What is my perfect crime? I break into Tiffany's at midnight. Do I go for the vault? No, I go for the chandelier. It's priceless. As I'm taking it down, a woman catches me. She tells me to stop. It's her father's business. She's Tiffany. I say no. We make love all night. In the morning the cops come and I escape in one of their uniforms. I tell her to meet me in Mexico but I go to Canada. I don't trust her. Besides, I like the cold. Thirty years later, I get a postcard. I have a son and he's the chief of police. This is where the story gets interesting: I tell Tiffany to meet me in Paris, by the Trocadero. She's been waiting for me all these years; she's never taken another lover. I don't care, I don't show up. I go to Berlin. That's where I stashed the chandelier. - dwight schrute, the office

This vocalist is stunning. She makes sappy pop songs actually sound powerful!!

[@erikziak1249]

True. But only because the song was not garbage in the first place. The lyrics finally had a chance to stood out for themselves and the band made them stand out. With the original pop version, so much potential of this song was buried, but the producers wanted it like that. We can consider ourselves lucky to have witnessed THIS OUTSTANDING version of the song. I would like to know what Britney thinks of the arrangement itself as well as the performance of Melinda. I really love this version, while being indifferent to the original.

Not using her charm to fool the guards, but exuding so much confidence she just walks by them. This song plays and cuts between her putting on perfect black gloves and taking the valuable item and the woman bond is with leading him onto the dance floor in a wood brown and gold room full of socialites in headresses. All bisexuals die immediately.

@ Thank you for the time mark! Fantastic moment

[@laurahoughton1289]

Yeah. I’m trying to work out why it’s so effective. I think because it’s not as predictable. The singer is caught between submitting to the forward march of the music and losing her capacity to submit to it.

[@gynack]

@@laurahoughton1289 Could it just possibly partly due to the fact that Melinda Doolittle has a far better voice, and is a far superior singer to Britney? Then there is also the PMJ arrangement which is far more varied than Britney's, and there's such a good match between voice and instrumental backing arrangement? In other words, it's far better if you think consider sheer musicality.

[@СараРигель]

First I saw the dress, then I heard the voice, then I saw the shoes.(WOW) And then the voice covered everything, how wonderful it is! Thank you

[@sadiesue8069]

Baby, can't you see I'm calling A guy like you should wear a warning It's dangerous I'm falling There's no escape I can't wait I need a hit Baby, give me it You're dangerous I'm loving it Too high Can't come down Losin' my head Spinnin' 'round and 'round Do you feel me now? Oh, The taste of your lips I'm on a ride You're toxic I'm slippin' under With a taste of a poison paradise I'm addicted to you Don't you know that you're toxic? And I love what you do Don't you know that you're toxic? It's getting late To give you up I took a sip From my devil's cup Slowly, it's taking over me Too high Can't come down It's in the air and it's all around Can you feel me now? Oh, Taste of your lips I'm on a ride You're toxic I'm slippin' under With the taste of a poison paradise I'm addicted to you Don't you know that you're toxic? And I love what you do Don't you know that you're toxic? Don't you know that you're toxic? Taste of your lips I'm on a ride You're toxic I'm slippin' under With a taste of a poison paradise I'm addicted to you Don't you know that you're toxic? With the taste of your lips I'm on a ride You're toxic I'm slippin' under With a taste of the poison paradise I'm addicted to you Don't you know that you're toxic? Intoxicate me now With your lovin' now I think I'm ready now I think I'm ready now Intoxicate me now With your lovin' now I think I'm ready now

Thanks fam

[@GabrielFerreira-vo7xx]

Thanks❤

[@Carol-ii3uh]

Thanks ^^

[@xogulxo2]

the tonality of her voice is soo beautiful I don't know how else to describe it

[@krazyxki]

Her voice is heavenly! She has such good control too, omg I could listen to her sing forever. And the musicians gave me chills.

[@Tricob1974]

I've been wanting to hear a song from this genre for a long time; you folks just made my day. And Melinda Doolittle just nailed this song. Two thumbs up! :-)

[@janicejanostak2545]

I had to really turn up the volume so I could fully appreciate ALL the nuances of her voice!

[@PyroMynx]

Omg, the chorus! I raised my eyebrow and mouthed "Wooooooow!" I love how she owned this song! Whew! *fans self*

[@elijah4430]

Her voice is unbelievable. Love everything bout this

[@leilaniv2000]

ms doolittle completely blew me away with her voice. as soon as she started singing i was captivated by the sound and song. so thankful i clicked on this video

[@FrankieJazzFox]

Chills everywhere! The more I hear this the more I love it 😍😍 How she just holds back, and holds back the BAM!!! This is my new favourite PMJ arrangement I think x

[@FrankieJazzFox]

'then BAM'

[@GypsyInFenra]

This woman's rendition of the melody and her slight rhythmic changes from the original make my musical brain so happy.

[@carveylover]

I love Melinda I always wondered what she was up to. PMJ does love those Idol alum.

[@janicejanostak2545]

Rachel check out her website she's about to go on tour.

[@mateorubio8279]

she's just perfect omg

[@mbszem4603]

speechless from this arrangement. gooebumps too. blown away by this artistry, the flair, the talent.

[@fawazal-abdullah4039]

This women can sing 😍😍😍

[@gisellegodden4951]

This song is so gorgeous; I love hearing covers that strip it back to the lyrics and use a different genre.

[@summertime35]

Omg Melinda! I was obsessed when she was on that show.

[@Twistedpeppermint99]

Melinda Doolittle covering a Britney Spears song and making it sound like GOLD! Much better than the original. Absolutely LOVE IT! Love the vocals and I love those horns back there! Awesome job.. Just discovered you guys recently and love every song you perform.

[@obsidian8180]

Not really. This version is sexy and the vocals are brilliant but its not particularly original. The actual song with all its quirky strings is standout

[@gynack]

@@obsidian8180 If you like thudding drums, strange distortion and other Dance features. Were these features particularly original to Britney's version or were they common features of that time and genre? You could well argue that it shows quite a lot of originality on the part of both PMJ and Melinda to take a track like Britney's Toxic and completely transform it, both the backing and the vocals. The PMJ version of Radiohead's Creep sung by Haley Reinhart is probably the best-known and most popular of them all. She also sings Britney's Oops I Did It Again with them.

[@Twistedpeppermint99]

@@obsidian8180 : that's my opinion and I'm sticking to it!

[@TinTin-jh1gk]

Omg I remember her. She finished 3rd place on American Idol Season 6!!!

[@sophiamarchildon3998]

Thank you all for this beautiful rendition!

[@justinnyugen7015]

PMJ is like the new home for American Idol alumni or something

[@srpilha]

With your avatar this sounds so _deliciously_ naughty. Rrrrrr

[@hayakawakai3261]

i know! and I love it!! nice to see alums doing something great!

[@sugoruyo]

It's groovy baby yeah.

[@mslpfanatik]

There are a couple off the last couple of seasons of The Voice that would be phenomenal with PMJ. India Carney is one.

[@iandean1112]

mslpfanatik India could and would own something on PMJ! Gospel cover of ANYTHING!

[@amidar6634]

When i was searching for EXACTLY like these kind of songs, where was youtube, seriously, i love this so much

[@norarivers2744]

How did I not hear this until today?! July 2023! It's fantastic 💛✨

[@Dragonivon]

A voice like an after-sex cigarette... smooth, smoky, and makes you want some more.

[@humanincarnate316]

Dragonivon Wow....beautiful simile

[@Ukebee]

this is one of the best metaphoric describtions I heard in a long time. Nice!

[@mangled_babe]

okay

[@theguywithsomething8634]

A voice like an after sex cigarette... reduces your ability to perform, you take it knowing it is likely going to be directly responsible for you never seeing your grandchildren, it's becoming increasingly expensive as the government tries to stop you using It, and makes your breath stink. And kills your partner through second hand inhalation.

[@davis8326]

Dragonivon you sound like you’ve had an interesting story

[@joepollard3228]

Melinda Doolittle has always been a fantastic singer, but when she joined forces with Scott Bradley, it was absolute magic. What a voice! What an arrangement! Perfection!

[@annlambchop9111]

finally! another singer who knows how to use her high notes, brief teasers throughout the song and then with great controlled belting placed at the end for maximum effect and climax. Unlike most of the recent PMJ singers who hit the high note halfway through the song and ended screaming in most of it. l wish PMJ will go back to its roots...

[@camyrella7991]

OMG! This is the best version I've ever heard and her voice is perfect! Just amazing!

[@arzuhasanova7756]

I got goosebumps and had wicked smile on my face. this is crazy way to sing to sing this song. hats off.

[@annarose2714]

Oh man I loved Melinda on Idol, and she's only gotten better!

[@hamadryad]

Omg I just met her today at my school! She performed for us at Midland Valley high and sung Home from the Wiz and this song and it was so magical. Felt like I was floating out of my seat! Thank you so much for performing for us Melinda!!! Youve inspired ❤💞💓💓
