yes, she has a beautiful voice she was on star search when she was 9 singing against Countess Vaughn who was also 9.

Go ahead girl. Black folks will own something when given the chance. Black Girls ROCK!!!!

[@covertLLC]

Robert Townsend made such a big deal over her, he really tried to promote her but it never really took. I wish she would've blown up like she should've, she certainly had the talent and the connections. Sometimes even being in the right circles and knowing the right people doesn't put you where you should be...

[@leighanneedminson9258]

She was amazing

[@90skidineffect88]

What do you mean by that ?

[@AmericanFYEChief]

​@@90skidineffect88 what he means by that is whether she was a kid or an adult... Because she wasn't light-skinned enough. Colorism affects children too.

What’s your definition of making it big. She may have a different definition of making it big for herself.

Everybody who can sing doesn’t belong on the radio, Broadway is an option

[@CLarcholey]

​@@zipporahwynn2305 Did she do Broadway? Anyway I get your point lol. I think she's done more film work and cruise line tours than Broadway. She's phenomonal.

AMAZING PERFORMANCE!....But I can't help but notice her brother looks smack like rick james 😂

Actually Her First National TV APPEARANCE WAS AGAINST COUNTESS VAUNGH ON STAR SEARCH . JUST SAW THAT VIDEO THE OTHER DAY . I KNEW SHE LOOKED AND SOUNDED FAMILAR!

Here I am listening to this performance in 2021 and crying! Beautiful voice, heartfelt emotion!

[@510t-mac]

Wooow!!! So for reason I was looking 👀 for this song? And I listen 👂🏽 to the original and was like ok it’s cool but it needs to give me that thang? So I went looking 👀 and seen some well known artists and was like maybe? But then I seen the pic and I said I’ll give her a shot. I AM HAPPY I LISTENED TO MY HEART ❤️ SHE CAN SANG

[@kayjaykayjay1869]

I remember seeing this and balling like a baby I was maybe 12 I’m 42 wow! And I’m balling now! ❤️🥺

[@Triple-Threat_Virgo91]

It’s 2020 and this song came on my playlist . Never heard it of this young lady before . But despite they were acting / singer you can see the young man playing her brother was so memorized but her voice and emotions. He felt the words she was singing. I thought he was about to cry . Wow !

[@jahneece31]

At 5:42 in the video, you can see the wetness under his eyes

[@keeshonanderson6046]

Hold up... so you're saying you never seen the 5 Heartbeats???

[@DaLane4real]

I remember this episode like it was yesterday, Wow I really enjoyed The Robert Townsend never missed an episode. Uhm then they cancelled it.

[@PJBest1]

I remember Tressa waaay back in the day when she was a 9 year old contestant on Star Search. She was up against Countess Vaughn (who was also 9 years old at the time). Both were a force to be reckoned with and a great talent in their own right...and to be so young! This was a very touching story line, great acting and a very powerful musical delivery. Tressa's voice is as amazing as ever. I'm very grateful to hear more from Tressa. Thanks to any and everyone who made this video possible.
