A look back on the original "American Idol" ..the show "Star Search".

I am a big fan of American Idol and have been since season two. Yet long before this successful show there was another "talent" show called "Star Search". Star Search is a show that was produced from 1983 to 1995, hosted by Ed McMahon. i thought it would be fun to take a look back at some of the folks who got their start on "Star Search", you might be surprised , I know I was when looking back on the show. Everyday I will highlight a few then and now ...so let the journey begin.

Justin Timberlake, 1992


In 1992 an 11-year-old boy from Shelby Forest, Tennessee, stepped onto the "Star Search" stage wearing an oversized belt buckle, a cowboy-hat-and-boots ensemble, and a really, really tacky shirt. On top of that, Justin Randall sang the age-inappropriate Alan Jackson hit "Love's Got a Hold on You."


He has come along way since that time...Stay tuned for other singers that got their start on "Star Search".
