  • VIDEO Q&A: Is Brooke White Still a Believer? | The Great American Idol Blog | 5/7/2008
    When Brooke White stopped by the other day, there were no trademark tears to be seen. Rather, we welcomed the arrival of a sunny blonde still riding the high of her Top 5 run. In this TVGuide.com video Q&A, Brooke talks about Carly Simon's amazing endorsement, the disparity between the guys' and gals' fan mail, and whether she would have (or even could have) braved Idol sans her piano and guitar. — Matt Mitovich read more
  • Brooke White: Surviving Idol | The Great American Idol Blog | 5/1/2008
    After a tearful exit from the Idol competition at the edge of its final frontier, Brooke White is nothing but grateful for the experience she had on the show, and knows that she's a survivor. Speaking to press Thursday, White confided that she'd had her bags packed for two weeks before she was actually voted off the show Wednesday night. But when she woke up Wednesday morning, she said, she knew that it was her final day. "Weird, I know" she admitted, but somehow, she was right. On Tuesday, she took to the piano and the guitar for two Neil Diamond songs, the first of which, "I'm a Believer," Simon deemed "a nightmare." Despite the fact that White recovered nicely for her second song, "I Am, I Said," it wasn't enough to save her another week. "Boom, it hit me" she says of the moment of truth. "This is over." Racing her through her mind as the tears ran down her cheeks was "the fear of going back into the real world, and what does the future hold?" She told reporters, "I hoped so... read more
  • Episode Recap: The Top Four Revealed! | American Idol | 5/1/2008
    OK, so let's face it; last night was as boring as whale sh-t. Bet you didn't know whale shizzle was boring, but it is. And last night's show almost made it seem interesting. And was it me, or did Neil Diamond not make the greatest mentor? Or maybe they just cut it all out for time's sake. Either way, I was disappointed. Tonight, the Idols begin with a medley of ND songs, starting off with snooze-fest Jason Castro singing "Cracklin' Rose." However, the others come in with some awesome harmony which saves the song. They keep going with more songs and end with their hands in the air like they're the Osmonds or Bradys. It's weird and stagey. So, moving on....Ryan points out that Constantine and Gina are in the audience... not just to say, "Hi," but to pimp out their new American Idol post-show gig for Fox. Ugh. Next. Then we get a recap of last night's performances. Wow. In an unusual move by Idol and Seacrest, they address the rumors about Paula's behavior last night (basically,... read more
  • Carly Simon: Brooke Sings "So Much Better Than I Ever Did" | The Great American Idol Blog | 4/30/2008
    Though finalist Brooke White has had her share of missteps the past few weeks, she was an early favorite of the judges after her Top 20 performance of Carly Simon's "You're So Vain." Now, Ms. Simon is doing the judging, and she says Brooke is the best contestant left on the stage.Simon tells the AP that she began tuning in when she heard about White's performance of her 1973 No. 1 hit. "I thought, 'Oh my god, this girl is so talented and she sings the song so much better than I ever did or ever could,'" Simon says. "I was so flattered that she chose the song and... more than impressed. I think she should win."Unfortunately for Brooke, the Simon who gets his say in front of the millions of Idol viewers each week called White's stiff performance of "I'm a Believer" on Tuesday night's Neil Diamond-themed outing a "nightmare." Maybe she caught a case of Carly Simon's legendary stage fright?Only Wednesday's results show will determine which Simon the American public agrees with. What do... read more
  • Episode Recap: The Top Five Perform | American Idol | 4/30/2008
    Hey guys! So, it's Neil Diamond night, and I've had "Sweet Caroline" in my head all freakin' day. Thanks a lot, Neil! P.S., my husband says we're related to Mr. Diamond. Yeah, I'll believe that when I get front row seats to his concert!Ryan introduces the top five: Syesha looks amazing, Brooke looks like someone's mom from the Jersey Shore out for a night of gambling at the Taj Majal, and everyone else looks decent. Why does Brooke insist on dressing like either an old lady or a fairy princess? Please explain. Tonight, the Idols will be singing two Diamond songs so buckle up and enjoy the ride. The contestants gather around the piano and Neil tells them not to be nervous, that the songs are meant to be enjoyed. That's cool. Ryan tells us that the contestants will be judged after their second song. That's kinda annoying. We'll see how it works.Jason Castro, "Forever in Blue Jeans:" OK, I know a lot of you love Jason, and I used to dig him, but how is he still here? Really, he should... read more
