Those weren’t my own pics (just something I found; I’m not in the States), bluegreen, but you’re welcome.
These aren’t my pics, either…

Jason looks like he’s up in the air on this one.
Wow, great links, everyone! Thanks for the smiles!

Do I have to start getting all paranoid AGAIN?
And more: Jason’s MySpace music player is STILL minus auto-play, and you KNOW there are going to be tens of thousands popping in to see if date night is happening this week. So PLEASE remember to start the music player yourself when you pop in yourself–and maybe a few extra plays, to help make up for some of those who won’t bother? Again, you don’t have to belong to MySpace to do that!

…No. 4 Jason Castro was effortlessly endearing in his too-short set, serenely sleepy-eyed and strumming a ukulele while sweetly crooning à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Over the Rainbow.à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ (No one cared that he still mixed and mismatched the words).

Season 7’s best performances
Before the past season gets too hopelessly lost in our memories, I wanted to set down in pixels the most memorable performances (as in best) from my standpoint. That standpoint, of course, will differ from a lot of yours (although not substantially — I think practically everything on this list was well-liked by most of you as well) and the broader rankings of whatnottosing.com, which served as a fabulous memory refresher.
Drawn from all the performances in the semifinals as well as the finals, my list originally totaled just 14, which kind of surprised me, but double-checking, those were the performances that stood out in a positive way for me. I reduced it to a top 10 for convenience, but I’ll list the runners-up below it. In order, 10-to-1, here are my Season 7 keepers:

8. Jason, Over the Rainbow: Just when his dazed-and-confused act was starting to pall, he charmed the world with a ukelele-accompanied version of Hawaiian icon Iz’s version of the Ozzie classic.

1. Jason, Hallelujah: But in the end, I have to hand the crown to Jason’s touching rendition (and inspired choice) of the Leonard Cohen/Jeff Buckley classic, a gripping performance of a left-field pick of a great song that summed up everything Idol can be at its best…

LOL! Literally!
Aaaaaand… here’s the review from Variety. Trade papers don’t come more respected.
I don’t know that I agree with the assessment in all particulars–but positive is positive. (Compare with the comments on MJ and Brooke, ouch!)
New bulletin! New blog! New crack thread coming–but until then…
And the vlog! (Leave a comment/play a song!)
New vlog? Check. New bulletin? Check. Anything he missed?
