"Star Search" Legends
We never thought it was possible for someone to look older at 12 than at 18, but David Archuleta is like a real-life Benjamin Button. When he appeared on "Star Search" as a preteen in 2003, he looked like a little old man. Now he looks more like his youthful age. Archuleta won the show's coveted Junior Vocal Champion prize, with judge Naomi Judd calling him a "Wayne Newton Mini-Me" and Ben Stein offering, "I can't believe how much soul came out of this little teeny loaf of Wonder Bread."
Four years later, he passed an audition for "American Idol's" seventh season and came in second behind David Cook, with 44 percent of the 97 million votes. His fans, lovingly called the Archies, have since bought more than 700,000 copies of his album "Crush" (which debuted at #2 on the "Billboard" 200 chart). Archuleta has toured the U.S., the U.K., and the Philippines (with David Cook) and has been nominated for three Teen Choice awards. He made his acting debut on Nickelodeon's "iCarly" and performed a duet with Miley Cyrus on "Hannah Montana." Watch for two new releases from him this fall: his sophomore pop CD and a Christmas record.

She should never be allowed to have any custody of their daughter because the daughter will only get bounced back to Jesse and Sandra the next time she decides to mess with the IRS. Even a genius will testify that that is not very smart ... forget being a genious. It ain't nice ta mess wit da IRS!!'Nuff said!"

I think it is so sad that Beth Hart isn't No.1 recognized for being the 100K winner os star search, she was then and now the most beautiful singer star search has produced.. Better then all of female singers on this list.
Luv ya Beth
