[ronaldromero85]

So� Unusual comments for this video once more.

[darinsargent25]

Your video is a favorite on Cote d'Ivoire

[soccerguyize]

do they do beatles week on every american idol

[songhug]

i was getting ready for another person to butcher this song. and i was RIGHT,

[amyramirez81]

nice but she didnt let herself go. she was being too safe.

[TomsFriendKake]

I love how at the end she catches herself from crying, then smiles because she knew she nailed it!

[bamargerawhat]

@stewiemyman112 haha wow epic fail!!!!!

[davidok1971]

Que interpretación, que voz, full feeling

[witiedagreat]

i love her version of let it be

[Msdonnamae28]

Great version..love it <3

[stewiemyman112]

the beatles cover was good, but her original is so much better

[equeen2010]

@stewiemyman112 r u kidding me? the original was from the beatles!

[passionsfanmatt]

i think broke has a beautiful voice and she sang it really good.

[Adolphus91788]

Not only is this a great cover, she was the hottest person on the show that year.

[jaksplitter]

It was okay, still like the original better (obviously)

[jtacha]

I think that definilly she did a great job.........This Cover for this song is amazing.............a great performance...........I LOVE HER VOICE.....

[kingjohntown]

i luv the beatles and she did really good i like brooke white. shes really pretty to

[Lilliaal]

Gonna sound crazy coming from a beatles purist fan, but she sag in better. Of course, she wouldn't have the talent to write such a beautiful song (No one can) she still sang it very very well, maybe even better than Paul.

[annelinnea77]

sorry, i'll have do disagree. Paul has so much more power and soul in his voice. My point of view. It was a good preformance, but no one can top Paul, and atleast not the Beatles.

[girlygrl11]

Hello? Seriously, why are you comparing her to Paul? Of course he sings it better, its his song! I bet if she made a song sang it, and than Paul sang it, hers would be better because its her song. But anyway i love Brooke, shes my favorite from this season, this is my favorite song sung by her!

[torreslavila]

its unfair comparing her with the beatles. she is a very talented girl, and all the best to her.

[xxbia]

agreed!

[HeatherFeather141]

paul is betterrr. but of course he is! but she still did good! =]

[melhem19461982]

nice feet

[ackers6]

she is so cute

[cubs9100]

paul mccartney sings it better

[TheYoungMusician]

Are you kidding me? Paul McCartney is a musical genius, a great singer (the fact that he doesn't sing with the same type of style that most American idol contestants do-that is, very showoffy, singing many more notes than neccesary) a fabulous multi-instrumentalist, and the greatest pop song writer of all time. He has more talent than any American Idol contestant, ever.

[KierraPwnsxD]

@TheYoungMusician She wasn't trying to be like Paul Mccartney. She was trying to sing it in a version that's her own. If singing in a version that is her own is classified as"showoffy/ singing more notes than necessary" at least she's singing it the way she imagined herself singing it. Of course Paul Mccartney is better.He's a legend, and she seems like a very down to earth person.There's no way she thought she'd be better than Paul Mccartney,but does that mean she can't sing the song she wants?

[bambii1221]

Hmm i think theres alot of stuff she could work on but the song it self is nice

[honk97]

Pretty good.

But watch out for Thomas Godoj, the eventual winner of German Idol (DSDS) and his version of 'Let it be'. It is just great.

[juzmp4ever]

Nice =)

She did pretty good here! I like the way she sings this song.. with such passion!

[webkinzlovergirl25]

i like brooke white!

[alliecat513]

she could of won!!!

[alavignerox777]

I wasen't a fan of hers at all on the show..(Kristy Lee Cook was my favorite to win)but she did a GREAT job! :)

[cbotten106]

Too much 'voice decorations' (gotta borrow that one) and soulless. I tend to agree with the posters below on those points. Totally over pimped by the judges on this performance that portends of the overly emotional breakdowns to come.

[dqtmarie]

I think her voice really suits this song, I was just dissapointed that she tried to over-do it by adding all those, how to say it, 'voice decorations'. At some points the vibratto in her voice was very fake and it didn't sound well. I'm surprised the judges didn't mention that about her, but I do agree it was nice.

[bilobangg]

d;lkFJSDLKFJdsF

yeeess

[katherinej11]

she's so sweet and does have lovely talent, but she was just a little too emotional for this competition.

[Billybopper1]

Something fishy's goin on...

They've "disabled" the link to Brooke's music on iTunes...check it out. Search 'brooke white' then scroll down on the idol page and click her name under the David's. VERY PACULIAR??? Please email iTunes and have all fans do the same to find out what's up.

(message from tim brooke's manager)

Please repost this if you can and PLEASE get a hold of itunes and ask them why they have disabled brookes music on itunes!!

[desjarlais1m]

She seemed a little crazy to me...

Something wasn't quite with her.

[elsaad26]

she is d best really...her voice so good...shes like a rock star voice

[mammat1969]

vulnerable & raw...how could you ask for more...clap clap loud

[kitap2006]

not enough SOUL! BUT SHE CAN SING

[bajer2006]

have u lost ur mind?no soul? shes the only person with sings with soul!

[kitap2006]

compared to a'siah and the OTHER SOULD SINGERS THAT GOT VOTED OFF SHE LOOKS SOOOO GREEN I MEAN COME ON YOU SAY THAT CAUSE YOU DONT KNOW WHAT THE SOUL TONE IS SHE JUST DOESNT HAVE IT LIKE THAT SHE CAN SING THOUGH

[raymel13]

i agree with...ridewind1234 but her time was up...and she should have lasted that long... i think she sings realy good... espechily this song =)

[Hadeydeppio]

YESS she went HOME!!

FINALLLLLLLLLLLLY

there is some justice left in this world...

she shouldnt have even made it out of hollywood week.seriously

[ridewind1234]

Nonsense! Hollywood week she sang really really well. "Beautiful" was sung well even better than MJ.

And do you need to leave this kind of comment here where is her best performance on the show?

Go do something useful elsewhere, please.

[DyLAniSoHoTT]

AMAZING PERFORMANCE!! I love Brooke!! She's so beautiful and talented!!

Ohh, n i love the part Randy and Simon bully Ryan!! LOL!! Actually, now that i think baout it, Ryan and Brooke do make a cute couple!!

I REALLY WISH SHE WASN'T MARRIED!!!

[DyLAniSoHoTT]

FIY, I;m a girl, and the reason why i wish she wasn't married was so that Ryan and her could become and item, hehehe..

I know, I know, "WILD IMAGINATION!!" lol...

[MichaelGaard]

I'm complete in love with this performance!! Stella performance! :-) Good luck at the gig Raymel... you can't nothing BUT rock with this song...

[raymel13]

lol thank you it realy means a lot to me lol so let it be lol

[raymel13]

i love this song im playing it for my piano consert may 20th i cant wait to rock the stage like brooke

[SDFWicked20]

really??

[cbotten106]

I nodded off, did Brookie get through it on one take?

[kaenjie2]

How can she be so beautiful?

[capwellian]

I really don't think she's good. She sounds terrified all the time! That is NOT professional.

[gurney50]

You already have the wrong prediction. Kristy got seventh and Carly got sixth. Here's my prediction.

I think Syesha's getting voted off next week. Then David Cook gets fourth since Chris Daughtry got in that place in Season 5. After Then Either Brooke or Jason either get third place or become runner up. Then David Archuleta becomes the American Idol

[Jennyjayne123]

Love that song.

[GabbyPak]

She can do better than that...

[eikogo]

very unoriginal singing voice

[iamkillermonkey]

This is my prediction:

1. David Cook

2. David Archuleta

3. Jason

4. Kristy

5. Carly

6. Brooke

7. Syesha

[dykemyre]

she can actually make an album after american idol because of her distinct sound. but there is no way she will win.

then again, those who don't win in american idol become famous eventually.

[DrSeussFanatic]

Brooke has a great voice, but I really hope she doesn't win. She is like every other famous women blonde, skinny and blue eyes. I really want Carly to win

[tuse1991]

for me brooke is best girl she has whole thing she s special and something new she has i like also carly but she had only one good performance she smetimes had problems with pitches and wrong song choices that doesnt fit her but love brooke vote for her

[Maureen52]

I really like Brooke White and I hope she makes it to the top 3! I think the ultimate question to ask yourself about a singer is: "How does he/she make me feel?" I like the way Brooke makes me feel. :)

[lokutube]

It's OK

[sakurawolf14]

woooooo!!!

[morainevalley]

Loved this one! Could someone please record both wednesday's and thursday's shows. My tape player broke on me. Thanks all! =)

[PeaceIsPeaceful]

LOVE HER!!! Keep the confidence up and your totally amazing!

[jcwhit089]

Brooke ur awsome! Keep it up! 5 stars!

Check out my Overmyer channel and post a comment plz! :-)

[MKindle]

I think she's amazing. i love her voice, very reconizable, che commects with the song, with the audience. She's like a female James Taylor. She isn't the 'get out of the floor' singer, screaming tipe, which is cool also.

I don't think she'll win, she's competing with great singers. But I believe she'll do well outside idol afterwars

[lkviewranch]

I love her!!!! Amazing! I don't think she is an amazing singer, but I think the best thing about it is she really connects with the audience. Plus she was crying in this one. I hope she gets into the top two inlike david cook...i really don't like him

[bobmcbob2323]

shes actually really not good if u dont look at her and just listen to the music

the only truly good singers on the show are

david archuleta..of course

david cook.. in his style

and carly smithson shes the best girl by FAR

[knxmark]

Agreed. Carly is by far the best girl. But for god's sake, vote for her.

[TrueMe08]

agreed

[tyuio765]

I agree, she is really good, and she is not relying on her instrument like Jason Castro is. I'm hoping for her to make it at least to top Three

[marisxodaughtry]

shes the best girl in the competition by far =]

[felisdia]

i think she is by far the best female on the idol this year

[frankareno]

Zaibo26, you are an awesome person for saying that and I agree 100% - Thank You! :)

[Zaibo26]

100% - Thank you to you too ... Cheers to Brooke White & frankareno !!!

[laurencio564]

the beatles would not be proud are u friggen kidding me!!!! they ARE sacred amazing singers and you can not listen to this crap if you are even a remote fan tey have killed the beatles!!!! dead dead dead!!!! watch the real thing people!!!!

[Tapper940]

If she wins, the babies she used to nanny can say "Brooke White used to be my nanny!"

[Zaibo26]

Brooke White is a very talented and loveable performer in AI7. Her voice is very unique and she is heading for good and bigger times, winning or not A17 ... Good lucks for the journey in her career and life!!! - "Let it be".

[bruneisultan]

a very good presentation of Let It Be. Excellent. Favourite to be the next American Idol. Gook luck

[lovelife008]

good 4 her but we're talking about Brooke's performance not some random girl at a play

[SmashFiles]

wow, no offense, but someone at a local play sang this song, shes only 14 and she sings better than her.

[kitzyay23]

wow.. simple.. but quite .. amzong. very good voice.. i love her i hope she will win.. she is one of the deservings

[xmenfan117]

how can you do something that to a beatles song. its a shame

[xobroadwaygrl86]

it's not a shame. she"s amazing. A tribute to the Beatles. I think they'd be proud.

[markgyver20]

Well, you can't ever compare a cover version to the original. It's given that the original is sacred, and this applies best to songs of icons like The Beetles. But you have to admit, this is a really good version. A fresh take on a popular song. Brave move, Brooke!!!

[iotep]

Brooke, can you please merry Thomas Godoj.

He is among the last 8 in the german version of american idol and should win it. Search for Godoj and listen to his version of "chasing cars"...- You'd make a dream couple.

[xobroadwaygrl86]

Haha. But Brook's married.

[ventilationgr]

to all of those who love Amanda like me go to youtube search write amanda overmyer on ellen you will love this

[localpaperboy]

shes fake!

[iwishdannywerehere]

your face is fake

!!

[QUBEE420]

Brooke......excellent....mice ta listen too .,i'm impressed, hope you go a long way in life hun

[MapleMeadows]

omg im cumming

im actually cumming

[TonRock61]

shes so conceited

[conchispita]

Brooke is not conceited at all!

She is very talented, yet one of the most humble people I know.

[mormongals16]

She is so great!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO BROOKE!!!! i hope she or david wins, they are good friends. GO BROOKE!!!!!

[punkpop4]

i frekin love brooke

[F117widow]

I love her voice the most!  She will be famous for a long time, if she wins or not!

[deanafaithjeff]

love her :) she so down to earth.. and a mommy :O)

[jazmin150990]

I love her broken voice... shes amazing

[happy2pogo]

The song was sung by McCartney, not Lennon...

[Zachannahmontana]

lennon mcCartney

[alag666]

John Lennon, Paul McCartney; written by McCartney. Lead Vocal for the original song was by McCartney with everyone else harmonizing with him.

[Zachannahmontana]

Ohh thanks

[katandcait]

WoW!!!!! good

[brian122600]

John lennon is still the shit!!!!!

[funny7muffin]

she needs more control of her voice

[bloom1185]

She puts some feeling into her songs this girl. She has a very nice textured voice. Not easy to sing and play piano either. Good for her!

[dankchief]

WOW....that wasent even good at all!!!...I mean this bitch is hot but that wasent even that good

[squeaksqueaky]

she is great :):) i am glad she sang let it be it is one of my fave songs and she is one of my fave american idol contestants

[rmga0305]

She's GREAT!!!!

[maryjanekeannu]

Brooke is great!!!

[discofever88]

she so gooooddddddddddddddddddd!!!!

i hope she will win this competition!!!

i think she is SIMPLE.. and her voice texture was sssssooooo good!!!

i love her!

[kikichan10]

She reminds me of Aly from Aly and AJ. Kristy reminds me of Katie Holmes.

[smileyblondiie1]

i hope she wins i loved her the first time i saw her audition

[youlittlecowyou]

I just wish once, that a singer on this show would ornament only when necessary. They all put so many frills on the song...I don't know. I'm a fan of making it your own, but not embellishing it to the point of no return. Not saying she did that a lot, but it just reminded me of that point.

[luke3jes]

I hadn't really clicked with Brooke until this week. I can see her now having a successful recording career as she has a nice, light unique vocal. The deck was stacked in her favor, however, as she chose what is arguably the greatest Beatles song, if not one of the greatest songs ever written. For example, David Archuleta would have knocked this one out of the park if he had made this his song choice.

[rickryansworld2]

A very heart felt performance by her. It brought tears to my eyes.

I'm a huge Beatle fan. She did them justice!

Rick Ryan

[mrsmiller105]

Dang. I just had goosebumps watching this. Awesome heartfelt performance. :)

[KlayMan2007]

Man, Brooke looks like she's about to sob during this performance, and I agree with that.

"Let It Be" is a very inspirational song. According to Wikipedia, the inspiration was as follows:

"McCartney said he wrote "Let It Be", after a dream he had had about his mother during the tense period surrounding the Get Back/Let It Be sessions. McCartney explained that his mother—who died of cancer when McCartney was fourteen—was the inspiration for the "Mother Mary" lyric."

There you go.

[jbone0809]

her voice isnt powerful at all..but it is nice to listen to...

[jacydc]

man, she reminds me so much of carly simon sitting behind that piano.

[Doriselley]

omg she is sexy

[Squidgoat]

twice.

[jolly945]

this video is awesome and brooke is a wonderful an awesome singer better then the girls

[crharvey94]

I love brooke...

even though I think the girls aren't very good this year... besides brooke of course. =D

[oluwakamau]

it was truly believable... ryan looked high on this night

[zeeaiy]

i like the timber...

the voice is so nice...

love etttt

[elkei]

yah its just the same like her all performance, something new pls...

[melpuge]

WHEEW!

That was soo great!

Way to go.

I wonder why only few people viw this video.

They are losing half of their lives.

[phoebeinrye]

not much a AI follower, but hugh fan of Brooke, she's so honest and talented, she can make every song sound special in her own way

[CollegeEducated123]

AMAZING. I've never voted in American Idol before, and I'm not a huge follower of the show, but I catch it once it a while.

This girl is amazing. She will do great things.

[bashuback]

thnz royalsupreme for the upload u great..!! huhu.. i like her diff.. frm the other girl!! thumbz up babe!!

[gedembong]

wow wow yeoh.yeoh..

[ILoveToEatPineapples]

shes so honest

[yabsguitar]

she sang it with heart..... the best ever performance i have ever seen in all seasons... i commented because she justified the greatness of paul and john... who ever disagree with me can visit my site and ill show you why i said that....

[xFullMoonx33]

I SANG THIS SONG FOR MY CHOIR CONCERT! I absolutely loved it and Brooke sang it sooo well! GO BROOKE!!!

[pittsy66]

They are against women winning this show. The have themes around Elton John / The Beatles / Barry Manilow etc etc. Where is Madonna, Tina Turner, Aretha Franklin, Mary J Blige etc etc

[princessangelmary]

it sounds the same like last week performance, like all her performance, if everyone likes this one, i think this is the best she could ever do on the show. the happy moment was so cute but people are getting carried away that they are not listening. She would be a really great Indie artist but i don't think she is THE american idol. But americans and this whole personality thing, so oh well.

[helloperson17]

She was awesome!

[KaseyK9fan]

My favorite is Jason Castro, but she is my second is her and i think yesterday her preformance was the best :)

[cleogirl87]

Fabulous!

[shadownick619]

aww man i want her to win this bad, and all the fucks that say her tears were fake go put yourselves in her position!

[gamerfan09]

Best yeah Ever ..My favorite Rating :

1. Micheal Jones

2. Chikize or Brooke White

3. David Or Carly

[SRTeasy]

okay.. nobody bit so I'll say it..

"WHO Mike Jones?!?"..happy now?

[Hitman100]

cyring doesn't amke u emo retard. but it also doesn't make your cover good. this sucked huge asshole. put away your fake tears.

[cyngot]

I don't think the tears were fake. Right behind the judges was a sign that said "We love Brooke (but we miss our nanny)" with a picture of her two "kids." If you had a heart, that would get to it, because it's obvious she really loves those kids.

[armoore0311]

She is AWESOME! I hope she wins the whole thing! She is so talented! Not only can she sing, but she can play the guitar and piano very well! She is so unique and different! And her voice is so real!!! And she is so dern sweet!!! GO BROOKE!!!

[twinklelhasa]

she's soo beautiful :)

[dibop87]

She's damn good! If you didnt watch her during the earlier episodes of hollywood week and the auditions, you would actually like her more. She was kinda emo throughout then..but this was good. I like her song choices.

[dibop87]

She's still emo though. Just watched the rest of the video. She cried. Stop it!

[dibop87]

She's still emo though. Just watched the rest of the video. She cried. Stop it!

[ChrisF116]

Everyone on the damn show is emo 'cuz they all cry either when they do good or when they get kicked off.

[JoSpfan]

I'm really startin' to like her

[pinkhaylo]

this is my fave song by the beatles its brilliant. Brooke did a great job x

[musicislovee18]

This is my favorite Beatles song! and she done an AMAZINg job!! brought tears to my eyes, heartfelt&beautiful!! :)

[BfeoAdmin]

She actually sounds alot like the kid in "Across the Universe" that sung the song as well.

[imlance]

Amazing Hearfelt Performance.Of all the performances of the american Idol finalist, this girl,brooke white, is the reason why i kept on watching american Idol 2 to 3 times on tv and online. I was absolutely touched by all of her performances and 3 songs from her are on my favorites. I actually love 3 to 4 of the finalists this year, even Amanda who kept on singing rock songs, because i dont really love rock. But brooke is the one i remember the most.

[sabrinamom]

My favorite Beatles Song. .. and she respectfully and artistically gave it justice. Bravo.

[abinandhbaradwaj]

I love the beatles...and I think brook was amazing...even though my fav in the competition is david cook..brook did justice to the beatles

[mmvvpp]

When Brooke sings you get the feeling that you would want to hear more of her singing... she's great...

[ultramanjones]

That is exactly what I was thinking mmvvpp. Love ya Brooke! Sing some more!

[RedDevilDan]

the best performance of tonight

gosh, i start to like brooke white now!

[WoodyAllenManiac]

I like Carly more, but Brooke definitely "worked it out," to quote Mr. Randy Jackson.

[ultramanjones]

Before tonight I knew she had talent. Now, I am a fan. Brooke, you could leave Idol right now and be a shining star in the world. I have always said that singing is not about notes and dazzling technically or grandstanding... (although she can do all that too) its about touching people from a distance and making them FEEL something real.  The Muses are with you Brooke White. You are a light bringer! And you were absolutely lovely tonight. Brooke, you will sing to the world.

[caioloki]

behold the next american idol :)

[xoxaddictedtoyouxox]

she looked gorgeous and sounded amazing ... shes without a doubt my fav this year!!

[Emmers0630]

I love her. What a great performance. I am a fan!

[hjfitzy]

beautiful

[burtlancaster76]

Simply stunning as always....I have to say I heard a version of this live a few months back by my new favorite artist JAKE WALDEN....I was so moved, so taken aback by the passion and raw beauty of his voice and this song that I have spent a great deal of time trying to spread the word about this young man...his debut album just came out this month and it is stunning...i hope you will get it on itunes, listen on myspace and like lennon and mccartney, discover a talent not to be forgotten.

[jewood8]

I love Brooke, she's awesome!

[knnarmst<]

Brook is just amazing!!!

I teared up a little during her performance.

She really connected with the song.
