- Morgan Greenwald
- Justin Timberlake. As many boy band fanatics already know, Justin Timberlake didn't get his start in *NSYNC. Rather, a young JT—then going by Justin Randall—actually competed on Star Search in 1992, though he lost to Anna Nardona.
- Beyoncé. In 1993, a band called Girl's Tyme appeared on Star Search—and lost. Normally the losing group wouldn't make history, but this one was an exception, seeing as two of its members were Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland.
- Britney Spears. Even before she was a Mouseketeer, 10-year-old Britney Spears was a contestant on Star Search back in 1992. The star-to-be lost to a singer named Marty Thomas, but that didn't keep her from becoming a pop sensation.
- Christina Aguilera. Not everyone recognizes or appreciates raw natural talent when it's right in front of them. Case in point: In 1990, when she appeared on Star Search, a nine-year-old Christina Aguilera lost to a 12-year-old named Christopher Eason.

- Aaliyah. The talented 10-year-old impressed the audience enough to land a job as a backup singer for Gladys Knight the next year. She lost to another pint-sized singer who is now not famous, which will be a running theme on this list.
- Christina Aguilera. Yes, before she was a talent show judge or even a Mouseketeer, Aguilera brought the house down performing on Star Searc h - but she still lost, of course.
- Usher. Usher - excuse me, I mean Usher Raymond IV - was already at the peak of his musical power when he competed on the show. Despite holding a 12-second note, the judges still picked his opponent.
- Tatyana Ali. Before she was acting alongside the Fresh Prince himself, Ali was trying to start a singing career. Her take on "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" was great, but the judges weren't feeling it.
