UNIVERSAL CITY, CALIFORNIA: Despite Lila Forde advancing to 'The Voice' Season 24 finale, fans are puzzled by the hype surrounding the singer. It appears that she may have compromised her chances of winning by selecting the wrong song for her performance in the finale.

Lila Forde chose to perform 'The Weight' by Big Pink, a choice that left viewers feeling it wasn't the best fit for her voice. Many believed that opting for a different song would have showcased Lila's talents more effectively in the finale.

A fan took to X to claim, "I don’t get the Lila hype - and her personality is so boring to me."

Another commented on her finale performance, "Not sure about this song choice for Lila, doesn't seem like her."

"I love, love, love Lila, but this song ain't doing her any favors. It's not a good fit," wrote a fan.

A fan commented, "Sorry Lila, but that's very lackluster! You can do better! Bad song choice."

"#TheVoice This is not a good song choice on a Finale night," another disappointed fan tweeted. A fan expressed amusement, stating, "And y’all picked Lila over Nini?!? A damn shame."

Another commenter joined those criticizing Lila's performance, saying, "I can never understand the words that #lilaforde sings. And I agree with other commenters, that was not a finale song. It was rather boring."

Despite Lila Forde singing a different song than her usual repertoire as she advanced to the finals, she failed to captivate the viewers. However, it appears that Lila has left a lasting impression on Gwen Stefani.

Gwen Stefani expressed her admiration, stating that she loved Lila's "so much confidence." She was particularly impressed by how effortlessly Lila performed the song, finding it remarkable.

Gwen was enthusiastic about acknowledging that Lila possessed something beyond what was showcased on the show. This led Gwen to fervently support Lila in her quest to win the competition.

Does Lila Forde have less chance to win 'The Voice' Season 24 than other finalists?

A circulating theory on the internet suggests that John's slim chances of winning the show stem from the fact that he has only one singer on his team.

With Team Niall Horan and Team Reba McEntire each boasting two singers, they are poised to have a strong chance of securing the season's title.

Let us wait for the announcement of the final result on Tuesday night to see who will win the show.
