he is a good singer but compared to aishwarya's performance of another version of the same song...rahul was weak that day.it was an uncomfortable performance.there was too much of effort he had put in and that was showing n making the song sound unpleasant.he also lost sur a few times...but the judges didnt find it right to mention that for reasons best known to them.no one can deny, it is quite visible that the judges seem to favor rahul n vineet which is unfair to the others.
its the janta's job to vote for their favorites...atleast the judges shouldnt do that.the judges should be fair and give scores based on the day's performance.
