Jason Castro Sings Hallelujah

This just in:

Amar A Morir Premiere Night

Aaaahhh goose bumps. Amazing.

Ya, ya, I know. We’re supposed to be writing about Michael. But come on, it’s his brother. It’s Hallelujah. It’s Jason. 😉

P.S.

We’ve been trying to find pics of Michael from the event. So far we haven’t found any. But some will eventually turn up. No worries.

Jason Castro To Perform At The Santa Barbara International Film Festiv

A rumor suggests that Jason’s family will be flying to California to watch his performance. And since Michael’s MySpace status (from 16 hours ago) says he is “packing and then off to the airport”, I suspect that he will be attending the Santa Barbara International Festival to support his brother.

So if you are anywhere near Santa Barbara, or if you live faaarrrr away, but has the means and the time, why not attend the Festival? Not only will you be able to watch Jason perform his FULL version of the lovely Hallelujah, you might just have the chance to see “the” Michael Castro up close and personal.

And wait, there’s more!

The luminous Kate Winslet will be at the festival on the same day to receive the Montecito Award. The awarding ceremony will be in a different theater (Arlington), but hey, if you try hard enough, star sighting is not improbable.

The event which runs January 22 to February 1, 2009, will be honoring the great Clint Eastwood on the 29th. Kristin Scott Thomas, Penelope Cruz and comeback king Mickey Rourke, will also be receiving special awards.

Movie festivals like this are always fun and interesting. There are different programs and activities all day long and if you buy a special cinema pass, you can watch all the movies you like. Sometimes the package even includes access to the gala on the first day and the awards ceremony on the final night of the festival.

For more information on the festival schedule and the ticket/passes packages, here’s the link to their website : SBIFF

Michael Castro Fan Video

Gontierluvr posted this on Youtube. It’s a video using an edited version of Michael Castro’s audition. The judges’ comments were removed and all you’ll hear is our boy’s voice.

Michael Castro Music Hits The 100K Mark

.

Well, well, well, take a look at that.

.

.
He has passed the 100K mark in MySpace plays. And 130K+ in views. Very good ratio! Not bad for someone who has ZERO experience.

Sure he’s got the famous Castro family name, not to mention that he’s a carrier of the Castro genes. BUT still, you’ve got to give this boy some credit. He made it past the judges on his own merits. He sings well, looks GREAT and is definitely not forgettable.

Plus, the tracks he’s got on MySpace (This Boy, Feelin’ Good) sound really good. And of course, it doesn’t hurt that there are hot pics of him on his page.

Tsk, tsk, our boy is growing up so fast. I’m so proud. 😀

It’s a slow news day, so why don’t we just feast our eyes on these Michael Castro photos? 🙂

Michael Castro - Audition Photo, Kansas City

There goes that AI logo again. Hahaa

Jason and Michael Castro, Kansas City Audition

The Un-Girly Sitting Position

Jason: You said I was girly?

Michael: It’s coz you get emotional and stuff…

Jason: I’m a man!

LMAO on these two. Hahahaa

Is it just me or don’t these exchanges just scream Castro TV show?! How amazing would it be if we saw such beautiful creatures on the screen regularly? How often do we find a young man who is talented, polite, funny, smart, sincere, clean living, well meaning and drama-free, on the entertainment biz? And oh yeah, ridiculously good looking? More so, how often do we find two of them?

Both the Castro boys, aside from singing and playing instruments, play soccer. They’ve been to mission trips to several places to perform soccer ministry. They also like to go drifting with friends. They sure have interesting aspects in their lives that a lot of fans will find interesting.

Perhaps also, we’ll get a glimpse of their other talents, Jason- drumming, and Michael – cage fighting.

I want the Castro Brothers on a TV show! Who’s with me? Anybody?

For sure, they are going to mow down The Hills if they had to go head to head. 😉

Love the hot jeans. The Castro brothers sure know how to wear their pants!

And look at where that AI logo is. Tell me, is there some kind of an AI logo conspiracy going on? :p

Michael Castro Makes A Splash

.

There’s a lot of buzz about our boy. Here’s another article; it’s from the NY Daily:

He’s no bikini-girl, but ‘American Idol’ star Jason Castro’s brother Michael has family ties

Well, he’s no bikini-girl Katrina Darrell, but Michael Castro still made a splash Wednesday night on “American Idol” for his family ties: the hot pink-haired singer is the brother of last season’s sweet-voiced crooner Jason Castro.

.

It’s a good read. Here’s the link.

Michael Castro’s Audition Night Draws Audience

.

Disclaimer: That’s not exactly what the article’s title says. Hahaa.

.

From Reality Blurred:

.

American Idol 8’s second night, which featured Kansas City auditions and Jason Castro’s brother Michael Castro (Kara: “You have this, ‘I have a secret’ vibe”), drew more viewers than its first night, a significant achievement.

As Fox said in a press release, that’s “the first time in five years that American Idol’s Wednesday premiere has increased over its Tuesday debut in Adults 18-49 (since Jan ‘04) and the first time in the five years that Total Viewers retained at least 100% of its Tuesday debut audience.”

.

Ratings increased during the episode where Jason and Michael appeared? Really? No kidding!

Hmmm… I wonder what aroused the viewers interest. *insert smug look here*

Heh. Two words= Castro Boys.

No wait, make that (counts fingers just like Michael) five = Castro Boys and their talents.

.

Or their faces; or  hair; or  PANTS.

Take a pick. No wrong answer.

.

Don’t you just love the way the AI logo is strategically situated? =p

The way the Castro Boys sit is, definitely, NOT girly.
