It’s down to four contestants on the third season of NBC’s “The Voice.” And Wellington-raised vocalist Cassadee Pope is getting serious buzz as the probable front-runner.
She’s got two songs, her covers of Miranda Lambert’s “Over You” and Michelle Branch’s “Are You Happy Now?” currently in the Top 15 on iTunes. And “Over You” hit number one, knocking off PSY’s hype-heavy “Gangnam Style.”
Pope, the protégé of Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz, has come close to national fame before when her local band Hey Monday scored a national recording contract, but it didn’t make it. On “The Voice,” she has had an emotional ride, from her initial blind audition that turned the chairs of all four judges, to her sweet on-air chemistry with mentor Blake Shelton, who she refers to as her “crazy uncle.” She’s also been open about her estrangement from her father, who she’d hoped to reconnect with through the show.
Pope, who appeared at last Thursday’s Clematis By Night celebration, is Palm Beach County’s only remaining contestant, and hasn’t been available for interviews until the show ends. “The Voice” airs Monday at 8 p.m. on NBC.
