Great song. One of the best studio versions of her singing. I'd like to hear more of her on lots of songs and less background vocals and instruments. I listen to her almost everyday on Youtube. Her voice soothes me. It's a gift and a blessing.
So warm, so charismatic, so charming, so moving, so entertaining, so talented, so respectful, so Melinda.
Already, The Wiz has a strong and devoted fan base.
Careful preparation, hones her bewitching craft and produces unforgettable music and clearly understood stories.
Every time, this most feminine of Puppeteer' tugs at our emotions, taking us on wondrous journeys with her spellbinding performances. And we're not a bit afraid.
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.
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.
i agree with you thehbss and seavello. I loved her even more when she was voted off, because she handled it so gracefully, and i loved her even more after hearing the ryan seacreast kiis fm podcast (search on itunes). he interviewed her and she said that she was completely okay with being voted off, she said how jordin and blake are amazing and she said some great things about them
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.
she can sing anything. i cannot wait til she records. i stopped comparing her to the other idol contestants long ago. next year, there will be more jordans and lakishas (good singers) and more 'cute' guy blakes (average singers), but i dont picture another melinda doolittle. she is up there with the greats.
Wow! All due respect to the team who produced this, but it's a strong indication of what Melinda's music will sound like when she'll be working with the very best in the business. She has such a distinctive voice, it's almost spooky, like hearing the future. Speed, rhythm, enunciation, key changes, the whole shooting match, and she's never stretching. Wow!
she should have won but the stupid little teeny bopper with no talent did cause, OMG she was a teen

This recording gets faster and faster... It sounds like something is wrong with the recording...like it is speeding up....
grandcarriage 4 years ago
The speed of the song gets faster, but the pitch doesn't really change, so I'm thinking it's deliberate.
satakieli 4 years ago
I thought it does get slightly sharper as it goes on...it's VERY gradual, so you don't notice it.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting these studio versions! Now I wish she had held back My Funny Valentine for the top 12!

I know! but the plus on her doing then is that maybe she'll put it on the idols encore cd.
