Brooke White is annoyingly positive and pleasant. The tears at the end of every song is too much.

Considering how the rest of the evening went Brooke will have no problems this week. I would like to see her in the Bottom 3, just to see if t sends her over the edge and causes a breakdown.

Brooke was gorgeous. She was amazing. What can I say more of. Hope she past this week and not landing in the bottom 3.

Good song for Brooke, good performance. It’s the puppy eyes and lip biting that are driving me nuts, but unlike chessguy, I don’t have a desire to see her break down (really chessguy!)

Don’t look so desperate for votes Brooke, everyone still wants Kristy Lee Cook to leave so bad it hurts! Go Brooke!

I didn’t think it was bad really and she was in the bottom three last week. Didn’t have a breakdown as far as I can tell.

I love Brooke! I think she will be safe this week even if she gets in the bottom 3.

NOt Brooke’s fault, but I totally thought the accompaniment & arrangment sucked on that song. The violins were horrid; the piano was too legato and “round” and the voice & the backing just didn’t “mix” together. It was like she was singing “in front of / separate from” but not “with”. It just didn’t work and I thought it was the band’s fault.

She was ok.

Simon really summed it up…but for the most part that is Brooke White…

And Rickey, hate to correct you, but it is Carole King….not James Taylor. And it was definitely the King version, not the Taylor version.

I was surprised she decided not to play the piano on this one.

This was an okay performance. Didn’t feel a connection with her and the audience though. She’s done better.

Hated her puppy dog eyes and pouting at the end.

Why was she such an emotional wreck this week? Was it because of the family members in the audience? I’m afraid for her sometimes…her emotions are so easy to dicombobulate.

Thought she was good Just love her voice. Question, does she resemble Anne Lennix just a little? or even Jason C (jmo)

i really like her but i think she is more of a singer/song writer than a performer.

her singing other people’s song makes her seem ordinary.

sorry sp Annie Lennox

Brook White is the weakest of the females left. She is pretty but it would be awful if she won Ai. Both Davids are the best males and Jason Caestro is very cool in his style and there is a niche for him in the music business. The rest of them are doomed.

Can we PLEASE get rid of this woman! Must we endure this pain any longer! At first I thought, this chick has potential. And then week after week after week, it seem to steadily get worse and worse. With the crying, and they puppy dog face, and the talking while the judges critique them, my God!

Singers, if there is one thing you need to do when listening to the judges, … is LISTEN TO THE JUDGES! SHUT YOUR MOUTHS! It seems week after week Brooke and Carly start ranting about why they picked the song. WHO CARES WHY YOU PICKED IT! JUST SING THE DARN SONG AND SHUT IT! WE’LL decide if it’s any good! You could have picked the song because it was your dead grandmothers favorite song, WHO CARES! if you can’t sing it! Sing the song people, that’s your job as a singer! Don’t try and make it more than what it really is!

That’s what I can not STAND about Brooke! She tries to justify everything single song she sings! WHO CARES Brooke!

And now with the tears, and playing the piano in her bare feet, come on, would you please! You know what’s interesting. I actually think Brooke could be REALLY good, if she just concentrated on the music and her voice. Didn’t get all weird with her little idiosyncrasies. And took the criticism that the judges gave her, respectfully, and professionally.

But Brooke has a little known problem as to why she can’t do those things. SHE’S CRAZY! I’ll bet you, and I’m serious here, she is either a recovering drug abuser, or alcoholic. She’s GOTTA BE!

Gosh, I really2 concern for you Brooke. Could be for some other finalist. I mean the number of your fans (including me of course ) So David Archuleta and D. Cook really dominate American Idol Show this year. I think it can be called David Year? Hehe…

OMG I just noticed that she did the crazy occult symbol at the end. Could she be part of the group of global elites that are creating a new world order? Like Bush et al? Maybe that’s why she’s still in this and Simon hasn’t torn her to shreads – she’s part of the inner circle!

Rickey can you add this to your conspiracy theories?
