LOL! Literally!

Aaaaaand… here’s the review from Variety. Trade papers don’t come more respected.

Those who present coherent stage personas that connect with their “Idol” performances — the two Davids, Syesha Mercado, Jason Castro, Carly Smithson and, surprisingly, Chikezie — are helping their careers.
[...]
Castro, whose perf was greeted with wide-eyed stares and silence by the kids, has found a comfort zone in between Jack Johnson and George Michael that could become Adult Contemporary gold.

I don’t know that I agree with the assessment in all particulars–but positive is positive. (Compare with the comments on MJ and Brooke, ouch!)

:laugh_tb:

Before the past season gets too hopelessly lost in our memories, I wanted to set down in pixels the most memorable performances (as in best) from my standpoint. That standpoint, of course, will differ from a lot of yours (although not substantially — I think practically everything on this list was well-liked by most of you as well) and the broader rankings of whatnottosing.com, which served as a fabulous memory refresher.

1. Jason, Hallelujah: But in the end, I have to hand the crown to Jason’s touching rendition (and inspired choice) of the Leonard Cohen/Jeff Buckley classic, a gripping performance of a left-field pick of a great song that summed up everything Idol can be at its best…

…No. 4 Jason Castro was effortlessly endearing in his too-short set, serenely sleepy-eyed and strumming a ukulele while sweetly crooning à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Over the Rainbow.à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  (No one cared that he still mixed and mismatched the words). Castro switched to acoustic guitar for a committed take on the Gnarls Barkley hit à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Crazyà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  (which he auditioned with but we didnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t see on the show because of rights clearance issues). And he could have a hit right now with his jangly version of the Lovinà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ Spoonfulà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s 1966 à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Daydream,à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  which perfectly suited his persona as a à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“daydreaminà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ boy…à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ 

In the WTF category:

From Rickey.org

Archie is the only one to have a guy following him down the autograph line (my friend dubbed him Davidà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s Diablo because heà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s soooo mean. hahaha. Letà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s just call him DD). … All of the Jason fans were really disappointed because he never got to come out and sign autographs. They started chanting à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“WE WANT JASON!à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  for a good two minutes straight. So Jason comes RUNNING up to greet his fans.. but DD literally stops and grabs Jason and tells him he has to get on the bus NOW. Long story short, Jason never signed anything and DD definitely is a heartless soul.

Do I have to start getting all paranoid AGAIN?

And more: Jason’s MySpace music player is STILL minus auto-play, and you KNOW there are going to be tens of thousands popping in to see if date night is happening this week. So PLEASE remember to start the music player yourself when you pop in yourself–and maybe a few extra plays, to help make up for some of those who won’t bother? Again, you don’t have to belong to MySpace to do that!

Idol Tour Photos: Syesha, Jason

Jason looks like he’s up in the air on this one.

Purplesmile, I enjoyed your pics, esp. the photoshop. So cute! Both of you!

Those weren’t my own pics (just something I found; I’m not in the States), bluegreen, but you’re welcome.

…But leave to Jason Castro, still sweetly naà ¯ve and dreadlocked, to offer up his wide-eyed truth.

It is, as Castro noted, a job, among which the duties including meeting the media for brief interviews the afternoon before each show…

Damn. I was showing the folks in chat the pic purps posted.

Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ve been lax. I did just go to Jasonà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s myspace. Hereà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s his broà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s pic:
