The young girl has one very sad story with a happy ending – Rachel was born a crack baby, but now thanks to her adoptive parents she couldn’t be happier. Rachel is certainly living the dream. And she is so damn cute!

L.A. Reid was left speechless by Rachel’s sweetness. “I wanted to be critical, but you shut me down,” he said. Nicole Scherzinger’s and Paula Abdul’s verbatim: “You are an inspiration. You’re a bright light. You are an angel. You look adorable.” Simon Cowell was just grateful he had the idea to drop the age down for the competition.
