Javier Colon may have won the first season of The Voice, but Dia Frampton always had a special place in the hearts of many fans, including myself.  And to be honest, I was not all that impressed with Javier’s first single As Long As We Got Love.  Even featuring Natasha Bedingfield made it a pretty ‘eh’ song.  The first single from Dia (though she was in a duo group with her sister for years…) is right up there with the heartbreaking lyric stylings of Adele and even a touch of country (Blake Shelton influence perhaps?) to the likes of Lady Antebellum, with a side of Brandi Carlile.  At any rate, it’s a perfect song of the autumn.  I hope she continues to turn out more gems such as this.  What do you think?

American Idol can suck it.  The Voice has more talent, better “judges” (aka coaches) and a more insightful way of finding America’s next great voice.  There was a flood of talent (and a few lesbians) last night— was really hard not to like any of the singers.  But after the season premiere, I’ve already been won over by Connecticut native Javier Colon.  His cover of Cyndi Lauper’s “Time After Time” was absolutely beautiful - I bet Cyndi would be proud!  Did you watch The Voice last night?
