"Someone who, when given the platform, represents who they truly are and can convey it in a way that makes the audience want to know more."
--Melinda Doolittle, on her definition of an American Idol, www.americanidol.com
(Today's entry is brought to you by Lindsay Hemphill)
When Melinda Doolittle auditioned for Season 6, she was auditioning as a background singer who had gotten the push to audition by her friends. In a season where the younger contestants were often taking the spotlight, she was able to take it right back and prove that she deserved to be there.
As the weeks progressed, everyone could just watch her confidence grow in her own performances! It was a joy to watch the transformation. As the weeks continued, she became a clear front runner who everyone thought was going to win, and she fell into the trap that many front runners face: fans getting too comfortable with their favorite contestant, so she “only” came in third, but really….she will have a great career! So, please enjoy my two favorite performances from Melinda!
