OKAY SO…IDOL

I just got home, but i heard they showed me getting cut tonight…SO.
I got cut because they thought i didnt want it bad enough, at least thats
what Paula told me. Which is half true, and after all it is their show
and of course they want people who jump around and at least pretend to
be excited. I’m never gonna be one of those people who jumps around and
screams.

I’m a little upset they didnt show that last song tho because it was my best!! But of course they cant show my best song then cut me on the same night =P

However, it’s also a good thing, because had I have been in the voting rounds,
they probably would have eaten me alive…
and once youve made it to voting rounds you can never try out
again. So the good news is…

I can try out next year! And plan to do so with much more experience.
I’ve already gotten way better and been performing and stuff.
It’s kind of a blessing in disguise because theres no way I would have survived this season.

I do plan on pursuing a music career tho! I promise you havent heard the last of me 🙂

Speaking of which I have a song i’m puttin up for sale ASAP hopefully within the
next few days, it was produced by the same guy who produced nelly

furtado. So its prettttyyy cool =P My first official song! woooo!
And whats REALLY awesome is…I got cut tonight, and have almost 40 pages of friend requests! Are you kidding me?!?! Thats awesome haha

Michael Castro’s AI Journey Ends…For Now

–

Most of you probably know by now that Michael got cut at the end of the Top 72.

I wanted to refrain from posting the schedule of his shows as not to spoil the Hollywood outcome for the others who didn’t know. But since his area tour had already begun, I had decided to just post it. At least those who figured out the implication of the sched didn’t have to keep on hoping that Michael made it to the voting rounds.

I don’t really mind that he got cut coz it’s really not the end of the road for him. And with all the plants (professionals and veterans alike) in the contestant pool this year, a newbie like him would have had to face an uphill climb. What irks me the most is that they cut him, but didn’t even show him singing.

I wanted to hear him sing. But lo and behold, AI opted to show us the tired and old formula of senseless bickering, sob stories, and all that drama.

I wanted to know WHY he was cut. But no, that didn’t happen. They should have shown at least one of his 3 performances, for after all didn’t the day of his audition register record high ratings? Isn’t he the most popular of the contestants this year? Doesn’t he have the biggest following? Love him or hate him, at least people are talking about him. If he got cut because he sucked during the Top 72, well then, they should have at least shown the clip. It would help me understand why he was cut, because frankly, a lot, and I do mean a LOT, of those who were promoted most certainly don’t deserve to be in the Top 50.

AI or whoever did the editing is not in tune with the rest of the world. No one enjoyed those annoying cat fights, the irritating mumbling of songs, the epic walking off the stage stunts. I know AI is all about the drama, sure they need to spice things up. But seriously, if what we saw during the Hollywood round is an indication of what the rest of the season holds for us, then there is only one thing I look forward to, seeing the four judges attempt to show some kind of chemistry and rapport, but instead end up looking like panelists on the Jerry Springer show.

And somewhere out there, Nigel Lythgoe is rubbing his two hands together and giving an evil laugh.

Michael Castro’s Audition In The News

May I just say that Jason Castro is love. And that I miss him.

Jason Castro at the Kansas City Auditions

Is he a great brother or what? Still has that same goofy, winning smile and personality.

Am not sure I’m ready to let go of last year’s season just yet. Aahh…. Season 7… good times.

Fortunately, Michael’s on Season 8.

Last year was emotionally exhausting, but I’ll be happy to stay tuned as long as there are people like him around to make the show less painful to watch. Ya know… with all the plants and TCOs sprinkled all over, this season has the potential to become really annoying.

Just saying. 😉

P.S.

And oh, video is by lavenderstripes.

The video was up so quick on youtube, I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw it.

Thank you, lavenderstripes. You rock!

Hollywood Round, Yeah Baby!

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

An Idol spoiler that made me do the chicken dance.

From the OCRegister.

“Among those rumored to be taking part in season eight, to some degree or another, include Jason Castro’s brother, a Doobie Brother’s daughter, the daughter of David Archuleta’s vocal coach and the woman who came between Mark Ballas and Sabrina Bryan.”

Pssst… the kids’s got a name. And it’s Michael Castr0.

Hey wait a minute. Who came between the dancer and the Cheetah girl?

edt: The culprit’s name is Joanna Pacitti. A recording artist who was under contract with a major label up until September last year. She was released after her album tanked. WTH? What’s she doing in an amateur singing competition? She even recorded a song for the Legally Blonde soundtrack! Are they effin’ kidding me?!

There’s A PLANT, y’all.
