Melinda Doolittle Talks About Life After 'AI'
Learning that her journey on American Idol had ended Wednesday night was "the first time that I had taken a breath in a really long time," Melinda Doolittle said Thursday.
"Knowing that I had made it this far and knowing that I was going to be able to sing from here on out without being judged and voted, it was just like this sigh of relief," she told Ryan Seacrest on his morning radio show. "Now I'm getting ready to sing just because I love it."
"Two amazing people are in the finale right now and I couldn't be more proud of them," Doolittle, 29, said, referring to finalists Jordin Sparks, 17, and Blake Lewis, 25, who will compete in the finale next week. "Those are still my babies. I'm still their mama. I'm so proud about it and don't feel cheated at all. There are always opportunities out there to grab onto and to take a hold of so I'm just ready for that."
And, according to Doolittle, Simon Cowell may be prepared to help her find the right opportunity. "Simon was especially supportive and said, 'I want to see you succeed,' " she told Seacrest. That means the world to me so it was great to hear last night."

Melinda,
You were the best voice on American Idol, and I was turned off from the show entirely when you were voted off. My Mother loves Gladys Knight, and found her next superstar the first time she heard you. I am so happy you got to live out your dream in singing right next to her, and I was touched by "Midnight Train to Georgia", the only part of American Idol I chose to watch after hearing Gladys Knight would be appearing. Thank you for being an excellent role model, and from a fellow musician and vocalist, I wish you the best of luck and am sure your new CD will kick butt!
I really think you should have win, but it does not matter anymore, because you are the winner anyway. I want to support and purchased you cd or DVD.
I think you are the best...
