The 17-year-old yet again impressed 'The Voice' fans and all four coaches as she cemented her spot on Team Legend

UNIVERSAL CITY, CALIFORNIA: Parijita Bastola became an instant fan favorite, winning many hearts the minute she graced ‘The Voice’ Season 22 stage. From her mind-blowing audition to all her impeccable battle rounds performances, the Nepalese-American singer impressed fans as well as the critics of the singing competition. Most viewers continue to root for the 17-year-old singer and some even predict that the high schooler will be the one to walk away as the winner of ‘The Voice’ Season 22.

During the premiere of the knockout rounds, Parijita competed with Peyton Aldridge and Valarie Harding representing Team Legend. During rehearsals, she impressed coach John Legend with her choice of a song which he deemed well beyond her generation as she decided to sing Etta James’ ‘I’d Rather Go Blind’. Meanwhile, Peyton chose ‘Forever After All’ by Luke Combs, and Valarie settled upon ‘Weak’ by SWV as her selected song. The battle kicked off as Parijita embraced the stage, wearing traditional garb and giving one of her best vocal performances. Valarie went next with her performance, which earned her praise from the coaches, followed by Peyton’s gritty presentation. But ultimately, Parijita won the round and cemented her spot on Team Legend.
