'The Voice' Season 4 Winner, YouTube Sensation Daniel Bradbery

The Voice Season 4 has announced its newest winner--Daniel Bradbery. Bradbery is soon to be a YouTube, and global, sensation.

Viewers voted Bradbery winner after she repeatedly belted out some of the top country and pop hits NBC was willing to pay for. But, who is the new champion, really?

Daniel Bradbery is a country girl, who calls Cyprus, Texas home. The 16-year-old chick is the youngest winner in the show's history and only the second ever woman.

She beat out both The Swon Brothers and Michelle Chamuel, who many expected to take home the grand prize. Bradbery praised the other contestants, especially Chamuel, with whom she found a bond.

After the show, Bradbery talked to reporters about her surreal experience:

"Me and Michelle were holding onto each other, shaking. When I heard my name, I could not believe it. It's going to take a while to sink in, but I'm just embracing the moment while it's here. [Country fans] are so supportive and hopefully I touched a lot of hearts out there to vote for me and keep supporting me. Hopefully, that worked. They've been sticking by my side forever and hopefully will continue to."

This marks the third time one of coach Blake Shelton's team has won the contest. In the wake of his (and her) victory, he issued the following statement:

"Obviously, she's an incredible vocalist, but I wanted them to know that she respects country music and that's why we kept throwing it back to artists from 10-20 years ago...showing Nashville that she can do that stuff, she can do new stuff. She can perform with Hunter Hayes, she can sing with me. Whatever it is you throw at her she's capable of doing."

Classicalite agrees with Mr. Shelton. This little girl has a very big future ahead of her.
