiti-versi-korea-dari-rossa-viral/|title=Berawal dari Iseng, Lagu Hati yang Kau Sakiti versi Korea dari Rossa Viral|trans-title=The Korean version of the Heart Song You Hurt from Rossa Viral starts from a kidding|website=liontivi|language=id|first=Liontivi|last=Media|date=16 August 2020|access-date=16 August 2020|archive-date=16 November 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201116150235/http://www.liontivi.com/berawal-dari-iseng-lagu-hati-yang-kau-sakiti-versi-korea-dari-rossa-viral/|url-status=live}}

Concerts
Rossa, a celebrated Indonesian singer, is known for holding solo concerts not only in her home country but also in neighboring countries such as Malaysia, Singapore, and Brunei Darussalam. In 2010, she made history in Malaysia as the first Indonesian artist to successfully hold a solo concert at Bukit Jalil Stadium, with an audience of over 12,000 spectators. The event was attended by high-ranking state officials, including Datin Sri Rosmah Mansor (Malaysia), Mrs. Linda Gumelar (Indonesian Minister for Women Empowerment), and Mr. Agum Gumelar (Indonesia).
Her "Malam Keajaiban Cinta Dato Rossa" concert at the Istana Budaya in Malaysia in 2015 further solidified her prestige as a DIVA, not just in Indonesia but in Malaysia as well. The concert set a record for being the most expensive concert ticket for an Indonesian artist in Malaysia, with ticket prices reaching RM 518 for the public and RM 1500 for the royals. Remarkably, the concert tickets sold out in less than two hours, and it was attended by numerous Malaysian Royal Highnesses.
Rossa continued to break records with her "Raja & Rakyat Berpisah Tiada" concert on 17 February 2016 at Istana Budaya, which commemorated the 85th birthday of Sultan Pahang. This concert set a new record for the most expensive tickets in Malaysian music history, priced at RM 5000, and, as usual, the tickets sold out quickly. In 2018, Rossa hosted the "Grand Fantasia With Rossa" mini-concert, with ticket prices ranging from 1.5 to 20 million Rupiah, which also sold out.{{cite web|url=https://kumparan.com/kumparanhits/rossa-gelar-konser-saat-valentine-tiket-rp-20-juta-ludes-1549586327915151282/2|title=Rossa Gelar Konser Saat Valentine, Tiket Rp 20 Juta Ludes|trans-title=Rossa Holds Concert on Valentine's Day, Tickets at a price of 20 million rupiah are sold out|website=Kumparan|language=id|first=Kumparan|last=Hits|date=8 February 2018|access-date=8 February 2018|archive-date=9 July 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230709173244/https://kumparan.com/kumparanhits/rossa-gelar-konser-saat-valentine-tiket-rp-20-juta-ludes-1549586327915151282|url-status=live}} Rossa’s continued success is evident in her "Rossa Live In Concert – Cinta Dalam Hidupku" performance on 14 February 2019, where tickets ranged from 350 thousand Rupiah to 25 million Rupiah. As with her previous concerts, the tickets sold out five days before the event.{{cite web|url=https://entertainment.kompas.com/read/2019/02/15/110028910/rossa-senang-tiket-konsernya-seharga-rp-25-juta-ludes|title=Rossa Senang Tiket Konsernya Seharga Rp 25 Juta Ludes|trans-title=Rossa is happy with her concert tickets at a price of 25 million rupiah, sold out|website=Kompas.com|language=id|first=Kompas|last=Media|date=15 February 2019|access-date=15 February 2019|archive-date=21 November 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211121101628/https://entertainment.kompas.com/read/2019/02/15/110028910/rossa-senang-tiket-konsernya-seharga-rp-25-juta-ludes|url-status=live}}
The prominent presenter of Metro TV, Alvin Adam, in his biography "The Story Book Just Alvin Part.2", referred to Rossa as the "Queen of Concerts in Indonesia", highlighting the overwhelming demand for her performances at various events. Judika, a fellow singer and talent show judge, also dubbed Rossa the "Queen of Concerts" in Indonesia.{{cite book |last=Alvin |first=Just |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=c3_pAgAAQBAJ |title=Cerita Dari Buku Just Alvin Bagian.2 |date=1 November 2013 |publisher=Gagas Media |isbn=9789797806743 |language=id |trans-title=The story book of Just Alvin 2 |access-date=1 November 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230709173246/https://books.google.com/books?id=c3_pAgAAQBAJ |archive-date=9 July 2023 |url-status=live}} Her "25 Shining Years" concert in Malaysia set a significant milestone, becoming the most expensive solo concert by an Indonesian singer in history, with ticket prices reaching RM 5,000.
Rossa then embarked on the "Another Journey: The Beginning" concert tour, taking her across three countries—Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia. In Singapore, the concert broke records once again, becoming the most-watched performance by an Indonesian solo singer, with 5,000 attendees at The Star Theatre. It also became the most expensive Indonesian singer concert in Singapore, with ticket prices reaching 288 SGD.
