Season 7 Sneak Peek: Brooke White
Among our rumored Top 50 Season 7 contestants is Hollywood, Calif., resident Brooke White.
One look at her MySpace page suggests she plays the piano. In fact, one track on her MySpace site is a pop version of Aerosmith’s “Dream On,” and the piano is pretty solid. Kind of a white-girl Alicia Keys thing going on.
Vocally, she sounds pretty good, and I was partial to the tune “Free.” But her version of “Dream On” was a fairly decent arrangement in terms of the update she gave it. You never know if they do these things in their bedroom, dorm room or at an actual studio.
Not a terribly powerful voice, but she has a pop clarity that puts her in the realm of let’s say a Vanessa Carlton.
Like I noted when I posted something about Cardin Lee McKinney, our pre-Idol looks at potential Top 50 contestants isn’t scientific. I’m just checking out all the pages so you don’t have to and then detailing the ones that catch my ear.
If I had to compare her to McKinney, I’d say Cardin Lee is more soulful and polished. However, Brooke sounds a bit more unique, potentially, and if she plays the piano on these tracks, she could be that type of more-than-singer type of contestant who could really make a splash on Season 7, which officially begins in one week and six days.
Not that we’re counting.
