we heart Melinda

I don’t watch American Idol. Let’s just get that straight up front.

But I know when we’ve got a local vying for a title on a nationally syndicated television show. Shoot, I even know someone who knows a certain now-local-celebrity vying for a certain title on said certain TV show. So I keep up with how she’s doing via friends who regularly watch the show.

Last night, America sent our Melinda Doolittle back home to Nashville. I can’t attest to whether that was just decision. I don’t know the competition. But I do know that Melinda was well-received on the show for a good long run. I know that she is talented. And I know that she will be welcomed home with open arms.

“Melinda is undoubtedly the best singer this year. She’s brilliant. But, remember last year with Chris Daughtry. The best singer doesn’t always win the competition”

Welcome home Melinda! You’ve got big things ahead of you. You’re from MUSIC CITY for cryin’ out loud!

    Did you see that the Memphis Flyer had an article with the headline of “Bredesen costs Dolittle.” I couldn’t get the web site to load this morning so I can’t say for sure what the article says…but I found it interesting.
