melisma

Singing more than one note on a single syllable. To be used in moderation. Abused to the point of absurdity by R'n'B and pop singers (usually but not always female) as a way of showing off vocal capabilities, much like an Yngwie Malmsteen solo. Egregious offenders include Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Christina Aguilera, and Boyz II Men.

Sometimes called runs, or vocal runs.

Quit with the melisma, bitch! "Yeah" does not have 23 syllables!

Mellissa

a girl who is unlike any other you could meet, she's not afraid to stand for what she believes in, astonishingly great in bed. A Mellissa has the heart and body of an angel and anyone who meets her will feel unworthy of being in her presence. Mellissa's are mostly attracted to Joshua's and have a very cheeky but cute way of thinking. If you do not have a Mellissa in your life you should definitely get one.

Boy 1: Wow! did you see that girl? she is amazingly beautiful.
Boy 2: She must be a Mellissa!

Melyssa Ford

One of the finest carmel brown supermodels to ever come from North of the American border. I'd be her lawful wedded husband if she'd have me. Jessica Rabbit is her nickname, but Viagra with legs is more like it. She has appeared in almost every major hip-hop video in the last two years., including Usher's "Yeah!". If I were to die today, I'd like to be reincarnated as one of her favorite pairs of undies, or just a new molecule of her body.

Melyssa Ford is the true definition of a beatiful women inside out.

Melyssa for will be my wife one day if she'll have me

Melyssa Ford ain't bad, she was just made that way!

DDDDDAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMNNNNN!!!!!!!!!

Melissaed

To be made so happy by the mere thought of another person that a huge smile overtakes your face.

Dude, what's with the smile, did your boss's wife just play a symphony on your skin flute? No, I've been Melissaed.

Check out this fish that I caught with the corn-kernal, it looks like it's been Melissaed.

Malissa

Malissa means “little bee.” It is Roman in origin, and is a name gifted to special girls who grow up to be leaders and are natural-born warriors. Malissa can charm you to her will in seconds, size you up, and if she decides you are not worthy of her company, it takes a valiant effort to gain her trust and respect. If she deems you worthy, you will have an ally for life. She is quick to judge, and has many talents. She can also be quick to anger, but usually an understandable reason.

Malissa is my favorite person in the world.

Mellissa

1) Wonderful woman, intuitive and intelligent, classy and sexy all rolled up into one. Has a flair for the arts and is very talented has a knack for writing words that form into something that resembles poetry but it is so good it needs to be classified as "her work" or "floetry". I know no other like her, all the way down to the way she spells her name.

2) A woman who has the most beautiful eyes and an infectious laugh that is like music to the ears. Her outer beauty is mesmerizing, truly unparalleled and can only be matched by her inner beauty.
