"Heartless" the Dia Frampton version...you be the judge

This weekend I was talking with some friends and one friend asked if I had heard of Dia Frampton? I replied no, and asked who she was. My friend informed me she was a contestant on NBC’s The Voice, a singing contest show. I had never heard of the show or her, but that wasn’t a surprise because I rarely watch shows like this because there is so many on now. Nonetheless I asked more about Dia and my friend informed me that she did a remake to Kanye West’s song “Heartless” only unlike Kanye who rapped the song, Dia sang the song. I thought interesting I need to hear this! I am Kanye fan and a huge fan of that particular song. So thanks to YouTube my friend played the song for us, and WOW Dia did and amazing job, so much that I had to blog about it!

After hearing Dia I thought it was a little ironic that a young lady did this remake; it made me think about Taylor Swift. Although the two do not have the same voice or style I thought it was almost like karma for Kanye that a young lady like Dia would do this remake and actually sound amazing! Kanye took Taylor’s shine when she won her award, and now one of his best songs has a remake not done by him that is getting shine.  After chuckling to myself about the karma, I thought if I was Kanye’s manager I would get Dia to collaborate with Kanye at his next performance on this song. It would be a performance to remember for those in the audience especially for those who have not heard Dia sing on the track. The performance would definitely help Kanye’s image as being a “jerk” and maybe even gain him some new fans, not that he has a shortage of those. The YouTube video for Dia’s version already has 370,915 views and it’s only been on YouTube since June 7^th. 

Even if the two don’t collaborate lyrically Dia plays the piano while singing the song so Kanye could have her doing the live instrumental for the song while he raps. The next time Kanye has a small intimate show he needs to have Dia as a surprise guest artist on that song. All I’m saying is one of the two’s manager needs to set it up for the two to do something because it would sound great and be a hit!
