Watch the new “Mean Girls” music video from X Factor alum, Rachel Crow. The new tune was co-written by Rachel and Toby Gad (If I Were a Boy, Big Girls Don’t Cry) and chronicles experiences the young singer had growing up in a small Colorado town.

“It was the looks and the being called ‘weirdo’ and ‘freak.’ Rachel explained in a recent interview with AOL Music, “Me and my one friend would stick together and just brush it off, but of course there were times when I would come home crying to my mom and saying, ‘They called me this!’ And she would just say, ‘Oh they’re just jealous!.”

“But I was different in every possible way in school,” Rachel added, “I was loud and outgoing and had curly hair and they were just kind of like, ‘What is going on right now? What is this creature?’ I was just being myself and my parents taught me to always be myself and never think you have to be different than who you are. That was what made me confident to try out for X Factor.”

“Mean Girls” is the lead single off of  Rachel’s new 5 song EP.

    This video made me like the song more it was good. Oh so seeing comments about the beauty mark seems like it wasn’t there before I wasn’t sure. Rachel struck me as older than she actually is in the video though she’s only 14 right. It’s no knock on her b/c her clothes are age appropriate just an observation.

    oh one more thing I’ve got young niece and nephew so I know Rachel was a celebrity guest on a Nickelodeon show called Figure it out where the panel gets slimed while trying to guess a kids talent.

    Anywho, her voice is very powerful she should always show it off. I hope everything continues to go well w/ her she seems super sweet.

    This song is aimed strictly for the teen and preteen set. You won’t hear this on grown up radio but I bet it will play well on radio Disney and the like. I think she is being handled so well. As for Melanie, they promo the winner during the Xfactor season. I’m not worried the Xfactor will become the voice and not promote its winner.

    Actually, yes having your own TV show does make you a star. Her credit is STAR for that show.

    Katherine McPhee has a starring role in ‘Smash’ also. Again, is a star.

    Like Rachel’s song.  Nice choice of song (impressed she helped write it, although I always wonder how much help the singer really gave in these situations) and the video suits it well.
