Melinda Doolittle is a WOMAN
Are we watching American Idol or ARETHA Idol?
The most enjoyable American Idol performance of the night from the Top 8 girls was Melinda Doolittle’s rendition of Peggy Lee’s “I’m a Woman.” Melinda, 29, blew the roof off with her performance and the judges went wild.
- Randy said, “You were the hottest one of the night. You deserve it. You’re a consummate pro! You’re ready to go into the studio and just make a record. You’ve got it going on.”
- Paula said, “You are so pheneonmal. You’re so likeable. You’re lovable. You’re brilliant on stage. You’re fantastic.”
- Simon said, “You little tiger. I thought we had a Pussycat. I love that!”
MEOW! Watch the video of Melinda Doolittle’s performance of “I’m a Woman” below! W-O-M-A-N!
Don’t miss Carrie Underwood on American Idol tomorrow, when she’ll perform her new hit “Wasted.”

Love love LOVE me some Melinda Doolittle! She was the best last night! She sorta reminds me of America Ferrera, actually - kind of coarse features, but she just has this shining light of a soul.
Malinda is a beautiful woman, a true performer with a fantastic voice. I don’t know where anyone gets off saying she’s ugly. She’s just as attractive as anyone else on the show: she dresses well, appears to have a wonderful personality and is not full of herself. I can’t see anyone else surpassing her right now.
I don’t understand the discussion on whether Melinda is beautiful or not. This is a singing competition, not Miss America. Does it matter? Look at Melinda compared to the other contestants. We have Antonella Barba whose definitely sliding on looks, b/c in comparing voices, Melinda blows her out the water. Antonella should have been eliminated last week and the week before. The true singers are easy to pick and I love this woman. Looks do not matter!!! If she can sing, she can sing! It’s very simple…
wow she rocked my socks off last night. wow!!!!!!!!!
hello people! this is a singing competition. Who said neck-less people cant win Idol? suck it up cuz she will be the first one!
Actually, she represents what I love about Idol. People who are not normally considered “commercially appealing” (ie. physically perfect) have the opportunity to be heard, and they blow it out of the water! So far, she has outsung every pretty little thing out there (Ms. Aguleira excepted).
Melinda deserves to win this thing! And it isn’t even top 12 yet! Her singing is unmatched, and her modest personality is the cherry on top. Looooove her!
She is not too ugly to be an American Idol. Kelly Clarkson won didn’t she?
She may be able to sing but she’s so ugly! She’s not going to be able to sell records.
She is AWESOME! Great voice and nice attitude. I think she looks great and I will repeat what has been said- IT IS A SINGING COMPETITION! Elliot Yamin and that Chicken Little dude were both ugly as dogs, but they were still on the show last season. Gees!
To all you oversexed nit wits who think that bleach blondes with a pretty smile, a curvy body and an empty head is what makes a superstar, I say shame on you all. You are the very ones who helped convinced the no-talent, pea-brain Britney Spears, who didn’t even finish school, that she was God’s gift to entertainment. Gyrating half naked and sweating up a storm under lights in not singing and it is not entertainment.
People should have more substance to them than good looks and a talent for chewing gum in public and night clubbing. See what happens to over-hyped lookers with no brains and no substance? They crack under the pressure of Hollywood and mindless adulation. They are all in and out of the revolving door of the rehab clinics.
Haven’t you helped to created and encouraged enough losers? How about going for substance and personality for once? Someone who at least appears grounded and sensible and who might be able to survive stardom without disgracing womanhood?
Comments after the first week said it best — ” a black Lily Tomlin” (it’s the baby teeth smile) — and she is the only one who out-sang the backup singers! I think Melinda vs. Blake in the finals….
Wow! When did the world become so based on looks? This is SO sad. She is a real person. Listen to your mom “if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all!”.
There are many sex pot boodie licious no singing divas out there
give me a voice, i don’t need a video!
Wonderful performance! Outstanding! best vocals I’ve everheard. she’s going all the way to the top!!! Looks can be deceiving but its the voice that counts. hehehe She’s the best!
What a beautiful,talented,extraordinary young woman.WOW!I will pray for all of u who talk negatively about her.you obviously have personal issues about yourself.(i.e.your appearance,personality,likability).God will elevate you MELINDA to even greater heights just to show people that it doesn’t matter what folks say,but what HE says.
NO NECK DOOLITTLE!!!! UGLY, UGLY, UUUUGGGGLLLLYYYY!!!!! I SURE HOPE SHE GETS THE BOOT!!!
Sassy Girl, shut the F*ck up. Seriously, all of you who are jealous of talent should go fornicate themselves with a fork.
GOSH!!! HAVE YOU EVER SEEN SOMEONE SO UGLY THAT THEY JUST MAKE YOU MAD………WELL MELINDA DOOLITTLE IS THAT PERSON FOR ME.SHE HAS GOT TO BE THE UGLIEST PERSON THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN.YES, SHE CAN SING, BUT I JUST CANT GET PAST THAT FACE. LORD………SHE LOOKS LIKE ROSIE PEREZ BUT WITH HER FACE ROLLED OVER WITH A STEAM ROLLER. GOD FORGIVE ME, BUT DAMN!!!!! AND WHERE IS HER NECK???? OMG!
Sassy girl, you top the charts in uglihood, even your taste & personality sux!
Ha, Ha, Ha that is sooo funny!! No neck Doolittle sure knows how to stink up the stage!! She needs to take her UGLYYYY A** home and hide away from the public eye. Can’t believe someone that ugly would show her face on TV!! BLAKE IS THE BEST!!!!!!
Melinda IS pretty even without a neck, she is charming, smiling and seems genuinely surprised to be that good. It is obvious that at the beginning of the competition she lacked self-confidence and she was surprises by her own success. Now she might be acting a little which is understandable although she talked back to Simon with a very good sense of a-propos… She is remarkable, sweet and her singing gives me the shrills everytime. She is going to be more than an American idol, she will be an international legend and people who do not see it coming are blind.
Reality time.Clay is selling more albums than Ruben.Melinda seems nice as pie,her voice isn’t that remarkable.You can find women that sing as well,or better in most southern black churches.It’s called “Idol” for a reason.Y’all know she looks like a hippo.She’s just not the total package.Where’s Frenchie?Even Fantasia,who is cute,is on broadway.Mainstream media is very superficial.Britany can’t sing,but she WAS hot and had an image.Jennifer Hudson was in the right place at the right time.Sorry folks,that’s the brutal reality of the popular musit industry.Now the Jazz scene…that’s another story!
Melinda Doolittle looks like a cave woman I think she maybe the missing link !
Melinda got ((((THE BOOT!!!!)))) Life is GOOOODDD!!!!!!!!!
