"Even though this moment was brought to us by the occasionally-sketchy Blake Shelton, it&amp;#x27;s worth rejoicing over--a woman has cracked the Voice competition. Cassadee Pope, whose vocals just shimmer, was crowned the show&amp;#x27;s season-three winner last night. I may be biased--and unnecessarily influenced by her modern-Cinderella gown last night--but I think she&amp;#x27;s the strongest persona out of the show yet. Get me the new album and book her on Nashville ASAP. I mean it. We&amp;#x27;ll wait. Chop chop, universe. While you work on that--let&amp;#x27;s go over a few things to know about Miss Cassadee. You can listen to her &amp;quot;old stuff&amp;quot; now. Cassadee fronted the band Hey Monday for the last several years--so there&amp;#x27;s plenty of vintage to give you your fix while she&amp;#x27;s in the studio. She knocked Psy out of the #1 iTunes spot with her performance of &amp;quot;Over You.&amp;quot; Three cheers for giant-slaying! Also, I HATE &amp;quot;Gangnam Style,&amp;quot; so I am personally grateful. She&amp;#x27;s sung with everyone: Fall Out Boy, Cobra Starship, All-Time Low... the list goes on and on. And speaking of All-Time Low: she&amp;#x27;s dating their drummer, Rian Dawson. That&amp;#x27;s him on the far left, with Cassadee&amp;#x27;s Voice mentor Blake Shelton and her mom and sister. And he was all about the rah-rah tweets throughout the competition. Cute. She&amp;#x27;s going to bring back the hey dey of early 2000s punk pop. This isn&amp;#x27;t a fact, I&amp;#x27;m just kind of deciding it myself. But don&amp;#x27;t tell me you watched her sing with her heroine Avril Lavigne last night and didn&amp;#x27;t wish for that time back. Just met my idol. AND sang with her. What a sweetheart. We&amp;#x27;re a little sleepy here :) thanks @avrillavigne!!twitpic.com/bn4zuh&amp;amp;mdash; Cassadee Pope (@CassadeePope) December 18, 2012 Were you rooting for Cassadee?
