So, we all agree on the top 3. What about the plus 2 to make the top 5 finalists?

Piyush, Utkarsh , Ananya for sure. I am adding Shubhdeep too.
The 5 th could be Menuka - though I don’t find her versatile, she will mostly make it through votes.
Vaibhav is showing good growth - I enjoy his performances, but don’t think he will reach the top 5.

Agreed as well, although I was confident that the first four (Ananya, Piyush, Utkarsh, and Subhadeep) were almost certainly locks as finalists prior to the lyric forgetting drama this week. It seemed like Subhadeep could hardly put a foot wrong in his performances until now and he was my favorite to win besides Ananya with his versatility ... very close between the three boys for me. It seems like Muskan has been a bit underrated and had another solid performance this week -- to me, the remaining finalists (for 6) will be 2 out of the 3 of her, Menuka, and Dipan.

For me the drama with Subhadeep's forgetting the lyrics(whether real or not) doesn't really take away anything from his singing capabilities. I have always found him a complete singer with amazing control and range in his singing. He and Ananya are my choice of frontrunners, followed by Utkarsh.

Piyush, Dipan and Muskaan are 4, 5 and 6th... I am a bit disappointed in Muskaan though... As @ksr28 mentioned I too had felt she was underrated but her rendition of tu chanda mein chandni made me think otherwise. Although it is indeed a very difficult song...which again made me think why the showrunners gave her this song in the first place... is she the next on the chopping block?

I thought the same - may be she is on her way out. She was given less time, looked a bit subdued too. But if she goes while Adya continues, then it is so unfair. She is better than Anjana too, though they have different genres.

Adya won’t be going anytime soon judges have been favoring her you can say they save her twice already and even if they won’t the vote will save her.

I agree! However, though I am not a fan of Anjana's singing style i am often awestruck at her singing prowess...the way she steers (sorry I really couldn't think of a better word) her vocals is amazing!

As for Adya I feel the same as you...unique voice texture... raw singing. Still, she is very popular and as @reborn-re points out..she might not be going anytime soon!

The next elimination would be a revelation..

Those who slides Utkarsh & think Subhodeep is more versatile 😳 I respect their opinion but respectfully disagree 😊. Though Piyush , Utkarsh & Anjana has shown versatility. Utkarsh is very well classically trainer singer. You should check out some of his performances on YouTube colors marathi “Sur nava dhyas nava” if interested. I feel Piyush & Utkarsh are the dark horses. DO NOT underestimate either one of them. In female Anjana has proven her versatility & superb talent.

Don’t get me wrong Shubhodeep, Dipan, Obom, Vaibhav, MENUKA & Muskan all are very good singers. But not better than Piyush or Utkarsh 👍👏👏IMHO.

Only one contestant can win. PEACE

I don't think Anjana will be eliminated soon. She was the winner of II Junior, and some of the current judges were judges at that time. Eliminating her so early would reflect on them. So my guess is that just for that reason alone she will make it to the final.
