LKL WEB EXCLUSIVE: Melinda Doolittle: Best Idol Ever!

I became a fan of American Idol two seasons ago, and I have to admit I was blown away this season. I think you all captured America, and the beauty of all of you is you have defined the younger generation in a positive way.

God bless each of you on the fabulous journey that is ahead for all of you. Thank you for the thrills, the excitement, and for giving me the rush of what a crush is again. ROCK ON IDOLS!!

Melinda-
As a musician (instrumental/vocal) I have to say, you and Danny are the best vocalists of all the contestants I've seen. Just bought your CD, it's in my car as we speak!
Good luck!

hello,melinda! i am SOOO GLAD TO HEAR YOU COMMENT ABOUT THE FINALE. IT REALLY WAS THE BEST AMERICAN IDOL FINALE,EVER!!! WOW!

Melinda – such a wonderful talent and spirit you are! When you left Idol, I stopped watching that season, but I've been watching you ever since. Love the new album – several of which I've given as gifts! Two thoughts – I would love for your second album to be a collection of standards, reinterpreted in your own unique style: Gershwin, Porter, Mercer. Ah...I can dream of Melinda singing Mercer's "Dream".......next thought, you need to get yourself a recurring role on that new show "Glee." Get your agent on that!! All good wishes to you...

terrible show

Melinda looking forward to checking out your CD. This was a great Idol season And I'm so Glad Kris won he is Talented, Gifted, well rounded a humble spirit, And so very deserving of the American Idol Winner A big! HUGE!! CONGRATS!!! TO KRIS!! AMERICA GOT IT RIGHT!!!

Melinda–you, Elliott and now Danny–all my favorites in 3rd place. There should be a warning sent to the contestant I am loving. Your CD is just as amazing as your talent. One of my dreams is to see you in concert some day.
Yes, the Idol finale this year was incredible. What a great show. Hated to see Allison leave but came to love Adam's singing and performances–what a talented young man.
Keep it up with that incredible positive attitude.

Hey Idols,
What a great show, and a Fabulous Finale!
I really loved it all, and enjoyed it to the max!
My sincere comment is about my LEGEND: Adam Lambert:
This man is an extreme! He's more than an artist! I can't imagine how the season would'v been like without him!
Seriously, he added a HUGE weight to the show! And to my faith in people!
However they say, whoever he was, his personal life is personal to him, but can any1 honestly say that he wasn't extraordinary??
I liked Kris a lot, but to be honest, he can never Match Adam!
Unfairness and injustice is evrywhere, and america not voting for him is a huge disappointment!
I just wished if they openned the voting internationally I wud'v absoloutely vote!
Anyways, he's a King! And he's gona b the KING, just as Great as Elvis and Michael Jackson!
Adam's Fan; Mariam.

I am so glad that your cd"coming back to you" is out. love the energy and great music! Just wish you had sung "It's your love" on American Idol. Glad you got to be on that red carpet. A star was born the day you sang on american Idol!

I am really disappointed at the so called Christians that judge others. I am a born again christian. Christian means Christ like. COME ON NOW be for real . Unless you have a hearing problem, anyone knows that ADAM LAMBERT should have won AMERICAN IDOL> IT was only that you formed your opinion, decided Adam was Gay, and cast your votes for Kris the "little christian boy" Well let me remind you that MY GOD IS LOVE. Being prejudice does not display love. I am so happy that Adam will produce many albums. I also believe the voting was tampered with, by someone. You know the BIBLE says "Pray for those who dispitefully use you and do all sorts of evil against you...." ADAM you will be okay. REmember GOD gave ADAM Lambert his talent and you people can't take it from him.

I absolutely agree with Melinda. This was THE BEST AI finale. Sure, some parts were "questionable" but overall it was great. I even enjoyed Nick because he's just humorous. Though, I am not sure why or how he got as far as he did on the show. I also enjoyed Paula's choreography early on for the Idols. And Adam was my favorite entertainer of the season.

Melinda... in our house, Season 6 lost its allure when you left! We all thought you were amazing! Great to see you here on the LKL blog... and great to hear about your album... we'll go and get the cd tomorrow... just as we'll buy Adam's as soon as it comes out! Also, if you ever tour... please come to the West Coast of Canada... we'd love to see you in concert! All the luck 'Girl'... you are giften and very special!

Sorry Kris, your sweet...but Adam is amazing..he put on an awesome performance week after week! He is a true super star! I think unlimited voting & speed dial machines played a big role in the voting process. Your both awesome people,,,its amazing to see how good you talk about each other & the special friendship you share! Adam...I loved it when you kissed Kris on the forehead...you have a big heart!

Melinda, you were wonderful and should have won Season 6. You and Adam definitely have the top voices ever on the show (Jennifer Hudson reached her peak later). Not to say Kris, Danny, Allison (loved her), and some others from the past - Latoya, Lakisha, Clay, Constantine, to name a few) were'nt also excllent. But you should be headlining today, right now, in top venues across the country. Adam is a rare aritst who will do wonders with whatever he chooses. Kris is likeable and is a terrific contemporary artist, but I actually think Danny, my original favorite whose personality is wearing thin, and Allison have more staying power. But Melinda, you are timeless and will be singing anything and everything until youjust don;t want to sing anymore!

Mr. King, how and when will you know, it's time to hand the mike over.

Larry, everyone of your shows, everyday, are my favorite ones.

Melinda, it is great to read your comment about the final. It was the best final ever! Wow! What a show! And you my dear, I thought you were to perform on one of the AI shows? What happened? Thanks for the free download of you title track. It's great and I play it in the car all the time, that's because your CD is not availlable here south africa yet. Can you speed up the export of you CD please? You have lots of fan down here and we are so happy for your success. God bless you richly! Love from a very cold Johannesburg.

What ever! who cares.

Agree with this year's show. Remarkable talents all around made it hard to rally for just one contestant. But.........Danny Dokey high on my list. Love those soulful, passionate voices. Have been your fan since season six. Waiting for the next album and agree with Scott; your voice pays great tribute to those soulful songs! Hope you have concert near northern California someday; will be the first in line to buy a ticket. God Bless you and most of all thank you for the pleasure of your gift!!!

Melinda, what a treat to hear from you. Millions of us know you should have won and love you forever. Thanks for sharing your wonderful evening with us and thank God for your voice.

melinda , really good singer, love your smile. i am happy for you.

great voice
