Beyonce Was Already a Star at Age 10 (Photos)

Beyonce has been in the limelight since Destiny Child's broke big in 1999 when she was just 17 years old. But any member of the BeyHive knows she was a star in the making for nearly a decade before that.

Ted Owen & Co is auctioning off two-and-a-half hours of footage featuring the pop star when she was just 10 years old and rocking out with hip-hop group Girl's Tyme. The previously unreleased, unedited video spans 12 tapes dating from 1992, and is expecting to bring in upward of $3.8 million, according to Ted Owen & Co's site.

Beyonce directly references this period of her career in a song on her self-titled album; "Flawless" opens and closes with a Star Search performance by Girl's Tyme. They ended up losing, earning three stars out of four in the 1993 contest.
