Rachel Crow's early 'X Factor' elimination was perhaps the biggest shock -- and injustice -- of the season, but not to worry! The 14-year-old super talent has just signed both a record deal with Columbia and a TV contract to star in her very own Nickelodeon show!

"Columbia was awesome for me. This is the top, which is really cool," Crow told MTV. "Beyonce and Adele. And I'm in the same family as them, which is really awesome." The teen promised that her debut album would be "spunky," adding, "It's just gonna be me."

As for the TV show, "We are in the early stages now. We haven't figured out exactly what we will do with the show yet," Rachel confirmed to the New York Post. "I want it to be definitely very 'Rachel.' Something that shows who I am and who I want to be," she insisted.

Of course, Crow was also pursued by several other TV stations, including the rival Disney Channel -- she's one hot commodity! However, Rachel went with Nickelodeon in the end and is also set to appear in five episodes of their newest comedy, 'Fred: The Show.'

Her 'X Factor' mentor Simon Cowell expressed his excitement for Rachel's budding career, saying, "I am incredibly happy for Rachel. This girl has it. We saw her potential at the first audition and Nickelodeon and Columbia are the right homes for her." Crow may have finished in fifth place on the show, but anybody who has watched the girl in action knows she's got more than enough "X factor" for a promising career in this biz. Congrats, Rachel! We can't wait to hear your upcoming CD.
