Underage singing sensations who have made it big

by **Don** » Mon Dec 22, 2008 11:53 am

Since everyone is throwing praises at the litle Charice chick, I decided to look for other singers who made it big in their early teens.

Stacey Lattisaw, around 13 or 14 years old. At the top of the charts, disappeared from the top 40 once she got older.

Here she is at 16

Stacey Lattisaw, beautiful voice. I just went on YouTube and listened to her later music, a song Tender Love from her 1989 album. It has a real Motown sound, which I love, so I'm going to get it. Thanks. I've never heard of her.

Charlotte is outstanding, I'd like to see her do a tour with Celtic Woman.

I notice she does like chloe and keeps her hands holding her sides, which I guess is some kind of singing technic.

I've always loved her voice. Effortless. And what I can't understand is why as she's gotten older she doesn't have the hits like the other singers her age. I've heard her. Her voice is still fantastic.

Why do you people do this to me? I can't believe no one has mentioned Christina Aguilera. Now I have to be the one to sacrifice my man card and do it. Here she is on Star Search at age 8:

I dont have links, but Little Stevie Wonder has to be one of the most enduring.
