LMAO LMAO I had to take a break from laughing at your comment, it's so true lol it's like what in the hell do they know about "All at once " LMAO !!!!! It's amazing how Countess sounded singing this song though lol
I don’t know why this makes me sad 😢, this was my era, I remember watching this too, I don’t understand why Countess and Tressa didn’t get further in their career as singers they had pure talent.

Kids theses days are too sensitive to compete like this anymore...they all falling out on stage when they loose...but i do think they need to bring this back!!!
NOW ITS THE "TWERKING" FOR THE TODDLERS AND UP!!!!! SMH SMH SMH AND THE PARENTS THINK ITS CUTE THAT UNDERAGE CHILDREN LISTEN TO CARDI B. AND THAT TRAP MUSIC NEW STYLE!!!!
The executives for the Five Hearbeats movie pushed hard to get Tressa's scene cut out, but Robert Townsend fought for her. Had he not stood up, we wouldn't know how talented she was.
@Slim Pickens There's a documentary called, Making the Five Heartbeats. When you're finished being miserable, you should check it out. He fought for her. Period. 🤷♀️🤷♂️
Tressa Thomas is the girl who sung We Haven't Finished Yet with Robert Townsend in Five Heartbeats. Of course as many have noted Countess Vaughn was on 227 and the Parkers, and now Hollywood Divas. I remember Countess being on this show, and even her singing Usher up under the table on a talk show, and have always been impressed with her voice even as a little girl, but Tressa's deep growl and such mature voice at a young age is just something else. She should have sung a more popular song here rather than one that's based on a slow jazz tempo. Shirley Murdock's My World Came To an End is a classic among the mature black R&B audience, but on these popular talent shows, singing popular songs that the general audience resonates with matters as much as your talent and singing. Whoever was ultimately over her song choice did her a disservice.
There is a baby around 10 years old who sings the soul out of Patti LaBelle's 'If Only You Knew'. Watched an interview and she was mature and self-possessed, but still a little girl. Adorable.
I see what you’re saying. People just always want their kids to be shining then we know what happens from there. The casting couch, drugs, mental issues, etc. let the kids be kids and do what God wills for their life. Then we won’t have all the Whitney’s and Michaels, dead before their time.
OMG these girls sawaaaaang !! was this on planet Earth geese! Now that's singing!!! They both are natural performers. Countess was singing like that, the entertainment business mellowed her out and took away her pizazz! Where's the real Countess Vaughn???
This was too funny. They both sounded amazing - I think Countess was better, but they were both really good. The 2nd girl was too grown singing that Shirley Murdock song. It also cracked me up that once Countess heard she got a perfect score, she shook the other girls hand before it was even official that she won. It could have ended up a tie. LOL....she got excited bless her heart. Too cute.
I remember watching Countess on Star Search.Her fame pays off and hired to be an actress on Marla Gibbs old NBC Comedy 227.Her dream turned reality.A little girl now a middle aged mother of 2 and turned 40 next year.Time flies!!!!
The industry ruined Countess.. she had all that spunk and personality when she was a child, now as an adult she seems so broken 😢 I’m very sad for her.
Two underrated women that really couldve shaken this industry up honey! i KNEW that face looked familiar...frickin' 5 heartbeats! and omg my baby countess
They sing and perform like full grown women and then turn right back into little girls when they're done performing. Remarkable - both of them! What you call "child prodigies."
I'm tripping off these little girls singing theses grown ass songs (lol)
LMAO LMAO I had to take a break from laughing at your comment, it's so true lol it's like what in the hell do they know about "All at once " LMAO !!!!! It's amazing how Countess sounded singing this song though lol
Me2! Lol
you gotta remember those were the songs that were hot during that time..lol. they sang they butts off
I'm laughing too!!! singing love songs.
+pammish11 I sang All the Man I Need in a talent show, lmao.
I don’t know why this makes me sad 😢, this was my era, I remember watching this too, I don’t understand why Countess and Tressa didn’t get further in their career as singers they had pure talent.
Sad to say it was aesthetics. They were cute to me. They were talented but sometimes looks play a big part no matter how people try not to see it.
@@1wmnofpraze Especially during that time, it was all about the video and who looked best in one. Look what happened to Stacy lattisaw.
The "world" like most men look at your outside. Little attention to what you really have to offer. I don't know who Tressa is.

Countess was born hilarious 🤣 omg her personality at this age wow gifted
Five Heartbeats vs. The Parkers. lol
I recognise Kim from Moesha/ The Parkers but dunno the other one that you said
@@PR7-82 tessa? She played ducks younger sister on fiveheart beats.... That's an Iconic movie! Plus she did have a little snippet in the little Richard story singing the new girl in town.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
P R The little girl from the five heartbeats movie. Robert Townsend sister he was singing with while she was cleaning up there room.
😂😂
It's the little girl from the parkers vs the little girl from the five heartbeats
yeees girl epic!!!
The little girl from 227
Ohhhhhhh wow I know who Countess is but I totally didn't realize that was the little girl that played Duck's little sister in the movie. Thanks.
Oh damn! Lol
Really? Wow.
These two had voices of a grown woman!
Tressa kept her strength
Yes I agree
Yes and singing grown folk songs, both could carry them notes 🥰
This show had so many successful acts.
Yes, it really put people on, not fake like today 😒😒
Yes it did!
Countess had some hefty competition with Tressa! Both girls have phenomenal voices!
Yes they do
😑😑😑😑
Countess had a more popular and recognizable song. Better song choice. Both were talented and seemed sweet.
@@katrinab7657 Yes and that's why she won.
Yes!
More than voices they had personality,courage and sportsmanship
She had so much personality!!
@@ImWorthy4Real Did you see her on Hollywood divas? She acted the same way. Like a grown kid. I didn't know if she was acting spoiled or attention seeking but she really seemed like she had psychological issues. It was hard to watch
Yed
And she had a hairline
@@slick4613 😲
So funny hearing 9 year olds sing those two songs.
Yes, like what were the parents thinking, but ok🤦♀️🤷♀️👀🍿☕😒😒
This is Star Search. Not Showtime at the Apollo. 😃🤣
Countess', impersonation of Sandra from 227 was hilarious.
hilarious, I believe that's what helped her earn the role on 227!
It's so sad that Sandra was the one that hurt her as a child by calling her fat. She messed Countess up pretty bad even till this day.
@@rgonzalez1953 Wow. I didn't know that!
@@rgonzalez1953 It wasn't Sandra, it was Pearl.
Countess sent Tressa off before she got her score. That tickled me..... LoL
I always though Tressa sound like A young Shirley Murdock
Me too.
Countess DEFINITELY sounded like her.
Rii
Resemble too
Me too
The both sing like those old women at a black church at choir practice
They heard their mamas singing it😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Neither one could sing!😅😅😅😅
Lol

I'm surprised they didn't have successful singing careers. They both had such strong, beautiful voices.
Countess did, in acting. She ended up having her own sitcom after leaving Moesha.
Really great parents and management to keep the vultures off and abuse them🙏🙏 people of Hollywood or should I say hollyweird
@@glosims28 you're surprised two dark skinned girls, one bigger... both extremely talented didn't have amazing singing careers?
@@Kodak718 That wasn't me that said that, but the author of this comment.
they were successful ////they MASTERED at it a young age
I gagged when Countess Vaughn shook Teressa's hand after she recived her score😂😂😂😂 she was like gurl thanx
ROTFL yo I caught that.
@@theactualtruth4951 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm telling you I fell out lol lol
Lol...she was like thanks for coming
😄RIGHT
Yes lol I fell out as well

@@Queenofsole100 🤣 thank you👍🏾
@@ladyjay7634 🤣😂
And to think Tressa’s part is a staple in that movie.
That’s the best part of the movie
Countess Vaughn was so talented. Miss her on television.
Countess was like “girl you ain’t topping this”
The baby that sings better than adults!💓🙏🏼 Countess Vaughn!
It’s funny how countess said her favorite show was a show she ended up playing in!
Did she? I missed that
That was a plug 🤣👀🍿☕,
She got the role because of this
They both won! 👸🏽 👸🏽
My girl Countess did her thang, no shade, but Tressa put that soul in that song as she did in ''Five Heartbeats''!!
should have been a tie. both did amazing
these girls sound amazing!! They had so much courage to go on this show at such a young age
lmfao! I love how she knows she has the perfect score and shake her opponent's hand before it's over
gotta love my gurl count till this day!
Yes!
My homie from belltown, just effortless.
Always and Forever ❤
lol at 3:52 countess was doing that eeww thing before the parkers lol
Right here she was mocking Sandra from 227
I loved Tressa in The five heartbeats..she sung her ass off. Singing, "No matter Howe hard I try"
countess was amazing. they were so adorable.
Countess Vaughn is a Phenomanal Talent
they both gave me chills they can sing!!!!
Her voice was far ahead of her. Amazing how mature she sounds! Just beautiful!
I love how fast Countess shook her hand after getting her rating. Like "You tried, sis. Better luck next time." 😂😂😂
Right! 😂🤣😂🤣
Tessa Thomas played Robert Townsend ' little sister in THE 5 HEARTBEATS.
Nah... It was Tressa Thomas... :D
That is her
I knew she looked familiar that surely was her in The 5heartbeats
I love that song she did in that move
Oh wow! I didn't know that. Thanks!
Both girls were wonderful.
It's the little girl from the parkers vs the little girl from the five heartbeats.
Both beautiful. Both extremely talented. Both winners! Go girls!
Yeah, both of them were amazing....But Countess deserved that win, she went off.

+Yobachi2007 dont forget Moesha
You are so right. Among us that song was everything. But it wasn't a crossover song.
man talk.about talent they both sung they littls faces off cant find no 9 year old.to.sing like that now
I know right
Lies.. you see more talent like this now than back then
@@checkmychedda1866 yeah right..
There is a baby around 10 years old who sings the soul out of Patti LaBelle's 'If Only You Knew'. Watched an interview and she was mature and self-possessed, but still a little girl. Adorable.
My niece can sing her ass off!!!
That outfit is giving me my life! LOL WHAT THE HELL!!!
this warmed my heart to see her sing I've always loved her !!! Countess Is a Legend
They definitely have some beautiful voices they sang the hell out both those songs Whew chile
Cant get singing like that anymore! Countess still moves the same way when she sings! Too cute!
She was a Star Search Queen!
"Wow" Pure natural singing with no "AUTO TUNE"!! I love Countess Vaughn even until this day!😍
Tressa had stage presence and a great voice!
These songs were not meant for children's voices. This is why their pitch was slightly under.
So true, but the little sista's still sound great
Thanks for the reminder
EXACTLY! ZACHARY
I see what you’re saying. People just always want their kids to be shining then we know what happens from there. The casting couch, drugs, mental issues, etc. let the kids be kids and do what God wills for their life. Then we won’t have all the Whitney’s and Michaels, dead before their time.
It's very noticeable
I Cant Get Enough Of This Clip
Beautiful than.... Beautiful now.... Talented then.... Talented now....
Some SANGIN' girls!!!! Gave me chills. To me, they both won.
She did way better than i can ever do! bOth of them!
Damn...but these girl can sang!
I love that Countess said she likes to watch 227 on tv and then after winning Star Search she went on to be on 227 😍
OMG these girls sawaaaaang !!
was this on planet Earth geese! Now that's singing!!! They both are natural performers.
Countess was singing like that, the entertainment business mellowed her out and took away her pizazz! Where's the real Countess Vaughn???
That was always my favorite part of star search, the kids competition, lol!
I'm at awe at the songs that these little girls were allow to sing in a competition back in the day!😳🤦🏽♀️
@3:51 a little of that Nikki Parker came out lol
It's kim parker.
She was imitating "Sandra Clark" from 227.
~Queen~
I always love her voice even now she still got it.
She had such a beautiful voice even as a young girl!
She said she only liked 227. SANDRAAA LOL. THE 80S WERE THE BOMB
Yea, i miss those days
Yes the 80s was.........I wish I could go back.
Still sounds better than the music we have out now
Wow, they were both magical. True talent🇿🇦❤️🤪🙏💋An oldie but a goodie😘
Wow!!! Wow!!! These little ladies.
I used to watch this show all the time as a kid..awww
COUNTESS CAN REALLY SING WOW !!!!
Countess Vaughn had the exact hairstyle that i had in the 80's😎
227
I use to love watching star search ( Ed McMahon host).
🙂 this was recommended 2me after all these years. Countess was so cute
I used to love watching this.Good ole days.

I met Tressa and her mother yrs ago at an event in Chicago a few yrs after 5 heartbeats she was amazingly lovely young woman.
Oh gosh I remember this song “All at Once” 😭
Bless her little heart here
lol.. are you being facetious?
kel m no not at all
danny c oh ok, your just a sweetheart. Sorry to bother you.
I do remember,I use to watch the show, Countess is an amazing actress.❤
Aw man this was a epic show when I was a kid. Im in nostalgia heaven 👀🍿☕😷
@Slim Pickens This is an episode of Star Search, NOT 227🤦♀️🤦♀️🤷♀️🤡🤛

Two underrated women that really couldve shaken this industry up honey! i KNEW that face looked familiar...frickin' 5 heartbeats! and omg my baby countess
They so grown tho. I love 💕
Beautiful Countess 💝👏
What talent! Just wish they weren't singing such grown songs. ☺
One is in the parkers and the other is in the five heartbeats 💜
Countess was a cute little girl and cute during early Parker episodes .
This use to be my show back in the day. You Go Girl COUNTESS VAUGHN. BOTH DID GOOD THOUGH
Memories. Wow!!!! So much talent and personality. Back when pretty much every R&B singer could sing their butt off. And these girls are amazing.
When Tressa hit that “no n-na-na- na no no” I wanted to throw my shoe at her! Lol
It was real talent back then u had too really show your skills an gifts
I'm old I Remember this 🤤
Priceless memories
They sing and perform like full grown women and then turn right back into little girls when they're done performing. Remarkable - both of them! What you call "child prodigies."
I remember watching this as a youngin'...
I was hoping Tressa would bust out with “some people run at the first sight of stormy wea-ea-rather, some people hold on....”
Yesss
Lmfao me too!
🤣
Uuuhhh, countess would have had ZERO CHANCE, had that occurred! Lol
@@QueenBthatsMe777 Right!!! 🤣 she would have sat her down. And that’s on periodt pooh
I remember this episode when it originally aired lol. Time sure does fly.
