13-year-old Rachel Crow stunned everyone with her powerful rendition of Beyoncé’s “If I Were A Boy” on The X Factor USA. Despite her shy demeanor and youthful appearance, her rich, soulful voice left the room in awe. Nervous before her performance, she surprised Simon Cowell with a cheeky response about her song choice, and delivered an extraordinary vocal performance that showcased emotional depth and perfect control.
Her performance went viral, earning over 40 million views and becoming one of the most iconic moments in the show’s history. Fans praised her maturity and emotional delivery, despite her young age. Rachel had already impressed with her audition performance of Duffy’s “Mercy,” and though she was eliminated in the quarterfinals, she quickly signed with Columbia Records, released a top-20 EP, and began acting with Nickelodeon.
Rachel’s career has continued to flourish, and her voice and star power have only grown stronger since The X Factor.
