Whatever happened to Melinda Doolittle?

Dec 4, 2007, 08:45 AM | by Michael Slezak

Categories: 'American Idol', Hell to the no!, Music

Melinda_l In light of the news that Jordin Sparks recently scored the lowest total first-week sales (119,000) and the lowest first-week chart position (No. 10) among six American Idol champs to date…and seeing as Blake Lewis's Audio Day Dream got socked with a tepid C review from our own Chris Willman in this week's EW…and keeping in mind season 5's "unhip" Elliott Yamin is still getting airplay even after more "marketable" Taylor Hicks and Katharine McPhee have hit the bargain bin…I figured I'd ask the good folks at 19 Entertainment whether or not they'd gotten around to signing season 6's third-place finisher Melinda Doolittle to a recording contract.

Yes, I know, she doesn't have Jordin's youthful appeal, or Blake's hipster musical tastes, but the woman possesses a monster truck of a voice, and the world needs more monster trucks! And personally, I'd like to see her drive it right through the rocky chart terrain left barren in the absence of Tina Turner, followed by the smooth-jazzy territory once occupied by Anita Baker.

Alas--and I know you know this is coming--a 19 spokesperson's response, received via email yesterday afternoon, contained a single, sad sentence: "She is not signed to 19 Recordings."

Help me make sense of this, PopWatchers! Because it's not right, and it's not okay. And don't even get me started on LaKisha Jones.

Oh yes, you know I went there.

Honestly, Melinda Doolittle is one of the greatest voice in "American Idol history". She is the real deal as the 3 judges of Idol mainly: Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul & Randy Jackson and Idol host Ryan Seacrest and millions of spectators can attest to that as they were mesmerized by her versatility and performance. Music has always been a part of our daily lives and if we don't allow "Melinda" to spread her wings then it seems that we are torturing our very own in a dull rusty cage.

Voices like Melinda's are so beautifully rare and inspiring. I cannot understand the music industry...why aren't we hearing her CD along with any other type of medium to showcase her exceptional, God-given talent ?????

janice Sat, Apr 19, 2008 at 06:47 PM EST

so typical of the music industry to ignore a wonderful super talent like melinda. I found her to be a modern day Gladys Knight.Aside for some 12 year olds text messaging their lastest heart throb, they should see by some of the people america picks, Rueben Stoddard ,Clay Aiken, Elliot Yamin, Kimberly Locke, Jennifer Hudson etc.. That america doesn't care as much about looks as they do talent. yet they still try to make us feel we are supposed to want the so called "commercial package" We need people who can raise the bar and make people feel something when they sing. Melinda did just that! good luck Melinda I know your strenth is in God and He will fulfill your life no matter where you are.

Scott Tibbetts Fri, Apr 18, 2008 at 09:19 PM EST

Somebody needs to sign her up, my wife and I would buy her cd in a heartbeat!

I've been around music my whole life and I can't believe someone hasn't signed Melinda to a record deal!!! What is wrong with the music industry?

Ermene Thu, Apr 17, 2008 at 11:50 AM EST

THE man, Clive, has always chosen winner recording artist. Clive, why haven't you produced Melinda Doolittle? She IS this generations Tina Turner and MORE! Please, somebody get her recorded! Love 'ya music, Melinda!

UWorlds1 Thu, Apr 17, 2008 at 06:17 AM EST

It's fantastic to hear Ms. Doolittle doing her thing the way she wants to. She has been in the business and knows you can rise to fast.

It's a great marketing ploy that they did not put out a CD right away. She has a huge fan base. It's smart not to be overexposed. And I don't understand the comparisons with Anita Baker...they are nothing alike.

The music industry is fickle--good for your for not rushing for fame. Also, thanks for the info.

Janice Wed, Apr 16, 2008 at 11:43 PM EST

Watchng American Idol makes me really miss Melinda. I am so disappointed no one has signed her...I keep looking for her CD. Truly one of a kind--she is, and always will me, my #1 American Idol.

Connie Martinez Wed, Apr 16, 2008 at 09:12 PM EST

I so agree with the majority of commentors. Melinda should have won Idol last year, hands down. She is an amazing performer and can sing anything, and sing it better than the original performer in most cases. In the end, Idol is as, Simon suggested, a Populartity contest and not a Talent contest. Melinda deserves a recoring contract, and I really hope to hear and see more of her soon.

Little ol" me down here in New Zealand has even been watching and waiting patiently for a CD to be made of this fantastic Woman and her voice, please give me hope!!!!!!!!!!!!

wendy Tue, Apr 15, 2008 at 08:50 PM EST

melinda dolittle should have won idol last year. why hasn't she signed a recording contract. she puts jordin, taylor, katharine to shame

Joan Tue, Apr 15, 2008 at 07:39 PM EST

She's a SINGER...one of the best I've heard. I've been waiting and watching...for a CD.

Quiverfull Mon, Apr 14, 2008 at 01:26 PM EST

American Idol this year is a big disappointment because I don't think I have yet gotten over how crummy it was that Melinda didn't make the final 2. She clearly was THE winner and I hope she starts cranking out CDs and tours!

wisermaw7 Mon, Apr 14, 2008 at 01:14 AM EST

I was so sad to see Melinda gone and lost interest fast. I agree that it should be one vote per phone number. Flooding the lines has produced losers. Melinda has talent beyond compare and I hope to hear more from her. She was simply a class unto herself and deserves to be acknowledged and in time she will.

Salvador Santamaria Sat, Apr 12, 2008 at 12:24 AM EST

Melinda is INCREDIBLE!!!! I WISH A LOT LISTEN AGAIN YOUR VOICE, PLEASE RECORD CD SOON!!!!! SHE IS THE ONLY ONE BEST SINGER OF AI, WELL FANTASIA TOO, BOTHS ARE FANTASTIC!!!! SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH I SPEAK SPANISH.

will Thu, Apr 10, 2008 at 10:20 PM EST

Melinda is a consumate professional with a charming and delightful personality, stage presence par excellence AND a tremendous God-given talent and voice. Her only downfall in the Idol competition was that she was already head and shoulders above the other "kids" and didn't show as much improvement as they over the weeks of the show.

Ro Thu, Apr 10, 2008 at 02:47 PM EST

When will be be able to buy Melinda's CD????????? She is fantastic.

jane Wed, Apr 9, 2008 at 06:10 PM EST

Come on...let's hear from Melilnda...she's got the voice and the personality and all she needs is a contract...she;'s much the best I've heard on AI.

Richard Mon, Apr 7, 2008 at 09:49 PM EST

I love Melinda's eyes, they shine with the power of gods love. I'd be proud to have a girl like her on my arm. Best singer to come along in a decade.

Noelie Sat, Apr 5, 2008 at 12:03 PM EST

re: comments about her looking like "Shrek". That is so not true. It is truly disgusting how people behave these days.

On the other hand even it is is true, it is better to look like him than behave like an ass.

re: those saying Jordin Sparks is better. Sorry folks. Have you all noticed where her recording placed? Jordin is fine..if the same old same old kind of thing you all have been trying to sell those of us that have actual musical training have started refusing to buy, is what you like.

She isn't very much different. She won becuase teenyboppers text more. Pure and simple. Kids don't think, don't make judgements as to best. They just see another youngster and vote. (a good example of that is Sanjia or however you spell his name, and how he stayed on week after endlessly boring, trifling week. The little girls with cells phones keep it going)

I agree, Idol could use some sort of a makeover, such as a one vote per phone number system. I dunno.

Althea Thu, Apr 3, 2008 at 10:17 AM EST

Melinda Doolittle-- the greatest "American Idol" that has ever appeared..Anything that was thrown at her she nailed it effortlessly. I was so sorry she was not chosen over "Blake" for the finals..."because she was not the American Beauty. I would very much love to see more of her whether it's on an award show or any musical concert or her record album. She left an everlasting impression because of her magical, melodious voice she was blessed with.

barb Thu, Apr 3, 2008 at 07:54 AM EST

i also await a recording from melinda. she was the best ever on the show. when she sang i got goosebumps. the only contestant able to do that. i hope this years show will bring her back as a guest singer

Kat Tue, Apr 1, 2008 at 02:35 AM EST

I can't wait until Melinda has an album released. I keep watching and waiting. Especially with the looks of this years prospects to be the AI. I just can't get into idol this year. I think it has to do with the total disappointment with last seasons results. I have not even voted once this season, or plan on it at this time. AI seems to have become just a teeny bopper popularity contest and not about true talent.

Tawnya Mon, Mar 31, 2008 at 03:47 PM EST

I've been waiting for Melinda's first album. I bought Katherine McPhees, Taylor Hicks' - who I loved on AI and Daughtry's. Let me tell you that after the first listen, I haven't touched either Katherine's or Taylor's again. I thought the songs on the CD's sucked and showed nowhere near the sound that they had during AI. Daughtry was awesome - as has been Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkeson. I even liked Clay Aiken's first album. However, I was blown away by Melinda Doolittle last season. I couldn't believe that Jordin and the Bee/Bop guy made it through to the finale. I, like you, anxiously await her first album.

musication Sat, Mar 29, 2008 at 03:15 PM EST

I can't wait to hear Melindas first album, counting the days... but where Melinda really shines is LIVE on stage. When u compare Melindas studio versions to the live versions, the live versions always stand out by far - they carry this magical extra, keeping u hooked to the magical carpet ride of her performance, taking u higher and deeper than u expected. I'm not sure if any overproduced and polished studio recording will do the same. Fingers crossed for her upcoming CD to capture the magic.

Tim Sat, Mar 29, 2008 at 11:32 AM EST

I just purchased the MP3 for "My Funny Valentine" and am pleased to read in the comments that an album is tentatively coming ... but where is Melinda's promotion? Why isn't her management doing a better job at that? I stumbled onto the MP3 by accident, and it was released almost 2 months ago. Melinda is too good to have to rely on "grass roots" word-of-mouth promotion. How can we say this any clearer, record industry? WHERE IS OUR MELINDA DOOLITTLE ALBUM? You keep pushing trite crap at us that you *think* we want instead of listening to what we *actually* want. It is time for the truly talented people like Melinda to get a better break.

Craig Wed, Mar 26, 2008 at 04:15 PM EST

Do other Idol contestants have a bulletin board like this where all the comments are so glowing. I suppose they do. But anyone listening to Melinda sing and knows Britney Spears well choreographed dance routines was never music, knows Melinda is something special. She has the raw talent of an Aretha or Whitney. Unfortunately talent alone doesn't sell. Anyone watching season six and still thinks Idol is a singing competition.... Well, I'm sure they are Hannah fans too.

Tina Wed, Mar 26, 2008 at 04:01 PM EST

I was realy shocked when she lost the game to blake, that guy was pure nothing! anyway, I will buy his album for sure and wish her every good luck she needs in this business

Wed, Mar 26, 2008 at 03:59 PM EST

Well, maybe it won't be the end for her though. There is always broadway.

Louise7 Wed, Mar 26, 2008 at 08:32 AM EST

Jeff Olstad Mon, Mar 24, 2008 at 11:49 AM EST

I am disappointed, I have lost a good deal of faith in American Idiol. If they hire another people for political reasons I will lose faith completely. Get Melinda a recording contract or go back to food services.

Tony Fri, Mar 21, 2008 at 01:09 AM EST

She is the only Idol contestant I've ever actually picked up the phone and voted for.

loretta Fri, Mar 21, 2008 at 01:07 AM EST

I hadn't watched Idol enough before Melinda appeared or after to keep me watching. Her season was the only one I fully watched from beginning to end. She deserves a chance. She is an awesome talent.

Thu, Mar 20, 2008 at 05:25 PM EST

Melinda Doolittle is the ONLY performer on American Idol that I've ever been interested in enough to follow up on. I am glad that at least now she has a single available for download - let's all do it, so the record contract people will stand up and take notice. She could sing anything and I'd be entranced.

Rhonda Thu, Mar 20, 2008 at 12:47 PM EST

I don't think it was a lack of confidence that Melinda showed but an overabundance of humility. Even if she is not signed to do an R&B or pop album she should be signed to do a Christian album. Oh well, too many winners who weren't talented have stolen the spotlight from those who truly should have won...

Sharkey Thu, Mar 20, 2008 at 09:41 AM EST

What a shame she doesn't have a contract, but I'm not surprised. All of her amazing performances on AI were always followed by a choking lack of confidence that was painful to watch. Unfortunately, that's the reputation she carries with her. She was obviously the best singer in the competition that year, but anyone who still believes that AI is a "singing competition" must live on another planet.

nancy Thu, Mar 20, 2008 at 07:43 AM EST

The only one that kept me interested in idol that season was Melinda. I thought for sure she would have an album out by now. Get something out there for us middleagers. Bring back some class in the music industry. Rap music is mostly violent or just plain boring..same tempo over and over again. Make a change already.

Louise7 Wed, Mar 19, 2008 at 03:31 PM EST

Melinda she have two interview today in Jacksonville Florida. Wow, she is amazing. If you want to see the video www.mdstreetteam.com this is a place for her fans and you can have points and give you some prizes. Amazing.

Jesse Tue, Mar 18, 2008 at 04:22 PM EST

Plus, I think that video showed the wrong song choice for her!!

Jesse Tue, Mar 18, 2008 at 04:18 PM EST

Malinda has a decent voice, but I'm just not a fan of hers....Sorry

linda Sat, Mar 15, 2008 at 09:41 AM EST

I can't believe it! What is this world coming to. She is a wonderful singer I would buy her record.

nathan goodhue Sat, Mar 15, 2008 at 06:12 AM EST

The reason Melinda got 3rd place was because lots of teenyboppers voted for Jordon and Blake...However while they can afford texts they dont automatically go out and buy albums which 25+ people will do because Melinda is clearly a superior singer and the Buying public will buy once there is an album to aquire...And if i recall correctly it was primarily a singing contest...Clearly the difference between the voting puplic vs the buying public will become apparent to some music studio out there with sufficent brainpower so i look forward to the 1st album

Cindy Fri, Mar 14, 2008 at 04:53 PM EST

Sorry...but I just don't like her. I wouldn't buy her cd.

John L Hooper Thu, Mar 13, 2008 at 11:10 AM EST

What I find interesting is that no one seems to link Melinda's elimination with the low ratings for the final show last season. I didn't watch, and many people I know didn't watch, because the awesome talent, Melinda, was eliminated. We didn't care about the other two.

Misty Fritze Tue, Mar 11, 2008 at 09:20 PM EST

These people are crazy!! Melinda is a total gold mine for any record company who it lucky enough to sign the spectacular talent that she is. What are they all waiting for????

jane Schnure Tue, Mar 11, 2008 at 06:02 PM EST

Melinda is a gem...just so far ahead of the others..she's like the grests with all the stuff that goes with it. Your time is coming..believe me...you'll go down in history.

Gene Grubbe Mon, Mar 10, 2008 at 12:07 PM EST

I get upset every time I think that Melinda was passed over because she was not as pretty (and overweight) as Jordin Sparks. Tell me this ... how pretty was one of the greatest female singers ever Ella Fitzgerald?

I am 64 yrs old. My daugter is 42, and my grandaughter is 12. Each of us LOVED Melinda and would buy her CD if and when it is released. She is the talent of this decade! Come on now, sign this gal!

Merritt Sun, Mar 9, 2008 at 12:08 AM EST

Melinda was my fav ,she was humble and had talent. I was disapointed that she did not win at first because she was the best I thought. But now I am glad she did not because I think when she does make it and get her record contract she will have a smokin' career with longevity and not fizzle out. She is the real deal, pure talent through and through.

Pat Sat, Mar 8, 2008 at 08:55 PM EST

I loved Melinda and was sorry that she didn't win American Idol. I can't wait for her first album to come out.

bsarbara rooke Fri, Mar 7, 2008 at 12:39 PM EST

This is a fabulous singer, and I enjoyed every note she sang! You don't have to be young appeal, in fact has anyone realized that our population is aging? Talent is talent no matter what the age!!!

This WOMAN deserves a contract! Can you imagine how many CD's she would sell? She should have won AI, hands down!! Where are the winners now - NOWHERE! Let's hear it for Melinda, ask about her, keep people wanting to hear from her.

You're 100% right in asking about Melinda Doolittle! She should not be forgotten! I've always felt she should have won that competition.

And that A.I. clip posted is just a rightful reminder of how GREAT she was on that show. It's just a sad entertainment shame that we don't get to benefit from her voice and performances anymore.

It's just plain stupid a record company not signing her. Melinda Doolittle is AMAZING!

Melinda is one of the best contestant to grace the stage of American Idol. Every american idol performance was amazing and unforgettable. Melinda has an explosive talent that grabs the attention of everyone who listen. I can't wait to see her perform again. Melinda is a star in the making. We miss and love Melinda.

I am really not sure where the exec's heads are at AI....they should be able to detect by now, there system is not working too well. I would fire 19. Let me see.........they have to produce and album for the winner, so they give the poor person the worst of material. What are they supposed to do with that?

Such as Fantasia.....she won with the beauty of the soulful voice she had. They then produce a soft rap CD that was the worst for her. They did the same thing to Ruben.

I am very glad they did not sign Melinda. They truely are not good enough for her. Melinda needs and deserves the best of creative teams to support her talent. Good luck to you Melinda. We are waiting patiently for you. Watch the material Linda.......it is key.

I can't wait for her cd. Melinda and Phil Stacey was my favorites in AI6.

daisy Thu, Feb 28, 2008 at 05:21 PM EST

Melinda has a powerhouse voice and amazing vocals and I for one can't wait for her CD. I agree she deserves to be seen and HEARD!

She puts all the other Idols to shame!
