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.
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.
@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.
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.
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...
@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....
PaulXray, thank you for posting this, this is a great rendition of the song, Brooke did really well with it and i like it. Well done Brooke. Wonderful song and you did it well.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
Great voice.... love this girl
She looks so Happy :)
