Who is that male artist named Stevie Knicks? I've never heard of him

[AJane]

She's not the first one to misspell the name of one of her "idols". I'm not sure whether to blame them or FOX, who should be editing this stuff.

I like Brooke very much - my number-one female pick. I think she's exactly what AI needs and has always lacked - a female vocalist that can keep it simple and melodic, not a Celine wannabe who's constantly straining for ear-piercing notes.

She is one of my favorites too. Really want to see her in the top 12 and advance.

Gorgeous blue eyes. I hope she's around for the long haul.

It's the male part that cracked me up. I'm a fan also.

[AJane]

Oh, pay me no mind, I'm just anal about spelling mistakes. Or maybe Brooke is actually a fan of the New York Knicks.

[Uncle David]

I like her. Reminds me of my youth for some reason. Has some of the qualities of the female singers in the Joni Mitchell era.

[felix]

I like Brooke as well. I think she's a breath of fresh air. Cheerful, charming and sincere.

Like Simon said, I really dig her Carly Simon/Carole King style of singing. We've already got a bunch of Rockers and Divas, I am definitely going to enjoy Brooke's easy listening music instead.

I sincerely hope she goes far!

Go Brooke!

There is a video of her on youtube at age 16 singing "Far Away" by Carole King.
