The X Factor: Rachel Crow Breaks Down | Video

On Thursday night there was a big surprise. Rachel Crow was eliminated! She did not get a chance to make it to the Semi-Finals. She was sent home! Nicole Scherzinger, one of the Judges, could have prevented this catastrophe by sending Marcus Canty home. Instead, Nicole allowed it to go into "Deadlock" leaving Rachel's fate up to viewer votes. Of course, Scherzinger, along with others, felt that Rachel Crow would remain in the competition. It was inconceivable that this 13-year-old super talent did not have the majority of viewer votes. Unfortunately, that was not the case.

Watch the 3rd video below if you want to see what happened. It was downright heart breaking! Young Rachel Crow displayed such maturity during the competition. However, after hearing the news that she would be going home, she just could not keep her composure. Then and only then did we all come back to reality that Rachel Crow is only a 13-year-old girl newly exposed to this type of competition. Her response will improve after having more exposure to high level competition in the future.

But... not to worry about this soon-to-be-superstar. According to TMZ, Disney is calling and anxious to meet with Rachel Crow before the end of the month. So, we will hear from Miss Crow in the very near future. Her talent and bubbly personality must be showcased and allowed to shine for all to see. We will all benefit from the entertainment value of "Little Miss Rachel Crow!"
