The Voice: Season 3 Finale
Last night the final 3 contestants on NBC’s hit reality competition ‘The Voice‘ had one last chance to win over America’s vote. Ultimately it was a one-horse race as season frontrunner Cassadee Pope separated herself from the other two with her epic performances of Faith Hill‘s “Cry” and a rerun of her season breakout “Over You” – a track that coach Blake Shelton penned with his wife Miranda Lambert. Shortly after the former Hey Monday frontlady performed the Lambert hit on the show, radio stations across the nation picked up her version as a single.

First Listen: Christina Aguilera’s New Album "Lotus"
Christina Aguilera has been sharing her gifted voice with the world since she landed a role on Disney’s ‘Mickey Mouse Club’ alongside fellow Mouseketeer’s Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Matt Morris and Ryan Gosling. After shedding her mouse ears Aguilera reinvented herself with each new album and era of her -now long- career. And while it hasn’t always been easy for the controversial singer, she continues the fight to gain the respect that her impressive pipes deserve. No one can argue that tracks like “Beautiful” and “The Voice Within” will likely earn her a spot among the greats, but her attempts at further reinvention haven’t always proved successful. Her last two albums Back to Basics and Bionic, a role…
