I think Melinda is attractive enough, she has a great smile and this "no neck" stuff is getting old (it's all over the net)...I don't understand the amateur stuff either...most if not all these folks have been singing most of their lives, voice coaches, singing in bands etc...going from being a backup singer who's job is to NOT be noticed and to make the lead look and sound good to being front and center is a huge step and more than makes up for on-stage experience. To me, it's a way of being critical of someone who allows no criticism by her performance!
