Brooke is very likeable and great at certain songs that complement her voice and range, yet really shaky/pitchy at others. She has a nice voice that suits her well in a limited space. That is why I think she will do well in the future, but is not the next AI. David A is difficult to watch and seems disingenuous. I honestly do not like the sound of his voice. Jason -- how did he stay in so far???? Syesha is super talented, but more in a Broadway than AI style. David Cook can sing anything -- he has the makings of the next AI. I would buy his albums in a heartbeat.

Brooke White may have been voted off Wednesday's American Idol, but she still has one big fan: judge Paula Abdul.
"She's the real deal," Abdul told Entertainment Tonight after White's ousting.
White, 24, performed two Neil Diamond tunes, "I'm a Believer" and "I Am ... I Said."
Judge Simon Cowell called the first a "nightmare," but praised the second, saying, "This is the Brooke we like. Sitting behind the piano, singing a very good song."
Joining White in the bottom two: Syesha Mercado, 21, who sang Diamond's, "Hello Again" and "Thank the Lord for the Night Time."
After it was announced that White was going home, the teary castoff warned, "This is going to be terrible for me right now," before attempting to sing her goodbye song.
"Brooke White's tears come from the authentic, good soul that she is," Abdul said. "Her heart was breaking because she was overwhelmed with the experience she had with the show and the gift that it brought.
"The fact that Brooke didn't get through the last song and sing her way out is the only way it could have ended because that show is her true heart," Abdul added.
Tell Us: Should Brooke have gone home?

I hated to see Brooke go ! She would or will make a good country singer. I agree Jason should have been gone a long time ago. He is pathetic ! That hair should go toooo !!!! David Cook is ok but I would like to see Syesha win this one. She is cute, has class, and talented. She has had a hard time in her life and deserves a break. The other David is ok but he is not my favorite. Tries too hard. As if it matter's to most, this is being said by a white person !
no..!Brooke White is not suppose to come out..she has nice voice..tone..manners..!n if kelly clarkson won..why cant brooke win when she has a greater voice than kelly..?for me..even if brooke got eliminated..im sure i can always hear her songs..n im sure theres a record company tat will accept her..she always be my idol..who ever is the winner for American Idol season 7..i dnt think tat person will be OUR REAL idol this time..!!
I don't think it is that Brooke is whiny, she was just very grateful for the opportunity she was given. She has her own style of singing better then others. The truth is Jason should of been the one gone. But then I guess some people have forgotten this show is about singing talent. That being the case he should of never made it in the top 10.
YAY! Who cares about whiney Brooke. The girl is flucken glass, every week she would just break down, my goodness. There was NOTHING special about her. Paula needs to get off the pills. Doesn't she need to worry about her little mishap she had the other night? I'm glad Brooke's gone. Woot, woot!
Brooke White was an amazing and very natural-born story-teller! I hope to see her on more shows, CDs and videos than any other voted-off Idol over the past seven seasons.
Her powerful voice and story-telling ability will take her places! She is indeed a "real" American Idol!!
Listening to Brooke's goodbye "performance", we can't believe this is AMERICAN IDOL! Never have we heard such poor quality singing during the 7 seasons of this show, including all the emotional farewell performances. She simply didn't belong there and should have left during hollywood week.
Brooke was way to happy all the time, that is not normal! She was like a folkie, 60's, flower child. It was very much her time to fade back into the, peace & love, flower power, VW van, bohemien lifestyle, I picture her coming from.
Brooke is a beautiful girl and a great singer. I hated to see her go, but she just isn't cut out to be the American Idol. I HOPE JASON GOES NEXT!!!!!!! I'm tired of his singing and his dreads. He would be gone by now if it wasn't for the young girls keeping him in for his looks. THE SHOW IS ABOUT TALENT!!!! David Cook is the next American Idol!
5:57--you make absolutely no sense at all!!?
to all of you who are argueing about what color you are shut the heck up you people are just stupid every one in this world is born white so there for at some time or the other you were white if only for a few hours you were so shut the heck up. GOD made you be happy and just because you didnt make it to the idol show dont give you the right to say who has talent or not just vote for the one you like and stop being a racist dumbsh*ts and like someone else said its american idol you can watch or change the channel your choice you have that right in AMERICA!!!
Brook was amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope she achieves everything that she wants in the future!! I LOVE YOU BROOKE!!!!!!!!
I hated it that Brooke got sent home. She was one of my favorites. She has a bubbly personality and is a really good singer when she stays within her style. It should have been Jason, but he has too many teeny boppers voting for him. I thought he was awful. Brooke will become one of the big stars out of this group.
Eh, Brooke was ok from the videos I saw, even though she accidentally forgot her words to her song a week ago! So, it's sad to see her leave Idol and I'm sorry to hear that, but there's only 4 contestants left! Let the games begin!
No- we're not all Americans- some people like to be called African American even though they weren't born in Africa. Why don't you tell them to get over it?
4:35- thanks for the lecture but in case you didn't notice these comments are in response to an earlier post so regardless of what the topic of the article is we have every right to agree or disagree with other posts. And will you people please find a new word to use- "ignorant" is overplayed and why are people considered that b/c they have a different set of beliefs? Aren't we allowed to believe what we want to?
Hey people, give it a rest already!! We were talking about American Idol, not skin color, which by the way, really has no bearing on any of this. Need I repeat, AMERICAN idol. Isn't that what we all are. It's those kind of comments I've just read that keep the hate going and make it really hard for the rest of us that think your ignorant, but get catagorized with your stupid statements. ENOUGH!!!!!
4:08 Right on the money. Many different "groups" have faced injustice over the years but have moved forward and progressed. Even white ethnic groups- any recall what happened to the Irish?? Its time to put the past where it belongs- in the past.

Wow...
so much negativity... why are you guys talking about racism and sh*t when clearly its about american idol.. who gives a fuk..
I liked Brooke's voice but didn't feel it was as strong as a couple of the other contestants. I realize it was a disappointment for her last night, but I think also the drama was a bit much. As for Jason, I like his voice, but he seems to be feeling a little too laid back and tired for this competition! At this point, I really would like to see David Cook take it. He is very talented and seems to be able to sing anything they give him. I do think some of the others, including a couple that are already gone will be given a well deserved contract. Just because they've been voted off doesn't mean they can't have a singing career if they really want it bad enough!!!
JASON SUCKS BALLLLLLLLSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
DAVID COOK IS SEXY AND I LOVE HIS SINGING AWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
356- hey retard- Why don't you tell people like Al Sharpton and the Rev. Jesse Jackson that then? The Blacks are the one that are living in the slave era by constantly reminding us of what we did. There brains can't seem to get over it. There were lots of races that suffered- the Jews, the Chinese and many more. You know what they are doing? They're Doctors! Yes, I am a little bitter toward a society that thinks it's ok to call white people honkys and crackers, but it's not OK to call a black person a monkey, spook even though their own people do. Try to figure that one out. I'm so sick of blacks saying that they have no air time on TV- let's see- The Jeffersons, Amen, Different Strokes, Cosby show, Bernie Mac, and a channel that is nothing but blacks- BET!! I'm sick of blacks saying that there upbringing causes them to do their crimes and then scream racism when they're thrown in jail and finally I'm sick of ignorant people like you who ignore the problem when it's right there in your face.

Your comment is ignorant because it's racist, and it's not the truth. Why don't you crawl out of your little box and realize that it's 2008 and "the Blacks" as you call them are no longer slaves. They are good people, and they are equals. Race shouldn't be an issue in this country anymore, but because of ignorant people like you it is. Get over your white supieriorty already and like I said before GROW UP!
Sanjaya, I love your new dreadlocks.

11:15--Your comment is just as ignorant as 10:32's. GROW UP!!
Thank you previous poster. I do not think David A. is even half of what everyone makes him out to be besides I cannot see him in any genre except easy listening. He would never pull off rock or pop or even country. And that little boy smile seriously I know with girls and boys nowadays it seems great that he seems so nnocent but what 17-year-old boy actually stands there and says "I'm only 17" sorry he is too fake or he has been extremely sheltered.
David Cook has stepped it up and Castro is good when he wants to be but more of a school talent show good. White deserved to go she is not unique or original in fact she reminds me too much of a few out there right now that after listening to them a few times you change the station when the "bubbley" music comes on.
There is only 1 person worthy of any contract and that is Cook but it also because he is the only one I can see pulling it off.
10:32--Your comment is really ignorant because even if it did come down to the two Davids it wouldn't have anything to do with them being white BECAUSE DAVID A. IS NOT WHITE HE'S HISPANIC!!!! Maybe you should think a little more b4 you make stupid comments.

Paula is "drigidy" when she makes ANY statement.
