Bye Melinda
May 17th, 2007 | 1 Comment
To anyone getting stressed over the departure of Melinda Doolittle from American Idol last night, I offer this –
Yes, she was the best singer (by just a hair over Jordin), but every week she proved why she was a background singer: great voice, no personality. I couldn’t believe how someone with such a great voice could be so boring. She has no surface marketability — it’ll take her a while to gather an audience, unlike Blake or Jordin who will hit the ground running.
I truly think that in 30 years, we will look at Melinda like we do Barbra Streisand today — her voice is that good.
But Babs wouldn’t have made it to the AI final either.
