Little (Brooke) White Lies

After last night's disastrous, forgetful performance, Brooke White said the words had never gotten away from her on "Idol" before ... oh really? Because it felt like Groundhog Day to us.


Nothing like fibbing for a little sympathy to get a few extra, much needed votes, right?

16. Last night was the first time I've seen anything approaching humility from Jason Castro. Glad to see it. He was acting so cocky before. I still think the only reason he's still on is because of his gimmick: the dreds. He has no personality and no voice. I hear better singers in the elevator.

17. She didn't lie. The first time she restarted a song was because she started in the wrong key, not because she had forgotten the lyrics.

18. Come on all that stress and long hours rehearsing would make me forget the whole song. Why so are people so critical when they are on the outside looking in.

19. Well, at least she didn't talk over the judges last night like she usually does. She must have heard that people don't like that. I think she will be going home tonight.

20. Did anyone else think she completely imitated Madonna's performance of the song, right down the breathy, "I'm soooo dying of cancer" voice?

21. She sucks more than any contestant ever. Imagine going to a concert and this happening twice. She needs to be voted off. Whenever you mess up a song, its the lyrics, if it was the arrangement, you altar your performance to meet the arrangement and then fix it from there. She sucks, if she isn't voted off the show is rigged. SHe should have been out earlier and then she would have been able to go to her sisters wedding.

22. it isn't a lie. The first time she started again was to get the proper pitch with the piano, it had nothing to do with forgetting the lyrics.

24. Brooke White did NOT forget the words the first time, her timing was off that is why she started over. And if you are going to criticize her, then do it because she is just not the best one out there. She is great, she has an amazing voice, but Carly and David Cook are the two best. She is genuinely a sweet girl, people are so hateful and nasty and judgemental these days, it is great to see someone who is sincerely a nice person.

25. she didn't forget the lyrics with "every breath" she started too high and had to readjust her pitch.

26. She didn't lose the words for every breath you take, she started out on the wrong key and started over, bigggggggg difference!!!! come on tmz.... get it right!

27. She didn't forget the lyrics the first time, you idiots.

For whatever reason, she started and stopped. I actually thought that she was really good last night.
Who gives a damn if she started and stopped. It's a live show. Things happen.

And I don't think that she was doing it for attention or sympathy, I think that she's nervous.

I can't believe how petty TMZ can get. Must be a slow news day!

28. I've really wanted Brooke to do well. She seems so nice. I have to finally admit that she really doesn't sing all that great. Probably time for her to go. And get rid of Jason Castro already!! Gawd! I'd love to see Archuletta go, too - but only because his frog smile annoys the crap out of me.

29. The first time she was off key. Last night she forgot the lyrics. Either way, she is not going to win. There are 4 other contestants that have a better voice (Jason does not). It will be Brooke or Jason leaving tonight.

30. In March she didn't forget the lyric, she started on the first wrong note, and restarted. Watch the clip, the judges acknowledge this. It wasn't forgotten lyrics. Now last night, is different, the lyric was gone. But giving her credit the for the march slip. Let's not forget, You all love David A, and he missed a lyric earlier in the season too, while in the top 12.
