While The X Factor contestants continue to battle it out for the $5 million grand prize, some of the finalists are already being inundated with outside offers, and RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned that one of these is Rachel Crow, who was born to a crack addict and was a crack baby herself.
Disney execs have said they are desperate to sign up the 13-year-old singing sensation in the hopes she’ll follow in the footsteps of Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, and Christina Aguilera.
A source on the show told RadarOnline.com: "Disney have been contacting Rachel’s reps a lot, and they have big ideas or her. She's auditioned for them a few times before The X Factor and now that they see her in ‘Factor’ and how talented she is, they want a piece of that."
Rachel’s story has touched countless viewers of The X Factor. After being taken away from her crack addict mother, she was placed as a foster child with a family when she was just six months old and adopted by them a year later.
The X Factor returns with a two-hour live special Tuesday at 8/7c on Fox with the top 9 finalists performing in a "Giving Thanks"-themed show.
