Brooke sings "You Must Love Me" during Andrew Lloyd Weber & Broadway Tunes Week (22 April 2008) on AMerican Idol Season 7. (Look At My Channel For More)
I thinkwhat the world was doing this night was waitng to see her sing this beautiful tune only because Tim rice told her she has something there and if she pulls it off a star is born.so the worls was waiting listening with a heart beacuse they weree seeing a star being born for the future our love to you and a cd of tunes from the heart wil be made from you and seel tons of cds for christmas , love you and good luck!!!!!!!!!
Do you really love and adore Madonna? I have for over 2 1/2 decades now, I am not delusional about M's vocal abilities, she isn't nor did she claim to be Barbra Streisand. BUT, I feel that this performance is her best LIVE performance EVER! We all have the right to our own opinion, but, for someone who adores her to say she slaughtered this? I'd say have you heard it on something other than You Tube,the quality of the audio and video is terrible. We're seeing her in Philly CAN'T WAIT!
brooke is just an ordinary person. every human makes mistakes and we learn from our mistakes. brooke just did an amazing job and from that bravery brooke made it to the top. im so proud of you brooke... for keeping your chin up to the whole world.
She did not. Don't be affected by the start-stop that so many are talking about. She really did good in this song at least much better than her past 2 weeks. The full Brooke will be back.
Only Madonna can perform this song. She's the one it was written for. It's designed for Madonna's voice. This girl just doesn't have the same emotional attachment to it. Madonna sang this in the movie AND at live at the Oscars. It will always be Madonna's song.
American Idol is not just a competition, it's like a school! they are teaching these contestants to be a PROFESSIONAL SINGER! and if Brooke will do that every single time (which she had done twice), she should have a 2nd thought if she really wants to perform ON STAGE! pls Brooke don't make it habitual! I still think she rocks! but she has to find way to pull something up! especially now, that Carly is gone? this "BASHING_HER" won't stop, yet!
Tell me America, why is Brooke still there? She's now had to stop in the beginning of her song TWICE now. As a musician, I don't know why she hasn't left yet. She has the looks and the fake tears, and that's whats been keeping her in. Like Randy said during elimination night, it's turning into a popularity contest. If this were a singing competition without votes, Brooke would(or would already have been) kicked off the show.
what the heck??? this shoul've been voted off and not carly!!! goodness gracious! what's happening with you, americans? now, i just have to cheer for david cook ONLY! the only one left with great talent!
I love Brooke! I think she's one of the most beautiful people ever on the show, and I think she has the best all-around talent. Maybe she doesn't have a huge belting voice, but she has something much better than that, which is really interpreting the song and making you believe in it.
my mother knows brooke personally and i dont appreciate you people calling her names.. Yes she doesnt have the best voice but she IS a good artist and when she sings her own stuff she has passion and feeling...Of course broadway and other peoples styles arent her because....its not her style!she has her own.. But i do agree she needs to work on her rnage
to all those who are wondering why Itunes disabled brooke white because she was an american idol finalist but she has an album search songs from the attic on itunes they have it
I voted for Brooke like 200 times. She was really good I think. I don't know if people are deaf or something but she was good. I am sad thought that Carly has left. I think I like many others thought she would be safe and didnt vote for her
while she's singing she sounds and looks like she's about to cry bcuz she messed up but she did an AMAZING job i am watching the resluts and she is safe!!! yay!!!:p:p
If you agree that it is not a power song then power is not the issue here. As for passion, I think a lot of people here will disagree. For me, the 1st half got a lot of passion. The 2nd half she lost the tragedy focus a little by standing up.
I think she did the right thing. As a performer, if you lose your spot sometimes it's better to start over. Her singing was ok...I think she pulled off the 'emotional' side of the song.
When she sang 'Every Breath you take', it was the year they were born (theme), not beatles night. She didn't really mess up, she just began to sing in the wrong key, she didn't forget her lyric through.
She was on-key from the very beginning. The part she stopped on, she seemed to have forgotten a lyric and that section is very low, I'd have wanted to start over as well. She sounded great throughout though
Then do you agree that she should still be on the show? I understand that when you mess up it's embarrassing, but the whole point of performing is to become something that you're not.. she should have embodied her role as the singer who sung that song and just carried on... I cannot believe she is still apart of American Idol - and if you saw her on the night of the elimination, she knew, she KNEW she shouldn't have still been there, Carly was amazing!
The pressure of performing week after week can be taxing. Thus that's what this show is about, who can take it and ride it better than anyone else. For that I think there were better performers than her on this show
I am happy she was safe. She is a good singer. She probably was so nervous to be great. The great thing about her is that she shows her feelings when she sings like David Archuleta.
I think she did it quite well. People keep remembering the forgotten lyrics, but this is really a very difficult song; she was very courageous in coming back strong the way she did; I like her a lot and think she will go on in something related to music.
Brooke, what I'm think last night you going to Eliminate, the way I look in your eyes, and you surprise what the vote. You are still there, I wish you will get on the TOP. GOOD LUCK BROOKE Joel
guys there is this talented Philippine singer named Lea Salongga. Hear her version of this song. I think its far better.- Lea Salonga - You Must Love Me from Evita (live)
As much as I like Brooke (& I think she's a great person!), this in not a "nice" contest! She clearly showed that she can't handle the pressure! YOU NEVER STOP A LIVE PERFORMANCE! That alone should have gotten her the boot! A true contender got the boot! That's what's not fair!!! Sorry Brooke, you have to go!
With such segmentation, the difference of votes can rest on thin margins so erratic swings are very frequent this year except for david.a with a huge young girl base.
I was sad for Brooke, I really like her a lot! I couldn't even watch I had to turn away, I felt to bad. I hope she doesn't go, but I think she might =(
A clearly moving but controversial performance (due to her start-stop). I liked the bonding/banter with Andrew Lloyd Webber (very instructive). It's good to be reminded (as a viewer) that the "feeling" of the song is just as important as the "voice." Knowing the backstory, Brooke's beginning is somewhat fitting (because the character is dying/emotional) and theatrical. Paula's feedback was beneficial/on-target. Madonna made this a power-house; Brooke made this touching. Overall, a good job!
I thought she did it beautifully three years ago. And listening to it now, its still an amazing performance. Heart and soul shining right through, isnt that what its all about? Passion?! I love her, I still love her! F#@k Simon!
really, brooke isnt as bad as you guys say. she really has tender and emotion in her voice. althought i agree wif you guys carly should of not left before her. it sould of been jason - brooke - carly - syesha - archuleta and wiiner cook =] but american idol is always fucked up so wow
he's thinking in his head "mwuhahaha i don't care because i'm making money!" then all phantom phans bash in their heads as he sits down to present us with Love Never Dies great. . .
Poor Brooke. But I think it wasn't that bad starting over because it would've been more painful trying to watch her finding it again, you know? Good job, Brooke. I thought the vocals were good, to be honest. She sang like she meant it. Emotionally, it was great, and vocally, she sang from her diaphragm. I liked it. Not her best, but not her worst. Love you, Brooke. At this point, it's anyone's game, so I wouldn't be surprised if she was going this week. :(
This is my favorite performance of season 7! I still can't get it out of my head.
Same here!
god i remember watching this, i gasp soo loud when she stopped lmao.
My goodness, I felt the emotion, I was moved to tears! That was amazing!!!! Despite the beginning she should stay!
I thinkwhat the world was doing this night was waitng to see her sing this beautiful tune only because Tim rice told her she has something there and if she pulls it off a star is born.so the worls was waiting listening with a heart beacuse they weree seeing a star being born for the future our love to you and a cd of tunes from the heart wil be made from you and seel tons of cds for christmas , love you and good luck!!!!!!!!!
GO Brooke! She has an awesome voice and she is a sweet girl! It was a good lesson for her to learn and she will be in fine form next week!
actually i've had a lot of concerts and recitals, and i've stopped only one time. it happens sometimes. just get over it. shes great!
i cannot believe she stays and carly goes home. what a popularity contest
Do you really love and adore Madonna? I have for over 2 1/2 decades now, I am not delusional about M's vocal abilities, she isn't nor did she claim to be Barbra Streisand. BUT, I feel that this performance is her best LIVE performance EVER! We all have the right to our own opinion, but, for someone who adores her to say she slaughtered this?

LOVE that movie!!! Most people would have appreciated her performance much more if they would have seen the movie or the play
This is a song of someone dying, wanting love, not a power song.
She did not. Don't be affected by the start-stop that so many are talking about. She really did good in this song at least much better than her past 2 weeks.
The full Brooke will be back.
I totally agree.
YES
Jeeeeez!!! this is the second time that she screw it man...and people keep voting for her.
awsome
Besides I don't ever see anyone else on American Idol taking on any of Madonna's songs? It took balls and she did it!
I think those are genuine tears. Her personality shows it.
Only Madonna can perform this song. She's the one it was written for. It's designed for Madonna's voice. This girl just doesn't have the same emotional attachment to it. Madonna sang this in the movie AND at live at the Oscars. It will always be Madonna's song.

I still think she rocks! but she has to find way to pull something up! especially now, that Carly is gone? this "BASHING_HER" won't stop, yet!
communicated.. yeah.. communicated through the song, to the voters, that she must be loved.. even though she shouldn't be..
Tell me America, why is Brooke still there? She's now had to stop in the beginning of her song TWICE now. As a musician, I don't know why she hasn't left yet. She has the looks and the fake tears, and that's whats been keeping her in. Like Randy said during elimination night, it's turning into a popularity contest. If this were a singing competition without votes, Brooke would(or would already have been) kicked off the show.
Yess! Andrew is fantastic. I lovee the musical Evita
Regardless of what happened, I love this performance, so heart-felt.
brooke is amazing!!! keep it up!
Great American Idol will miss Brooke
Well done... she bravE... Thats make me love her more.... White... you go gurl......
What a great singer :)
yup!
what the heck??? this shoul've been voted off and not carly!!! goodness gracious! what's happening with you, americans? now, i just have to cheer for david cook ONLY! the only one left with great talent!
Everything aside, her voice on this is beautiful. I cannot get enough of the studio version.
I love Brooke! I think she's one of the most beautiful people ever on the show, and I think she has the best all-around talent. Maybe she doesn't have a huge belting voice, but she has something much better than that, which is really interpreting the song and making you believe in it.

But i do agree she needs to work on her rnage
no i will not shut up she is gone and i am happy that now i can watch it without turning the channel when she performs...
thank youuu. I totally agree.
Oh my God...that was freaking hilarious! GREAT comment!
yeah i agree
What a Queen ❤
to all those who are wondering why Itunes disabled brooke white because she was an american idol finalist but she has an album search songs from the attic on itunes they have it
Finally!!! I totally agree with you man!
she's awesome. GO BROOKE!
she told the story and grabbed you in to the story of the song.
at the end of the day, the one with the highest vote wins...even if they're not that gifted.
Although it's in bad taste that is the funniest comment I've seen here so far!
I voted for Brooke like 200 times. She was really good I think. I don't know if people are deaf or something but she was good. I am sad thought that Carly has left. I think I like many others thought she would be safe and didnt vote for her
her studio version is FANTASTIC
I believe that American Idol should have a theme one night where they can sing one of thier originals and show America what they really can do.
I totally agree GO BROOKE GO!!!
while she's singing she sounds and looks like she's about to cry bcuz she messed up but she did an AMAZING job i am watching the resluts and she is safe!!! yay!!!:p:p
If you agree that it is not a power song then power is not the issue here.
As for passion, I think a lot of people here will disagree.
For me, the 1st half got a lot of passion. The 2nd half she lost the tragedy focus a little by standing up.
I think she did really cool.
Greeting s from Europe, Romania, Baby.
The theme wasn't Broadway showtunes, it was songs written by Andrew Lloyd Webber.
I think she did the right thing. As a performer, if you lose your spot sometimes it's better to start over.
Her singing was ok...I think she pulled off the 'emotional' side of the song.
I love her raspy husky voice
you are just straight up^ P.A.T.H.E.T.I.C.
Oh God her breath control... "You must *breath* love me"
I'm surprised by how nice Simon actually was to her.
When she sang 'Every Breath you take', it was the year they were born (theme), not beatles night. She didn't really mess up, she just began to sing in the wrong key, she didn't forget her lyric through.
@LittleMissLar yeah but there was no "you must love me" on stage, it is a song from the movie check it somewhere
me toooo
That was so funny.
She has such a pretty voice :-)
I DID say something good . . . about a REAL American Idol!
She was on-key from the very beginning. The part she stopped on, she seemed to have forgotten a lyric and that section is very low, I'd have wanted to start over as well. She sounded great throughout though
Andrew Lloyd Webber DID compose the song for the EVITA movie. He won an oscar for it in 1997.
Get your information right!
Me too
i totally agree!
i don't know about her past performances but i thought it was very brave of her to continue to sing after she messed up.
Then do you agree that she should still be on the show? I understand that when you mess up it's embarrassing, but the whole point of performing is to become something that you're not.. she should have embodied her role as the singer who sung that song and just carried on... I cannot believe she is still apart of American Idol - and if you saw her on the night of the elimination, she knew, she KNEW she shouldn't have still been there, Carly was amazing!
The pressure of performing week after week can be taxing. Thus that's what this show is about, who can take it and ride it better than anyone else. For that I think there were better performers than her on this show
safe!, SAFE!, safe!, Safe!, yay yay yay yay i am still shaking
yes, she is :)
thank you :)
I am happy she was safe. She is a good singer. She probably was so nervous to be great. The great thing about her is that she shows her feelings when she sings like David Archuleta.
I think she did it quite well.
People keep remembering the forgotten lyrics, but this is really a very difficult song; she was very courageous in coming back strong the way she did; I like her a lot and think she will go on in something related to music.
Actually, Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber wrote it for the movie version of Evita. Madonna was the first to sing it.
Brooke, what I'm think last night you going to Eliminate, the way I look in your eyes, and you surprise what the vote. You are still there, I wish you will get on the TOP.
GOOD LUCK BROOKE
Joel
guys there is this talented Philippine singer named Lea Salongga. Hear her version of this song. I think its far better.- Lea Salonga - You Must Love Me from Evita (live)
no way..not carly!!!
this blonde the one who should going home!!!
i love her dress
lol couldnt have said it better myself
shes demented, giving me goosebumps
true
As much as I like Brooke (& I think she's a great person!), this in not a "nice" contest! She clearly showed that she can't handle the pressure! YOU NEVER STOP A LIVE PERFORMANCE! That alone should have gotten her the boot! A true contender got the boot! That's what's not fair!!! Sorry Brooke, you have to go!
Well said!
She sing the pain and emotions in a song. Not just going for the high notes. I think slowly more people will get it.
I totally agree. I can't believe they both stayed and Carly is out.
she did an excellent job.. despite stopping/starting.
With such segmentation, the difference of votes can rest on thin margins so erratic swings are very frequent this year except for david.a with a huge young girl base.
I was sad for Brooke, I really like her a lot! I couldn't even watch I had to turn away, I felt to bad. I hope she doesn't go, but I think she might =(
Even after she forgot the lyrics I think she did it well; I am glad she wasn't voted off after that night.
one should never, ever start again! Very famous saying "the show muct go on!"
Every professional should know to keep going and NEVER stop during the song.
shane73607 Adele is a Tammy winning artist that restarts lol
please elaborate.........
A clearly moving but controversial performance (due to her start-stop). I liked the bonding/banter with Andrew Lloyd Webber (very instructive). It's good to be reminded (as a viewer) that the "feeling" of the song is just as important as the "voice." Knowing the backstory, Brooke's beginning is somewhat fitting (because the character is dying/emotional) and theatrical. Paula's feedback was beneficial/on-target. Madonna made this a power-house; Brooke made this touching. Overall, a good job!
ImmortalMathias, if you dont have anything good to say, dont say anything at all!
how did it go?
I thought she did it beautifully three years ago. And listening to it now, its still an amazing performance. Heart and soul shining right through, isnt that what its all about? Passion?! I love her, I still love her!
F#@k Simon!
OMG, I remember this. I felt so embarrassed for her. I had a hard time watching this over again.
really, brooke isnt as bad as you guys say. she really has tender and emotion in her voice.
althought i agree wif you guys carly should of not left before her.
it sould of been
jason - brooke - carly - syesha - archuleta
and wiiner cook =]
but american idol is always fucked up so wow
he's thinking in his head "mwuhahaha i don't care because i'm making money!"
then all phantom phans bash in their heads as he sits down to present us with Love Never Dies
great. . .
Poor Brooke. But I think it wasn't that bad starting over because it would've been more painful trying to watch her finding it again, you know? Good job, Brooke. I thought the vocals were good, to be honest. She sang like she meant it. Emotionally, it was great, and vocally, she sang from her diaphragm. I liked it. Not her best, but not her worst. Love you, Brooke. At this point, it's anyone's game, so I wouldn't be surprised if she was going this week. :(
