Rachel Crow

Rachel Crow has one of the most inspirational stories on this season of 'X Factor,' and her performance tonight was one of the best on the competition yet.

Simon Cowell is borderline giddy about his 'X Factor' team member Rachel Crow. The often cantankerous judge raved about the 13 year old before, during and after her performance of the Rolling Stones' hit '(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction' during Rock Night on Wednesday's show.

Rachel Crow, who is only 13 years old, picked a song this week on 'X Factor' that truly depicted the amazing maturity of her voice. She took on legendary blues singer Etta James and her hit 'I'd Rather Go Blind,' wowing everyone in the building.

Despite being one of the youngest remaining contestants on 'X Factor,' Rachel Crow may have the most interesting history -- and could be one of the most mature to boot. The New York Post reports that the budding star was born into a drug addled, abusive household before being adopted.

Rachel Crow sang an altered version of Katrina and the Waves' '80s hit 'Walking on Sunshine' on tonight's Top 12 edition of 'X Factor,' impressing all four of the show's judges.

Rachel Crow -- the adorable teen who has been an early 'X Factor' fave since she first opened her mouth and her soulful voice filled the room -- is as likeable as she is talented. Her mentor Simon Cowell even said the he went with what he knows America wants when he sent the little cherub through to the next round of heated competition this Tuesday.

Rachel Crow is cute, talented and gutsy. She's a mini superstar. She's also an 'X Factor' fan favorite.

You would never think Simon Cowell would have the problem of liking people too much. But that's precisely what he said at the beginning of tonight's 'X Factor.' Cowell, who had the charge of choosing four girls to move onto the next round, may have had the most talented pool of contestants on the show.

Rachel Crow proved looks can be deceiving on Thursday's episode of 'X Factor.' The 14-year-old ray of sunshine found an adult lifetime's worth of pain for her performance of Beyonce's 'If I Were a Boy.' It was enough to make judge Nicole Scherzinger tear up.

The sixth group that was given the chance to sing its heart out on tonight's episode of 'X Factor' was tasked with belting out Whitney Houston's 'I Have Nothing.' Uh, could they have chosen a harder song for this batch of hopefuls or what? Nevertheless, it was do or die time.
