Downhill?? Says who? Simply because he is not getting hyped by the judges lately does not prove he is not performing great. He has set a pretty high standard for himself. Being good at the same genre as Mussarat and to some extent Raja also pushes that expectation - overtly or covertly, people start comparing his renditions to folks' 10/15 years older than him. And he is doing quite well in that regard. His Jiya Dhadak may not have met the expectation he set by Teri Deewani, but it wasn't like he performed bad. You may wanna argue for the sake of argument, but Aamir's Ya Rabba was simply brilliant - guess what grade he received for that - A - same grade that Vaishali got for I don't even know what to call what she did that day. His performances this week were also brilliant in my opinion. Anyway, fact is, I keep listening to his songs in youtube without even looking at the screen because it is singing that makes him stand out. For most others, I can't do that no matter how hyped they get by the judges.
