It was during the April 26, 2011 premiere episode of The Voice, which featured the blind auditions, where the audience met husband, father, and phenomenal singer Javier Colon. Colon’s voice impressed all four coaches, Adam Levine, CeeLo Green, Christina Aguilera, and Blake Shelton, so much that they all turned their chairs around during his initial performance. Colon decided to make Team Adam his home for the remainder of the competition. 
Colon survived the battle round and went through to the Top 16, where his performance of Sarah McLachlan’s “Angel” was a highlight of the performance night. During the Top Eight, he put a modern twist on Coldplay’s “Fix You,” which would help ensure his spot representing Team Adam in the finals.
In the end, there was only a two percent difference in the voting margin between Colon and Team Blake artist, Dia Frampton. After over two months of hard work, dedication, and singing “Landslide” with Stevie Nicks on live television, Colon was announced the as the winner of The Voice season one.
The morning after his big win, Colon participated in a conference call with the press where he discussed what advice Adam Levine imparted on him during the show, his reaction to finding out he'd be singing with Stevie Nicks, and what winning means for him and his family.
When speaking about how he was going to approach the blind auditions on The Voice, Colon said that he went into it “pretty open,” and that he would have been happy on any of the coaches’ teams.
“I think you really had to put more weight on who really wanted you on their team, and who was really saying the things that you wanted to hear and that you’d have to believe that really wanted you. And that person for me was Adam,” he said.

Colon is a great singer and all around good guy. He was up against some very good competition and preformed very well each time up. I really enjoy seeing the good guys win.
