It's not the first time she has appeared on a TV talent show. She wowed the judges on Star Search back in 1987.

But now she is hoping for a comeback on Monday’s season premiere.
Pharrell told her: “With a voice like that, how did you ignore the signs you were supposed to be doing this all your life?”
“Honestly, I was going through a hard time in life. I actually got sober nearly eight years ago,” she said. "I fell in love and I had children and that was my goal to just be a good mom. And I really feel like the universe just had a plan for me because you guys turned for me today."
