- 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.
