I just can't wait to see him struggle his way through what I'm sure will be a ballad-like song, just like "A Moment Like This," "Inside Your Heaven," etc. because he just doesn't have the vocals for it, and his beat boxing will end up destroying the song, so it should be pretty humorous to watch his attempt. :)

American Idol – Melinda Doolittle Not Surprised By Results

Even though Melinda Doolittle’s elimination might have been an incredible shock to many viewers, Doolittle herself had an inclination that it was coming. In a recent media conference call, Doolittle explained “You know what; when he [Ryan Seacrest] called me upfront, just by the nature of the show and how it normally goes, I kind of had an idea that it would be me. So I was kind of prepared for it and I was just kind of taking deep breaths and kind of ready to go to the next step. It wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be. I thought I was possibly going to lose it, but it was actually a happy occasion that I made it this far. So I’m kind of glad it turned out that way.”

Melinda Doolittle plans to continue to pursue her music career. Melinda described the style of album that she wants to record in the following way, “Oh gosh, the only way that I know to describe it is just soul music. You know, anything from the heart. I love a groove; I love anything where I can tell a story. And so to me, I just kind of describe that as soul music. I hope to have just a great soul album.”

When asked why she often looked shocked or surprised after receiving a compliment, Doolittle explained “You know what; it is part of my personality. Plus I was coming out of singing background for so many years, I get so used to having to sound like other people that American Idol was my first time really stepping out and finding out what my voice sounded like. So the fact that people liked it and were giving me good comments was surprising to me. It was a great honor. But it always kind of shocked me right at first.”

When asked who she joked around with most among the other Idols, Doolittle said “Goodness, everybody is hilarious out here. I’m kind of the momma of the bunch because I’m the oldest, so I call them all my babies. I felt like I kind of hung out with them. Jordin, being the youngest, is my baby girl, definitely. But I mean we all hang out, Blake, everybody. Blake is kind of the class clown, so he might have been one of the funniest ones.”

During the competition, American Idol judge Simon Cowell was a big supporter of Melinda Doolittle. After her elimination, Cowell offered up some kind words to Doolittle. According to Doolittle, Cowell told her that he really believed in her and wanted her to succeed.

Also showing support for Melinda Doolittle were some of the artists that she used to sing backup for. When asked if she had heard from any of them, Doolittle replied “I have; I’ve heard from quite a few artists that have just been extremely supportive to me and excited for me, because a lot of them have only heard me sing background, so this was something new for them also. So they were kind of on the journey with me and they were extremely, extremely excited about it. So it’s been a great run. They’ve been supportive. Even when I ask questions they’ve been extremely supportive in the press and everything for me too.” Doolittle went on to list some of the artists by name, “CeCe Winans, Anointed, Martha Munizzi, Risen, Sandi Patty, kind of mainly just gospel artists that I’ve been singing with, so it has been great to hear from them.”

In addition, Melinda Doolittle also received support from American Idol 5 finalist Mandisa. Doolittle said “Mandisa has been great for me. She has just kind of been the person that understands what I’m going through, so if I need to bounce anything off of her I can. And not necessarily advice other than, ‘Be yourself. Love it. Live in the moment. And give 100%.’ So she’s been a great rock.”

Oh, I don't have any problem if he's gay! I don't think he's all that hot, honestly. It's the vision of Chris Richardson letting Blake GRAB HIS DICK that got me off about, eh, 45 minutes ago, LoL
