As my sources informs on Friday the contestents will be singing songs with last years Voice of India contestents. Rithisha will be singing Dum Dara Dum Dara from the movie Guru with Irfan. She does well but the song has very less female part in it.The Judges say the sound system was bad so could not hear the song.
On Saturday each contestant will sing two songs and the first song Rithisha sang was from the movie Henna and the second song she sang was Raat Baaki Baat Baaki from the movie Namak Halal.
Now the important thing Rithisha fans this is the crucial week for Rithisha in this show and the Judges have crossed their limits in harassing her this week. She sang the song well but as his happening every week this time Ismail Durbar said ?Tumne Gaya bhi Nahi.? And the scripted studio audience poll gave her 31 percent votes.The second performance was said to be good.
This is getting to my nerves and is too much humiliation of Rithisha.
So this week all Rithisha fans will have to go all out in supporting her if they want her to move forward in the contest and defeat the ill intentions of Mr.Ismail Durbar and other Judges and Mr.Gajendara Singh too.
Rithisha is a sweet and innocent girl but the way Ismail Durbar is humiliating and harassing her I feel she should walk out of the show and let Ismail Durbar's favourite Roshni that is Saptaparna win.
For Ismail Durbar I will like to say that the world is watching you and the viewers are not deaf and dumb and understands your ill intentions.
Best of Luck to Rithisha and Rithisha fans.

Sunil Ji,
With all due respect, I think you're taking things a little too far with these weekly posts about harassment towards Rithisha. I don't generally post on IF, as I always seem to end up getting bashed because my views go against the grain of what everybody else thinks, and so I've been a silent reader to the general view that Rithisha is being treated unfairly. Now, though, I've finally decided to say that I really do not think that this is the case. This may be a reality show - that too a GS reality show, full of (arguably) scripted drama in order to increase TRPs - but the judges are renowned in the field of Bollywood music in their own right, and would never deliberately bash a good contestant because of their preference for another. Judges are human and make mistakes just like the rest of us. but if Rithisha is getting bad/OK comments every week for what most people here seem to deem as excellent/great singing on her part, it cannot be due to consistently unfair judgement or some strategy on behalf of GS. Why would GS want a contestant whose singing so many people clearly love out of the show? Why would he want to anger so many of his viewers and turn them off his program by making the judges give Rithisha bad comments every week? It clearly doesn't make any sense. Logically, there must be something in her singing which needs improvement, and if she improves it, it will shield her from all censure.
In my opinion, every contestant in this show has some serious singing flaws which none of them have managed to fully conquer up until now. Taking the example of the top 5: Saptaparna has breath control issues, Ravi tends to slip every now and then into his old "chick" voice and sometimes takes some rather annoying styles, Vipul just doesn't lift his songs or give them the X-factor they require, and Rohit's surs are awful. Rithisha, classically-trained and experienced though she may be, also has a flaw which she has been unable to rectify, probably partly due to the fact that the judges, despite saying this that (vaguely) make sense, fail to hit the nail on the head about what exactly is "missing" in her singing. Her surs are generally correct, and she has taken some wonderful turnings in many songs, but the reason, according to me, for her less-than-great marks, is the lack of feel in her singing. She doesn't lose herself in the songs she sings - she sings them like she is a spectator or a bystander to the emotions they convey. And this is the reason why Ismail Darbar keeps on telling her, "Tum ne sirf gaaya" and the like. I don't blame Rithisha for her lack of improvement in this area; the judges are partly to blame for not being clear about what they want in her singing. The poor girl, having been singing for so many years, must be terribly confused and hurt by their attitude towards her, and my heart goes out to her for that. I wish the judges, or the vocal coaches, or whoever helps train the contestants, would put her out of her bewilderment and misery by explaining to her the great need for her to emote her songs effectively in order to truly connect to the hearts of the audience and the judges. If she just did that, I would have no complaints whatsoever about her singing, and might even start rooting for her to win the show along with most other people here.
I do not pretend to be any kind of expert about music with these comments. I am merely expressing an opinion shared by both me and my parents. My dad did some years of classical training in his youth, and was insisting for several weeks after the show started that Rithisha was the clear winner (my mum and I were at the time rooting for Vipul; now we're pretty neutral). However, as the show progressed, my dad began expressing disillusionment about Rithisha's singing, remarking that, "She's OK... but there's something missing." My mum and I agreed with this. Surely all three of us cannot be mad to be feeling this way. And it's clear that our opinion of Rithisha's singing is shared by the judges. Therefore I believe that it isn't right, just because you disagree with the judges' remarks, to accuse the judges and the makers of the show of "harassment". Instead of bashing the judges, I wish the members here would make comments encouraging Rithisha to practice hard and go from strength to strength, so that even if there were still people who disliked her as a singer (no singer - not even Sonu! - is liked by EVERYBODY, after all), nobody in the world could validly accuse her of bad or mediocre singing. I would love to hear Rithisha genuinely sing so well that Ismail Darbar is forced to tell her, "Tum chhaa gaye ho". I have faith that she has this level of talent in her, and it would be a triumph for her to win the judges' support week after week purely through excellent singing.
I am sorry if I have hurt you, Sunil Ji, or hurt any other forum members who are reading this, with my comments. I just felt compelled to express my opinion, and hope that you will give it due respect.
