Blake Lewis and Jason Castro…Together!

Published on 10/02/2009 in American Idol, Blake Lewis and Jason Castro. 33 Comments Tags: , .

Last night, Blake Lewis (runner up Season 6) and Jason Castro (4th place Season 7) performed an impromptu duet of the Jason Mraz song, “I’m Yours”.

Blake and Jason were on hand for the The “Pretty in Pink Ladies Night Out,” a benefit for breast cancer, in Roanoke, VA.

Jason plays Ukulele and Blake throws in a little beat boxing. I love when Idols from different seasons mix it up. It makes the Idol geek in me very happy. The performance ain’t bad for a last minute thing.

    This is one song that I always wanted Jason to sing so it’s like a dream come true, yeah! It’s not bad considering Jason just learned the chord on his ukulele the same day.

    From the review:

    I got the chance to sit backstage with Castro and Lewis before my deadline. “Let’s do something together,” said Lewis. “All right, man, what?” said Castro. “Maybe some Jason Mraz?” said Lewis, who practiced Mraz’s hit song “I’m Yours,” with a little beat box rhythm. “Yeah, let’s do it,” said Castro, who said he was going backstage to learn the chords on his ukulele.

    I really enjoyed this. The audio isn’t very good, but I thought for a song thrown together, they did a pretty good job. I like both these guys and I hope their albums do well.

    Since they are both promoting new albums I hope we will see them on Idol this year?!

    Blake is extremely musical. I loved this live mash up. It was fun.

    I agree! I see Blake having longevity in the music industry, either as a performer or a producer.

    Well, the sound quality was weak. Jason came off better than Blake on that. I’m pretty impressed that he learned the chords right before the performance. He was probably cementing the lyrics too. Blake sang only the chorus, which was decent harmony, but came off as a pretty light jam session. And the beat box? On I’m Yours?

    I really did enjoy this. Jason is probably my all-time favorite Idol! I see lots of talent in Blake and hope he has success with his new album.

    ” I love Castro. I still think season 7 was hands down the most talented’ ”

    I have to agree and was very happy I saw them on tour. I like when Idols of different seasons get together. More, please.

    I just tuned out Blake and focused on Jason’s voice. This song is so up his alley! :)
