The Voice Winner Announced!

He's done it! Adam Levine's act Javier Colon scoops $100,000 prize and a recording deal as he wins The Voice

Javier Colon walked away with a $100,000 cash prize and a recording contract with Universal Republic Records last night after being named the winner of The Voice.

The father-of-two narrowly pipped Dia Frampton to the prize and threw his arms in the air as host Carson Daly read out the results of the public vote.

Wiping away tears, Javier appeared shocked as he graciously paid tribute to his fellow contestants.

'I don’t even know where to begin, other than to say the three women behind me here are absolutely awesome. It was a pleasure to be here with them,' he said.

'I want to thank everybody at home who believed in me and voted for me.'

Javier’s victory sealed a memorable night, which saw him perform a tear-jerking duet with Stevie Nicks.

The Fleetwood Mac singer joined the reality TV star on stage to sing a slowed-down version of her hit record Landslide.

The performance brought the audience - and the judges - to their feet and a choked up Adam Levine, Colon's mentor, struggled to keep his composure.

'I told Stevie Nicks I wasn’t going to cry on national television, so I’m not going to cry - I’m just going to get through that,' he said.

Thumbs up: Levine watched on enthusiastically as Colon took to the stage for his final performance 

'I’m pretty speechless. That’s one of the most beautiful duets I’ve ever heard in my life.'

It was also an emotional night for country singer Blake Shelton, who saw his contestant, Dia Frampton, team up for a duet with his wife Miranda Lambert.

Miranda, who married Blake last month, showed off her wedding ring as she sang ‘The House That Built Me’ with Dia.

'I know now why I get so emotional when I’m around you Dia,' Blake said.

'Watching you stand there and sing that song with my wife, it makes sense to me. You are family to me now.'

Cee Lo Green told his finalist, Vicci Martinez, they would 'forever be bonded' after watching her perform ‘Drops of Jupiter’ with Train frontman Pat Monahan.

after she duetted on ‘Good Life’ with One Republic singer Ryan Tedder.

The blonde pop star also thanked her fellow mentors and said she felt they had formed a close bond over the course of the show.

'You’ve felt like the big brothers I never had,' she said.

Reading out the results of the public vote, host Carson Daly revealed that Javier and Dia were the top two contestants - with just two per cent separating them.

But it was Javier who took home the $100,000 cash prize and lucrative record deal.

Season Two of The Voice will air in the Winter on U.S. television.
