Access Hollywood - May 22, 2008 1:17 PM PDT

LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- She was arguably the nicest contestant in "American Idol" history, and last night Melinda Doolittle, from Season 6 was back on the scene and updating Access Hollywood about her musical endeavors.

Melinda told Access she's been working on her debut album on the East Coast.

"I've been having a wonderful, wonderful time," the pint-sized singing powerhouse said. "I just got back from NY - I'm working on my first album. And I have never had so much fun in my life. So I am loving it."

Doolittle said her album would be a mix of flavors when it hits store shelves at the end of summer.

"I get to do some retro soul and add a little bit of grit in it," she said. "Add a little Cookie to the soul."

And she isn't stopping there. Doolittle also revealed she has a second album in the works.

    I was just thinking about her yesterday and wondering when I'd hear her again. I too am looking forward to adding more of her to my musical library.

    Melinda Doolittle was definitely the most talented of the AI6 season - too bad much of the voting is decided by 12-20 y.o. and based on looks and "marketablility."

    Anybody knows of a definite date for Melinda's album? Whether it'll at the stores or on line?

    I feel that Melinda was done a serious injustice when she did not win on American Idfol. I think she was the best and most well rounded contestant in the history of American Idol..I am an avid fan and have your version of "HOME" downloaded to my desktop which I listen to quite often. I can't wait for the two new CD's she is working on to drop.

    without a doubt melinda should have won season 6, hopefully her debut album will make up for that tragedy and bring her much success.
