Melinda Doolittle - Have a Nice Day Studio Version

[MKcousins]

Is this song on I-tunes? Her version of it is awesome! :)

[jesuesrulez]

My choir teacher had her as a student when Melinda was in the 7th grade she is a good singer!!!!

[daysleeper236]

I added this to my playlist of tracks that remind me of THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO.

[illidnarg]

melinda is terrific at singing rock--i never "got" this Bon Jovi Song until i heard Melinda sing it

[gotagetonup]

You go girl!!! and Have a nice day!! Cuz you rock!!!

[dcguy68]

her live performance of this was better...edgier!

[hpnhpluv]

Imo, her most amazing Idol performance... actually, quite possibly the only performance I truly remembered from season 6 (besides the disaster that was sanjaya, lol)

[MrProdigy555]

:D hahaha agreed!

[Nhasings4u]

what about lakisha jones' aint a love song?

[liviamyscene]

great voice; and i love this song and bon jovi

[chickenjeff86]

this lady is awesome! dont know who she is< dont watch american idol but i give her credit man! shes singing a great song and doin an awesome job! how many people can sing bon jovi this good?

[JJN259]

More proof that Melinda can sing ANYTHING! She is outstanding. Anyone who doesn't think so, just doesn't understand the complexity of singing and music. Then again, look at the crap that is selling millions and you'll see why.

[54spiritedwill54]

The Bon Jovi songs are on iTunes as the contestant's EPs.

[megzolatte123]

!!!!!

[Jordyboy101111]

are u jokin' me !!! she was awesome! she coulda won...are u craZ?

[foxybitch123456]

im sorry you are completely bad at understanding music .. its like your saying beyonce is bad at singing .. go die while you can =.=''and never ever listen to music ever again .. you have no friends and please dont reply back .. you talk bullcrap you piss me off

[AmericanIdolMedia]

Have A Nice Day

[selina366]

she sang this song the best on idol!!!!! go melinda!!!!!!

[daddyslilgrl01]

love this song

[Mitsukii13]

Personally, I think this studio version was better than her stage performance. But she was pretty great both times. :]

[ClappingForChlamydia]

this woman is amazing.

proof that american idol is a piece of crap. there is no way someone as talented as melinda should come in 3rd anywhere. (maybe if she were in a competition with aretha franklin and tina turner)

[agnesmoorhead]

Brilliant. Melinda should have taken Season 6 - she was the BEST!

[ravenhearst2090]

melinda can rock? oww man she sure is...

[xxIceWiccanxx]

She reminds me in places of Tina Turner.

[lama2233]

i love her oh my gosh you go girl

[lordtever]

is this new material? awesome

[winegrate]

This is the studio version of Have A Nice Day by Bon Jovi.

[afonyassuti]

Wow!! she is so perfect!! (altough i love more this song by bon jovi)

[lucyrocks954]

That's a great song!

[LittleCloserBoi]

The studio version is just amazing. Her live voice is amazing, but her studio voice is just like WOW. That's all I can say is wow.

[greatlytouched]

wow. This woman can sing country, gospel, jazz, and even heavy metal! What talant!

[AtherasBlack]

AWESOME RESPECT !!!

[joejoefireguy]

sounds good to mee

[AshleyTisdale9711]

holy shit, why the fuck didn't she win Idol? Jordin can't sing a quarter of what Melinda can!

[samboraisgod2000]

what a cop-out in the solo!!!!!

no where near as good as bon jovi (but then it really shouldnt be)

[joshualife]

I can't stop listenig to this song :)

[PawsoH]

MELINDA ROCKS!

[dededock14]

bon jovi is awsum but melinda...wow.  she's not as good but they wood rly put on a great show 2gether.

[thehbss]

Melinda has a dream of a voice... always on key, marvellous phrasing, with the chemistry of a true Star.

With her warmth and gentle wit she is far more than just a singer. She beguiles her audiences. Mere CDs do not do her justice. We fans want her to entertain us LIVE...!!

[xxanothrxxstoryxx]

The Bon Jovi songs are on iTunes as the contestant's EPs.

[violetvelvet]

It is =D

If you search Melinda Doolittle it lists all of them on the search page. Well, it used to be on there anyways. I bought it off iTunes : P

[hakkinen001]

where can i download the studio version of this song by melinda?? i sooo love it... help..

[hakkinen001]

aside from the EP on itunes??

[linelu235]

Love you Melinda...you are AMAZING. =)

[luvergurl42]

AGREEDDDDDDD

[MitchellCx]

That week she was then my favorite.

[trididos]

An "EP" (extended play) is a recording of several singles, yet is not a complete album.

[Beyoncefeatshakira]

do you know where ot get this on download?

[hobubu1]

That was incredible... Melinda is incredible... Melinda should have truly won american idol. If she ever comes out with a C.D, this song should be on it...

[xxxthoughtlessxxx]

She has an EP on Itunes. Her version of Have A Nice Day is on her iTunes EP.

[Beyoncefeatshakira]

help! whats an EP on itunes?

[xxxthoughtlessxxx]

I think a preview album or something. I have no idea.

[ShadowofSora12]

... Not to be racist or anything! But most black female and male artists cannot sing any Rock too well. ^^; But Melinda pulls it off so well.

[idolfreak43]

Amazing. I can't wait for her album.

[mojo9988]

Sounds better live...studio version is over produced.

[osahju914]

All the other singers were helped by their records, except KiKi, Jordin, and Gina. Melinda still soundest best live! The record does not do her justice!

ROCK ON MELINDA!

[theforeman118]

actually. this song should be put out as a single for bon jovi, with melinda as guest vocals for a duet. i think it could definitely work.

[xXXModelActorXXx]

he already put it out so I don't think that he would re-release it anytime soon.

[theforeman118]

haha holy shit. she is the only black female modern artist to day who could pull a record like this.

[linelu235]

The only person ever who sounds even better live!!!

[xxxthoughtlessxxx]

Some auto-tuned singers sound amazing live.

[astar1964]

I kind of like Bon Jovi, but I never could get into this song because i couldn't understand the words. Melinda sings it and all the words are clear, I understand it and i love it.

[themanhootch]

Love it. She can rock. She completely won over all the judges on AI, as she did the country. The only reason she was not in the finals is that the vote for singers was split by the presence of two versus one in vote grouping. She missed the final by a sliver. She will be a superstar.

[xxxthoughtlessxxx]

I hate the studio version. It sounds NOTHING like Melinda and it sounds auto-tuned :(

[raphaellezw]

what a amazing voice!!!

[xxxthoughtlessxxx]

Can you believe some people think Blake sings better than Melinda AND LaKisha????

[DSquaredDude]

Where do you get this????

[marymla]

They have blocked the video of this performance, for some reason that had to do with ethics. It would be nice to know who spoiled it for the rest of us to watch it again.

[fick09]

definately the BEST singer in american idol history.....it's not even close

[soccerguy5887]

actually Melinda comes in a close second to Jennifer Hudson...after those 2 its not even close.

[jimmytheclutch]

I guess a dolt of a "beat boxer" rules! I hate the fact that she is gone. I can't wait to buy her albums!

[nudebeme]

oh man i thought they didnt have these studio versions! i wonder if they have all of her songs in full recordings

[berkeleygirlie]

where are these from and where does one get this from? is this from AI or a cd or something? please explain. thanks!

[idoltyler06]

I believe he/she gets it buys the downloads off americanidol . com and puts them on here out of generosity. Thanks melindafans for postin this

[XlookitsChantelleOX]

what does "studio version" mean?

[xxxthoughtlessxxx]

A song that was recorded in the studio.

[m7221]

Melinda should not back away from songs like this.  She is able to get that edge in her voice that makes you really listen. What a great singer......

[beaverboy96c]

Great singer... will buy her albums as soon as they come out.

[NateL72]

she's going to get a deal!! COME ON dude...she is the best and she will deff be selling records for a long time!! Honestly Eliott Yamin deserved to be in the finale last year but he was shafted and Taylor won. Elliot is doing better than Katherine AND TAYLOR!

[idolseason]

I agree ckhuerckh. BLake sexyPants SUCKED! no Dahhhhhh. he don't desevere it ok

I'm living [that means you or someone is MAD]

[ckhuerckh]

LETS BOYCOT VOTING NEXT WEEK's FINAL TWO (2)...Lets stand up for Melinda and justice. DO NOT VOTE...DO NOT WATCH AMERICAN IDOL next week! Fuck the show! Its rigged....Just like last year and Taylot Hicks! Switch to NBC's America's got talent!

[DallasVideos]

Great statement! I know I'm officially done with AI:(

Melinda so totally overpowered everyone else. Thanks for this version of a great song. :)

[carrieunderwood325]

It is SO sad that she went home. i felt sick to my stomach when i hered that she was going home. The only reason why she went home is because jordin had all of her high school voting for her. Blake had all those little hormonal girls voting for him. and Melinda had people that truly know what good music and a what a great voice she has. i guess that we have No hope for older people winning American Idol now!!! i am going to be even more pissed if she does not get a record deal.I LOVE MELINDA

[hubluwitimer]

one high school doesn't help. That is not why Jordin got on though. But she should of totally one though. I don't really care about the finale anymore.

[thegmangrant]

I love Melinda's singing. She is good a rock and soul!

[guitarfreak8906]

she is simply amazing

[1jammot]

Quite simply extraordinary. I really would buy a whole album of Rocking Melinda, it is seriously good stuff.

[jimmytheclutch]

I believe we have a winner!

[hubluwitimer]

Unfortunately no, for some unusual reason.

[thehbss]

A Star is born. Melinda is a joy to watch and listen to - compelling - versatile and wide-ranging. Well prepared, professional. She has great phrasing, AND we can hear every word. Very charming and attractive Unassuming and warm. Time will say she IS one of "The all-time great singer-performers"

[born2sing2theworld]

She does an OUTSTANDING JOB with this song! I REALLY, REALLY LIKE IT -- !

[Icycheetah01]

She is one of the only singers in the world that gices me chills when she sings, and singing this song well i heard it last week, I'll still tryin to come back to earth

GO MELINDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mzzh]

she's 100X better live. how rare is that? i cannot wait to see her one day. i would shell out the bucks to be up close

[mariahfan444]

Wow...I think she's the first singer since Mariah/Celine/Whitney in their prime to sound just as good in live as in recording! However, what makes live more edgy is that you see how she delivers the song. You feel as if she wrote every song she performed.

[ikarinokami]

I agree with you guys. She always sounds better live, I think it's that adrenline she has going. They should make all her studio stuff live recordings.

[kcgirlgeek]

I agree that the live version has more EDGE to it, but OMG...is there NO genre this woman can't sing?! If she doesn't win AI...I think my years of watching it are over. I will lose faith that it has anything to do with choosing the most talented. With years of music training behind me, I can say with complete confidence...she is vocally near PERFECT. Amazing.

[w9c6847JuniorJunior]

she's gonna BLOW when row row row your boat night comes I swear. Other than that .. I'm a Jordan fan but Melinda sealed the deal in in her own words, she's not that comfortable with. Off the scale live performance but thx for this studio mix. I didn't know there were studio mixes.

[julianvelasquez]

There's not going to be a row row row your boat night :) Only a "Melinda Doolittle" night. And "Melinda Doolittle" night is every night.

[mangler]

Agreed. Just nearly flawless. I get chills.

[dl3pod]

All I can say is I can't wait for her cd to come out. I will definitely be buying it!

[Mitchellenium]

that is still good even though it is not as good as when she was live on tv

That should make sense... i think.

[SebaRasta]

I usually prefer her live versions rather than the studio ones but the studio version of Have A Nice Day is amazing too

[nhflca44]

Phenominal.

[Mitchellenium]

well put.

[Mitchellenium]

jeez i hate when its not next to the comment i replied too. now it makes no sense when other people see it

[janesnoname]

she is the best ever on AI. Bring it on, Melinda. You have a stellar talent.

[mzzh]

love it, but the live version was much more powerful. hey, name one AI contestant BETTER live than her?? none. they might be able to groom their performances for CDs but Melinda is better live than on CD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SpoookiePoookie]

oh yeah

[melindafans]

I agree 100000000000%

I find it weird that she is better live.

The recordings seem to take away the personality and passion she puts into a song.

and live is just sooo much better.

[1jammot]

That is the major sign of greatness. She can do her thing without the "help" of sound tweakers, her concerts will be as great as can be; her concert DVDs are going to sell somthing crazy. The studio engineers are going to have to work to keep the freshness, and use advantageously her obvious empathy with the musicians. She must be such a joy to work with, always doing exactly the right thing.

[vanblue2003]

we'll look at it this way - she's one of those artists that you can buy the cd from, and is even more worth paying to see her live. many artists are like that...thats the reason for good concerts! :)

[jhtrico1850]

I liked this because she didn't hack up no saliva, but the performance was better live.

[freddieadu9]

her or jordin or blake all the way

i agree with that dude who's moving. If lakisha wins i'm gone

[kcgirlgeek]

I will buy ANY CD she records. She could sing the PHONE BOOK...I'd buy it.

[ikarinokami]

There is more dirt and grit in the live version. This one is not as ANGRY with a chip on her shoulder as the live version.

[snowsprint]

She is simply phenominal! My only gripe is that I always prefer her "live" vocals over the studio ones, very odd... Wonder if they did something to her voice or something?

[MikeyAD7]

She owns any genre. Best of the top 4 no matter what. She better win.

[wallykget]

you can tell that she is not a 'rocker'. but that was still a great performance. and making her more amazing singer to me.

[alrodrig423]

I'd buy whatever CD this was on.  If she doesn't win American Idol, I'm moving to Mexico...or even worse - Canada.
