In 2008, Gospel Dream, the Christian and gospel music equivalent of American Idol, crowned Melinda Watts as the winner. Now Watts is ready to share her music with the world with her debut album, People Get Ready.
Watts says she had a lot of peace while she was competing on Gospel Dream. After the first week on the show, she says, she knew the experience was God's plan for her, even if she didn't win. "I understood that even if I didn't win, it was time for what He had placed inside of me [her music] to be released," Watts explains.
