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.

It's Christmas time! Are you ready?
Let's have some fun!
Santa Claus is coming to town!
Santa Claus is coming to town
You better watch out,
You better not cry,
You better not pout,
Santa Claus is coming to town!
Santa Claus is coming to town!
Santa Claus is coming to town!
He's making a list,
He's checking it twice,
He's gonna find out
Who's naughty or nice.
Santa Claus is coming to town!
Santa Claus is coming to town!
Santa Claus is coming to town!
He sees you when you're sleeping,
He knows when you're awake.
He knows when you've been bad or good,
So be good for goodness sake!
So... You better watch out,
You better not cry
You better not pout,
I'm telling you why.
Santa Claus is coming to town!
Santa Claus is coming to town!
Santa Claus is coming to town!
Little tin horns,
Little toy drums.
Rudy-toot-toot
And rummy tum tums.
Little toy dolls
That cuddle and coo,
Elephants, boats
And Kiddie cars too!
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town!
Santa Claus is coming to town!
Santa Claus is comin'
Santa Claus is comin'
Santa Claus is comin'
