AI Download of the Week: Let It Be by Brooke White

image This season, American Idol and iTunes have teamed up to give viewers a chance to download their favorite Idol's performance; both song and video are available to download. As a part of my "Download of the Day" post, here is my choice for AI Download of the Week.

This week's choice is Brooke White's gorgeous version of Let It Be. As I said in the recap post, singing a song that iconic is extremely difficult, but she pulled it off, to the say the least. I am proud to say that the studio version is as good, if not better, than the live performance. She keeps the amazing, simple arrangement, and her voice sounds clearer, while keeping a smidgen of grit in her voice that garners those comparisons to Carly Simon.

After hearing this wonderful studio version of an A+ performance, I can definitely call Brooke, with no doubt, a major contender for stardom, whether she wins the show or not.

Rating: 8.5/10
