Okay so first let me start off by saying that I love Cassadee Pope and I love Hey Monday. I believe that i've even done a review of one of their cds on here. So with that being said i'm going to go into my issue.
I do not for one second believe that Cassadee should have won The Voice. It's not fair and she took someone else's shot. I'm not just mad that she won either, i'm mad that she was even on the show.
When Cassadee first auditioned she had a video message from Pete Wentz wishing her luck. Now to me that's a problem. If you have someone as famous as Pete Wentz wishing you luck (and you have that connection to him) then you shouldn't be auditioning for a singing competition.
Secondly she was/is dating one of the dudes from All Time Low. All Time freaking Low! Okay almost everybody knows who that is and they love them. They are widely popular. Why is the girlfriend of one of them auditioning for a singing competition?
My next issue is that she's already received wide success with her band Hey Monday. Now I know that they did break up but so have a lot of bands. Just because a band breaks up doesn't mean that they don't get back together.
I know that they said it was fair for her to be on the show because she was auditioning as a solo artist, not as a band. But to be quite honest I don't give a shit. She still has been signed. She still is well known. She has a buhhhhzillion twitter followers. A crap ton of hits on her videos on youtube. So I don't care how much you tell me that she had a right to be on the show I will always disagree.
I mentioned to my friend (who loves Cassadee) that while it's fun to see someone you love on a show like that it's not fair. I ADORE Hayley Williams. There was a moment when Paramore was having some serious issues and she could have gone solo. If she would have come on the Voice I would have been like OMG Hayley! I would've loved to see her perform week after week, yes. But because she is already so established it wouldn't be right. She'd be taking the place of someone who deserved it. Someone who didn't have the same connections as her.
All in all I think Cassadee is great and she did put on a good show. But at the end of the day i'm still pissed that she won. And if some of the other people on that show don't make it any further in their career because they didn't win that title I hope she thinks about that.
