Jason Castro — Shirtless — American Idol 7

ok - I seriously doubt - and HOPE - that the pretty pretty birthday cake in those pics and the pink and purple flowery sweet-16 napkins are not HIS.

He's attending somebody else's birthday party, right?? someone much YOUNGER than he?? He doesn't look that much younger in those pics as he does now . . .

i could definitely go for some toned down sweetness from cook. how funny that jason doing IWALY was going to be lovely and surprising, but syesha doing it? meh, predictable.

GO JASON!
GO DAVID C!

That would be a beautiful arrangement, laff.

I hope David C will start off a capella (sp?) and go into an acoustic strings-dominated thing.

*sigh*

Yes, Jason got Travelin Thru!! There is HIGH potential with this 1 tonight!

And I can't WAIT to see the creativity David Cook applies to Little Sparrow. I listened to this song 3 times & it's a PERFECT selection for him!

I'm nervous & excited about tonight!

Oh, by the way, so predictable of Syesha selecting IWALY that her only redemption (I know that sounds harsh) would be to perform it 'Dolly Style'!

I keep getting freaked out by Carly's face. It reminds me of "bat boy" who used to grace the cover of the old "Globe" magazine.

Syesha is the one doing I Will Always Love You. Looks like Syesha is tired of being an American Idol contestant. :?

TMZ spoiler: Jason is singing Travelin' thru, and my David C is doing Little Sparrow. OMG! That's a song about how women should never trust men!

GO DAVID COOK!

GO JASON!

Amber the spoilers are up at www.tmz.com

And he is singing Travelin' Thru. I hope he does well.

do you have updated spoiler info, daisy? i was starting to really look forward to IWALY castro-style.

Hope Jason knocks "Travelin' Thru" out of the park tonight! :)

Rickey, let me take the time to make my first official post (although I have been a lurker since season 4 of AI) and say.....

THUD!!!!!!

WOWZA!! Love the skinny ones!

All of us Jason fans need to band together tonight and vote our butts off for him :)

right on, jennings! here's hoping :)

I love jungle Jason and I'm sure he'll pick a good song and do a great job tonight.

Dolly's version of IWALY is a very soft and sweet one. Hopefully the judges will educate themselves about that before they go blasting any contestant with a Whitney comparison.

Sorry that was the wrong link...

I love this thread! Can I hang with you Jasonites? Humour has left the building this year :(

I think Jason would do a stellar job on IWALY because nobody would compare him to Whitney. All the others would belt.

Check this out...

For you drooling fans, if you've seen the rest of the series of photos, you'll see Jason is blowing out candles on a cake with "16" iced on it.

I did some sleuthing and unless Jason Castro really end up doing IWALY, that spoiler rumor probably started from the song suggestion post in MJ's big blog.

Cute pics! Jason doing I will Always Love You (sorry, that's just not that hard to type and so much easier to comprehend)?? If he does it in his usual understated style (the anti-Whitney), that song could be devastating--as in home run. I'll keep my fingers crossed. Go Jason! nice legs

Hell yes!!!

Ok now I'm going to bed. Noches.

Au revoir! I Love AI!

If Kristy could get a record deal than Jason should go double platinum.

I second that emotion.... Life is a song.. Until tommorrow, Adios!

No question, Jes! He's marketable, talented, a simplistic guy.

LOL!

Yes! Triumphant Jason if you really gotta do IWALY!

... and to all the idols, do WELL!

IF.. He totally will get a record deal!

catro? definitely good night.

night all, see you in tomorrow's TRIUMPHANT IWALY CELEBRATION JASON CATRO LOVE THREAD!

Nigel what's his name referred to his audition. He apparently sang 'Crazy' and strummed along.

That Crazy vid w/Jason has reached a quarter million views. That's a sure-fire hit if he gets to record it!

I think it's because Paula refers to everyone by color..It's all about Paula.

he auditioned with a guitar? i thought they never showed the footage. am i so behind or what?

Please let him operate with guitar. That's who he is. That's probably 1 of the reasons he felt comfortable auditioning.

wha? you can't use an "old school" emoticon anymore? it automatically gets morphed into a yellow head? that makes me uncomfortable.

one can only assume ;)

(cue ten people to tell me that it was at a bar)

I think he may have recorded that in a coffeehouse.. HA. JK

i saw video of that on youtube, jesseq

he's definitely more comfortable with the guitar, but i think simon's jab was something along the lines of, you can't just bring the guitar out and hide behind it.

Wish I had video of Jason singing 'Crazy', but I made a JCastro mixed CD and put the mp3 on it. Pretty sweet dude...

beautiful songs don't need to be belted. i totally think he can do it.

We have seen with and without the guitar.. Stick with the guitar..

i bet he got spooked off the guitar after last week.

do you mean the thread is pleasant cause chicago hasn't shown up to remind us for the one zillionth time that s/he thinks that jason castro is soooo coffee house? don't bother chicago, i did it for you! we are all back up to date on your new and exciting opinions and observations about jason.

Agreed- I'm not David deserter, but gettin' a little wordy/whiny up in there. Jason is Mello.. and if no one has noticed, oh so fine!(blush)

Travelin' Thru is my pick also for Jason. I think he would do a great job with it. Let's see, is he permitted to use his guitar this week since he played it last week?

Ha,ha,ha .....castrated. JesseQ, you're funny!

I imagine he would do the original Dolly Parton version, if there is any authenticity to the story.

See just how much we need Jason? This thread has '0' tension. A nice place to end the evening for me. :)

I could dig that a lot! Hope it's true. I would like 'travelin thu' otherwise.
