hear melinda roar

9. Melinda Doolittle
Song: "I'm a Woman"
Me: Another song choice performed earlier in the season. Overall, a safe bet that sounds just as strong as when she sang it the first time. Wish we could've seen something new, though. Then again, I'm just happy she didn't opt for a ballad. I'm glad that -- outside Randy's song selection -- she did mainly attitude-driven songs tonight. Should be enough to secure her spot in the final two.
Randy: "That was hot again."
Paula: "You're stepping out into the spotlight with no regrets, no looking back."
Simon: "Loved the little striptease at the top." (She took off a jacket or something. Big deal.)
He also said she deserves a spot in the final two.
Score: 8/10

I loved how Melinda showed us three different sides of her: emotional diva, Tina Turner-esque attitude and, well, I'm not sure what the last one was. But they were three very different songs, and she did great with all of them.
