Melinda Doolittle

Third place finalist on the sixth season of American Idol and Simon Cowell's "personal favorite", Doolittle's classic, mature, soulful sound has been compared to Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight, and Tina Turner.  Hailed by the New York Times as a "phenomenally gifted" singer, Doolittle is known for her easy-going stage presence and expansive repertoire ranging from ballads to Broadway to pop.  This powerhouse performer is sure to please.
