Melinda Doolittle - American Idol 24 Semifinalists

[overtime2005]

did simon say, I really dig you to Melinda? O.o @1:03

[mmdillon1]

Simon telling this wizard of vocal pyrotechnics that she's good enough to be a soloist rather than a backup singer is like telling Elizabeth Taylor in her prime that she has pleasant features.

[SteelAVic18]

Who sing "This is It"?

[birdsong40]

@SteelAVic18 Melba Moore

[KristinChenoweth1]

0:42... um yeah right Simon like there are so many people that are better than Melinda!!! No way!

[nikaledesma]

what did simon tell her when she kiss her

[KristinChenoweth1]

I can't believe she got eliminated let alone eliminated before Blake, that crap-hole singer.

[pamorale]

When she got eliminated... I just lost interest in the contest...

She is a truly singer.

[rosbrownsugar]

I wanted her to win, she should have won.

[vermouthnist]

I can't believe she's lost to beat boxing crap boy !! she and jordin should be in the finale...

[oliverosmarc]

I was touched by Simon's act..., and it was the first time i saw simon like that.

[thetrebleclef]

Notice the cheer that erupts from the room...even her 'competitors' recognized her talent and knew she deserved to be in the top 24.

[denzelwvu]

yeah...that was definitely a thunderous cheer from the others.

[54spiritedwill54]

I totally agree... i love herr!

[mzzh]

i love how she transformed...so shy to an amazing powerhouse. really loved watching that season because of her. cannot wait for her cd

[lupi0525]

Melinda looks sexy in that outfit!

[slimygit8]

simon really believed in her

[PoNge]

best...best...best...

exceptional melinda

[zkdls]

whats the song she sings?

[curlyj76]

I think it's, "This is It" by Melba Moore, originally that is... I know that its been remade a couple of times.

[anthonystick]

I can not wait to hear what her first single is. I voted for her every week. Jordin is good. But Melinda is fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nomarjramon]

it is my funny valentine

[cutiepierocks8]

shes ok

[femmefataleminx]

Don't ever say that again... She's a million miles beyond "ok", she's phenomenal! If you don't want to be bitch-slapped, don't say that again!

[vermouthnist]

stupid comment, she's fantastic !!

[cutielu8705]

I love melinda!! Screw Jordan this is the real winner!!!

[deltahak]

It isn't that Jodin can't sing; she can. She just is NOT in the same league as Melinda; not very many people are. I am not sure how or why Melinda got voted off the show, but in my opinion, and many others, she was the true winner of AI.

[VachConstantin]

melinda is one of those rare singers in Idol who can belt a whitney song and not get negative criticisms (ex. 'You're not as good as whitney", etc etc.)

[sweetprinces4lyfe]

I totally agree... i love herr!

[brontese]

Melinda, you are amazing!!! You should have won!!
