I don't remember hearing this song before, but as always, it's fantastic! The true test of a great singer is making you love a song the first time you hear it. It just shows how much versatility this wonderfully talented girl has. She could sing the phone book and make you cry!
I'm not sure what took me so long to find this, but I'm glad I found it. Melinda Doolittle is exactly the type of singer I appreciate. The girl can sing with the best of 'em. She is ALWAYS on pitch and sings every song like she's lived it. Exceptional!
omg i love this song and i love that melinda is singing it.she was a pure joy and you could tell that she loved to sing. i will buy here ablum when it comes out.
My name is Dinah Brein and I wrote this song. I'm delighted that most people seem to like it. I found Melinda to be a charming and incredibly talented and stylistic singer.
I would LOVE for her to record this on her CD. Perhaps if everyone would leave a note to her on her website and tell her how much you like it. I promise to thank all of you if that ever happens.
Come visit me on my myspace page at; agirllikememusic.
Hi Dinah Brein. I am from Singapore. Listening to this song written by you and I m sure it has all the making of a hit on some movies. It stays and lingers with anyone listening to it. Beautifully written. Congratulations to you for being such a great talent. Now you just need to find a superstar like Melinda Doolittle or Lakisha Jones to shine with you! Luv, from SINGAPORE.
omgosh i love melinda she is the best better than any other person i love her oh my gosh she rocks she should of won her album will be way better than stinky jordan sparks she ok but melinda is so good she makes me want to cry SHE ROCKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
No music plays No candle burns No shadows dance across your face You took the moon, and when you left You stole the stars right out of this place What do I do now Now that it's just me? No kiss from your lips No fire from your touch Oh, my body burns from missing you Missing you so much And now, I'm down on my knees Praying that I'm not left here dreaming of All of this unmade love
Melinda we love you darlin. You keep going girl you deserve the new cd and many more to come. I am looking forward to hearing your voice for many years to come. You are phenominal and one day I believe your name will be in the Music Hall of Fame.
Oddly enough I like her live better (she's still really good in studio), only because she's a performer and she gets the audience's attention and emotions.
Well, I surely hope melinda is reading this....: You're in my top 10 female singers with Anita Baker, Gladys, Chaka, Aretha and all the other who really got "soul".... Love yer timing! (from Holland) NEVSKI
Melinda is so versitile with her vocals. I am thoroughly impressed, but not in the least suprised. Melinda if you happen to read this, I think you're simply the best!
This is my first time hearing this song by my favorite singer!! Melinda sounds so sweet, so soft. I hope she does a remake of this for her CD. I love the lyrics. Very romantic!!
Thank you for posting this, Melindafans. I love it. It's more subtle than I would have expected given her amazing vocal range. With the right producers and backing, she can have an amazing career.
Melindafans thanks for bringing this to Youtube .. this is the first time I am hearing this song and it is so great to hear something prior to AI .. her voice is so warm and soulful .. hearing this just makes me more anxious to hear the new cd .. I hope 2008 will be a good one for her music .. totally awesome ..
Me too... but Melinda is far more than just a singer. She always gives such warmth and sincerety to her performances. Melinda is able to get close to her audiences. Its a personality skill that mere studio work cant capture.
nice picture... Melinda looks really nice in this picture.
About the song: Oh wow. I think it's hot and contemporary... which was not what i had expected. As usual she exceeded far past my expectations >.>. That's melinda for you ~
There is nothing that Melinda Doolittle can't sing because she is so blessed and gifted from the man above and she will continue to be blessed by Him always and forever. She is indeed a Shinning Star and this song tells it like it is when it comes to how great a talent she truly is.
This is a rich, soulful vocal that does nothing but continue to show off your GLORIOUS voice with all of its range and versatility. Is there NOTHING that you can't sing? :) Keep up the great work. I'm WAITING (impatiently! LOL) for your first CD. I love you!!!!!
I have the mp3 to this and have played it TO DEATH. I just can't hardly WAIT for her CD. I wish that tour would be OVER with already so she can go on with her career, dang it! She has impatient fans WAITING out here!!!
No music plays, no candle burns, no shadow stands across your face, you took the moon and when you left, you stole the stars right out of this place
What do I do, now, now that it's just me, no kiss from your lips, no fire from your touch, oh my body burns from missing you missing you so much, and now, I'm down on my knees, bringing that I'm not left to dream of love, all of this unmade love, all of this unmade love.
Without a warning, this Beautiful Songbird has come out of the shadows to beguile and entertain us with her magical voice, good humour, modesty, intelligence, and warmth.
In a matter of a few days, we are comparing her with the Great Entertainers of all time. Already she belongs with Gladys, Tina, Sarah, Ella, Whitney, CeCe, Celine, Yolanda....... !!
Let's dispel one myth...Ms. D is appealing, attractive, funny and [gasp] sexy. Shy or not, she's grounded and that's a great quality. Her voice is so rich & strong & uplifting to listen to. I truly hope she does some rock,country, love songs. OH - TX for sharing this "melindafans" for all of us fans! :)
I love this woman! I feel in love with the voice the 1st time I saw on the AI auditions, and knew this woman should win the whole thing. If I could've voted that night instead of sitting at work, my 23,000 votes might have kept her in the running. Damnit!
This is nice, she showed us she can sing out side of the box. The rock, country, Britian week, i enjoy this. DKN87 I'm thinking you maybe a little horny or maybe your feeling are correct. As long as it don't make you feel like hurting anyone, it's a good feeling.
Her voice makes me feel funny. I don't know if she is that good of a singer or if I'm just going crazy but her voice is the best. She can make a love making album.
No this is not her first single, she was just asked to sing it for a demo. This was recorded before her AI stint. It'd be great if she can include it in her first album but I think I'd prefer a more upbeat song for her first single.
