'The Voice's' Team Adam: Watch Javier Colon and Casey Weston perform

Most of the teams on "The Voice" are pretty evenly matched, but Adam Levine's team seems rather lopsided to us, when it comes to sheer talent. After Levine sent Jeff Jenkins and Devon Barley packing at the beginning on the show, he was left with Javier Colon -- who has emerged as a fan favorite because of his extraordinary voice -- and Casey Weston, who left us with a rather lukewarm performance tonight.Casey took the stage with one of the most challenging songs in the history of pop music: "I Will Always Love You," as popularized by Whitney Houston, so it's no wonder that her performance fell slightly flat. Despite the fact that we felt it was weak, the coaches praised her.
Levine even noted that they had argued several times while they prepared the performance. "We've definitely battled a bit, but it's a good thing," he said. "I want you to have your own opinions. This performance tonight proves that our arguments pay off."
Javier chose to sing Coldplay's "Fix You," a song that almost anyone can relate to. Levine warned him about embellishing too much on the song. "That's such a huge song for so many people that it's important that you give it its due respect," he told Javier.
During the performance, Javier shocked everyone -- not with his voice, because that's no surprise anymore, but by finally taking off his ever-present hat. "I'm so pissed off that I wasn't over there to catch that hat," Blake Shelton said later, "because the son of a bitch is gonna be worth a lot of money."
Cee-Lo said, "Wonderful song choice. Chris and Gwyneth are both friends of mine."
"I'm Cee-Lo. I know celebrities," Levine interrupted. Ever the jokester.
Do you agree with us that Javier will easily beat Casey, or do you think we're off base? Let us know in the comments below.

I Completely Agree, Adam's Team Is Truly Off-Balanced, But Then Again Javier's Voice Is Just That Amazing. It Was A Total Surprise When Adam Picked Casey Over Jeff. I Really Thought Jeff Was The Better Of The Three............Heck Even Devon Was Better Than Casey
I completely agree. No competition there. I was quite surprised Adam picked Casey. I thought Jeff was better than her.
honestly Casey Weston is a much better singer then Jeff. anyone who sings like rascal flatts usually isnt that talented but unfortunately javier colon is one of the best singers i have ever heard and I'm a music professor.
I'm miffed he picked Casey, but maybe he felt like he could coach Casey better-- as Blake felt about Xenia--the only thing good about Casey's performance tonight was the dress, though Casey is not Stevie Nicks. I get why Javier is so popular, but I'm tired of the showboating. I'm pulling for Vicki, Dia, or Frenchie now. Xena could eventually be something, but she looks sacred to death -- needs time.
Javier to win!! He is just awesome!
So, I'm over Javier...he has a wonderful voice, but get out of the comfort zone or showcase a different side of you...you sound like every other artist. My favorite is Dia, with Vicki and Bev tied at a very close second.
Javier has the most AMAZING voice I have ever heard!!! No one else in the competition can touch him and anyone that thinks so is an idiot! He's going all the way!
seriously casey has an awesome voice and i want her to beat Javier just cause everyone expects him 2
If anyone thinks Casey is better than Javier there nuts! And I'm not saying that because its Javier. I'm saying that because she is the worst. Singer left in the competition. Twice I seen her saved against Somone better than her.(once in first round) please don't think I'm knocking her. She has a nice tone but she has that constant echo that makes her voice sound goatish. Adam clearly saved her because of attraction.
Dia and Javier make me sleepy when they sing.
