Dia Frampton & Blake Shelton

So I just finished watching the last 2 episodes of Season 1 of "The Voice" and contestant, Dia Frampton has officially captured my heart.  The genuine, touching father-daughter relationship between country music star, Blake Shelton, and aspiring singer, Dia Frampton really moved me.  He seemed sincerely invested in her success on the show and off.

Clearly, Dia was grateful as well as she wrote this song to be sung with her mentor, "I Will."



In regards to the song, she wrote:

Where to begin with this song? I got to record this with Blake Shelton in Nashville. Watching him cut vocals and sing lines I had written brought tears to my eyes. (I'm a cheeseball. Sorry.) This song is the ultimate friendship song. I feel like I could hear it on any of my favorite Disney movies, and I kind of love that. I wouldn't be where I am today without the help of Blake. Whenever I sing this song I just feel so grateful and so lucky.


Off the show, Dia sings with her sister in a band called "Meg and Dia."  Since her sister and her are both half-Korean and half-Dutch, they sang this live English rendition "Lonely" by the Korean band, 2NE1.




One of my favorite songs by Meg & Dia is their amateur cover of Kid Culi's "The Pursuit of Happiness."
