It’s okay with me–it just means I get to be excited all over again today!

What I want to know is why he was awake, much less playing with MySpace, at 3:56 am!

Go, take a look, play a song, swoon!

Performed by Jason Castro

The videographer canà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t settle on a video angle – first the stage, then the screen, then the stage. haha. Oh dear – my stomanch! Too much vertigo

Jason sounds extremely good however. The phrases are still somewhat fragmented and he breathes a little too often within the phrase lines, but, at least his voice is remaining focused and resonant.

During the earliest stops of this chaotic tour, I remember Jason had a breathier vocal sound that what we are hearing now. Now, we are able to enjoy the rich timbre of Jasonà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s voice and, as he continues to work on his breath support, this level of vocal confidence will increase for Jason. He will be more capabable of creating seamless, uninterrupted phrasing within his melodic line.

And, once he allows his mouth to remain circular while sustaining his pure vowels, this technical skill will encourage him to support his voice more consistently from the lower half of his body where the dipahragmatic breathing muscles are located.

However, everything in time – this was a still very solid and expressive vocal performance! Kudos jason!

I love hearing his speaking voice. Listen to the rich and robust timbre of his voice! Gorgeous.

And you can hear elements of this in his singing voice – his mid range is brimming with head voice and this translates so beautifully when he enters his upper range during the refrain. His vocal timbre sounds so bright and centered. In fact, his entire range is seamless and smooth – nice even texture throughout the melodic line.

And he songs this song so expressively, so musically. Wow – he is really hitting those upper notes, isnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t he? But, Jason, round your mouth on the à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“eeà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  vowel in the phrase à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“just like me.

And donà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t forget to sustain your last upper note à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“ayà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  diphthong int he word à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“crazyà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  on the oure à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“ehà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  vowel – with, of course, a round mouth and relaxed jaw.

And listen to the applause after he finishes this number – it is thunderous and justifiably so. This was a confident and musical performance of this soulful number. Excellent, excellent work Jason! Bravo!

Well, I canà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t imagine that this song will be nothing short of stellar, given the success of his first two performances. And it most certainly is!

The instrumental background is superb in this number-something that is not really evident on these videos, but during the live performance? Spectacular!

And, speaking of spectacular – Jason! Wow- just wow! You have been transformed into a star on this tour. Your performing ability has been rising and rising to more confident heights and, as a result, your voice sounds refreshed and invigorated because of this newly discovered confidence.

Your excellent vocals and genuine charisma is a marketerà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s dream. à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“What a day for a daydreaming boyà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  indeed. You are not going anywhere anytime soon – except straight to the top! Fasten you seatbelts, Dreadheads and get ready for the ride!

Awww, made me get all teary!

“Demand It”, where you can help influence future tour plans by showing there’s interest in your area/country…

and an app called “Gydget”, which you can add to your MySpace profile or blog or whatever, to show your support for Jason!

Wow! 1.5 million plays!!??!?!?!? The kid has got IT.

Go, take a look, play a song–help move him toward 2 million!

I don’t think any other ‘celebrity’ has ever made me smile the amount of times Jason has. He’s just wonderful. LOVE the new myspace profile pic, LOL. His sister Jackie left a comment on it saying she took the shot. Thanks Jackie!

I wonder if that profile pic is one that Archie took!

Looks like rowboating in Central Park…

LOVE him.
