Hundreds upon hundreds were outraged when Melinda Doolittle didn't make it to the finals of her season (Season 6), but she has not been disappointing her fans since the show ended in 2007. She released a version of "My Funny Valentine," the song that really made viewers stand up and take notice of her on the show, and it will be followed by a full CD, "Coming Back To You," dropping in February. Every month Doolittle appears on a web series in which fans can interact with her and ask her questions about her life and her music, and she has become extremely involved in charity work, even traveling to Zambia with Laura Bush to raise awareness about the risks and dangers of malaria. Doolittle has been encouraging her fans to donate to the Malaria No More Cause, mentioning it on her American Idol Tour and on CNN, where she has been interviewed regarding her philanthropy.
