Dia Frampton Interview, Life After The Voice

The Voice runner-up Dia Frampton seemed like the shyest person on the planet (next to Xenia, of course) but she claims that’s just not the case.

In an interview with TVLine, Frampton dishes about her on-screen shyness, her previous record label experience, and her original covers of Heartless and Losing My Religion.

Here are some excerpts from the interview:
On being signed on a record label as the sisterly duo Meg & Dia:
“Meg & Dia, we had our peak moment three or four years ago…But that was a long time ago. We first got signed to Doghouse Records when I was 18… And then we got signed to a major label with Warner/Sire, and that’s when I thought, ‘Oh my gosh, things are happening.’ We made a record with an amazing producer… and then it didn’t go anywhere. Our record came and went, we ended up getting dropped, and ever since then it’s been a really hard ride.”

On performing Heartless in the Quarterfinals and being compared to how Kris Allen covered the same song during Season 8 of American Idol:
“Honestly, I still don’t know who Kris Allen is. I haven’t watched Idol since Kelly Clarkson’s year, when I was a lot younger. [People] did tell me The Fray had done a cover, and Blake actually was the one who said, ‘Have you heard it? You could kind of go off of that.’

On appearing shy on TV:

“I’m not a really, really shy person. I think they made me out to be painfully shy on the show. But being on the show was a really new, extremely uncomfortable environment for me, where I never felt I had a confirmed space. I was always trying to prove myself. Don’t forget, I don’t think I’ve played without my sister Meg for almost a decade. Not having her literally right there next to me was such a weird thing…And here I am completely alone in this weird environment, meeting all these new and amazing singers — performing in front of Christina Aguilera — it’s not a place where I feel like I’m gonna completely burst out of my shell.”

On possible record deal with Universal Republic:
“I don’t really know. The second I got off the show I started writing, and I’m going to start playing with my sister again. I definitely want to go with the momentum, but I’m excited just to be playing and writing again.”

Vicci Martinez ended The Voice Tuesday night (June 21) with a show-stopping rendition of Florence and the Machine’s Dog Days Are Over.

Pounding two drums and sporting an ’80s white outfit and a big pompadour-type hairdo, she got a standing ovation from the crowd.

Adam Levine complemented her hair and called her efforts the “coolest performance of the night.” Blake Shelton agreed and called it the “most powerful performance of the night.” He said it was like someone threw a match on stage and lit it. “There’s no two ways about it, that was a great performance,” said Christina Aguilera.

As for Vicci’s  Coach Cee Lo Green, he said: “I’m so excited for you, I’m sitting on the edge of my seat. You’re right, the dog days are over for you, the future is so bright for you, my darling!”

UPDATE: All the videos of the performance have been pulled off of YouTube. But you can hear it in the video below:

The song title has been a trending topic on Twitter all day today.

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.”

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.
