        I am one of Melinda Doolittle's Backups and Street Team members. It was such a treat to be among the first to hear her new songs and just to see her perform again. We knew Melinda was slow-simmering something good and it was a meal worth waiting for. Please tell me where you will post video clips of the performances so I can pass it on to all of her fans; and they can get the same thrills (well, near-same thrills 'cause nothing compares to seeing Melinda in a live performance) that she gave everyone on Sunday! Actually, I enjoyed the whole day; and I look forward to next year! ;-) Collapse

        I am one of Melinda's many supporters and fans who attended her solo concert debut. Please, please release the video of this event so that more people can enjoy this amazing woman's performance. We were treated to favorites from her time on American Idol as well as new releases from her debut CD due soon. I was a good concert-goer and did not record the show, but I want more of Melinda's fans to see and feel what I and others experienced. Nothing will ever replace live-Melinda, but can we please have a little Melinda-net to share? After a tasty meal, diners always want a little something to remember the "yummy"! ;-) Collapse
