 NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - The three remaining `American Idol' contestants took to the streets Friday — of their rapturous hometowns. Local loyalists showed all day just who they thought should win Fox's wildly popular singing contest, which will feature some of the scenes next week.
Back before she was an "American Idol" finalist, Melinda Doolittle was a Belmont University mascot. She wore a hot, sweaty bear costume and jumped around in the name of school spirit.
The tables were turned on Doolittle in a big way when she returned Friday to her alma mater. Hundreds waved signs and shouted encouragement to her: "We love you, Melinda." "You're going to win, Melinda." "Doolittle's Da Bomb." "Melinda for President."
