Melinda Doolittle's Post-Idol Success

Dear friends,

I am very confused as to why Melinda Doolittle from Season 6 of American Idol has not be snatched up by a record label. I have been craving some of her soulful singing and I think the world needs as many REAL singers as we can find.

Instead, the only thing I have seen her do is a commercial for a restaurant? A CHICKEN restaurant? Oh lord...



"Crunch, crunch, mmmhmmmmm."
