NBC's The Voice won't be coming back until February 2012. So we still have plenty of time to decide whether Season 1 winner Javier Colon can stand on his own as a pop music sensation.

If you're not sure yet, circle Dec. 17 on your calendar. That's when the acoustic R&B singer will make his first headlining appearance in Tampa Bay, with a gig at the Straz Center in Tampa.

Colon will perform at 8 p.m. Dec. 17 at Ferguson Hall. Tickets start at $27.50, and they go onsale Friday. Click here for details.

Give him a shot. Come on, Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green, Blake Shelton and Adam Levine can't be that wrong, can they?
