Bye Bye Brooke...

Tonight on American Idol we said goodbye to Brooke White.

I've actually always liked her alot, even though everyone called her too emotional and sensitive.
Well, isn't that sometimes a good thing?

She was too chatty when the judges were critiquing her, but I think that was just nervous energy.

Her standout performances were several weeks ago, when she performed a re-arranged, slow-groovin' 'Love is a Battlefield' on 80's week and a near-flawless version of 'Let it be' at the piano on Lennon/McCartney week 1.

She brought a real folksy-art sound to the show, one that I don't think we've seen up to this point from anyone else. A self-proclaimed major fan of Carly Simon, Carole King and James Taylor, that is exactly the kind of vibe I got from her.

I must admit I am anxious to see what she does after this, and if she manages to get a contract with a label. I wouldn't doubt it.

I, for one, would most likely purchase a cd of hers. I like her voice, and she seemed like a really decent person, even if she'd never seen an R-rated movie... I didn't know anyone over the age of 15 even fit into that category.

See ya, Brooke.
Good luck.

We're down to 4.
