Javier Colon The Voice

Starting April 26, 2011, Javier Colon appeared as a contestant on NBC’s reality talent show The Voice. The show, produced by John de Mol and Mark Burnett, features a group of contestants competing for a $100,000 grand prize and a Universal Republic recording contract.

On the first show, Javier sang the Cyndi Lauper classic “Time After Time”. All four judges, Adam Levine, Cee-Lo Green, Blake Shelton and Christina Aguilera, opted to take him as one of their finalists, with both Levine and Shelton giving him a standing ovation. He was the only contestant in blind auditions stage besides Jeff Jenkins to win all four judges. As judge Shelton was very late in hitting his “I Want You” button, despite urging by the other judges, show host Carson Daly jokingly said, “Oh Blake, you’re an idiot!”

In comments, Cee Lo Green called him a “soul brother” and said “it was perfect”. Levine added: “It was so perfect, it was so tasteful too.. I wanna win this (expletive), so I really need, really need for you to pick me…” Blake added: “I’m clearly over my head here… and I’m already a fan of yours already”. Javier eventually chose Adam Levine as his coach/mentor.

On May 17, 2011, in the Battle Round (the Final 32), Javier’s coach Adam Levine put him against Angela Wolff choosing that they both sing “Stand By Me”, originally by Ben E. King. As a result, Levine picked him to continue in the show in the live shows, as part of the Final 16.

On June 14, 2011, Javier Colon sang Sarah McLachlan’s song “Angel”.

On June 21, 2011, Javier Colon sang Coldplay’s “Fix You”. The judges and the audience seemed to be thrilled that he took his signature hat off. Colon’s coach, Adam Levine, said “You are the real deal. Competition or no, you have one of the best voices I’ve ever heard, ever!”

On June 22, 2011, Javier Colon advanced in the competition by accumulating the highest score on Team Adam. The highest score was determined by coach Adam Levine’s score in combination with all America’s votes. He beat out fellow team member Casey Weston to move on in the music competition.

On June 24, 2011, Javier Colon and the rest of The Voice “Final Four” contestants appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. During each commercial break each contestant sang a song that he or she had previously performed on The Voice. During one of the commercial breaks, Javier sang “Time After Time”. At the end of the broadcast, The Voice “Final Four” joined in song and performed The Beatles song “Come Together”.

On June 28, 2011, Javier Colon sang an original song titled “Stitch by Stitch”. The song was produced by himself, his coach Adam Levine and Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins. Later in the show, Javier and his coach Adam Levine performed a cover together of “Man In the Mirror” by Michael Jackson.

On June 29, 2011, Javier Colon and Stevie Nicks performed “Landslide” together. At the end of the show, the voting results were announced. With more votes than any other contestant, Javier Colon won the first season of NBC’s “The Voice”, receiving $100,000 in cash and a Universal Republic recording contract.

What Happened To Javier Colon

Javier Colon released his third album Come Through For You on Universal Republic Records on November 21, 2011. The debut single from the album is “As Long As We Got Love” and features Natasha Bedingfield. The album also includes “Stand Up”, a song that features his mentor during The Voice, Adam Levine, and a song “Raise Your Hand”, co-written by Season 8 American Idol Winner, Kris Allen.

A year after winning The Voice and being signed by Universal, Colon announced his departure from the record label through BuddyTV on June 7, 2012, stating the lack of support for his latest album Come Through for You, and his first after the win, as the reason. In his statement, he says: “I went into it with high hopes, as I believe everyone did. But when you pour your heart and soul into a new album that you think is really great, and your label who is supposed to support, market and promote your music does neither, it’s really hard not to be upset. The truth is, we are all better off going our separate ways.” Colon continues singing and looking for “a more mutually beneficial relationship”.

In 2013, he launched the series Inside Voice, full title Inside Voice with Javier Colon, a weekly show broadcast on Back9Network that he co-hosts with Jenn Bosworth. In the show, they discuss season 5 of The Voice.

In 2014, Concord Music Group announced the addition of Javier Colon to their list of artists. The label released his fourth album, Gravity in 2016.

Voice Winner Javier Colon Remembers Late Castmate Beverly McClellan: ‘She Was a Born Leader’

He is paying tribute to fellow Voice contestant Beverly McClellan — a stand out voice and “insanely talented artist.”

Late Wednesday, the season one Voice winner posted on Instagram to remember McClellan just one day after she died from cancer.

“Such a heavy heart tonight,” the season one winner of The Voice began. “Our @nbcthevoice Season One family lost a great one. @beverlyshanemcclellan was such a beast. A beautiful human being an insanely talented artist. She could rock with the best and make them look bad.”

“I hadn’t spoken to Bev in a while. I so wish I had reached out sooner,” he added. “I will miss her forever positive attitude, her powerhouse voice, her larger than life personality, and her ability to fill a room with positive energy as soon as she stepped into it. I wish you all had gotten a chance to meet her.”

“One couldn’t help but be inspired by her. She was a born leader and did her thing, the way she wanted to, unapologetically, like a boss. Bev, we will miss you terribly. I know you’re making everyone in heaven smile as you rock with angels. Rock on Bev. Until I see you again. Rest In Peace love. @unclebeverly #cancersucks,” he concluded.

McClellan, who competed in the first season of The Voice in 2011, died of cancer at age 49 on Tuesday afternoon surrounded by close friends, her wife Monique announced Wednesday. She was diagnosed on March 30 with endometrial cancer that had spread to her colon, bladder and intestines, according to her GoFundMe page.

“Beverly went home at 4:36 p.m.,” Monique wrote. “She was surrounded by so much love and we shared some beautiful last days. Thank you to everyone who has been so supportive of us. We appreciate all of the love you have given and the good vibes you have sent. Peace love and light to you and your loved ones.”

The Voice posted a note in light of her death. “The only thing greater than Beverly McClellan’s voice was her heart. Our thoughts are with her family, friends, and fans during this difficult time.”

On The Voice, McClellan auditioned with a powerful rendition of “Piece of My Heart” that made both Adam Levine and Christina Aguilera turn their chairs. McClellan joined Team Christina.

“I feel like I’m waking up in a dream every day and I don’t ever want it to go away because it’s the best ever,” McClellan told PEOPLE after making it to the final four with Vicci Martinez, Dia Frampton, and eventual winner Javier Colon. “I just want to keep shooting for the moon.”

McClellan had a cold during the live rounds that year. “Well, we got a humidifier because I’m from Florida,” she explained. “I’m not used to the desert! [Aguilera] got that for me and some hot teas and sprays. It was a complete package.”

“I am absolutely heartbroken,” Nakia, who appeared alongside McClellan on The Voice, tweeted. “Truly a unique soul with a beautiful heart, full of passion & an amazing talent.”

In June, her GoFundMe page noted that McClellan was finding musical inspiration in her battle. “Beverly has mentioned multiple times that a great album and ‘The Living Room’ tour is coming out of this experience — she has lots of material coming from this journey and it’s only the beginning,” the page said.

“Our journey to get Beverly better has come to an end,” her GoFundMe page informed her friends earlier in October. The page noted that McClellan would be “singing for us in the heavens.”

“I am blessed to share my music with the world!” McClellan wrote in her Twitter bio.
