The Showdown: Pat Green vs. Cassadee Pope

Pat Green has pulled off a huge victory with his new single, "While I Was Away," and now moves on to face a challenge from Cassadee Pope.

Green's new single is a tear-jerking track that explores the conflicted feelings parents have about the time they have to spend away from their children in order to provide for them. The Texas artist's loyal fans came through in a major way, giving him 67 percent of the vote over the new single from David Nail.

Pope's new song is also very emotional. "I Am Invincible" sees the veteran of The Voice exploring an inspirational theme, while delivering a vocal performance that demonstrates a new side to her impressive range. Will it be enough to get her past Green, or will he make it two Showdown victories in a row?
