A woman named Alisan Porter performed a stunning rendition of Linda Ronstadt’s Blue Bayou on The Voice in America. It was so astonishing she had two judges prostrating themselves at her feet.
Christina Aguilera was left delicately wiping away tears from her eyes after she discovered that she and Porter had something in common.
Like Aguilera, 35, Porter, now 34, was a child star.
Porter’s best-known role was as the title character in the Jim Belushi family comedy Curly Sue, in which she played Belushi’s adorable streetwise sidekick in crime.
“Shut up!” said Pharrell upon discovering this information.
“No way!” said Levine.

All four judges turned around early in the performance. Adam Levine tried to charm her by kissing her hand and gazing deeply into her eyes, and Aguilera sat kneeling at her feet.
This was all before she discovered that like Aguilera, Porter was on Star Search — and that she played Curly Sue.
After the last impressive note, Aguilera asked Porter about her background.
Look how adorable Curly Sue is… Post continues after video.
