  • Great voice.... love this girl

    She looks so Happy :)

  • Great voice.... love this girl

    

  • great voice love it.

  • Best season!!!!! Love her!!!

  • help get brooke to come play at Aarizona's Powellapalooza!

  • Great song, Brooke did awsome!!

  • omg she looks more like 44 than 24 its the perm

  • For Brooke it was never about amazing vocal ability, it was about the amount of herself that she puts into her songs. Brooke is a true singer/songwriter artiste.

  • @dmp1549

    I have thought this word for word. Its the tip of a deeper ideology. She is able to impart and instill onto her listeners emotion and presense. But her weakness is us. For the vast majority of us has long since lost the key to the doors that let things in. That key is honest introspection.

  • wen i heard this i knew i was gonna love this performance

  • holy jeez she's from mesa! thats where i live!

  • Hmm... Not a fan of some of the diphthongs but not terrible. She actually looks a little like Carly Simon.

  • This is the performance that made me a fan of hers!!

  • she was kinda flat in a couple places. i liked it though but I think Simon was easy on her because he was so happy that the song was about him.

  • Carly would be proud of her... ;)

  • @whataname01 Carly Actually called her on TV and said she loved the performance What a classy lady with a load of great music in her long career. Wore out a few of her records.

  • I don't get it, I don't know this chick,

    yet she's singin' a song about me..

  • @ronaldsneek

    Lmao!!!!!

  • i loooooove this songg

  • I thought at :09 she almost said "I started doing heroin when I was 11." That would've been way way wrong.

  • best season of american idol ever.

  • Yeah it was one of the most talented seasons ever! Brooke is just amazing and I miss her so much! I miss her sweetness, her heart, her voice all of it! She actually reminds me of Carly Simon so this is a good pick for her.

  • this was my favorite season and i went and saw them on the tour...so freakin cool!!!

  • miss this season...

  • this was the best season!

  • wow, yes, Brooke your wonderful, you go girl.

  • how come the guitar still plays even when she isn't strumming it?

  • @ontherun558 She wasn't the only one playing the guitar. There were other musicians playing with her.

  • best season. American idol, now, SUCKS! paula left i mean what the heck

  • Classic!

  • please brooke come to europe....

  • i wish she was more famous :)

  • I think season 7 is the best season. WHY? Because all contestants have great personality.

  • I think the better performances for the contestants of this season came before top 12... they have more freedom to choose the songs that could define their artistry... Brooke is definitely an artist that season, but she got kinda lost on the big stage and failed to remain true to her music. But david cook has passed the test, and remained a rocker all throughout... that's why he won...

  • she kinda looks like Carly Simon.. but a much much prettier version!

  • woah, first time i heard "started doing heroin when i was, like, 11 years old"

  • Didi Benami reminded me of her! love them both

  • @alex370 agreee. i love brooke and didi:)

  • @alex370 omg, she looks a LOT like Didi... er, her and didi look a lot alike.

  • Probably her best, but they were all excellent!!!

  • @LLL417 I also hate how they make this awesome song about the judges. Come on judges, focus on how good she did and not how great you think you are.

  • AWESOME!!!! Great job!

  • i love it. It's so good. She's sooo GOOD!!!

  • one of my favorite american idol contestants EVER.

  • @sabvilla

    How is she doing with her music career anyway?

  • besides doing a knockout performance of this song, it's really ironic that Brooke also has those classic Carly mouth and lips!

  • Be fair, this is a singing contest not a composition one, and Carly Simon actually has said that Brooke White sang the song better than her.

  • Wow, she sounds really good singing this song! I really like it!!

  • too bad she didn't win :(

  • It took guts to even try to tackle this song and she pulled it off.

  • This was one of the most talented seasons ever. Brooke was completely uniqu, I love her style.

  • @raulalalarcon you forgot the e....and I agree...it was really the only season that I really really enoyed....Brooke was awesome

  • @theenigmajjames you forgot the j.... i love brooke too... she's amazing

  • @bdk2smkas he he .....touche' ....

  • @raulalalarcon Loved Brooke White too! :)

  • if u mean vocals no

    looks kind of

  • @jadorejuicy14 i agree,

  • @codeblue2187 All respect to Taylor, but I think Brooke has much more talent.

  • @itscaitlinx3 i agree

  • @itscaitlinx3 I completely agree! Brooke should have won!! Voting on that show is so unfair. I was told family members/friends vote tons of times over & over....

  • i agree

  • best performance by her.

  • good but I prefer the original!

  • your a fucking idiot. She was very good.

  • uhm...have you ever compared her to taylor swift??...they have similarities...i just knew when she used the guitar...hahaha

  • Does Brooke have an album out? I am nuts about this young woman.

  • Yes she does!! It's called "High Hopes and Heartbreak." And its awesome!! I love her too!!

    she sounds just like the orignal!

    [[[:

  • or better!

  • Too bad she peaked too soon, if she performed like this in the top 10, she could've made top 3.

  • coulds in my coffeee

  • i agree 100 percent

  • this show was so much better without kara...

  • Very good! Not far from the original!

  • Very nice, but far, far away.

  • I love Brooke :-*

  • this song was off of how to lose a guy in 10 days they sang it so bad it was so funny!

  • you can do my hair! lmao

  • I don't know why you didn't win!?..I love you!

    xoxoxo

  • Great song...The original is usually the best, but she did a good job...I like her rendition...This song is timeless.

  • What?!? This was my favorite performance of hers.

  • this is the performance that made brooke my front runner.... too bad she lost her composer, sometimes that happens

  • well performed

  • This song is about me. XD

  • she sounds almost as good as Carly Simon1

  • ah gosh ^^

    i love her voice and personality SO MUCH! gah. =] i miss her on ai!! season 7 was by far the best. ^^

  • I love her, she is a great singer, why doesn't she sing anymore.

    I miss singers like her, this year, American Idol's contestants are so bad, only the front runner (Adam) does very well.

  • i saw her first time on season 8, love her

  • I love her smile =D

  • she looks like a young carly simon lol

  • She does look like a young Carly Simon.. I have to agree!

  • great voice! great voice! great voice! great voice! great voice! great voice! great voice!

    COPY & PASTE IF YOU THINK SHE HAS A GOOD VOICE

  • i loved this and she was so tlkin to simon

  • great voice! great voice! great voice! great voice! great voice! great voice! great voice!

    COPY & PASTE IF YOU THINK SHE HAS A GOOD VOICE

  • can anybody tell me the chord progression that she does?

  • Hello to Brooke: I thought Brooke was one of the greatest last year. I seen her on the tour in PA. Excellent. I'm a guitar player for 35 years. I really think Brooke would be great doing some Renaissance

    folk rock like Blackmore's Night. Brooke if you are reading this, check out Blackmore's Night.

  • i love this!

  • just GREAT

  • 4 me one of the best perfomances on Idol. It just shows that you dont have to blow anyone with your voice to be on top.

    its just bad she didn't win.

  • amazing, BRooke!!!! i love you! im voting for ya tonight!

  • carol king all the way

  • The Occasional Gravelly sound in her voice is soooo fucking hot!!!!!

  • Notice that Brooke keeps looking towards Simon as she was singing this song.

    Hey, Simon, I'll bet you think this song is about you. Don't you, don't you?

  • God, She is beautiful. (Oh, Ahd Yeah, she sings like an angel.) Luiz From Brazil.

  • Same here, i wanted her to win also.

  • love her

  • GREAT!!

  • I LOVE YOU BROOKE!

  • I love this song for her!

  • I'd like to sing this with her....I'd do Mick Jagger's part.

  • I love brooke's voice!

  • I so wanted Brooke to win.. But I enjoy listening to her music and watching this performance along with others : D

  • I WANTED HER WIN!

  • My friends and I sang this all the time last year when Brooke sang this.

  • She can play guitar and piano! She is amazing, love you Brooke!

  • Not surprised that Idol featured Brooke last week. This young lady has a magnetism about her that compliments her amazing talent. I love her. We will see much more of Brooke I am sure.

  • Brooke white is beautiful!!!! i love BRITTON!

  • Carly actually phoned this girl & personally complimented her on her rendition of the song. Says how much those judges on this show know.

  • i love brooke she is the best

    the cutest in the world

  • The disqualification of Brook White was hands down the the biggest travesty in American Idol history. The fact that she lost to David Cook was even worse! That guys sucks serious balls. In fact I swore of the show after she was voted off.

  • Yeah Brooke was the most talented Idol ever!

  • other than kelly and carrie of course.

  • I like Brooke, but I think David Cook did a lot better than Brooke. I think she lost because of forgetting her lyrics and restarting the song [e.g. "You Must Love Me"]. David Cook was not my favorite idol in AI 2008 but I think David Cook really did great in AI.

  • She's ok, but it doesn't top Carley Simon...

  • Personally I thought the chorus was very flat, she did well with the lyrics but it wasn't great. I realize people like this girl and will disagree with me just because of that but based on just the tone of this song, this song was very very flat. 2/5

  • flat as in not emotional?

    or flat musically?

  • she reminds me of sam on icarly she makes her faces kind of and her hair does look taylors and i think taylors awesome

  • YA!

  • i love her doing this song

  • Wow, not only was that the perfect song for her to do, she really has a fantastic voice of her own.

  • Yeah

  • I like how she never answered Randy's question about calling Simon vain. haha

  • dude.... dont talk shitt about Taylor Swiftt. Taylor Swift is my idol and icon. but i love Brooke too

  • Just because Taylor Swift is your idol & icon doesn't mean people can't talk shit about Taylor Swift haha.

  • when was this last year..

  • ryan's gotta stop puttin his hands all over her right in front of her husband, he's gonna get his ass kicked

  • This was her best performance while she was on I think. She kept getting a little sloppier as she went on and definitely wasn't good enough to win, but I like her voice anyway.

  • she actually reminds me of carly simon, i'd buy her cd definitely.

  • she is so good! GO BROOKE!

  • she's like a grown up taylor swift!!!

    i wanted to win so badly

  • Dude. She's way better than Taylor Swift. Taylor can't even sing well live.

    The only similarity is the hair.

  • Yes, she is way better than that Taylor girl. But Taylor hair looks funny.

  • Brooke rocks!! i wonder what Kara would do when she looked at Simon ( she seems like a newbe ) any way go Brooke!

  • Kara knows music no doubt about that

  • this is my favorite performance of hers

  • Haha, I wasn't paying attention the first few seconds so at 0:09 I thought she said "I started doing heroin when I was like 11 years old."

  • hey yeah! i thought that's what she said too! ahhaa..

  • Loving her more and more. Never liked a girl so much, her laugh, her energy - her voice IS her... no imitation of anyone, her beautiful qualities are just naturally there.

    She is a heartbreaker.

  • nice but no Carly Simon, but a nice try

  • one of her best performances

  • Very good rendition...I don't follow American Idol, but I believe she should have won!

  • i love her voice!!!!

  • What a wonderful voice. I always laugh when I see Paula talk because she barely opens her mouth, lol.

  • i love you brooke!!!!

  • Great song, was unconvinced until 2:19 what a smile

    I'd buy her album

  • she has an album

    buy it

  • really??!!! YAY!!!!

  • Whites voice was so good I like it. I think shes fun to be with. Her laugh was infectious.

  • Love Brooke. (Even tho' DA was my pick for "top dawg") I wanted her in top 3 or 2..Hope she keeps at it and brings us a cd.

    She's beautiful, cool, quirky, fun...and last but not least has a really cool voice.. raspy and melodic and uniquely hers. Hadn't watched her videos in a while, I recall again now why I liked her as one of my last year top favorites.
