Javier Colon, the American singer-songwriter and former member of the band EMCQ, was crowned ‘The Voice’ champion during Wednesday’s grand finale, reports OK Magazine.

Colon, who was previously signed to Capitol Records, stormed to victory on the show beating rivals Vicci Martinez, Beverly MCLellan and Dia Frampton.

Although he was considered the big favourite to win the show, the singer may have benefitted from his celebrity supporters – most notably Justin Bieber. The 17-year-old Canadian pop star is good friends with Colon’s mentor Adam Levine, and has made no secret of his allegiances to the Connecticut soul singer. Before last night’s final, Bieber tweeted,

“good luck 2nite to @Javstwtr and my basketball rival @AdamLevine on The Voice. everybody support. thanks @Javstwtr can sing!”

After being crowned the first-ever winner of ‘The Voice’, Colon acknowledged the possible boost he got from Bieber’s tweeting, saying,

“He sent out a tweet to all of his people, and we won by two percent. I don’t know how many of them voted or how many of them just maybe followed me on Twitter. But I’m thankful to everyone who lent their support, who told their folks to give me a chance”.

For winning ‘The Voice’, Javier Colon will receive a $100,000 prize and a recording contract.

Kim Kardashian, Adam Levine & Usher — All The Stars Were Out For Biebs’ BFF’s big night!

Scooter Braun — the man who discovered Justin Bieber and shared his gifts with the world — turned 30 on June 18, and to celebrate he threw a lavish carnival-themed birthday party with some A-list buddies! HollywoodLife.com was at The Music Box in Hollywood for the shindig and got a glimpse of all of the action!

Justin, 17, was there supporting his manager, spending much of the night playing beer pong (with water!) against his buddy Jaden Smith. But it was easy for him to get distracted by all the extravagance. The carnival theme was wild, with fire throwers and belly dancers. And the entertainment? Let’s just say it was the top of the A-list!

All of the musical talent there performed, and it was a who’s-who of pop! Justin kicked things off by singing “Never Say Never” with a rap by Jaden, who also took over the Ludacris part in “Baby.” Then MC Hammer somewhat randomly ran through some hits, including “Too Legit To Quit.” Usher kept the party going by performing a set filled with hits like “Yeah!”, and although he was shy to get onstage, Adam Levine even belted out Maroon 5′s smash “This Love.”

Meanwhile, a Kris Humphries-free Kim Kardashian was mingling in the crowd, along with celebs such as her frenemy Paris Hilton and singer Mary J. Blige.

It was a great night for one of the nicest guys in showbusiness!

HOLLYWOOD LIFE

Justin is on the drums.

Today, Justin Bieber, Adam Levine (along with singer-songwriter PJ Morton, Bieber’s manager Scooter Braun and his bodyguard Kenny Hamilton) have been all over Twitter talking about some epic basketball games that went down. Apparently, Levine and Bieber were on separate teams, and the duo is now engaged in a Twitter war, trash-talking each other’s b-ball skills.

Levine seemed to have dominated the court since he tweeted at teammate Scooter Braun, writing, “@scooterbraun, is this the part where i tell the world that @justinbieber can play ball? we shut him down though. #DEFENSEwinsgames.” Bieber also wrote in saying, “#wewongames.”

This comment was much to Bieber’s disliking: “@adamlevine u know what really happened 2nite. only reason u guys won any games was because @scooterbraun shot 3′s in @kennyhamilton‘s face.”

Bieber went on to write, “and @adamlevine u need to remember you lost the first games because i was killing@PJMORTON – tell him to stick to playin keys. lol.” The Maroon 5 frontman and ‘The Voice‘ coach quickly tweeted back, saying, “@justinbieber ok ok that’s fair. You let @PJMORTON have it. I like the trash talking. Wait til NBA2K. #gonnabeugly.”

The playfully heated conversation ended with Bieber tweeting “#wewongames,” and Levine replying, “#wewonmore.” We think this calls for an official rematch. Levine versus Bieber, one-on-one!
