2. Cassadee Pope
Cassadee Pope, the trailblazing winner of The Voice Season Three, shattered barriers as the first female champion. With her captivating voice and diverse musical background as the lead vocalist of the pop-punk band Hey Monday, Pope initially caught the attention of all four judges during her blind audition, ultimately choosing Team Blake.
Since her triumphant victory, Pope has been charting her own course in the music industry, departing from country music and returning to her pop-rock roots in her solo projects, exemplified by her collaboration with Levi Hummon on the song “RSVP.”

Securing a recording deal and finding love soon after, Boyd’s journey continued with the release of his album Top Shelf in 2017.
