Melinda Doolittle - Sway Studio Version

[VETTE811]

MELINDA ... THIS VERSION TOPS DEAN MARTINS.....

[kthinsa]

She wuz robbed. By far Head and shoulders above the rest. Another big mistake from the voters on AI.

[MsCata9746]

Dear Replay Button,

sorry I almost killed you, but this song is so good that I needed to hear it a lot.

Sincerily yours

MsCata9746 =D

[fran91gl]

love it!

[leobelkin]

yo can u hook me up with this song?

msg me so i can give u my email to send it

=D tyvm.

[geronimoroxanne]

Everytime i am listening to this song i wanna dance...it gives me an sensational sensation...for this i must THANK Melinda...she is adorable, in all the ways!:)

[Waterlily942]

I like this song best when she sings it

[fany98]

I love this song, and I love how she sings (: In my dance classes, they put this song..!!!

[Gagamaedi]

very cool :)

[54spiritedwill54]

her voice is really flawless...even though she doesnt win AI she's already a star.

[mswatlanta]

What style... what phrasing... how superb

[thehbss]

Perry Como probably is my favourite male singer of this song. Melinda does such a great version for the ladies. Live better... yes but Melinda live will always be best... she is more than just a singer...!!

[summertime35]

odd....i think the live version actually was better it was more rough and more...Malinda ;)

[summertime35]

odd....i think the live version actually was better

[alelig]

The live version was better........hotter

[ka8tydid]

Melinda is the BEST female vocalist to ever be on Idol. Better than Carrie, Kelly, Fantasia, Katherine and all the rest....she is simply the best.

[alelig]

I'm totally in agreement with you on that

[Emines2k]

You can only be a 50 year old with that opinion.

[whiteboi3149]

she is awesome, but is nothing unless u guys buy her album.

[sanjayagrl5]

She totally sang this song

[pbeihler]

I agree with you nudebeme!

[idolfreak43]

These recordings are also on itunes.

Gosh I'm obsessed fan girl. i can't get enough of Melinda!

[darkderrick1]

this is really similar to the pussycat dolls version, and really good :)

[astar1964]

That's because it is based on the pussy cat dolls version as it is the last popular recording of the composition. The Pussy cat dolls recorded Sway for the film "Shall we Dance" in 2004. surprisingly the film starred Richard Gere and Guess who... Jennifer Lopez who was thier coach on Latin night.

[darkderrick1]

i knew where it was from...

[ghettomusic0]

I think Melinda is amazing. I have always loved this song, but she sings it so perfectly. I can't stop listening to this version.

[thehbss]

Melinda -- You are a great communicator. We already believe we know you. The great Nat King Cole would be proud of you. He too was warm, kind, humble, unassuming, and intelligent. He too connected with his fans. Millions around the world adored (and still do) his music and loved the man. Already, you have fans that adore your music, and love YOU.

[thehbss]

Vive la difference. For example. Whitney, Celine, Gladys, Tina, Shirley, Mahalia, Joan ... Nat, Frank, Dean, Ray, Glen, Johnny, Andrea... are all differently blessed Singer-Entertainers. Melinda, American Idol has shown you too are a blessed Singer-Entertainer. One favour? Be like Nat... try different genre. For starters, I would like you to do a Country Collection sometime soon. Bon voyage.

[thehbss]

Come visit UK soon Melinda...

[dillowman]

melindafans, how did you get all of these studio recordings??

[Dalockett]

They are on the American Idol web site..

[nudebeme]

I keep listening to this because I cant find it anywhere else. It saddens me that teenagers my age dont enjoy beautiful classy music like this. melinda is the american idol as far as im considered.

[darrellfair17]

I love this song, after hearing it the first time. This is one of those songs that you put on at a big party to get everyone out of their seats.

[opinion1234]

she cant sing it much different, the arrangement is pre-recorded, so she can not change it all to stir things up

[TallGirlAli1]

Melinda, you are great!

[Dendog]

The live version is better. Obviously she saved a better performance for the viewing audience/ voters, where it mattered. Smart woman. And last night she absolutely nailed her three tunes. Melinda, to the top!

[amunrey]

I love this version from Melinda!!! Can you believe that Simon didn't care for this song?????

[iamreallyfree]

her voice is really flawless...even though she doesnt win AI she's already a star.

[lf1234]

Carrie Underwood is successful- and not just because of being on the show. I mean, you don't win all those awards and have three #1 singles on the country charts just because of Idol.

[musicfan0430]

I just changed my text messaging plan to unlimited so watch out everyone -- Melinda will win!!!!

[Dendog]

Melinda is by far the best, BUT she is not a shoe-in! Some people think Jordin is as good, or better! No way! Not even close. So, put out the word: All votes for Melinda. Now that Phil is gone, this is all that matters.

[martinv0606]

I wish she sung this song better. Its just.....Ok. Its not as good as the majority of Jordin's performances. She doesn't even hit any high notes! defiantely not her best!

[EmeraldizingTheStars]

I looooooove melinda. If she doesn't win American Idol needs to be canceled for being fixed

[AsukaTachibana333]

I know melinda should win but have you ever really seen an american idol who was really successful? except maybe kelly clarkson. and by the way last year y did taylor win? hes not even that great of a singer im sorry if i upset pplz but thats how i think so...

[missbeeline]

just speechless!

[mrdoolin]

Don't worry, everyone, this year, Melinda Doolittle is a SHOE-IN! I'll tell you this, if she doesn't win it will be IN YOUR FACE proof that the entire voting system on American Idol is RIGGED!

[willm16]

Melinda SHOULD win American Idol. Now, don't get me wrong, Jordin Sparks is fantastic as well but like what nowpitching22 said, Melinda is just so versatile and can sing just about anything.

[wallykget]

that was fantastic. S M O O T H

[nowpitching22]

I really hope she wins the competition. She is truly the best singer this season. I like Jordin too but Melinda is so very polished and versatile. When she sings it is just so effortless. I am guessing the top three will consist of her , Blake and Jordin. It will be really great when a cd comes out. Thanks so much for posting this.

[1jammot]

The world needs a CD of all Melinda's AI work. It would go beyond multi-platinum, maybe quadzillion-kryptonite or something. Whatever, the old book of methods for judging AI alumni is now in shreds.

[samp46]

YES YES YES!! Let's start a petition!

[jhtrico1850]

The background singers sound awful, even if they were trying to not copy the Pussycat Dolls (but who cares, they already took 99% of the song).

[nylatinguy3000]

I'm sorry... I don't understand something.

What are 'Studio Versions' of songs?

Are they the songs that'll be on the album?

[melindafans]

Studio versions would be where you go in the recording studio and do the full version of the song.

This wasn't live or anything.

[jhtrico1850]

They aren't "live", remastered

[samp46]

Is there a studio version of My Funny Valentine?

[melindafans]

I wish, but it's just top twelve songs.

Maybe that will go on the idols encore cd.

[musicmill]

Wow....THANK YOU SO MUCH for adding this. It sounds great! Her voice just lifts my spirits....can hardly wait for a CD of full length songs....

[ReginaldL]

This sounds GREAT! Melinda's voice is so soothing and in perfect pitch. I love her.

[bussimama]

much better than the live show.

[Pismo2000]

Melinda. She's fantastic. She's my favorite artist and my wife's not sick of me playing her tracks over and over again so you know she's talented. Thanks for the studio versions.

[berighteous]

This my favorite from her so far. She was amazing live on this song. Simon was just plain wrong this week.

[PhantomPhantasm]

When are you going to add the rest of the studio versions of all her songs?

[melindafans]

Probably tonight, but youtube is being an idiot, and won't let me upload. So I guess we'll see.

[melindafans]

they have been added ;P

I uploaded the one from last night (Trouble is a Woman) but youtube is incredibly slow lately so it may not show up for awhile.

[violetvelvet]

Melinda is so amazing (:!

[melindafans]

I'll be adding the rest of the studio versions of her songs shortly.

[misterchangman]

Yes, please. Thank you!

[Bill625]

My God, that is good. I'd buy her album!
