Jason Castro came across as very laid back durring the show and maybe shy and nerovus durring the end. I wish him luck in his career but is one of the one of AI liked him better on the show then off personality wise and I guess he just surprised me with his real personality did a 180 I thought it was nerves when smilling but was according to his quotes was actually him. Jason quotes he seems like “whatever.I ambetter,dare you say that about me” those smart guys who do not have a clue and no I do not think he is that funny. Vocally I will see how his cd is.
Side note -so it is ok for him to smile when someone is kicked off but noone else was? I do not think so and it was not nerves it was Jason being Jason.
Loved these. His is the only post-idol CD I might buy other than Taylor’s. Maybe Brooke’s. To think he did this well without all the training and performance history that so many other contestants bring in over the years. I loved the clip that showed his Hollywood round. Wouldn’t mind a download of that full song.
I like how Jason brought out the fact that there’s not a “Hallelujah” available in every week’s song list to choose from.
There is a little more of the Jason I loved in these videos than what came across in the early morning MyFox interviews.
Thanks, MJ.
I loved the interview. Jason was being himself from the beginning to the end.
I’m happy that he left the show happy instead of weepy. Nothing could be changed Wednesday. He had made peace with whatever was going to happen. Seeing Jason leave smiling made this fan feel better.
His mom and brother did give off a warm vibe. That pre-hug moment with his brother cracked me up for some reason. Michael, his brother, seems pretty entertaining. Maybe he will change his mind and try out for AI. He has 8 years to decide.
This is the one thing he said that I thought was really insightful and indicative of the show. The judges (esp Simon) kept wanting more “Hallelujah” moments fom him, and when there is a limited song listor a restrictive theme, that is just not going to happen. Especially when you are a stylistic singer like Castro. Sure, Cook can slow the tempo and emo-ize any tune, but that won’t work for Jason’s voice.
Jason is the cutest and the sweetest. What a cool guy.
