Absolutely top singer/performer in season 6! No one even close that year. And, dream r/b concert for me would be Melinda (soul/rb), Micheal Johns (rock/rb) and Anoop (pop/rb).
If next season has an rb nite, they could use the three of them for guest artist slot and let them share the stage on something like this version of Crazy Love.

flyaway — THANK YOU. I absolutely adore Amos Lee, and to see Anoop jam with him and hold his own (his voice sounded so sweet and clear) is a delight. do you know what the occasion was?
I wish I lived in New York so I could see my girl Melinder. She is a superb artist, awesome, interpeter of songs–just exquisite. I agree with every one who said that she is the best pure singer ever on Idol. The night that she got voted off was the most pissed off I have ever been at this silly show. I vowed never to watch again, and did boycott the finale. She really deserves a long career in music.
I wish she had more success coming off Idol. She’s a wonderful singer and we should be glad for any opportunity to hear her. Those able to see her perform are very fortunate people!
(Good grief! I see *d*m mentioned even in Melinda’s topic!)
I have to say, I haven’t watched anything of her in a while but she is one hell of a singer. She is definitely one of the most talented singers ever on Idol. She is a little old fashioned, which is why she may not be finding huge success but she is a fantastic vocalist, and seems like one of the most genuine contestants ever.
The girl still has it. She is amazing! Thanks mj.
Any reviews of the show???? Please share…
Melinda is a success. She’s making a good living doing what she loves. She is awesome, and her music isn’t old fashioned it’s timeless. Well she ever top the charts, probably not. Will she ever be a back up girl again? I don’t think so. Someone suggested she and Ruben do an act together. Doing grown up songs, written by folk who value what they bring to the table. Exquisite voices that need no autotune, no costumes, just a solid band behind them. I would get on board for that. I was wishing I could see her. It may work out. I doubt it though, damn vacation I planned makes funds limited. There will be a next time though, she’s not going anywhere. Trust me.
excellent post, abbysee — just one thought: “grown up” really does include kids with good ears. Michael Buble is hugely popular, so is Nora Jones — with young people as well as adults. I grew up on this music, and loved it along with rock. and there are a lot of kids now who “get it” too.
