Rachel Crow is an American singer, actress and comedian from Mead, Colorado. Crow participated in the first season of the U.S. version of "The X Factor" in 2011 and she finished in 5th place overall.

After being eliminated from "The X Factor," Crow met with Disney for possible roles in future Disney productions.

Crow sang her first song (Faith Hill's "Breathe") at 18 months-old and first performed in public at age 6 as part of her school's talent show. Her parents brought her to Los Angeles in 2010 to support her dream of being a performer, and she auditioned at age 13 for "The X Factor" in early 2011. After being chosen as a contestant out of over 150,000 people who auditioned for season 1, she wowed audiences with her powerful voice and bubbly personality and placed fifth in the competition for the season. A fan favorite and darling among the judges, L.A. Reid deemed her a "funky, feisty singer with soul" with Simon Cowell declaring that audiences would be "hearing a lot more about her."
