Star Search 1988 Countess Vaughn

[rachaltheradical]

i knew she kud sing but dang i wasnt expecting that! i miss her

[HYJONES83]

what a powerful voice for a little girl...

[nickelwindow53]

the media didnt sign her because she is chubby!....The media is sad.

[IndiBoo002]

aww look at her lil chubby self swinging along with all that attitude! lol

[ccizaten]

she was the cutiest

[talarria1000]

omg se can sing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tauceti52]

unbelievable



[Jeffrizel1986]

No too many people know that she was on 227 after this and that she actually dropped an album in 1993.. I think her heart was more into music but sadly she's more known for her acting more than her singing.

[Woozyb123]

Dang, dat note at 2:28-2:30 sounded like a fully grown...grown up! lol

[OJLuscious]

Wow, she is good! the dance act was amazing !

[seannettmd]

[Kwanfu74]

She was on the show 227 after this. Yall remember that?

[Tink2127]

@Kwanfu74 I do! She sang "Home" at a talent show :)

[lesteralive07]

@Kwanfu74 yes

[lenzino7383]

Damn, that crowd was already blown away by the first note!! How Countess never became successful as a recording artist with all that vocal power and stage presence at such a young age, I'm SHOCK!! O_0

[chunl333]

voice is incredible from young thats why her voie is so good now

she can really belt out for such a young girl,

it made the hairs on ma arm stand up

[Enzzo526]

HOW MUCH U WANNA BET THAT BOY DANCIN IS GAY NOW

[darknluv]

[Mj4Eternity58]

Aww So Adorable She's Singing Mike's Song!!!

[YouGotMeJuicy]

My goodness she has a STRONG voice for a little girl!

[jnyerere]

WOW...how the hell is she not a recording artist? why acting instead of singing?

[ninetiesbaby10]

@jnyerere She released an album in 93 but it didnt do too well so when Moesha came up in 96 she continued with acting

[lorrainnidaho]

Holy cow she's fantastic!!!!

[THEKIMYKOTOKYOSHOW]

Wow, I miss the good ole days of Star Search!!! =)

[eashaflakes]

The girl has some serious pipes!

[chadthaeclipse]

[Gioblu]

@chadthaeclipse RIGHT!

[destined4directn]

@chadthaeclipse countess vaughn did have songs out YEARS AGO lol....but she def needs something out now, but i believe she's a mother so...

[mickaela5]

awwww look at lil kim parker! lmbooo

[datmixedkid2396]

its funny and really cool how alot of the kid singers that were on star search back then became so successful in the future

i think star search may have been the best (or one of the best) talent shows ever on TV

[datmixedkid2396]

O...M...G... this is classic!!!!

omg wow this is so cute and her voice was so powerful for a lil girl awww i love it :)

[atkinsgina]

[tweetylns]

[jaejae35]

Why did she choose acting over singing?

[krazykix91]

[getemV]

you better go head....thats talent right there...forget the parkers ..u should went into recording

[Queenweezy1]

awwww

[taraty101]

Those little dancing children were awesome though and everyone was so in-sync with one another

[JaeDizzley1995]

Countess Vaughn looks like cute little girl on Star Search awww :)

This looks like this was taped back on September 22, 1988 (I'm just guessing)

[afrosensuous]

Excellent singing for her age. And they had BETTER give her the prize.

[d0nk3yb0i]

@jay86able u couldnt have said it better

[d0nk3yb0i]

[deglover25]

I remember here when shw was on 227 for a season.

[kmld33]

lol. look at her moves. She was too cute. lookin' like a little woman.

[amoney1226]

I can't believe this is "Kim" from the Parkers! She was great on here, and she was hilarious, as well as a great singer on the show. :)

[SmexiiStevie]

how come the only star search people i've known are christina aguilera, justin timberlake, and britney spears? i've never even heard of the other singers, even the ones who've won.

[amindr]

@SmexiiStevie destiny's child competeted and came in second

[roniquelewis]

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ilovemelaniefiona]

DAMN KIMMY!! She could blow even at 9! I knew from Moesha and The Parkers she def could sang, I just wish she would've done a little more. I love The Parkers that's my favorite show ever

[danidanidanig]

Check her out!! She had so much sass then and nothing's changed! ;] So cute!

[freshstef2k7]

how could you sound that great at 9

[mainegabrielle]

I bet that was a HARD decision to make because they were all FANTASTIC. Those dancers really blew my mind! And Countess was great as always!!!

[satanknight14]

that lil boy must be the biggest queen by now

[itsJOYtime]

YET MOESHA GOT THE RECORD DEAL??????? FUNNY HUH! lol

[AkaTinaSmith96]

@itsJOYtime She Didnt Want It !!

[ninetiesbaby10]

@itsJOYtime #1) Brandy is an exceptional singer

#2) COuntess also got a record deal, she just wasnt successful as a singer

[drexalexander]

@itsJOYtime Brandy can sing too. It's just they are both very very talented.

[SoulMuzikify]

@itsJOYtime Umm...Brandi is a BEAST. Dnt do her. Maybe u should listen to her live. Both of them need to be signed.

[HearWithoutPrejudice]

@itsJOYtime was she not to have got it? They both are really talented?

[deceptive187]

whats the name of this song and who sings it

[holywomen]

@deceptive187 Jackson five "I'll be there".

[deceptive187]

[endlesslesboz]

Americas apple pie? they should have entered into a dancing contest, lol the boy stands out the most

[mrbankz]

[sansaviera]

She was so cute, and what a voice!

[shasta35]

She was always dramatic, I love Kim.

[sandroeleven]

I wonder how much prize money they got.

[darbykat]

It was 10 or 20 thousand. I can't remember.

[jodem7]

@darbykat are you serious? did you not pay attention at all? i hope this was sarcasm haha...the guy clearly stated they won 10 thousand and the winner of this round would get another 10 thousand, equaling 20 thousand dollars.

[goingpostal9933]

First performance: Great dancing. I just wish they'd chosen a different song. The two don't compliment each other well. Second performance: Fantastic.

[AdorzAaliyahSince94]

oh wow, I haven't seen this in ages, actually, it was 88 when we last saw it...remembers why she won. that show was pure talent and no show can compare til this day! thanx for uploading!

[ColtraneAndRain]
