In 'The Voice' (US), which singer won season 1 in 2011?

The story behind the answer

Javier Colon won season 1 of the US reality singing competition 'The Voice' in 2011.

Colon competed on Adam Levine's team and defeated Dia Frampton and Beverly McClellan in the final. His victory earned him a recording contract and a cash prize, as well as the distinction of becoming the show's first US winner.

'The Voice' premiered on NBC in April 2011. Its signature Blind Auditions require coaches to choose singers without initially seeing them, using only a chair-turn button to indicate interest.

Colon is sometimes confused with later winners such as Cassadee Pope, who won season 3, or Jordan Smith, who won season 9. The answer refers specifically to the first American season, not the original Dutch version or another country's edition.
