		<description>I thought she crushed it on Ellen.  This may not be everyone&#039;s sound, but it is definitely Mindydoo&#039;s music -- you can see the joy, and even better you can hear it.  This is a genuine musician, a singer&#039;s singer.

Is she going to sell as many records as David Cook?  Is this the best record she&#039;ll ever make?  Of course not.  But who cares?  She&#039;s at the beginning of what will be a really strong career, if she follows her heart and does what she&#039;s great at and loves.

As for the debate about vocal strain, I do know what JSG means.  There&#039;s been a big fashion over the past decade for very ornate, very high pop singing by women, vocal aerobics a la Mariah Carey, Mary Blige, Whitney, etc., but all over the map in terms of talent.  The more elaborate and showoffy it gets, the more meaningless to me.  I mean, what happened to restraint?  Even Janis Joplin sounds like she&#039;s less over the top than some of the screamers.

But I don&#039;t hear that at all in Melinda.  I hear a remarkably agile instrument that can do many things &lt;em&gt;without&lt;/em&gt; straining and keening.  She&#039;s also a very technically together singer, who knows how to breathe, to pace, to sustain notes and snap off phrases.   This is someone who takes care of her voice.

And I stand by my earlier suggestion that this is one of the better records made by an AI contestant, precisely because it&#039;s not something cooked up by the commercial folks.  It&#039;s really an expression of Melinda, a tremendously talented singer.</description>

		<description>I downloaded ItÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s Your Love and I enjoy it well enough. But I donÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t think Melinda challenged herself making this CD of covers and I want more out of her. It is undisputable that she is a technically gifted singer who can interpret lyrics. What she showed on AI, and what ultimately got her voted off short of the mark, is what she is showing with this CD. She sings other peopleÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s songs very well but there is no Melinda there. By doing covers, she is still in the background. ItÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s like the high-achieving student who doesnÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t take the AP classes and gets the highest GPA in the graduating class. It would be great to hear a more vulnerable Melinda Dolittle who really steps out of the shadow of the notes, takes some chances, allows herself to be less than perfect, and shows me through &lt;em&gt;her&lt;/em&gt; music who &lt;em&gt;she&lt;/em&gt; is.</description>

		<description>Melinda was amazing.  Beautiful voice.  Looked great.  Yay, Melinda.

I wonder if that was a good choice of first single, though.  With the first single, artists usually do radio tours.  That will be a hard song to sing at 8 o&#039;clock in the morning at a radio station.

Best of luck to the wonderfully talented, Melinda Doolittle.</description>

		<description>I always loved her - just goes to prove that the bets talent often ( more often not actually) is not the &quot; winner&quot; on American Idol. 

Makes no difference - she IS a winner and the album will sell really , really well . I am running out to buy my copy tomorrow after hearing that performance .</description>

		<description>Hopefully, with the success she will have with this, a cover album, great songwriters will step up to the plate and present her with some marvelous original material.  Does she write and compose?</description>

		<description>Melinda rocked on Ellen&#039;s show.  She will last--one of the best singers I&#039;ve ever heard.  The CD is awesome.  I&#039;ve bought several for Valentine&#039;s gifts.  I wish her the very best, and I&#039;ll be following her career with great interest.</description>

		<description>New here.  Just joined because I had to comment (we-ell, rant):

Damnit!  I&#039;m annoyed all over again.  I thought I was over it but apparently I&#039;m not.  How did she not win season 6???  LOOK AT HER!!!!  Are people crazy?  She is the most seasoned performer AI has ever had, one of the most likeable, quite possibly the best singer, and she has great stage presence.  Damn, damn, damn!

Sorry, rant over.</description>

		<description>OK...
I went and found &#039;Wonder Why&#039; and that is the type of song that Melinda should be using to promote her CD.
It is a beautiful vocal backed by a keyboard. Nothing else. No background singers, horn section, or percussion. It is a vocal on which Melinda soars with nothing else but a keyboard.

(Would this not be a more cost efficient way to promote the CD instead of paying all these other musicians or are they part of Obama&#039;s stimulus package).

I just get the sense Idol graduates feel coloured by the same brush; the public expects them to display wild vocal chops on every recording, simply because they were on Idol.

Kelly Clarkson&#039;s most successful releases are songs no normal human could ever sing, yet her most restrained work from My December(my favorite) tanks commercially.

Carrie Underwood Sunday night on the Grammys, a blatant example of over singing.

David Cook&#039;s &#039;Lights On&#039; is a solid rock song until her starts reaching for the stratisphere with some of those notes.

Kat&#039;s &#039;I&#039;m Over It,&#039; a song that was never worth the effort that was required to sing because it was never really that good of a song.

Any song by Jordin Sparks that is not a duet with Chris Brown

Of course there are exceptions and Archuletta is clearly one of them.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;What I should have said is why do most Idol graduates feel the need to perform such vocal gymnastics on their debut CDÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s?&lt;/blockquote&gt;


Okay, then I guess my next question is to which other Idol graduates are you referring?

I&#039;m seriously curious.

I don&#039;t hear vocal gymnastics here, in this performance, or anywhere on her CD.  I do hear straight-up singing, though.  

What&#039;s impressing me most here in her Ellen appearance is the fact that I see some serious &quot;performance growth&quot; where Melinda Doolittle is concerned.  She&#039;s clearly in her element.

		<description>J.S.G.  Have you heard the cd?  I don&#039;t hear alot of vocal gynmastics at all, just some good old soulful singing.  If you were expecting some typical watered down R&amp;B Melinda isnt gonna deliver.</description>

		<description>Crap!  Where do I begin?  Whatever Melinda Doolittle sells, I am buying.  She is one of the best vocalists to come off of that show.  This song is all kinds of wonderful.  The voice, the performance, the emotion.  I too heard no strain, Mindydoo does this without breaking a sweat.  I cannot gush enough.  I also thought the little interview was cute.  She is so personable.  That blouse was cute too, lol.</description>

		<description>Okay, &#039;strain&#039; is clearly the wrong description. What I should have said is why do most Idol graduates feel the need to perform such vocal gymnastics on their debut CD&#039;s?

And yes Melinda does havve a distinct R&amp;B tone which is buried amid that background noise that &#039;Its Your Love&#039; evolves into.

This song does not showcase Melinda&#039;s talent which is why I am a little disappointed.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;IÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢d hardly call that Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…â€œstrain.Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  If there ever was a technically skilled singer, itÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s Melinda Doolittle.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
I agree.

		<description>I agree too.  It&#039;s great to hear someone sing with so much power and not make us think about how hard it is.  One of the nicest tv personalities ever.  I still watch her &quot;I&#039;m a Woman&quot; performance on occasion, good stuff.</description>

		<description>I love this and think she is so much better than Jennifer Hudson, who in my opinion oversings.    This is pure singing and with such a beautiful tone.   Really beautiful.    Definitely buying this one.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Do Idol graduates all have to strain their voices on every national t.v. appearance?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I&#039;d hardly call that &quot;strain.&quot;  If there ever was a technically skilled singer, it&#039;s Melinda Doolittle.

The album&#039;s great.  Should it matter that she recorded it in roughly the amount of time KLC recorded hers?</description>

		<description>Really liked Melinda on Idol....but....the longer that song dragged on, the more I disliked it.   
Too much instrumentation that end up being nothing but background noise.

		<description>When I first heard that she was doing an album of all covers, I thought &quot;Oh no, here we go again.&quot;  But it is a very well produced album and Melinda&#039;s vocals are spot on.  It&#039;s not normally a genre a gravitate to, but I really like &quot;Fundamental Things.&quot;  And, yay to the Ellen appearance. It&#039;s so nice to see good things happen to good people.</description>

		<description>I am so happy for Melinda.  It looks as if she may finally be receiving the support she so deserves to kick her career into gear.  Her performance was thrillling.  If this is indicative of her album, I will absolutely purchase it.</description>

		<description>I love Melinda and I just like to see her happy. We&#039;re never going to get someone like her on Idol again. I heard Melinda might perform on Idol, has anyone heard anything about that?</description>

		<description>Words cannot express how truly excellent her album is. Wow! And live -- goosebumps.

A fire has been lit inside Miss Doolittle and it is shining through in her music.</description>
