Please, please, please let us know when that album is available! I can't believe she doesn't have one out already. I have been diligently searching every few weeks since American Idol was over and NOTHING. I predict that she will sell millions and millions of CD's if she ever gets one released!

Michele Baird Sat, Sep 6, 2008 at 10:40 PM EST

Wow, so glad I found this site and learned that Melinda will soon be releasing a CD!! I was hoping someone would have the sense to record her, especially after she didn't win. What a voice!!!

Sat, Aug 23, 2008 at 11:59 AM EST

I would like everybody to read the bible judges4 the entire chapter and stop at chapter 5verses 2&3 Barack is special every hand that GOD allows to cast a vote for King Obama& Queen Michelle you are blessed. if you are black you are voting for him because his black keep your curse vote to yourself but if you are voting for him because you see what I see vote for him GOD pictures Michelle as Deborah read the bible especially kings 4 if you are a child of GOD. you will see GOD speaks to your heart concerning this blessed family, and if yo want deliverance from your demons don't dare try to put it on that family whatever form it is. the world will end october 21 2011 you need deliverance don't try to manipulate the King nor his family, GOD don't play, if I can see you. GOD can see you way much more than me. be very careful, the Obama family is loaded be careful satan and your people.they carry on their bodies the mark of the LORD JESUS CHRIST whatch out satan and keep your emissariesaway

the world is hungry to hear Ms doolittle album, I know, because I am one of them that young lady is special she is a queen

R Grimes Tue, Aug 12, 2008 at 10:27 AM EST

'bout damn time! It amazes me that it's taken this long for Melinda to get a deal and cut some music. I just hope that her current producers don't do to her what American Idol did in screwing up her songs in the studio versions. I thought her stage renditions of the songs were much better than the studio versions. So, producers, shut up and let Melinda sing! She doesn't need your advice. She's great without any coaching.

I'm from Buenos Aires, Argentina and I'm a huge Melinda's fan. I think she was the reason to watch Season 6. And I cried a lot the horrible night she was booted off. Now, I'm so happy for her! If the cd is ever available in Argentina, of course I will buy it.

i dont predict a massive first week, but i think she will do great on word of mouth and have big sales in the end.

Elinor Wood Wed, Jul 30, 2008 at 03:41 AM EST

As a mother,grandmother and senior citizen, I would be honored to have her CD in my house. She is truly a gifted singer and I predict a great career for her.
You don't need to be "pretty" to be a winner if you are talented and she is! You don't judge people by their looks(or you shouldn't).
I wish her all the best of luck in her life and career.

John Bostock Wed, Jul 30, 2008 at 03:07 AM EST

For me Melinda is magical. for example, I spend hours listening to Christmas At Belmont 2007... in which she shows off her immense versatility. At Belmont she got into a jazz mode... so beguiling!! Attractively too, Melinda's humility and grace shine through all her performances. The future of song is in the most capable of hands. The Nightingale Sang In Berkley Square. It now sings all over the world.

ben Wed, Jul 30, 2008 at 02:14 AM EST

it's about time! saw melinda when the whole last season went on tour and she was PHENOMENAL. her version of (you made me feel like a) natural woman was jaw-droppingly good. with her incredible vocal abilities, i would hazard a guess her album would be awesome no matter what. can't wait :)

claire thambu Wed, Jul 30, 2008 at 01:59 AM EST

Annie, how old are you? It's time to grow up and smell the roses. I've had just about enough with these so-called singers who use their so-called beauty to sell records. Repeat after me...beauty is only skin deep. Melinda is pretty and talented. You go girl.

annie Tue, Jul 29, 2008 at 11:18 PM EST

Melinda is a good singer but she will not sell a lot of CD. She not pretty.

jason Tue, Jul 29, 2008 at 10:39 PM EST

i can't believe all the comments, and most of them positive. even if the cd is straight jazz or doo-wop or whatever, i don't care. this lady deserves a chance. yeah, it may no sell millions, but at least the 50 so of us will have the chance to purchase music from a VERY talented singer.

Sam Tue, Jul 29, 2008 at 08:39 PM EST

Thank you Jesus! It took FOREVER, but I KNOW it will be WELL worth the wait.

Indigo54 Tue, Jul 29, 2008 at 07:13 PM EST

Mark my words, this is one CD that will be worth waiting for. For those who are anticipating just another soul/R&B package, think again. Melinda's gonna bring it!!!!!

Andrew Tue, Jul 29, 2008 at 06:45 PM EST

James, that wasn't very nice. I'm so glad Melinda finally got a record deal. That fact that Blake Lewis made it to the finale in season 6 instead of her made my really sick.

paula Tue, Jul 29, 2008 at 06:24 PM EST

it's about fracking time, so when can I buy the album, I HAVE WAITED LONG ENOUGH!

opus Tue, Jul 29, 2008 at 03:18 PM EST

Hands down the best singer ever on American Idol. It is about time someone signed her. I will grab up her album as soon as it comes out. Congratulations Melinda!

Joy Tue, Jul 29, 2008 at 02:38 PM EST

Finally! Thanks for giving us the news. She is one of the best singers to ever compete on that show, and deserves to be an international recording star. I love her voice!

EW, when her debut CD comes out, please put it on the Must List. Thanks.

Buddy Boy Tue, Jul 29, 2008 at 12:54 PM EST

She would have won American Idol if she didn't stick to classic R&B. The producers didn't know how to market an incredible soul singer, so they gave the top spots to boring Blake and whoever that girl was who won to ensure they could get a commercial pop hit out of the winner. With the way Melinda sings, she will have a nice long career.

Joey Jo Jo Tue, Jul 29, 2008 at 12:51 PM EST

I only watched Idol because I go to the same church as Sabrina Sloane, who was in the top 15 or something. Once she was off, I stuck around because Melinda has a voice that makes God's heart soar. Can't wait for this one!

Jane Tue, Jul 29, 2008 at 12:46 PM EST

Its about freaking time. She was the only reason why I've ever watched a season of Idol. Once she got bumped off the show, I stopped watching. Just tell me when the album drops and I'll be there to pick it up. It will be the first physical CD I've bought at a store in over a decade.

james Tue, Jul 29, 2008 at 12:22 PM EST

Who?

jake Tue, Jul 29, 2008 at 12:15 PM EST

What took it so long before she got a contract????!! She was all the buzz last year and shockingly finished third. I have been waiting for a CD for a really long time.

EC Tue, Jul 29, 2008 at 11:28 AM EST

I agree with the comments - she is very talented. However, more than a year has passed since she caught Americas attention, and unfortunately, I think many people have forgotten her. I wish her luck, but I don't think she'll make it.

AM Tue, Jul 29, 2008 at 11:26 AM EST

Great news (and about time)! Can't wait for the album. Hope it's good. BTW, when is Elliott Yamin's next album coming out. And what about my girl Brooke White?

rheingold Tue, Jul 29, 2008 at 11:07 AM EST

Go Melinda! You have a solid following and support worldwide. Great to hear that it is an independent label you are signing rather than a major studio where commerce comes first before it signs an artist.

Kathy Tue, Jul 29, 2008 at 11:05 AM EST

Finally!!! I have been waiting for this news for more than a year. I cannot wait to buy her CD. She is fabulous!

groucho Tue, Jul 29, 2008 at 11:03 AM EST

This made my day and I agree with Calrower that her album will finally stop me from looking her up in YouTube when I get a craving for her voice and her performances. I don't think she should do other music for the sake of 'making it' in the market. She has very capably shown us in the show that she is versatile and can sing anything in her own style, her own key, her own arrangements and make them all work. I will support Melinda's CD for sure which is probably the only album of any AI contestant I'll ever have.

Hunter Tue, Jul 29, 2008 at 11:01 AM EST

FINALLY!

Matt Tue, Jul 29, 2008 at 10:58 AM EST

AWESOME!!!! Make sure you post on the front page of your site when it's coming out, EW, so we'll all be reminded to go out and buy the CD!

ANTM Freak Tue, Jul 29, 2008 at 10:45 AM EST

Best of luck to Melinda. She really should have been in the finals instead of Blagh-ke Lewis. I agree with Sally that she needs to go outside plain ole' R&B. A major label wouldn't know what to do with her so indie is probably the way to go. I wonder if Hi Fi has any distribution partnerships, since Avril Lavigne's first two records are listed under the Arista label.

Calrower Tue, Jul 29, 2008 at 10:45 AM EST

This just made my morning. Can not believe it took her so long to get a deal, but I am glad she finally did. It will be nice to not have to youtube her everytime I am craving her voice.

GriotLori Tue, Jul 29, 2008 at 09:59 AM EST

Let others rush (lest public interest wane). Let others take whatever is offered to them (because they don't know their true worth). Melinda Doolittle is not a flash-in-the-pan, past-expiration-date or limited-to-pop culture taste artist. She is a genuine vocalist who is appreciated beyond these borders as well as within. The W-O-M-A-N returns in September. Time to party, people!

Joey Tue, Jul 29, 2008 at 09:49 AM EST

I think it's great that she's got the contract! Like everyone else though, the song will be the deciding factor - I would never buy anyone's album because they did well on a reality show - they need to bring it in the studio where it counts!

Eli Tue, Jul 29, 2008 at 09:20 AM EST

I'd buy it without listening to it first, she's such a talented singer.

Sally in Chicago Tue, Jul 29, 2008 at 09:01 AM EST

Now this is going to be negative so bear with me. I think whatever she does music-wise will have to "out the box"....jazz, Latin, something other than R&B/soul, because she honestly cannot compete with the likes of Jennifer Hudson, Whitney, Beyonce, even Christina Aguilera. They say there's plenty of room at the top, but she's coming in at the bottom, where it's crowded as h**ll. And she's got so much going against her -- age being one. But time will tell if she makes it...frankly, I always throught she was a Sharon Jones &Dap Kings singer....she needs a strong backup band.

MsDaisy Tue, Jul 29, 2008 at 08:50 AM EST

This is probably the one and only AI contestant's CD that I will ever buy. It's about time somebody gave this talented lady a shot.

katrina Tue, Jul 29, 2008 at 08:13 AM EST

It's about time I will buy her CD in a minute, she's was absolutely the best singer of season 6, way to go melinda

Tue, Jul 29, 2008 at 08:05 AM EST

GO MELINDA!!!!

She really should have won. Jordan was great, don't get me wrong, but Melinda was CONSISTANTLY fantastic every week!

It's about time! She was by far the best singer for that AI season. I'm looking forward to her CD.
