Brooke White American Idol Love and All

Brooke Elizabeth White (born June 2, 1983) is an American indie pop/folk-pop singer-songwriter from Mesa, Arizona who was the fifth place finalist on the seventh season of American Idol. In 2005, White released her first studio album called Songs from the Attic. White's first post-Idol album High Hopes & Heartbreak was released on July 21, 2009. The first single "Hold Up My Heart" was released on February 25, 2009 and the song debuted at #47 on the Billboard Hot 100. The second single "Radio Radio" was released on June 23, 2009.

As I told you when we posted the Adam Lambert performance (of “Whataya Want From Me”) from last night’s American Idol, Brooke White & Justin Gaston also performed during the (double) elimination episode, delivering a duet of “If I Can Dream”. White, a former Idol contendee was on the piano while Gaston (who I’ve honestly never heard of) played the guitar. The week’s theme on American Idol was Elvis, and featured the aforementioned Lambert as the mentor for this season’s contestants.

We lost Andrew Garcia first, but it wasn't really too much of a shock. He'd been barely hanging on for weeks, and was most likely getting through on the strength of his earlier success. He was a favorite from the auditions, and once Hollywood week hit, he did the most amazing version of Paula Abdul's Straight Up, showing so much promise. But that was apparently the best he had in him. He failed to even come close to that for several weeks, but then had a good week singing Chris Brown's Forever, and a so-so week after this singing Can't Buy Me Love.
