im just lost for words...i dont think that there has been such good feeling talent since whitney houston...just cant put into words how unbelievable she can sing...if an angel could sing it would have to sound as good...it brings chills to me to see her sing...i could listen to her all day night...i love melinda doolittle
I liked Blake because of his originality, and Jordin was definitely a great singer, but Melinda should have won. She was by far the best singer in that season of American Idol, maybe in all of the seasons.
This incredible singer didn't win?!?!?!?! Crime! I hope she has managed to come up with a professional music career where people can appreciate her super talent! She is so gifted!
He means she should lose her surprise that she is a great singer. She should realize her incredible talent instead of acting as though she does not know she has it.
Melinda was so humble that she had it in her head that she was not as good a singer as everyone knows she is. Simon was telling her to acknowledge this fact.
@avatarzurc, he actually told Melinda to lose the whole "What, I'm a great singer?". That's what he meant- lose the suprise factor and own the fact that she was/is a bad ass performer with a bad ass voice.
she is so much more than just another great black voice. Something about here is different. I love her combo of confidence and humility. There was never a genre that caused her to stumble. Brilliant every time!!!
"There was this lady and I just heard her say Oh my God and ran towards me, so I was like what? and I ran!" LOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLL She soo deserved to win!!
C'mon, Simon, Melinda has been owning herself since Heaven Knows. ;-) He didn't need to say (4:06) "lose the surprise." Manners, please, sir? This performance was definitely the sassy-side of Ms. Doolittle. Please, please, please record this, Melinda! Your slower, funkier version (especially that breakdown at 2:49) will sell!! ;-)
@Mature:
I cannot enumerate the number of things wrong with your comment.

I never watched idol after the year of Melinda. Too frustrating when the obvious wasn't voted for. Very unfair.

I had trouble when he said "lose this great singer". He kept telling her to get more confidence and says that. WHAT DOES HE WANT???

She is my american idol. Nobody deserved that title more than her.

One of the qualities that sets her apart is her natural ability to modulate her voice in a controlled hold.
She would be awesome doing a little Ella. Especially with the likes of Micheal Buble out there resurrecting that good old music.

The thing is...
a performance like that says more about the frailties of American Idol than the Greatness of Melinda Doolittle.
WOW she shudda won AI6.
Further, the Great MD is good enough to win any and all AI Series ...!!!

Melinda is like a supernatural singer and performer. She can take any song and make it her own. I think she's one of greatest singers of all time.
