Sure, Justin Timberlake brought down the house with Chris Stapleton during their big duet at Wednesday night's CMAs, but that's not the first time he's killed it with a televised country performance. Back in 1992, an 11-year-old Justin appeared on Star Search as Justin Randall, his first and middle names, and wowed the crowd when he sang Alan Jackson's "Love's Got a Hold on You." Although he didn't win, he did sweetly shake the hand of his competitor. Host Ed McMahon also wished him luck — which, of course, in hindsight, he probably didn't need. Check out the fun flashback video above, then see the best pictures of JT's big night at the CMAs!
