Alisan Porter on Child Stardom, Broadway Roots & the TRUTH About Winning The Voice!

The Voice Season 10 winner Alisan Porter joins producer Michelle DeBellis on Dibs On This for one of Hollywood's most remarkable full-circle stories! From finishing as a Junior Finalist on Star Search at just five years old, to starring opposite Jim Belushi as Curly Sue at nine, to walking away from the spotlight at the height of her child star fame, then taking a chance on Broadway, to go back to TV where she won season 10 of The Voice Season at 34 years old. There is truly no story like Alisan Porter’s! Alisan opens up about what it was really like growing up as a child star with a show business family, the Broadway crash-out that became the turning point of her life, her sobriety journey, and what was going on behind the scenes of The Voice - including the demise of her marriage happening in real time simultaneously as she was rising to major success on the show. She also gets candid about the music industry's treatment of women and mothers, why she walked away from her Republic Records deal, and how she found her calling as a vocal coach and talent manager.
