The mother of two and stepmom to one bonded almost immediately with Aguilera during the blind auditions. The Voice coach was in tears as Porter told her story of being a mom trying to see if she could have a second chance as a performer.

On Tuesday night, Porter beat contestants representing each of the other coaches on the show: Pharrell Williams' Nebraska pre-school teacher Hannah Huston, Adam Levine's Michigan musican Laith Al-Saadi and Blake Shelton's country crooner Adam Wakefield.
