Dia Frampton One Step Away From Winning ‘The Voice’
Earlier this Tuesday, Utah’s Dia Frampton moved into the finals of NBC’s hit singing competition The Voice, but it was no “walk in the park.”
After the eight semifinalists performed their songs, each of the four pairs of contestants received points from their coach/judge. That total was added to 100 points assigned as a percentage of viewers’ votes.
After Dia’s coach/judge, country music star Blake Shelton, split his 100 points between her and Xenia Martinez, 23-year-old Hampton’s fate was left in the hands of the viewers.
“I believe in them both so much and I love them. I mean, I really do,” Shelton said. “You can’t put a score on that. You can’t put a number on that.”
In the end, Frampton squeezed out a narrow victory by grabbing 56 of the 100 total viewer points available.
“I’m just so grateful for this opportunity,” said Frampton, fighting back tears.
The four finalists will perform on “The Voice” next Tuesday, June 27 at 9pm EST.
The winner, who will receive a $100,000 prize and a recording contract, will be declared during the show’s finale on Wednesday at 8pm. Additionally, Miranda Lambert, the Grammy-winning wife of Shelton, is scheduled to team up with Frampton for a special duet prior to the final vote.

I can't say I was all that impressed with her voice. I thought there were better singers than Dia. She did present herself more confidently than some of the others in the competition.
Jun 24, 2011
Ok Michael Soze, stop trying to pump up Dia by writing that she's one step away from winning. That's untrue dude. ALL of them are one step away from winning. Just say that she's YOUR favorite because if I'm not mistaken JAVIER is a force to be reckoned with. Stop putting the cart before the horse dude because in my opinion, she's alright but is not remotely as skilled as Javier, so let's just sit back and watch as the best MAN (JAVIER) wins! Who are u Miss Cleo? LOL!
Jun 24, 2011
The other 3 are one step away too! Personally, I'm routing for Beverly and Javier!
Jun 24, 2011
excuse me…"rooting" for them!
Jun 24, 2011
I don't know if many people know this, but Dia is already in a rock band with her sister Meg and they are called Meg & Dia. She has had videos on MTV and they have pretty big fan base. I saw them in concert with Plain White T's 2 years ago, so I want someone else to win, because she already has a following and probably a nice pocket book it said on the show she is children's book author as well, all I have to say to that is cha-ching, lol.

I see Javier as having the greatest potential to sell his music over the rest of the folks. I would potentially buy his music, but can't say that about any of the other finalists. The final show should be interesting and of course, I'll be rooting for Javier. And if he does win, I hope he will have good song writers behind him. The industry won't care who wins, but who will sell the most music. It's all about the money $$$$$$$$!

lol funny chuck hehe
Jun 24, 2011
hey tonya we all know dia will blow haviers crap away lol
Jun 25, 2011
I agree with you LaTonya !!! When I saw the head lines I thought I would read something that would back up that big statement like maybe she knew something I didn't !! But as always it's just a fan trying to use her power to get her choice to win. All 4 have made it where they are based on votes by the fans and many were voting for more than one because you could vote for all 4. But this week we will only get 10 votes and most people will have to now choose only one. I think each still have a great chance of winning but for me I now won't vote for Dia as she was never the strongest singer there !!!

Javier sounds like every other guy singer… Dia is unique and last time I checked she's trending on yahoo and Javier isn't
Jun 25, 2011
She used most of her OWN money to make albums and tour because she has no label. Label's pay for all that jazz… so she deserves to win just as everyone else.
Jun 25, 2011
Uh Mark, I don't know who the we are that u speak of and ur not French, so clearly from everyone else's comments Dia has nothing on Javier. And, I would hardly call his singing crap bcuz if I recall ALL 4 JUDGES TURNED THEIR CHAIRS AROUND WHEN JAVIER AUDITIONED AND THEY FOUGHT OVER HIM…Ummm how many turned around for Dia and how many fought for her? NUFF SAID! LOL!
Jun 25, 2011
When I first saw this story I almost cried with joy. Imagine! Two of rocks greatest performers, Ronnie James Dio and Peter Frampton, together at last! Then I read the story, and realized I am stupid.
Jun 25, 2011
I agree with LaTonya
Jun 25, 2011
I'm a fan of Meg & Dia. but I don't follow The Voice at all… that being said why is an already established musician like Dia in this competition?
Jun 25, 2011
at least half of the other artists have released albums before. Javier colon was signed to capital records and released 2 albums. [Vicki up top and James below] One of those albums was in the billboard top 100, so lets see how far your whining about Dia being in a band and probably has a nice pocket book blah blah blah gets you. Dia to win it all. Thanks for playing.
Jun 25, 2011
See this guy next to me? Pretty nice, huh? Yea! YEA! So much for my life…how's yours?
Jun 25, 2011
Thanks for the thumbs up girls. You have good taste too!
Jun 25, 2011
Remember folks! It's all about who will sell the most music, not how they look. Good luck to all and "GO JAVIER"! You're babies will need new shoes! lol
Jun 26, 2011
It's not an amateur contest. The other vocalists have had records out before too. One of the contestants had a billboard top 100 song, another had 5 independently produced albums out. It's for artists who aren't currently signed I guess.
Jun 27, 2011
dia will kick assss, whewn she was on the other judges already had a lot of people, only chiristina and adam did not turn around you will see my friend ;P
Jun 27, 2011
SHE IS KICKING HIS ASS ON ITUNES TOO LOL
Jun 27, 2011
HEY javier is a one trick pony, he only knows how to sing one way
Jun 27, 2011
hey guys when dia wins the voice you can comment on my facebook page and say you were wrong, thank you.
Jun 30, 2011
Hey Mark! Looks like the one trick pony took the big prize home. And Dia did not deserve to win at this time. She needs to first learn how to sing!
