Jason Castro: “It’s Nice To Be Doing Something Different”
Last week’s American Idol castoff Jason Castro stopped by our office to chat about his time on the show, the upcoming Idol tour and his plans for an album. He also offered an explanation for his “Mr. Tambourine Man” lyric fumble during last week’s broadcast: “I think I learn slower than others,” he laughs. “I usually just take my time, spending a week learning an song and connecting with it. I like the connection in music, and I didn’t have time to make that connection last week.”
“At this point, the competition is dependent on who goes home,” Castro adds. “Even if someone messed up before, their performance was still better than another singer. Now everyone is really good and really talented, so it’s like, ‘Who’s going to mess up?’”
While he was admittedly still tired from his post-show media blitz, Castro was also visibly relieved to not be singing three songs tonight. “It’s nice to be doing something different, and not stressing,” he says. “My biggest worry now is that I’ll say something stupid.”
Not that he’ll necessarily be stress-free in the near future; after a cameo in the audience during tonight’s results show, Castro begins rehearsals for the finale tomorrow and starts tour rehearsals on June 1st. “They’re letting us have more input,” he says of the tour, adding each performer will get to sing three songs each. Castro says he’s considering Gnarls Barkley’s “Crazy” (his audition song at home and during Hollywood week) and his ukulele rendition of “Over the Rainbow.”
After the tour, Castro says he wants to take some time off and create material for an upcoming album. No deals have been confirmed, but Castro says he’s been taking a look at producers of people he likes, including Ray Lamontagne and Ben Harper. “But I don’t even know how you get in touch with those people,” he laughs. “We’ll see if they want to work.”

Define your terms
And you need to read the P.S.”P.S. For the ones who are going to critize this because it’s a US government link, take a look at the sources. They’re all UN.”Do people even read the posts and links before commenting on them? :confused:
Confirmed. That’s a negative.RTF(S).
I’m not talking about the US state dept. editorializing, I’m talking about you. For the love of God read the statistics! Either you’re completely blinded by your preconceived ideas, or you’re just incapable of reading statistics. And everyone will tell you that a free market economy is more effective than a planned economy. If you can dig up a serious economist who says otherwise, please be my guest. It is quite simply impossible for a planned economy to be more effective. Basic microeconomics.All that article says to me is things in Cuba have stayed more or less the same for 50 years. Which if you are not the CEO of an American corporation, is just fine. Cuba was a huge market for US goods before the embargo and it still is today. All without exponential growth in their economy, oh nos!
Will Raul Castro shirts now replace Che Guevera?
Is there any reason why you’re spamming this thread with short, superficial, biased and preconceived ideas, which you provide no sources for? If you really want to put together an argument, try writing more than one sentence, and try using more arguments than ‘teh evoil corporations diddit’.
On the Internet, it is common when someone says something obvious to sarcastically call them “Captain Obvious”.There are several accounts on reddit with some variation of the “Captain Obvious” name, the most popular being this one. It is unclear if the commenter was referring to them.
This is laughable, look at Cuba on a map sometime. How many phone lines and cars does a country the size of Florida with half the population need? Just how much argricultural land do you think is sitting there unused?
Yes, but I certainly don’t see what your point is considering that they have links to the direct source. What you could do now to prove your point would be to go to those UN sources (they’re linked in the bottom of the site, very handy, indeed) and show that the US department of State has misused or misrepresented the statistics. Otherwise you’re just full of hot air. But looking at your posting history, most of your posts are a sentence or two long, so I wouldn’t expect that much footwork of you. Apathy saves the day, eh?
