Melinda Doolitttle is in the middle of what she would call a growth spurt. In this conversation we talk about how growth isn't really a result we are after, or a destination to reach, but more of a constant process that we are going through. And she's currently going through it! Which is why this is the perfect time to have this conversation. So often we wait until we have "arrived" or have it figured out to share, but I am learning that sometimes sharing along the way and being vulnerable is when the most magic happens.  After coming in 3rd on Season 6 of American Idol, Melinda Doolittle left the world of background singing and was catapulted into the world of being an artist. Gracing stages from The White House to Carnegie Hall…The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame to The Kennedy Center, Melinda has had the honor of achieving dreams she didn't even know she had. Now, having released two CDs and a book, she is finding ways to give back in her community and abroad as she continues to tour with both her band, and symphonies across the country.  ******** BEFORE YOU GO:  Thank you to our sponsor, Vivint Home Security. Use code Chelsea30 to get up to 30%.  I'd love to know what you thought of this episode.

For the final episode of our Untraditional Traditions series, Jen's good friend, American Idol alumni Melinda Doolittle, is with us to have an enlightening chat with Jen, which, as Jen readily admits, is 90% not about Christmas at all—and since we're being untraditional this year, we're here for it!  Jen gets Melinda to spill all the behind the scenes scoop on what it was like to come through the American Idol machine, including how it felt to be the oldest contestant for her season (at the ripe old age of 28, mind you). They also set the record straight about what happened when Melinda “ignored” Tyler Merritt for a year (let's just say it involved not knowing how social media works). Finally, since it is our holiday series, Melinda tells us about her favorite Christmas ever, which involves her yearly Christmas show in Nashville, TN, and the very special guest that happened to be in the audience that night. * * * Thank you to our sponsors!

We were roommates, so we were extremely close. And she knew who she was. She knew what kind of artist she wanted to be. She had auditioned for lots of competitions. She just knew who she was. And I was like, ‘Can you teach me, 16 year old? Because I don't know.'” - Melinda Doolittle  “I don't think anyone's prepped to ascend that quickly or to have that level of critique. Literally the whole country was saying what they thought of you.” - Melinda Doolittle on life during American Idol “I truly feel like dreams came true that I didn't actually know I had. I think I hadn't allowed myself to dream about what it would look like for me to be an artist and to step on stages and have my own story to tell.” - Melinda Doolittle “All I wanted out of life was to be the Black Barbara Streisand. I discovered that I could write some songs. I was okay with that, but I wanted to sing those classic songs that made everybody move, made people cry, made people feel something.” - Melinda Doolittle “[At my Christmas show] we do a version of 'All I Want for Christmas,' that is my happiest place. And I swore I would never do that song because that song is the gold standard for me. It is Mariah Carey and I will never be her. So to make that song fit me, but to still be true to it, that was one of the most exciting arrangements I've ever come up with. Ever.” - Melinda Doolittle   Guest's Links Melinda's website Melinda's Instagram Melinda's Facebook   Resources Mentioned in This Episode People Loving NashvilleMelinda's Christmas Show in Franklin, Tennessee Connect with Jen!Jen's website Jen's Instagram Jen's Twitter Jen's Facebook Jen's YouTube

Ronnie 1:19 Above the basement awesome music and conversation. We are listening to Melinda Doolittle singing I'm a woman in 2007 with a voice that transcends not only genres but generations. It is fitting that Melinda has come back as a special guest performer for the third time with our friends at the Boston Children's chorus. We sat with Miss do a little just before the BCC his final performance of the season at the iconic Wang theatre. The theme for this concert was lift every voice with gratitude and celebration of the women in our lives past, present and future. While Chuck was taking the day off celebrating two young women in his life as they performed in dance. I was joined by friend and a TB co host Ike Walker, can I had the honor to share the mic with a couple of super women of the future? Our own daughters and BCC singers is the nlb.So here's our conversation with Melinda doula, along with my friend, her dad and my dad recorded at the box center, Duane cedar in Boston, Massachusetts.Ronnie 2:22 Thank you for coming here at BCC again. Oh, of course.Belinda 2:25 This is my happy place.Ronnie 2:26 And it was 2012. You started with the BCC I think, right? IBelinda 2:31 don't know, years. I'm really bad at that. But I know that this is my I think third or third time getting to sing with the BCC and it is literally one of my favorite things to do. Hands down. Anthony sorry, Dr. TK?Ronnie 2:46 Yes. Dr. Anthony Teresa king. He is the director of BCC, right? Yeah,Belinda 2:52 he has. He and his wife, Melanie has just become dear friends at this point. So it's just as simple as him texting being like, hey, I want you to sing with the kids. Again. I'm like I'm in. I mean, it's really that quick, because it's great. something so special to me.Ronnie 3:06 So it's not a surprise that we're on the heels of a symphony hall concert that was about she persisted. Yeah. And so we're bringing the theme forward, really to talk about not just women, but about connections and about overcoming social problems in the world. Yes, we just heard you sing sisters are doing it for the self in the hallway. How did that set the tone for the evening? How did it feel?Belinda 3:29 Oh, my goodness. Are you kidding me? I mean, first of all, they're introducing a sister's choir right now, which is like the moms and the audience and this and the Sisters of the kids. And so it's so powerful, because everyone's on that stage, giving it all they've got, I can't believe I get to be a part of that. So there's just there's just an energy. And if you know me at all, you know that I will be dancing everywhere. Probably messing people up because I always get in their face. And then they're like, what am I singing?Ronnie 3:58 Whatever you do, don't look at yourBelinda 4:01 Close your eyes. But it's just I think it's just so powerful. And it's what we need right now. And I think Music has always had a way of speaking what mere words just cannot, you know, there's just something about music being coupled with your words, that just gives it a new power. And with that many people on stage singing that I mean, who can't be moved by it, you know? So I'm very excited.Ronnie 4:29 Yes, we got a little bit of a sneak peek. We spoke to Jason homes before. And a little bit we heard about the sister choir, we heard about some of the songs are going to be singing. So we're very excited about it. So I wanted to ask you a question. I'd seen a quote that you said about American Idol. Because you were on American Idol. And the quote said that not only did American Idol change your life, but you thought it changed our culture. I don't know if you remember saying that. But I was really I was really intrigued by that. So I was wondering, you know what, you know, when your thoughts were there, by the way, it was 2007. I know.Belinda 4:58 Wow, that was That's right. You don't remember yearBelinda 5:01 2000?Ronnie 5:04 kind of remember that?Belinda 5:07 I definitely I know. I said that. I don't remember when I did. But I know I said, because I feel like American Idol was kind of that first show that allowed America to go ahead and vote and then give their voice to something. Yeah. And I think it was kind of a good and a bad thing. To a certain extent, because you have people who have never sung a note in their lives voting on whether or not you can write and it's it's so interesting. It's made us all kind of armchair experts. Yeah. And sometimes that goes well, and sometimes it doesn't. But it did kind of expose us to being a part of something and being a part of something together. And I think that is the beautifulBelinda 5:51 thing about yes, I do love that. It's such a shared experience in a way that we don't have as much right, you know, in our modern culture that you know, tonight when everybody's in the theater together, that's a wonderful shared experience. You know, on TV, everybody's streaming and things like that, you know, the idea that everybody's watching American Idol when it lives. Yeah. And that's like, still a shared a shared moment.Ronnie 6:10 Yeah, exactly. And, you know, we used to watch live TV all the time, and having American Idol and other things like that, that are alive, like a baseball game. It's like a novel concept. It's like, wow, we're all doing this together. Like I said, you know, so we have two guests hosts with us on above the basement. And I wondered if they had some questions for Miss do a little What do you think? First of all, remind me your name and how old you are that kind of stuff. And who you singing with?Abby 6:40 Hi, my name's Abby, and I am 11 years old. And I'm in western house training choir. Awesome. Hi, I'm SZ I'm 11 years old. And I'm in the western house training choir Europe, etc. Awesome. So tonight is a tribute to a woman who are heroes. We call them heroes, who is your hero in your life.Belinda 7:05 My hero is actually my mommy. My mom is just my rock, she always has been she's a strong woman, she raised me as a single parent. And so it's literally just been the two of us since before I was one years old. So she just moved in with me about a year and a half ago. And I'm so happy to have my mommy around. And I take her on the road with me sometimes if I can. And she just embodies what it's like to be strong and not to let any adversity stop you. So anytime things were hard, her attitude is what changed the picture for me. And what helped me to see the good in things instead of looking for the bad first. And she remains my hero to this day. My she wrote,Abby 7:54 what was it like? Do you performing at the White House in 2007? Oh, wow.Belinda 8:01 First of all, one of the coolest things ever, of course, I was so excited. And one of my favorite parts of being a part of that is that before we even saying, there, there was a dinner in the State Dining Room and President Bush at the time, he came up with the seating charts. And he sent me right next to him, because he wanted to know what it was like to be on American Idol. We talked over soup and dinner about the judges what Simon was really like and all of that. And it was maybe one of the coolest experiences ever. And then I got to sing Somewhere over the rainbow with an amazing Children's Choir that just completely blew me away. And it was quite the experience. I was so nervous. I was shaking like a leaf. But I'm so glad I got to do it.Ronnie 8:52 Alright, we have another question.Abby 8:53 Ready? When you think back to your American Idol days, what is the song that most come that comes to mind that makes you smile? The most?Belinda 9:02 Oh, that makes me smile the most? That's a great question. First of all, um, gosh, I think I'm going to have to give that to I'm a woman being on American Idol was very scary for me. And so I would always be really nervous backstage. And something about that song empowered me to just, I mean, walk it out and give it everything I had. And I think I needed that to kind of take me to the next level of performance even, it's just have some fun, and get in Simon's face and sing it to them, you know, like, that kind of thing. And it also, I used to be a background singer before I went on American Idol. And that song in particular, had the background singers featured at the end. And so I got to include them and walk back to them and kind of be one with them. And so for me, I needed that just for that strength.Ronnie 9:56 That gives me kind of a chilled here. Because there's you know, you probably saw 40 feet from stardom or whatever. But to have that bond with them of the years that you work and you're incredible singers and have a support team. But then for you to be literally under the spotlight to have that kind of nod to them.Belinda 10:15 It was it was pretty huge for all of us because I think I've been so comfortable being a background singer that it means stepping out was really scary. And they knew that and they were so kind to me the entire time because we were like sisters in this and so they were doing it for themselves. Exactly. So they were way supportive. And I was like can I walk back to you and and sing with you and they were like please come we'll give you all the strength you need. And so that song was literally a song that I repeated later on and even saying when I got voted off because I needed that and I still had my women with me even when I got voted on Oh myRonnie 10:53 gosh. What a just a beautiful story for this for this evening tonight to definitely I think is he has one more right I'm ready is theAbby 11:01 millions of people got to know you on American Idol in 2007. Tell me a fact about yourself that your fans would find surprising.Belinda 11:08 Oh, really good question too. Okay, wait, that's hard. Okay, that my fans would find surprising that I don't like crowds at all. Like, I don't like big groups of people. SoRonnie 11:22 like, if you're in like a train station type of thing, orBelinda 11:25 anything, it's almost just humorous that this is my job like that my job is with an audience because, like, people make me nervous. And so like really anything over four people, and I freak out. So the fact that I singing for thousands is a little freaky for me. AndRonnie 11:45 well it says a lot because music has made many people overcome many things and it doesn't matter what your challenges are, you know, whether it's personal or social or something else. I think it says a lot about your connection to music you don't doesn't surprise me that you are your craft and your incredible talent is actually get you to do that,Belinda 12:07 right? It's true. It's true music can make me do what nothing else can it gives me energy that nothing else does. It gives me courage that nothing else does. So music for me is just a godsend.Ronnie 12:21 That's wonderful. So you brought up your your past as a background vocalist? Yeah. So I'm curious, you know, performing with the the BCC with the children's chorus today, you know, which is kind of a really big group of background vocalist. I'm curious, you know, for Izzy and Abby, and everybody in the audience, you know, what are some of the commonalities of singing in a chorus versus being a background vocalist? And what are some of the differences?Belinda 12:43 Well, what I love about the BCC is that they work on blending with each other, listening to each other, and being a part of something bigger than yourself. And that literally is what being a background singer is, you're listening to other people, you are manipulating your voice to make a certain sound like, he will even ask Dr. Anthony trust that King will even ask you, you know, to give a more round sound or a flat sound. And that kind of thing is the stuff that you have to listen for as a background vocalist, right, is just changing your voice to fit a situation. And then being basically you guys are like the rock of what is happening. You guys are the bed that the artists gets to lay on when they go on stage. And it's such a great, great thing to have created. You'reRonnie 13:33 standing on there. Well, yeah,Belinda 13:34 I get to stand on what you guys have created, which is so powerful for me. Because I need that I need that underneath me to really give everything I have. And I can feel it when I don't have it on stage which is which happens often. But to have the BCC behind me. It's just something so wonderful for me. And it gives me just a new courage to I don't get scared when I've got 200 people on stage. Yeah, cuz I've got peopleRonnie 14:02 before we hang it up. What's next for you in in general? What are you working on?Belinda 14:08 I am actually working on my next record right now. So I'm very excited about that. Because it goes with the show that I've been touring recently.Ronnie 14:17 Great American Songbook. Yeah, right. SoBelinda 14:19 it's all classic soul music. And it's the music that has a message behind it, you know, like the Marvin Gaye's and the SAM Cooke's and the Aretha Franklin's and Gladys Knight and that kind of thing. And so I'm recording that record. Right now. I'm still touring. I'm actually getting ready to get on a ship on the Norwegian Escape and do the Broadway show after midnight. Oh, man, I get on the ship tomorrow. So I'm getting ready to do that for the next eight weeks.Ronnie 14:46 Wow. And do you need backup singer on the ship?Belinda 14:50 They do have a wonderful cast on stage with me, which is well, that's great. And I'll do my own show once a week on the ship. So it's it's a really great experience. And then I do Symphony shows. And I'll be recording my next recordRonnie 15:03 will look forward. It's Melinda Doolittle. com.Belinda 15:06 That's it.

Welcome to Kid Power Radio. I'm your host Max and each week I review what's happening on TV, at the movies, books and music I like ...You get the idea In Nickelodeon news this week I watched a creepy show of Martin Mystery!! What happens when a zombie-ghost haunts a new  hotel??? The guests leave and that's where Martin, Java ,and Diana take place!!!!!! This week on Cartoon Network I watched a funny Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends! Okay, so Edwardo finds a $100.00 bill Now everyone wants it but, in the end Edwardo is the only one who gets what he wants!!! As usual I watched American Idol Oh my gosh you'll never believe who got eliminated in American Idol!!! Melinda Doolittle! She had the most talent out of anybody so she'll sell the most records! In the movie news. I saw Shrek 3 today and it was good.  I would give it 3 out of 4 stars. I would also give it a B+ I think you should check it out!  You should also check out the website www.movies.yahoo.com and you can see the trailer for Shrek 3 and all the other movies that are coming out this summer. I love summer because I go to the movies every weekend. Sometimes we see 2 or 3 movies in a weekend. It's awesome.  Happy National Comic Book Day!!! Now just a few weeks ago I was saying this!! I went to this Comic Book Store and guess what? I got like 12 FREE comics!!! These are the ones I've already read  1.Justice League of America,  2.The Simpsons,  3.Legion of Super-Heroes in the 31st  Century and 4.The Amazing Spider- Man Well, I have more to read so, maybe in a few shows I'll mention the other comics!!  In the book news I read the book Wayside Stories from Wayside School by Louis Sachar. That book has 30 chapters for every story of the school!!!! Wow!!!!!!! The book is hilarious and I recommend you should read it!!!!  Funny Wacky Packy of the weekâ�¦ And the winner is Hex Mix!!!!   Instead of Chex Mix!!! Now, you can make up your own or you can tell me one of your favorite wacky packages and I'll say it on the air if you email me it!!!  Listener Question  This week I got 2 emails. thanks Brooke, Jackson and Jonah. And a special shout out to Max and Stacy from the Max and Erma restaurant near my house. I had lunch for the first time and they gave me true Radio Star treatment, which I'm sure they give everyone. You have to check out their amazing kids build your own sundae bar. All the toppings are inside of a bath tub...they have oreos, nerds, m&ms, sweet tarts, andes mints, hot fudge, blue whip cream, everything you can imagine and the best part is it's only like $1.29. You've got to try them. the mac and cheese was great too. Go to their website www.maxandermas.com and see if there is one near you.  Remember to name the song I sang on the air and first one to email me with the artist's name and the name of the song gets a special shout out next week. Thanks everyone for sending in emails. You all are now official members of the Kid Power Radio Street Team. Your job is to tell all your friends about the show and if they email me they could get a special shout out just like you did. Remember, you can email me at RADIOSTARMAX at YAHOO.COM That's it for now. See you next week.  Adios!!!
