Last night, we experienced the long-awaited announcement of the winner of The Voice’s first season: Javier Colon. Colon, in-show protégé of judge Adam Levine, beat out runner-up Dia Frampton by only a two-percent margin. The other finalists were Vincent Martinez and Beverly McClellan. Colon expressed a great deal of respect and admiration for all three of his competitors after winning the title.
Colon, a native of Connecticut, went on to say that before receiving the opportunity to perform and compete on The Voice, he was nearly considering giving up on his dream of singing professionally in favor of a more fiscally reliable career.
Colon’s victory comes with $100,000 cash as well as a position on The Voice’s summer tour (to begin in July) and, best of all, a recording contract with Universal Republic.
The Voice will return for a second season following the 2012 Super Bowl.
