She started. She stopped. She started again. And still, “American Idol” contestant Brooke White never seemed to get it together. In fact, does anyone even remember the rest of the performance?
White, the 24-year-old blonde songstress who has won viewers’ hearts with her bluesy voice and down-to-earth style, is almost sure to be among the show’s bottom three vote-getters this week after stumbling over the beginning of her performance of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “You Must Love Me.”
It was the second time this season White stopped singing and restarted a song from the beginning, this time because she forgot the words to the ballad originally performed by Madonna in the film “Evita.”
Surprisingly, White took the most heat from perennial contestant cheerleader Paula Abdul, who said bluntly:
“You must never start and stop.”
Jude Simon Cowell disagreed with Abdul, saying the move had been “brave.” But, he also warned White that “it completely threw you… you are going to be very disappointed when you watch this back.”
White’s face, with her lips pursed together and head cocked to the side, said it all following the performance. She has already been in the show’s bottom 3 twice this season, most recently last week. And with the show down to just six contestants now, there are few left who could break her fall. (Except for maybe Jason Castro after his grueling performance of “Memory” — Randy Jackson put it best when he called it a “train wreck”)
Lloyd Webber, the show’s guest mentor for the week, also must have been disappointed by White’s poor showing. Earlier this week, he told the “Los Angeles Times” that he had been “really quite impressed” with White. “I got something out of her,” he added.
Whatever it was that Sir Andrew “got” out of White during the show’s rehearsals, it sure eluded her on Tuesday night. Sorry Brooke, but the Bottom 3 looks tailor-made for you this week.

i can’t stand watching brooke and jason sing. ALWAYS THE SAME– BORING, ANNOYING, NAUSEA-INDCUING. they ruined the contest for me. that they were on the show for aslong as they did was one of the grossest injustices ever. i dont believe america needs another girl-next-door who acts cute with her cutesy vocals. so bad taste. jason is another pain in the arse with a dreadful voice and bad hairstyle. they should be booted from the beginning. I REALLY CAN’T STAND THEM!! BRING CARLY, MIKE AND KRISTY BACK!
- Posted by katieEverybody who says something about Brooke forgetting the lyrics must be forgetful themselves, because they aren’t or have NOT said ANYTHING about David A. forgetting his words! In my opinion, he looks & acts so immature! Brooke should still be on American Idol! Despite the negative comments some people still like or want to give Brooke, she is THE BEST & she will go far! I am getting her cd before American Idol & I can’t wait to get the next 1 she does! I just wish the American Idol Tour was coming close to me, but, it’s NOT! I hope to get to see her perform someday/time & get to meet her & have my picture made with her & get an autograph from her! If you ask me all the guys that made it to the Top24 are just a bunch of wannabe fags! I think American Idol should have been cancelled when Brooke was sent home! I’m beginning to think it is rigged because she was THE BEST! Brooke is My Idol FOREVER & ALWAYS! Brooke White is #1! THANKS!
- Posted by AprilKelly,
- Posted by Brianna Lindahli just read what you wrote about Brooke White and it is not true at all!! How could you say that about her.
Anyone who think Brooke had good vocals and was
a good performer is nuts.
She stayed well past her welcome and ability.
She takes the prize for her exit.
She acted like a child.
She is a no talent who will never be
heard from again!!!
Coulnd’t be happier..The pity train
- Posted by smartnamed Babbling Brooke has FINALLY wrecked!!
your a terrible person and a fake yourself how could you get pleasure out of someone elses pain?
- Posted by CoryI’m a white 26yr. old male. I think Brooke White is
- Posted by Mike Ta total FAKE. And I can’t stand the stupid facial expressions she makes all the time. Yes a few songs sounded good.
but honestly believe she is a fake. She is a acting and those
facial expressions give it a away. Shes trying to hard. But
I can see through it because i know lots of girls her age and
thats how a few of them act in public but deep down they
are a different person. I was so happy when she got
her walking papers and enjoyed watching her cry. But
she turned her back at the end and walked away ryan
to the rescue where is all the stupid puppy eyes at now
Brooke! I’m going to sleep well tonight, Americans finally
got sick of her fake routine the end Oh by the way you missed
your sisters wedding for what?
BROOKE WHITE ABSOLUTELY SUCKS! i have no idea why she is still on the show she has no talent compared to the other remaining contestants.she has taken carly’s dream because there is no doubt that carly has more talent in her finger than brooke has in her whole body,but yet carly was sent home. we need to vote according to who has the most talent,and if we do brooke will definately be voted off. if she wins, i will never watch the show again and i feel bad for the other contestants who are much more talented if they continue to go home. simon babies her and tells her she did okay just because he likes blondes. so simon get a clue.
ps.
BROOKE SUCKS!
- Posted by lucyTo be honest,i dislike brooke white.She’s so immature.She even cries alot feeling no shame at all like needing a sympathy from everyone.Take a look at ramiele,kristy,and the other ladies that had been voted off.Yes,they cried too but not that kind of as pathetic like the needy of a ’sympathy looking’ face like brooke did,recently.Who cares if she’s good at playing at any instruments.This is about singing,people,and pitying her is unfair.How about the others who’d been kicked out but still got a very good voice too to listen?And who cares about her appearance.Singing is the priority,here.So what,if she’s good at her stage perfomance but what about the singing?It sucks,anyway.The other ladies who had been voted off had been more been done much more better than her.And who cares if she had been a nanny?What is this,an Oprah?Her personalities & all that i had stated above about what other people think of her,are all above nonsense!She completely screwed everything up!Make mistakes alot and dislike accepting comments from the judges and also,like to make that kind of dissapointing face and lips pouting out.What that does mean when she’s behaving like that?She also like to pointed out she’s this and that.Man,she’s the worst,lady singer of an AI7 i had ever seen!And i meant it!And then again,not all of her songs are so/very appropriate to her.She just loved to force her high note out and then lower down her voice back and again that even i couldnt hear some of the lyrics she sang a.k.a not so very clearly.Ok?And that’s so,so lame or just too,boring.Syesha is okay though,not that i like her but to compare it to brooke,forget it.To me brooke just nothing.She didn’t improved that much.And if syesha will be voted out next time,so what,it might not be her best luck but i m sure she could be a star one day,who knows when there’s a record company wants to deal with her.’coz you know what,she almost sound ‘nearly’ like a pro,and that’s,to me.At least,Syesha works and tried hard eventhough if one day she were to be kicked out.Even so far,the 3 judges voted her,song were so good.To be frank,previously,when i saw brooke everytime she looks like she wanted to be the center of anyone attention.That’s to my point.Overall,she sucks anyway eventhough she didn’t go.If she go,then i m sorry to say this but she should and must deserved it.
- Posted by KTThe one guy made a great point in that we should not say that we hate people. With that being said, watching Brook really annoys me and I do FEEL that she is not as sweet as some of you tink she is. At first, I too thought she was a breath of fresh air and feel that she is talented enough to be on AI. However, she is not better than Syesha or Carly. I also feel that her true colors came out a couple weeks ago with her body language during her critiques and her constant and might I add extremely annoying interjections… I was saying to myself, “SHUT THE HELL UP”. The week she messed up, she stood there frowning, with her head cocked to the side and bit on her lips the whole time. I wanted to smack her. In my opinion, I don’t see how an “all American girl” is not able to take LEGITAMIT criticisms with the some pride and dignity.
