NBC’s “The Voice” has teamed up with Clear Hair.
Clear Hair brought new voices to the Crosby Hotel for an amazing concert with performances by Dia Frampton from Season 1, Jacquie Lee and Will Champlin from Season 5. But supermodel Miranda Kerr kicked off the event by showing her new commercial with Clear, followed by an amazing segment by Lee who sang “I Put a Spell on You” from Nina Simone, followed by the original song “Tears Fall” written by Sia. She wore a simple blue skater dress with a bold defined cat eye.
Will Champlin then took the stage in an all black ensemble with jeans and tee paired with a tuxedo jacket. He serenaded the crowd with “Carry On” by Fun., while playing the keyboard and slowing the song down to personalize it, but still keeping parts of the original melody.
Dia Frampton finished off the show with her guitar crooning “How to Say Goodbye,” a song which she wrote and “Wake Me Up” by Avicii, while wearing a black leather jacket, simple white tee and a floral skirt. The Clear Hair commercials that each performer starred in were shown between each performance, explaining where they find their resilience from.
Jacquie Lee reflected on her “The Voice” journey.
What was life like before “The Voice”?
Before “The Voice,” life was just like a normal high school. I performed at coffee houses after school, but I only performed because nobody really goes to those. It was like a cool escape, and then I hadn’t really sang in front of really huge crowds with a bunch of people, it was weird. Then, I got on really randomly and now it’s really different.
Who was your mentor on the show and what was it like collaborating with her?
My mentor on the show was Christina Aguilera and it was amazing getting to learn everything from her. There was not a better person in my mind who I could want as a mentor because she’s a soul singer as well as me, and she started off young in the industry just like I’m doing. So she really helped me and the advice she gave me went beyond “The Voice,” stage which I really appreciated, because I still use and apply it everywhere I go. She’s really wise.
So what’s that piece of advice that applies to everything?
There’s a bunch, my favorite, is when she tells me to write as much as I can down at night, just so as time goes on it’s easy to lose yourself in a bunch of different things, and if you just go back, and read what you wrote from a long time ago, it’ll just keep you grounded, and keep you remembering who you are inside and who you were and who you’ll always be.
So what’s next for you?
I’ve been writing and recording, and looking into labels and stuff, so I’m just going to go for it. Branch off my career like any artist would. Definitely writing a lot of original music and not forgetting what it’s really all about because once you get involved in getting really hungry for the success and the fame and stuff, you forget about the music, and that’s why I’m here.
