Rachel Crow (Team Simon Cowell) finally showed off her powerful voice with a rendition of “I’d Rather Go Blind” by Beyonce (from “Cadillac Records”) during a night dedicated to the movies at the “The X-Factor” Top 11 live show on Wednesday (November 9)- watch video below.

Rachel picked her own song because Simon Cowell is all about giving artists some space to be creative and make their own song choices while he sits on his couch sipping some wine (… or whatever he does when he is just chilling out!). The song was originally recorded by Etta James in 1978, and re-recorded by Beyonce Knowles for her movie.

L.A. Reid was not sure Rachel was a true contender, but he surrendered to her greatness. Nicole Scherzinger was glad Simon took her advice, before Rachel told her she was the one who picked the song. Oh snap! Paula Abdul just loves her for teaching Simon some humility. Simon claimed Rachel is like a mini-Beyonce.
