“Ultimately, Pallavi triumphed with her charisma, vocal finesse and distinct musical style. Throughout the competition, Pallavi showcased exceptional growth and dedication, delivering spellbinding performances across diverse musical genres, which culminated in the win,” said Mediacorp in a statement.
