Westport knew her as Ali Porter.
Movie-goers knew her as Curly Sue.
Now the nation knows Alisan Porter as the newest victor on “The Voice.”
The former Staples High School Players actor/singer stood tall last night. She won the NBC show’s 10th season in convincing fashion. Her heartfelt duet with Jennifer Nettles of “Unlove You” capped a run to the title that included an astonishing, judges-head-turning blind audition rendition of “Blue Bayou,” followed by fantastic covers of artists like Janis Joplin, Aerosmith and Demi Lovato.
Congratulations, Ali — er, Alisan. You’ve done us all proud.
And we can’t wait to hear you at your welcome-home concert here!
Congrats Alison, she has an incredible voice!
When is the welcome-home concert? I may just have to travel back home to Westport for that!
I made that up 🙂 Maybe someone will organize it and/or convince her to come…
The 2017 Levitt benefit concert?
I saw the very end last night. She had her family onstage with her. It was great.
Congratulations!
As soon as I heard the blind audition and Blue Bayou, I knew Alisan was going to win. She did a fabulous job.
