The Voice closed out its third season on December 18 by granting one of its final three contestants a deal with Universal Records, bragging rights for their celebrity coach, and $100,000 in their pocket.

Most importantly, as Carson Daly reminded us, they get to be named The Voice!

So who was crowned the NBC reality hit's third winner? Nicholas David from Team Cee Lo Green or one of Blake Shelton's contestants, Cassadee Pope and Terry McDermott? Your champion is ...

Cassadee Pope, the pop rocker who used to front the band Hey Monday! It's the second win in a row for Blake, whose other top-three contestant, Terry, came in second. Nick finished in third place.

Though they all couldn't win, the top three got to perform with some huge names in the industry.

Nicholas, the competition's resident soul man, got to share the stage with Smokey Robinson on "Cruising." The Killers' stopped by to perform with their new single "Here With Me" with Cassadee.

She later performed with Avril Lavigne as well, and joined recently engaged Kelly Clarkson and team member Terry for a rendition of "Catch My Breath." Not a bad night for any of the above.

Do you agree with the results, though? Did Cassadee Pope deserve to win The Voice?
