Two days after the American Idol Season Finale, Doolittle appeared alongside the other nine top ten contestants on Larry King Live.
In an exclusive interview with Good Morning America, Simon Cowell stated that the season six title of American Idol should have rightfully gone to Doolittle.

Doolittle was part of the 2007 American Idols tour, along with her fellow top 10 contestants.
Her performances included "Proud Mary", which she sang as a duet with Sanjaya Malakar (joked by many critics to compare 'the best and the worst' of Season 6), a Supremes tribute with LaKisha Jones, and a solo rendition of "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman".

Writer Stephen Holden of The New York Times described Doolittle as a "phenomenally gifted, stylistically adroit [...] Gladys Knight-Tina Turner hybrid [who] brings a compelling honesty to every phrase she sings," and predicted a successful post-Idol career for her.

Doolittle sang "The Star-Spangled Banner" at Game 5 of the 2007 NBA Eastern Conference Finals between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Detroit Pistons.

She was part of the Michael W. Smith and friends Caribbean Cruise in July 2008 as a guest performer, and joined him on his Christmas tour the same year.
She is featured with Smith on the song "Amazing Love" on the soundtrack to Billy: The Early Years.

She has participated in several episodes of a blogtalkradio web show called "Moments With Melinda" where fans can call and talk to her.
Doolittle also contributed to the book Chicken Soup for the American Idol Soul.

Her first single, "My Funny Valentine", was released by Sony BMG in February 2008 through iTunes and Amazon MP3 Downloads.
Doolittle stated that she planned to work on a CD of "soul music"; it was announced in July 2008 that she had signed with the independent label Hi Fi Recordings, which released her debut CD, Coming Back to You, on February 3, 2009.
In its first month, the CD sold over 30,000 copies.
Since its release, the album has sold over 53,000 copies.
