Melinda Doolittle Facts

Although she was born in St. Louis, Missouri, Melinda has always considered Brentwood, Tennessee, to be her home. After her performances in American Idol in 2007, her homecoming was held in Brentwood. She had later settled down in Franklin, Tennessee.

When she was in middle school, she had told her mother that she had wanted to participate in a musical talent show. Although her mother and her youth pastor knew that she had never sung much before, they had both encouraged her to practice as hard as she could. At the talent show, she gave a performance that was much better than everyone had expected. This is when her mother realized that she had a bright future in music.

In her 2nd broadcast show in American Idol, she had performed My Funny Valentine, a popular jazz song by Mitzi Green. Her performance had received fulsome praise from the judges and was ranked number 3 in the American web portal and online service provider AOL‘s list of ‘Top 20’ Idol performances. Until her elimination from the show, in 3rd place overall, she had not been in the bottom two or three of the competition at any stage.

She had performed the national anthem of the United States during Game 5 of the 2007 NBA Eastern Conference Finals between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Detroit Pistons.

In April 2010, she had published a book titled Beyond Me: Finding Your Way to Life’s Next Level.
