Rachel Zevita
Contestant #6008
When we first saw Rachel outside the audition she had rainbow-tinted sunglasses, multi-colored hair band, and pink-and-green braces. In other words, she looked like she had just beaten up Rainbow Brite or Punky Brewster and stolen their clothes.
Rachel first sang a gravely rendition of Jeff Buckley's Eternal Life. The judges heard something they liked but were unhappy with the song choice. She then sang Justin Guarini's Get Here, followed by some opera at Randy's request.
Rachel got a golden ticket and was passed onto Hollywood. Whoever said Rainbow Brite wouldn't make a comeback?
