Doolittle came in third in the American Idol voting; first with Simon Cowell calling her his "personal favorite" and quickly became the sweetheart of Idol winning over the hearts of all with her stunning powerhouse vocals and her personal charm. According to Cowell, "she is the one who should have won Season 6."

"Like a young Tina Turner, she can go from a slinky purr to a mighty, gospel-charged growl...that'll keep you coming back for more." -People Magazine.

Melinda was tone deaf as a child and was begged to not sing however she kept on singing and entered a talent show in the seventh grade where she stunned the audience with her miraculously spot-on vocals and beautiful voice. She never looked back!

Doolittle graduated with a Bachelor's in Music from Belmont University in Nashville, TN. She became a highly sought-after background vocalist singing for musical icons including Michael McDonald, Aretha Franklin, BeBe and CeCe Winans, Aaron Neville and Jonny Lang.

In 2009, Doolittle released her debut album, Coming Back to You, garnering rave reviews from critics, including The New York Times, which hailed her as one of the most "phenomenally gifted" singers in years. In 2013, she released You're The Reason, giving fans yet another opportunity to hear her impeccable vocals and revealing a bit more of her personality. Also an author, she released her book, Beyond Me: Finding Your Way to Life's Next Level, in 2010. Melinda is currently the well-loved co-host of TV Line's Reality Check.

Doolittle continues to thrill audiences. She has been a featured guest with the Boston Pops, Charlotte Symphony and United States Air Force Orchestra to name a few, including a featured performer at the 2015 Boston Pops Fourth of July Spectacular.
