More than a year after her third-place departure, American Idol season 6 alum Melinda Doolittle has finally found a record deal, EW.com has learned. Doolittle will join the roster at independent label Hi Fi Recordings, the current home to Todd Rundgren. The label also has had a hand in successful efforts by Avril Lavigne and Spacehog, among others. Hi Fi was founded in 1995 by music industry vet John Hecker and was originally a joint venture with major labels Elektra, Arista, and Virgin Records. Doolittle's debut is expected to be released this fall, but an official street date has yet to be determined.

Its about time, this girl is amazing! She should have won her season of American Idol. If they put together a good album and market it right, she will be golden!
This is good news. I have been listening to all her AI performances and she was so good. I can't believe stuff like "no neck" and "too modest!" prevented her form winning.
WILLIAM PETERSEN: Well, this is a shock. The only explanation for this is that somehow in the last year, every one of you tried to act with rubber gloves and tweezers.
