She has a very nice voice but I really don't like this version. The whole appeal of the song (at least to me) is its simplicity/innocence, and this one is must too histrionic. But then again, so is American Idol.
@bmender707700Fan If you just have a rough history with homophones, I will assume you said "Brooke should have won." If that's what you meant, I wholeheartedly agree. We were cheated out of a Brooke vs. David C. finale by a promotional gimmick.
i really enjoyed this performance, first time i had seen Brooke perform, did justice to the song and felt the emotion in her performance, great comments from the judges
Dude Bigs don't be a hater not everyones gonna sing like like lennon or mccartney just listening to someone who has good taste in music and looks like taylor swift must really piss you off huh. I'm 22 and I've been listening to Ozzy The Beatles Beethoven since i was 4. Age is just a # dude.
Crazy. My name is Brooke White too. I've grown up watching Ameican Idol, and she was one of my absolute favorite... But it gets even crazier because I also live in AZ :) She's such an inspiration<3
i remember , in the seventys, i saw the temptations do let it be on T.V. thats when i realized that this song isn't just good,i truely belive it's divinely inspired.the best piece of chistian music since Bach
It takes a lot of guts to get up there and perform, I think instead of doing her own take on the song though she should of stuck with the original as much as possible
The Beatles themselves were like other men, but the music and lyrics channeled through them contained magic and hidden messages. To learn how to perceive these hidden meanings, search "Truth Contest" in Google and click the 1st result, then open The Present and read through the section about The Beatles.
This is still by far the best performance I have ever seen on American Idol, til this day! Next to Haley's version of Benny & The Jets. I don't get tired of this performance, it's not about having the best vocals but it's performance and how you touch people, and these woman do!
@ChasingMoonlight13 she didnt win because she didnt always sing the best songs. the following week, she sung here comes the sun and it was horrible. david cook won because he sung every song great while being the first person to play an instrument. he changed the format of idol.
Brooke is AWESOME, I only hope that my nine year old girl will grow up with the head Brooke appears to have... Very strong willed and "True" person. Great for you B and my hat is off to your parents!
And this is why the music industry is failing miserably. Those that have a little bit of talent get thrown into the spotlight and let America decide who is best and sorry to say America has no talent, no true idols and have fallen victim to corporate america's idea of paying dues through false marketing. Not writing songs, not spending years on tour and becoming a better musician. Nope, instant gratification because someone can hold a tune and looks pretty.
@TheHonda550 Sorry for her fans - she is a wonderful singer - but maybe singing the classic songs isn't a good idea. Best wishes for Brooke however. I mean it. But nobody will ever replace Joplin or McCartney (etc) - just ain't happening. Please don't try.
@sirjasonofnew17 LOLOL....little slow, buddy? Because he picked up and was messing with her shoes....and there's a rumor he's a homo....so they were calling him out like, "Ryyyyyyan...easy, tiger....this is a family show....those are HER shoes...not yours, queer". Get it now?
@sirjasonofnew17 Errrr...huh? You asked what they were joking about, not about homo presenters. There's plenty of 'em on television. We just don't let them marry. :~)
its great to apreciate the Beatles- but singing them badly ruins the greatest music ever- if u want to cover great bands u have to be really good- a professional musician, or have alot of heart and thought like Archulata did
Ahhhh I Miss Brooke so much!! She was such a breath of fresh air! So pure and so was her voice too. Did she go on and make an album??? I must check into this! She has such an amazing voice and what a little doll she is!
@greenday4121 This show only allows you to do covers. She is a friend of mine and I have known her for many years. She knows the words to every Beatles song written. She is a music encyclopedia. She felt honored to even do this song. When she performed the song that week she had almost no voice. Still sold the most songs for several weeks. If you knew her you would appreciate her. Kindest most genuine friend I have ever had. Great musician and songwriter. Never had an unkind word.
she did an okay job singing this. i have to admit that she sang this way better than katie stevens did. I just dont think that its anywhere as good as the beatles version.
this was one of the only seasons i actually knew about everyone competing. this year was too over the top but im glad.....who won??? ooh yeah lee dewyze yes im glad he won
