The X Factor: Rachel Crow, 13, Breaks Down Crying After Elimination
Posted on Dec 09, 2011 @ 10:00AM
Thirteen-year-old Rachel Crow was extremely emotional following her elimination on Thursday's edition of The X Factor.
Crow, who landed in the bottom two with Marcus Canty, could have been saved by judge Nicole Scherzinger, though the ex-Pussycat Doll deferred the vote to viewers, with the person with the lowest vote total going home.
After Crow's elimination was announced, the young girl was devastated by the defeat, falling to the ground and crying hysterically to her mother, who jumped onto the stage to console her. Soon, judges Simon Cowell and Scherzinger rushed onstage to try and calm things down.

When she regained her composure, Crow told the crowd, "I just love you so much, everybody, for voting for me, even though you didn't, and thank you for giving me this because without you I am nothing.
"I hope this is not my ending, you know what, I know it's not."
Cowell then took the mic, and told the crowd Crow "went out on the highest she could have gone out on," predicting "we're going to be hearing a lot more about Rachel Crow."

Josh Krajcik, Melanie Amaro, Chris Rene, and Canty remain in the running when The X Factor returns on Fox next Wednesday at 8/7c.

I agree with most of the comments on this thread. She is NOT that good, all that over-praising inflated her ego way too high and that's why the age limit should be 18 on these shows. TOO much drama. She's very immature and it showed.

She threw herself on the floor and pitched a fit. At 13 she is too old to act that way. That is how a 4 year old acts. She probably thought if she threw a fit they would change the vote. America voted her out...nuff said.

The girl is amazing.. way too much pressure (and a VERY typical and obvious reaction) for a very young girl. She was the best on the show. No idea wtf they were thinking

I watched the episode last and Nicole is a freaking idiot. If she doens't have the balls to choose than she
shouldn't be on the show. Rachel sang really well, the guy, not at all. She's 13, she has every right to cry.

Rachael is a great example as to why there should be an age limit on these shows. Throwing yourself down on the stage and wailing is something a toddler might do when angry/frustrated. Cute & talented girl but way too young for all that pressure.

Saw this meltdown on one of the morning shows & laughed my butt off!! I only felt bad for her when she was telling her mom "you promised" since her mom probably did & that's just not right.

The brat isn't that good. She deserved to be sent home. Now if only her parents would start disciplining her.

I was kinda rooting for Rachel, but this meltdown shows she's not ready for fame. She's got too much growing up she needs to do first. That tantrum was something you see from 3 year olds.
