The season Ms. Doolittle was eliminated was the last season of idol for me. She was the best of the best. Phenomenal.

[@braddishv3146]

Me too, I was done.

[@RPull]

@@braddishv3146 Same for me! Clay Aiken should have (and may have) won, but the show runners reserved the right to change the outcome if it suited them; Elliot Yamin was a sensational vocalist and left after reaching the final 3; and then Melinda just blew them all away...and when they sent her home, it came to me that most of the audience voters were morons and would never pick the best singers.

[@yolandasparks4077]

Same here! Instead they gave it to Jordin Sparks. I believe age was the main factor.

[@hoochiemoochie89]

She is one of the best Idol ever had and is one of, if not the most, underrated of all Idol contestants that actually went far. In fact she is the only Idol contestant that I think ever went through an entire season without being criticized by the judges. Her singing is effortless and it is a shame that she is not famous.

[@beingbaniwas8130]

Edward La Guardia Agree. She should have won.

[@joelweisberg]

+Edward La Guardia Related perhaps to Fiorello La Guardia Mayor of NYC in the 30's? Well Ed I agree totally with your appraisal of this talented lady. She has to be one of the best singers in Idol history. In fact you can include all the TV singing shows. Yes Ed, it's a shame she hasn't made it big.

[@aowens9192]

THIS!

[@claudiasiefer8495]

She makes singing APPEAR effortless but there's great talent and technique in her artistry. I am in awe of her

[@crosswaynyc]

She was the only one to never receive a critique. I still remember that fact!

[@Smoothoperator89]

2024 and She is still ONE of my Top Female choices on AMERICAN IDOL. Her voice was like SILK 🌹🌹

[@Loudah1]

For me, Melinda Doolittle is AI's greatest loss.

[@kielytalksalot]

Everyone, just to let you know, Melinda is a frequent collaborator with one of my favorite groups- Postmodern Jukebox. So she's still lending her voice and doing some phenomal work.

[@redtexverzosa]

oh my, who still watching this? best version i've heard!

[@ginad8238]

I’m watching in 2021 and I agree!!💯👍🏽❤️

[@Loolooette]

Still watching!!!!

[@dr.idrisaliusman6446]

Totally agree,still watching in March 2024.

[@ronaldguz]

One of the best vocalist to ever grace the american idol stage.

[@rencomia]

2024, marathoning Doolittle's performances

[@heffa3821]

yesss i am especially loving the end... I don't know what it's called but when she does a world full of 'love' like yours like 'mine'.. the tone/sound/depth of the words' love and mine seems amplified sound from the soul xD DON'T KNOW HOW TO EXPLAIN IT!!! ??? and sends me into bliss?

[@bevacole]

me too...😂 😂

[@redalrt4]

Regardless of what the judges say, standing ovations speak for themselves.

[@heffa3821]

COME ON NOW WORK IT!

[@Pokemonrasta1998]

She made Paula cry, you go girl!!!

[@buffyboyster]

I mean Paula is high off her mind too but I guess she cried because of the song too lol

[@sainttrunks1982]

Melinda and Paris are the *Most Underrated* American idol contestants of All-Time

[@alicemiriah]

Agreed

[@thousandyardgavri2785]

Vonzell Solomon, Paris Bennett, Melinda doolittle , Haley Reinhart, Allison Iraheta, Hollie Cavanagh, Elise Testone, Candice Glover, Skylar Laine

[@helloxons]

Is it too late to vote? All these many years later & she's still one of the best that ever did it...!!! This was better than perfect!!! 02:18.

[@NewHopeRichieRich]

The BEST Idol Contestent........She Should have WON. My favorite. Love you!!!

[@jessicarees9057]

That’s when I stopped watching. She should have won, she was the greatest.

[@philiphurban9498]

That song has never been boring. She did an amazing job of it and Diana Ross has been killing this song for decades

[@chrystal.clairtv7532]

IKR? She did something else with this song. That I haven't heard before.

[@babd7176]

I guess you haven't heard the original by Stephanie Mills, huh? Look up her performances of this song.

[@philiphurban9498]

@@babd7176 oh yes I have. I have a few of her albums from the late 70s and early 80s. Love her music and I remember her being on broadway

[@morgannemyles5711]

She preformed for us...she sang this and I still watch that video every week.

[@josephfer07]

She was not only one of the best voices on AI, but her personalty was amazing, so down to earth!!! Melinda was the one to beat this season, I don't a female singer has come as good as her since!

[@abharvin12]

Probably the most underrated performance on Idol of all time..

[@ByromJosh]

I got to meet Melinda. She's such a sweet, humble person! God bless you, Melinda! :-)

[@SapphireLiev]

"A young Gladys Knight"....WOW. Now THAT is a compliment, and after listening to a couple of other songs by Melinda, I can hear it now too. Yeah, he's right, she's on that scale and that's such a beautiful compliment.

[@lynndavidson6554]

What an absolute pro! It just doesn't get better than that! I so wish she could have hit the big time. So sad she didn't win -- one of the most inspirational voices and performers ever on American Idol, or anywhere, for that matter! Someone give this girl a shot on Broadway -- she would be a huge hit! Love you, Melinda!!

[@notbatman1000]

She and Lakisha were the best that year!! This was her best that year!!

[@christiancrocetti9940]

Bruce Baldwin She said this is her favorite song to sing.

[@The67jeffery23]

Probably one of the best idol performances 🥹🥹👏🏾

[@cgaudette]

I could listen to Melinda all day. What a fabulous voice.

[@katyarnold-ji8sv]

I love!! Melinda Dolittle voice. She can sing!!! she is a phenomenal!!!! singer. Why didn't she get a recording contract. This woman is up there with Whitney Houston talent.

[@Girlshine]

Melinda never hits a bum note. Her vocals are flawless and effortless. A true gifted talent. FANTASTIC!!!

[@Christ-Believer.]

Amazing performance❤. How can she not be a winner

[@hawkrider88]

Lord have mercy! Give me goose bumps and she should have won the entire thing that year.

[@hawkrider88]

Still gives me goosebumps!!!

[@TheHawkinsGroup]

Melinda Dolittle has one of the best, authentic voices to ever grace the stage of American Idol.

[@tomflaherty1114]

The best voice ever heard on American Idol - She reminded us that look & style are a distant second when it comes to sheer musical performance. Such a rare talent, and one less celebrated in today's music forum - what a shame...

[@rebbylaurente5514]

She punched each words with her amazing voice. ❤️

Quite simply the best. At this level of virtuosity, she rises so far beyond any talent contest into the ranks of the great journeymen pros.

This is Stephanie's song originally.

Incredible talent. Undeniable voice. Timeless performance.

[@feroldreymichaeloregencia3344]

My favorite contestant ever Melinda Doolittle!!!

[@ivelosthewilltolive]

Gives me goosebumps too... every time

[@ednonjohnaparicio430]

Melinda is my favorite in this season.

[@JacobElyachar]

Still one of the greatest "Idol" performances of all-time! When Diana Ross stated that Melinda gave her goose bumps, you could tell that she was going to be one of "Idol's" best singers ever.

[@estherdavis7312]

2023 and I still love her voice 🎶🎵❤

This was my favorite performance by her..

[@mantrasoul]

you oughta be world famous, absolute top tier

[@kindragoodman5852]

Beautiful young woman of God !

[@normadelpin4289]

Look at the song choices for Melinda Doolittle on AI. Who today has covered any of these showcase/sophisticated pieces? She was pure quality. I think if the judges could have voted for the winner, she would have been chosen.

[@frankedward6510]

She was amazing. This was not her best performance, but it was still amazing. Wonderful vocalist.

[@lilsassystar7988]

the banter between ryan and simon here was great!

[@luvergurl42]

She is sooooo AMAZING! Theres not one thing that I don't absolutely love about Melinda!

She's touring with some of the other 07 season finalists, saw her a few weeks ago, and she is awesome live! She FINALLY released an album, its on my birthday wish list...

[@ClaudioWeisz]

One of the best singer in the show, any season!

[@uwoeric]

And her album is incredible!!

[@reddmann18]

that girl took that song cooked it and ate it whole. lovely bravo bravo

[@take942]

She was amazing, hit it out of tbe park!!The fact she did not win showed me how much of a scam that show actually was.

[@AshiharaNakatsu12]

SHE IS SO AMAZING! OH MY GOD!

[@chenxi1963]

best version ever!!!

[@tiagobrum3655]

Second part was INSANE. She's awesome. Perfect.

[@R.A.A.]

I LOVE THE LAST PART WHERE EVERYTHING END , NOTHING MORE TO SAY OR SING .. JUST THE MUSIC WRAPPING UP THINGS TILL THE END .. MUSICALLY ITS CALLED " *CODA* " (the passage that brings a piece to an end) As a 24 Years #PIANIST , since I was just 6 . As a qualified person to lead an entire #ORCHESTRA .. THE #MAESTRO .. I just want to say to every MUSICIAN (PROFESSIONAL OR AMATEUR) To every ARTIST who may have to follow my strict rules , believing in my artistic directional compass ... : THANK YOU ... THE MOST POWERFUL , BEAUTIFUL AND UNFORGETTABLE PART OF MY LIFE IS WHEN I WAS JUST A FEW FEET AWAY FROM YOU , MUSIC IS THE ARTISTIC PYRAMID , AS ABOVE SO BELOW .. THATS WHY WE HAVE BEEN TOGETHER SINCE THE DAWN OF CIVILIZATION .. WORKING AS A ONE UNIT ... STANDING BY EACH OTHER FACING THE WORST AGAINST HUMANITY TOGETHER , WE ARE THE LAST WORLDWIDE STANDING WONDER (THE GREAT PYRAMID) the one that remains standing intact during the world most brutal natural disasters ... UNLIKE THE REST THAT TUMBLEDOWN PIECE BY PIECE ... TAKE A LOOK AROUND US , EVERY OTHER COMMUNITY THAT DOES NOT BASED ON WHAT WE ALL SHARE #PASSION WILL NOT STAND A CHANCE TO SURVIVE , LETS FOCUS ON HOW MANY MORE PEOPLE CAN WE CHANGE .. TRANSFORM THEIR HEARTLESS NATURE AND AGGRESSIVENESS TO A NORMAL HUMAN BEING WHO CAN BE MOVED EMOTIONALLY BY A SAD MUSICAL TRAGEDY ... 🙏🏼😔🎹⭐️

[@mzzh]

may i also say...i love melinda's speaking voice too. she just has a magnetic voice...this performance was amazing. i cried like paula lol

[@hawkrider88]

Still crazy over the top...she didn't win because the company didn't think they could sell records with her. Without question the best of the season....far and away.

[@chriscoyne3534]

Diana did a good rendition of the song for the movie. But this is Stephanie Mills' song.

[@mrbilingual]

I totally disagree, I think a 19 year old Whitney blew this song away kicking off her fame!

[@chriscoyne3534]

+Richard Stapleton True, She should have recorded it because i love Whitney's version.But Stephanie Mills is great too and made this song huge

[@jiovauntellc520]

Chris Coyne yeah . It's Stephanie's song . #Period

[@BamaFan-vc4gn]

I'm not quite sure how it could be Stephanie Mills song when it was originally written for and sung by Diana Ross who made it famous. Stephanie Mills is quite talented but in every performance I've seen her sing the song it was overproduced and over song with too many runs and too many vocal sylas ations that jacked with the original Melody. You'll never get me to say Stephanie Mills isn't one of the most talented artist to ever grace the stage but there is such a thing as overdoing it and in this case she was guilty of that over and over again.

[@richardmayora1289]

@@BamaFan-vc4gn Uh..genius. Stephanie Mills starred on Broadway in The Wiz and guess what this song is from? Mills sang if first, then Ross in the worst movie musical of all time..but not her fault. I have been seeing Broadway shows for nearly 50 years and Mills has THE prettiest sound I have ever heard.

[@NCAAPhilippines]

This is so much better than We's version
