Crow sang her first song (Faith Hill's "Breathe") at 18 months-old and first performed in public at age six 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 100,000 people who auditioned for season 1 of The X Factor (USA), 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."
Crow auditioned for season 1 of the US The X Factor in Los Angeles, California, in front of Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul, Cheryl Cole, and L.A. Reid. She was the 1st person auditioning in front of the judges. She sang "Mercy" by Duffy and she made it all the way to the live shows. She made it to the top 5, but after the judges' votes were deadlocked, Crow was eliminated by the public. Immediately after the results were revealed, Crow collapsed onstage and cried inconsolably. Nicole Scherzinger, the judge responsible for sending the vote to deadlock, was visibly upset by the result. When Steve Jones asked Scherzinger if she had anything to say, she shook her head and turned away, and she was booed by the audience for taking the vote to deadlock
After being eliminated from The X Factor, Crow met with Disney for possible roles in future Disney productions. She appeared on many TV shows, including BrainSurge, Inside Edition, Figure it Out and The Wendy Williams Show. Right now, she has a role in Fred: The Show as Starr.
Rock With You
Rachel Crow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't turn your back on the sound
Cause I really wanna rock with you boy,
Walking on through the crowd,
Familiar faces I see
But there in a corner
Now what you wanna do?
Are you just gonna stand there?
Are you gonna shake all you guys
Till the morning breaks out
Let it all, let it all ouuut...
[Chorus]
Don't turn your back on my sound
Cause I really wanna rock with you boy,
You better not let me down, yeah
Cause I really wanna dance all night long, yeah
So here we are on the floor
You gotta show me your style
Cause I wanna see you move
And hold you tight
Now I know it's no slow dance
But I'm looking for a chance
So just wake up, shape up, find your girl
And go break up
[Chorus]
Don't turn your back on my sound
Cause I really wanna rock with you boy,
You better not let me down, yeah
Cause I really wanna dance all night long, yeah
[Rap]
Mann!... Can I rap wit'cha, rock wit'cha you?
Can I walk in the building, check the spot with you?
Can I be your man and make you popular
So haters stop with the... hating
I see our future's, clear as binoculars
I'm not mister nice guy
No I'm mister fly guy, slash hipster
My sister, Rachel Crow...
He's as cold as last winter
Drop what you doing right now, and dance with us
Get up, the music will make you do it
First one to the dance floor, don't let me beat you to it girl
Come a little closer, so I can feel the air
But know we ain't supposed to
Hair looks so super duper tight
And as long as the speakers are pumping
And the crowd looks like... jumping
We're gonna glide, we're gonna slide
We'll be dancing together til the morning side
[Chorus]
Don't turn your back on my sound
Cause I really wanna rock with you boy,
You better not let me down, yeah
Cause I really wanna dance all night long.

Don't turn your back on the sound
Don't ignore the music
Cause I really wanna rock with you boy
I want to dance with you
Walking on through the crowd,
Moving through a group of people
Familiar faces I see
Recognizing people around me
But there in a corner
Noticing someone far away
You are busy watching me
You are paying attention to me
Now what you wanna do?
What actions will you take?
Are you just gonna stand there?
Will you be inactive?
Are you gonna shake all you guys
Will you dance with your friends?

Until daylight arrives

Get up and improve yourself, then find your dance partner
And go break up
Separate from your current dance partner

I'm confident and fashionable
My sister, Rachel Crow...

We'll move together gracefully
We'll be dancing together til the morning side
We'll continue dancing until morning
