from Jose' Sepulveda, the Hermeterec.......my sweet Lord in heaven, are you people out there telling me this young woman did NOT win this competition????? You cannot be serious....Ella Fitzgerald couldn't have beaten Miss Doolittle on this night!!
Melinda has continued to be a featured vocalist with many well-known musicians and orchestras; and she has headlined her own show twice at New York City's famed cabaret - Feinstein's. She's also working on her second CD! You can get to know Melinda best on twitter - mdoolittle. Keep up with Melinda at her self-titled website Melinda Doolittle add the dot and then add the com as well as here - DoolittleTV!
I don't watch AI anymore, but I remember this being the top performance, all rounds, all contestants...why she was not crowned winner is why no one should really give a shit about AI anymore.
Melinda has soul and talent from her baby toe to the tip of her hair. It's INSANE to me she isn't an epic star today. It just goes to show music really isn't about talent these days, it's about gimics.
her competitors were like cans of beer that left you with a hangover and a bad headache. she was like a bottle of fine wine. truly exquisite. i wish she makes an album of remakes and cover of classics and standards. she harks us back to an era long gone when singers were just that.
@Cpao2 Your wish has been granted! :-) Check out her official web site - add dot com after her name - and you can listen to samples of Coming Back To You; and you can buy the CD straight from her Fan Store - even get a signed copy to benefit Malaria No More! Melinda's just-released autobiography, Beyond Me, makes great reading, too!
the top 2 in the finale with Melinda should have been Jordin or Lakisha.. Now, that's a Finale..but Jordin and Blake?!!!! What the hell America is listening to?
My husband and I were heartbroken when she got voted off...she's my favorite to this day. My husband passed away, but he was "My Funny Valentine" and I cry when Melinda sings this soulful rendition.
I loved her and was shocked when she went, compared to the crap we are hearing this year especially the ones that have gone and some of the Men still remaining, Melinda ROCKED!!
As a Sarah fan I have to say the hair raised on my neck for this one. (My sign of a good vocalist). Very nice rendition. Any jazz vocalist hopeful must do the standards well. Thanks for posting.
Melinda's incredible performance of this jazz classic announced to the world that she is a serious vocalist. BTW another classic comes to mind: The Best is Yet to Come!
Get Melinda's CD, Coming Back To You, from her official web site and the sales benefit Malaria No More. Also get the Remixes of her single, It's Your Love, online at eye Tunes or Am a zon!
It's time American Idol broke off a show that highlights contemporary talent. This performance and others are just not "Idol" uh.... stuff. There's been mucho talent on this show that was superb and couldn't be pidgeonholed into the category that this particular competition nourishes.
I kept thinking of this when Matt Giraud was singing this song last night. Couldn't stand Giraud's because a) it wasn't very good and b) he's no Melinda freaking Doolittle, not even close.
actually some dude on american idol did and he killed it. i dont even watch a.i. but tuesday i did and this guy happen to be singing it. he did anexptional job
i'm speechless.
