On tonight’s semi-finals competition of The Voice, it was the pros who stole the show.
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.”
Watch her performance for yourself:
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.
Javier Colon‘s rendition of Fix You by Coldplay on Tuesday’s The Voice proved once again that this guy will be in the finals come week.
During Javier’s performance he finally took off his hat. Blake Shelton said: “I’m so pissed off that I wasn’t over there to catch that hat because the son of a bitch is gonna be worth a lot of money.”
Cee-Lo Green said, “Wonderful song choice. Chris and Gwyneth are both friends of mine.”
“I’m Cee-Lo. I know celebrities,” Adam Levine interrupted.
Watch Javier below:
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.
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.”
NOTE TO SELF: When in Austin, TX, leave my phone at home before going to see a movie. Duly noted.

Sean Kingston used Twitter to tell us that he is doing OK a mere three weeks after a jet ski accident that left him nearly dead.
“Feeling alot better! GOD IS GREAT! Thanks for all the prayers and support! Love you ALL!” Kingston Tweeted with this photo.
Grammy award winning singer and songwriter Adele has been ordered by doctors to stop singing and speaking for at least a month so she can heal from acute laryngitis – or risk damaging her voice permanently.
The singer was forced to cancel her North American tour earlier this month and it seems that things have not yet improved.
She wrote on her website: “I’m really frustrated. I was hoping with a week’s rest I’d be better to sing again straight away. However there is absolutely nothing I can do but take the doctors advice and rest some more. I’m so sorry.”
