Long before American Idol, America's Got Talent, The Voice and the like. These two long-running syndicated weekend juggernauts of the 80's we're much beloved with music and comedic acts that we're good (and not so good) and had some of the best dramatically epic theme songs that will never be duplicated in a million years but even though both series have been retire from the small screen since then and have been remade (and have failed while doing so) we have never forgotten their original origins in our minds but which of these two giant variety/talent competition shows did you like better...

Star Search or It's Showtime at the Apollo?

vote, discuss and cherish the memories with us my friend.

The Original Star Search, The Spokemodel competition was the best one out of all competitions in my personal view. I know 1 YouTube user(Yarnel) have primarily posted videos of Model Competitions on the original Star Search.
