When adding thoughts about the song for which Thivanka lost, Rukantha Gunatilleka has offered the following criticism saying, "What was in your head was about Amila getting his marks. You shivered when delivering the song ... had no desire to sing properly".

On the occasion of this contest a large number of supporters of Thivanka from Divulapitiya had been present which was shown on the screen during the programme and this crowd who were gripped with this defeat expressed their anger after the programme when the show was over. When Mr. Rukantha Gunatilleka has walked towards his vehicle, the group of supporters had expressed protesting that it was Rukantha's judgement that affected Thivanka's expulsion and because of an argument that erupted there and the crowd of about 200 who had gathered at that spot had expressed their protest by 'booing' at Rukantha and had gone to the extent of assaulting him. 

It was after that Rukantha has lodged a complaint with Mattegoda Police to the effect that he and his vehicle were attacked.
