No Luck for Vicci: Javier Colon Wins The Voice
So much for my predictions: In the end, America (read: teenage girls) chose soft rocker Javier Colon as the first-ever winner of NBC’s The Voice, with oh-so-shy Dia Frampton taking second. Don’t worry about Beverly McClellan and Tacoma’s Vicci Martinez, though: The New York Times is already calling them the "season’s true breakout stars"— powerhouse singers and raucous performers. Expect a big homecoming for Vicci when she plays the Triple Door on July 23, showing off some of her new, Cee Lo-approved theatricality. I had a chance to interview her before the show ended—find out what she thought of her TV moment in our July feature Voice of Tacoma.
