I'm quite surprised we don't have an appreciation thread for rakesh!
In my opinion I feel he is one of the 4 best singers on idol along with shashi, shivam and sreeram
just like them, he has been very consistent and really is a fantastic singer
if I had to be really honest, though shivam is my absolute favorite, today when the 4 of them sang together, I really felt rakesh outshined them all with his throw in the song, it was very impressive
