Frenchie Davis put her larger-than-life voice and persona into her rendition of Madonna’s Like a Prayer on Tuesday’s (June 21) The Voice.

Cee Lo Green called her his “soul sister throwing down.” Adam Levine simply professed his love for Davis.

But Blake Shelton had the best line of the night, calling Davis’ rendition a big middle finger to anyone who ever doubted Christina Aguilera‘s save of the musician last week. Aguilera said: “That took some lungs and breath, and power and control. You got it … All of that.”

Here are some pics of Frenchie from her interview with Mario Lopez of Extra at The Grove.

On June 21st episode of The Voice, Xenia brought her undeniable unique tone and understated style to The Man Who Can’t Be Moved. Blake Shelton coached her into putting her own spin on the song.

On stage, it was just Xenia and a mic. There were no gimmicks, props, backup singers or dancers. She doesn’t need any of that.  Adam Levine said she already owns the hardest thing to obtain, and that is a really unique voice. Christina Aguilera agreed with Adam about the uniqueness of Xenia’s voice and complimented its maturity. She also said Xenia is one of her favorites in the competition. Cee Lo Green loves that Xenia has remained unaffected by all the pressure around her. Blake Shelton said that he knows that he will hear Xenia’s voice on the radio and it will stand out from all the other voices.

Dia Frampton won the judges over with her rendition of R.E.M.’s Losing My Religion performed during the second half of The Voice elimination show Tuesday June 21.

Frampton had already wowed us when she performed Kanye West’s Heartless earlier in the season–a rendition which turned into a top 20 song in iTunes sales.

Christina Aguilera told Frampton that she has shown the most growth of all the singers on The Voice. “What’s so interesting about you is that in the beginning I’m all like ‘[she’s] cuddly, soft’,” said Aguilera, “but I’ve seen you grow so much on the show. You kind of made this an interesting game.”

Her coach Blake Shelton joined the praises by joking that he is worried Frampton will release a song and blow his songs off the charts because she is that good. After a standing ovation, Shelton said: “That’s what this show is about. A girl stood out here on this stage an performed and left her heart and soul on the stage. That’s what you’re supposed to do and you do it every time.”

Christina Aguilera Hits Paycheck Gold On ‘The Voice’

It’s not every day that a woman out gains a man in the pay department for the same job done. But Christina Aguilera has made herself an exception. We just found out that she makes a whopping $225,000 per episode of NBC’s hit show, The Voice.

Aguilera’s co-stars Cee Lo Green, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton each only make $75,000 per episode, which isn’t too shabby at all. But that means Christina makes $150,000 more per episode than her male counterparts. Or triple the pay.
That’s really awesome. Way to go Xtina!
