Lila Forde became a fan-favorite the moment her journey on The Voice season 24 started. Lila is one of the top 5 finalists in the season 24 finale who hopes to walk away the new champion. The 25-year-old is up against Huntley, Ruby Leigh, Mara Justine, and Jacquie Roar.
She showed her tremendous star power with her amazing (and goosebump-inducing) performances of “The Weight by The Band and “Across the Universe.” Lila will perform with John Legend during the December 19 finale event.
The singer has truly had a breakout moment on The Voice. There’s no doubt that Lila has a long career in music ahead of her. If you need to get up to speed on all things Lila, Hollywood Life has you covered.
Lila Is a Member of Team Legend
Lila stunned the coaches with her powerful performance of Blind Faith’s “Can’t Find My Way Home” during her Blind Audition. She received a 4-chair turn from the coaches. “That reminded me of everything I love about music,” Niall Horan told Lila. Gwen Stefani got up out of her seat to rave about Lila’s performance.
Ultimately, Lila chose John as her coach. Through the Battles, Knockouts, and Playoffs, Lila wowed with her beautiful and unique vocals. She performed a gorgeous rendition of Joni Mitchell’s “River” in the semi-finals.
