My friend was fun too...never went to college and ended up with 2 kids on welfare and gained about 100 lbs. Her boyfriend died (he was 40) and she just went downhill after that.....
Mebbe the name is a curse.
Scene from her homecoming--she got a parade a street named after: Melinda Doolittle Way
Her choice is a rocking blues tune. "I'm a woman--W-O-M-A-N!"
Randy: "I'm seeing the range of Melinda Doolittle. That was hot!"
Paula: "You're in the spotlight. It's awesome!"
Simon: He says that based on consistently great performances, she should win. Later he adds, "I want to see my girl Melinda in the final."
