NBC's The Voice has gained a reputation for making stars, but unexpectedly found an established one in the midst of its blind auditions: Curly Sue actress Alisan Porter.
On Feb. 26, in a video posted to the show's official Facebook page, a sneak peak at an audition from the upcoming season showed Porter belting out a stunning rendition of Linda Ronstadt's "Blue Bayou." The result? Unanimous chair spins from coaches Blake Shelton, Pharell Williams, Christina Aguilera and Adam Levine.
You’ll never guess who auditions for The Voice premiere on Monday at 8/7c on NBC.

"I've been singing since I was 5 years old, I was on Star Search," the 34-year-old said. "I was an actress when I was very young," she later added. "It's not my passion; this is my passion."
Though the clip didn't show which coach Porter chose, viewers won't have long to wait to find out. The series returns this Monday, Feb. 29, for its 10th season. As we previously reported, season 10 will add some fresh faces in the form of new advisers Tori Kelly, Patti LaBelle and Diddy.
