Photo Coverage: Frenchie Davis, Blake Lewis and Honor Society Perform at The Grove's Summer Concerts

On Wed, July 13, 2011 - NBC's "The Voice" star Frenchie Davis, American Idol's Blake Lewis and teen-heartthrobs Honor Society performed a free concert as part of the 9th Annual Summer Concert Series presented by Citi at The Grove in Los Angeles.

The evening kicked off with the pop rock band Honor Society performing songs from the 2009 Billboard Top 20 debut album "Fashionably Late" and their forth coming album due out in the fall.

American Idol season six star, Blake Lewis, then took the stage singing songs from his recent album "Heartbreak on Vinyl" which reached #1 on two Billboard charts. Blake surprised the audience mid-set by welcoming fellow American Idol star Elliot Yamin and The Voice stars Nakia and Vicci Martinez onstage for an impromptu beat-box sing-off which thrilled the audience.

The concert reached its glorious peak when Top 8 NBC's "The Voice" finalist Frenchie Davis (Rent, Ain't Misbehavin', Dreamgirls) hit the stage singing Donna Summer's famed disco hit "Hot Stuff." Davis continued with crowd pleasers like Cee Lo Green's "Crazy", Whitney Houston's "Wanna Dance With Somebody" and "What A Wonderful World" which she performed effortlessly on the open-air stage.

Backed by a full band lead by Music Director Todd Schroeder, Davis continued to charm the audience with hits like Gladys Knight's "Use My Imagination," "I Am Changing" from the musical Dreamgirls and more.
