The Television Show LeAnn Rimes Was On As A Child

LeAnn Rimes got her first taste of fame on Star Search. She first appeared on the classic show in 1990 at the age of 8, Taste of Country reported. Much like Beyoncé, Justin Timberlake, and Christina Aguilera, future Grammy winner Rimes was thrust into the spotlight at an early age on the iconic show. She came dressed like a mini country star with a fluffy hairdo (so early '90s) and a ruffled skirt in hues of red, blue, and purple. 

At the time she competed on the show, Rimes was already a trained singer, having made her stage debut in a Dallas musical production of A Christmas Carol, as noted by The Chicago Tribune. So it wasn't too much of a surprise to those who knew her when the elementary school student hit the Star Search stage and belted out a powerful and standout version of the country classic "Don't Worry 'Bout Me". She sent 11-year-old Levi Garrett home and earned an impressive 3.75 stars from the judges. And the rest is history!
