since we seen the best dozen, I would love to spend a dime for producing Melinda.....lol listen im gonna take a wild guess and say you're no musician ....let me help you out (musically speaking) I have liked very few singers on this talent contest over the seasons although i recognize most of the finalists have some real talent but Doolittle is truly the real thing ...im not saying shes gonna win ..im only telling you she is a phenom.,... she is twice the singer that carrie kelly clay ruben and fantasia are combined.....understand im not voting and i dont care if she wins and i also am not trying to convince you...and she may not sing what you or anyone else likes taste wise however the fact remains is its bordering unfair &lopsided but the cream doesnt always rise so who knows (and yes I know you said she is good) dont underestimate though
