Rachel dedicated her performance this week to her adopted family. Her mother and father reveal that Rachel was born addicted to crack, as her mother was a drug user. However, the family is incredibly close and happy now.

Rachel performs Yolanda Adams’ ‘I Believe’ and as usual wowed with her performance. She seems so much older than her 13 years and continues to grow every week.

Nicole Scherzinger: You’ve made a believer out of me. You are such a bright light.

Paula Abdul: You are an angel.
