Javier Colon was named the first ever winner of The Voice Wednesday night but he still can’t believe it’s for real.
Colon told Celebuzz in a post-win interview that he thought he had lost and was ready to congratulate co-finalist Dia Frampton when Carson Daly announced his name instead.
That’s fascinating considering his amazing talent, his favored status since day one, and his captivating stage presence, all of which was only amplified by the fact that Justin Bieber Tweeted to his then 10.6 million followers several times to vote for Colon in The Voice finale.
And if that weren’t enough, Bieber’s manager, Scooter Braun, also got behind the Twitter campaign and asked his almost 900K fans to do the same.
Despite such massive and unparalleled support for any of the other three finalists, Colon wasn’t convinced he’d win. “I was 100 percent in my mind, I was ready and prepared for Carson to say, ‘And the winner of The Voice is Dia Frampton.’ I was going to be okay with that because I absolutely love Dia. She is amazing and deserved a win as much as we all did,” Colon told Celebuzz.
OK, so, the win was unexpected for Colon, but, now, back to the possible game-changing Bieber plug–remember, only 2% of the votes separated Colon and runner-up Frampton. Did Colon know he would get the support of the second most popular celeb on Twitter before the finale? “Not at all,” Colon told Celebuzz. “Adam had played basketball with Justin at one point and knew his manager Scooter Braun, so they both tweeted out to their millions of followers to vote for me. Not sure if it was Adam’s connection to Justin or what, but he put his support behind me, and it meant a lot.”
NBC aired The Voice finale results show Wednesday, June 29, 2011. One of the four finalists, Beverly McClellan, Javier Colon, Vicci Martinez, or Dia Frampton was crowned the first-ever Voice winner.

Sadly, NBC’s The Voice is ending tonight in a star-studed finale Wednesday night, only a few short weeks after it steam-rolled into our living rooms.
Team Adam Levine’s Javier Colon sang first on Tuesday (June 28) night’s The Voice finale on NBC. Javier performed an original song produced by Rodney Jenkins, Stitch by Stitch, and dedicated the song to his family.
Blake Shelton was left in awe of him and said he has a lot of respect for him. Christina said his execution was really good. Cee Lo Green said the song belonged to Javier. Adam was chocked up at the thought of the amazing career waiting for Javier. Both Adam and Blake spoke of how much of a genuinely nice guy Javier is.

Javier has a great chance to win the whole thing – not only has he been the front runner since day one, one of his biggest fans, Justin Bieber, has been Tweeting all day today and yesterday asking his 10.6 million Twitter followers to vote for Javier.

During Javier’s performance he finally took off his hat. Blake Shelton said: “I’m so pissed off that I wasn’t over there to catch that hat because the son of a bitch is gonna be worth a lot of money.”
Cee-Lo Green said, “Wonderful song choice. Chris and Gwyneth are both friends of mine.”
“I’m Cee-Lo. I know celebrities,” Adam Levine interrupted.
