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?

46. TMZ, get your fact straight. You can't show a clip of her saying she forgot the words the first time because it never happened. She restarted for other reasons, she did not say on last nights show that she never restarted a song before.
Brooke is a talented girl who obviously finds the pressure hard to take.

47. Finally someone calls it as it is. Brooke is so phony..I am so sick of people saying that she keeps it real and she's genuine...SHE'S NOT!!!! Get rid of the pout- it's so annoying and immature.
Here's some advice for Brooke- when the judges are talking to you: Shut up and listen, don't talk over their voices.

Bye Bye Brooke.....you can't forget the lyrics on a live show and stop the entire show...who do you think you are?
Finally Paula said something smart.....I ususally don't understand Paula's comments- they don't make sense.

48. Come on TMZ... You are not being honest. She started off key with the first incident. Big difference!

49. Its just haters trying to come up with something negative thats all.... There is much more to complain about with David A and Jason for sure!

50. (Bye bye sad face).....Your speaking my language. Its good to see someone with a brain
in the comments section. Brooke White needs to go, See you later
Brooke...I'm counting down the hours till she is gone...

The show is to find the next great pop star, and guess what...YOU MESS UP (TWICE)...YOU DON'T DESERVE ANY SYMPATHY!!!

You know what your getting into with this show, its been 7 seasons. SHOW UP OR GO HOME....NO EXCUSES....

51. I'm not a religious person, but I am PRAYING that Jason Castro gets the boot. That boy can't sing, and the only reason he's still on there is because the young girls think he's cute. Give me a break people! When you watch the show, look away from the TV and listen, if you can picture hearing that voice on the radio, then the person deserves to stay. Jason should have been gone a few weeks ago.

52. TMZ needs to issue a retraction and apologize to Brooke. She was not lying. The previous time she started her song over was when she started on the wrong note, and as noted by all three of the judges that time she was smart to start over. This time she forgot the words, so her comment about not having done that before was correct.

53. she needs to be medicated- she has some serious emotional issues

54. #13 Brooke is not 40ish. SHe is 24 or 25. Do you ever watch the show? 40 something? Come on.

55. I don't care if this is the first time "the words got away from her", it IS the second time she's had to start over, for whatever the reason. It's unprofessional, I don't think it's cute, and I don't think she should keep getting a pass when the other contestants haven't had to start over.

56. I think Brooke sealed her fate last night. It's too late in the competition to be blanking out on lyrics. Though she doesn't have the talent to ever propel herself to #1 status, she's still very talented and will do well after this. Jason Castro? I'm a fan...and he was bad last night. Archuleta? I'm a fan....and he was boring last night. They all have their talents...but singing Webber isn't it.

I'm not a David Cook fan....but he did a nice job last night, and it was something totally different coming from him. WTG.

PS I still think Chikezie should release "She's A Woman" as a single!

57. I am NOT a fan of Brooke White...but! She did not forget the lyrics the first time. She started playing the piano in the wrong key. As a musician, it was easy to tell. She still sucked last night.

58. No matter what the reason is for her stopping and starting over again it isnt right...she is trying to show that she has what it takes to be a professional....obviously she doesnt have what it takes....i have worked in the music business for 22 years and if any of my bands or singers would stop and then start over again it would ruin the vibe of the show .... everyone makes mistakes..whether it is being off key or forgetting the lyrics , the bottom line is that both of these times with here on A I were HER fault....i liked her the first few weeks but she has gotten VERY annoying and needs to go....she talks down to and over the judges and she always has to have the last say in everything....she is the MOST ANNOYING contestant on A I in a very long time....
Bye Bye Brooke .... you had your 15 minutes and it is time to go home

59. Thank you TMZ!!! I couldn't believe that she tried to pull that lie off. She totally blew it with " Every Breath you Take". I don't care if she forgot the lyrics, or was off key....none off the other contestants have pulled that nonsense. Look at David A. when he forgot the lyrics. He was a total trooper and made it through. Why does Brooke White get to have do overs? I really don't think it's fair to the other people on the show.

60. Oh Please.

That WAS the first time she forgot lyrics.

On "Every Breath" she just missed her cue - she didn't forget the lyrics.

Idiots.
