Michael at the Well Done Awards

After days of hunting for pictures of Michael at the awards show, I finally got hold of some after a reader sent me a link to a few photos from the event.

Thanks Ali!




with big bro, Jason Castro


I like Mikey's new geeky look. I'm not so crazy about the hair, but I hardly notice it because I look at the pictures and just zero in on his face.

I can't wait to hear and see these gorgeous boys sing together. What a moment that would be.

Michael's Got A Gig!

Watch out for Michael at the Well Done Awards on May 31st at The Grove, in Anaheim, California.

Jason Castro, his big bro, may even make an appearance!

I'm happy for the Castro fans who can watch this event. Bring us some pics!!!

Jason Has Found A Home!

Yep! That's what he said! =p

I interrupt our regular programming (lol) to tell you that Jason Castro, Michael's big brother and American Idol Season 7 Third Runner Up, is now signed with Atlantic Records. Yes. THE Atlantic Records. Home of the Mraz, Collins, Thomas etc...

Apparently, Jason mentioned it during an interview on the night of his appearance on American Idol Extra. For some reason AI conveniently failed to give him the opportunity to say it on air and make it known to the world that he has been signed to a major record deal. Probably because Atlantic is a competitor of 19E. But whatever...

Anyway, someone found this link, so her ya go, watch and listen as Jason makes it official.

And listen to him talk about Michael! He said Michael has the "music bug". LOL Cute.

Good luck sucker!!! Hahaha

If I told you what I said when I saw the picture, this blog would probably be flagged.

And I'd have to go to confession again even though I went just very recently.

Michael Vids From the Texas A&M Concert

Here are a couple of videos taken during Michael's set when he opened for his brother Jason's show at College Station, Dallas last March 28.

Unfortunately, the videos are dark. But the audio is clear so it's still worth checking out if you want to hear Michael's performance.





And my favorite, Hindsight 20/20. This is a really funny song. =P



He did great, didn't he? It's hard to believe that he only started performing less than a year ago.

He's out there now, singing in auditoriums, and even making his own music.

This goes to show that if you have it, you really have it.

Michael's Texas A&M Interview

Listen to Michael's interview on KAMN Student Radio.

In case you didn't know, Michael is back in Aggieland to perform as the opening act of his big brother, Jason Castro.

The concert is tonight, 8:00PM at the Rudder Auditorium.

Part 1


Part 2


Thanks to Cathy for posting the vids.

Jason Castro at Texas A&M

From theeagle.com

Texas A&M's favorite American Idol semifinalist is coming back to play for his fellow Aggies.

Jason Castro, an Aggie who competed in last year's edition of the popular TV singing contest, will play a concert at 8 p.m. March 28 in Rudder Auditorium on the Texas A&M campus. The concert is part of the Big Event, an annual day in which A&M students do community service projects.

Tickets for the concert, which are $15 for students and $20 for others, went on sale Tuesday.

Michael will be Jason's opening act. So to all of you who want to watch the Castro boys perform, this is your chance.

And be sure to take lots of pictures and videos to share with the lame ones like me who can't be there. ; )

We're Back!!!

Hello!

I finally have some free time, hence, I'm gonna do some little updating on this website.

I may not be able to finish bringing over some of the posts from ThisBoyCastro today, so please excuse whatever wonky tonky stuff you might see here. I will try to clean up the entries but I will probably (and most likely), miss some.

Hopefully I'll be able to fix the site very soon and make it better.

Michael’s First Solo Show

.

Update from Michael:

IN OTHER NEWS

I have my first little solo show in my hometown of Rockwall comin up on the 14th. So I'm spending all day every day writing and learning songs. I have a bad habit of writing a song and then moving onto a new one before i even learn the first one! So now I have to learn em all in a rush!

That show is kind of a small private thing I think it was sold out a while ago..BUT I was asked to open up for my brother at his show at Texas A&M at the end of March...so as far as I know i'm still on for that

Also the newer songs I've been writing are getting interesting! They're getting bluesier by the minute! I just like the freedom of blues style music...I dont like structured songs too much. Not to say all my songs will be blues style but i'm definitely feelin it. I dont like when music is perfect and structured. It doesnt seem real...I like people to miss a few notes and get carried away sometimes.

I also made 2 new friends that I write really well with back home in Texas so thats awesome.

I'm really looking forward to hearing his new songs. Perhaps he'd sing those on his first solo show.
Too bad I don't live anywhere near Rockwall. :(

If you have the chance to catch his gig, do it! He sounds good, he looks good. What more can you ask for? ;)

Michael Castro Live in Houston

Here's a vid from Michael's Planet Kidz gig in Houston, Texas on February 20.

Michael sang an original song during the event. The title escapes me as of the moment. So I'll have to get back to you on that.

He also performed covers of popular songs such as In Love With A Girl and This Boy.



Enjoy!

A Thousand Years After

;

I'm back. No, I did not come bearing gifts. =(

I'm still undecided on whether or not to post the pictures I found online that were taken during his Planet Kidz gigs. I'm kind of weighing the implications of posting them. You know... copyright and all... So in the meantime, here's a not so new news.

Michael posted a blog a few days ago and here's an interesting excerpt:

I was definately not depressed after bein cut from idol! I saw that they made me look like i dropped my head or whatever, but theres cameras around 24/7, that clip was from another time sittin in that room, because we knew before they came in we were the cut room and so when they told us, we had already planned to jump around and cheer, and we did! But of course they edited it to look like we were all gonna die!

This was in response to a fan who asked if he was depressed after his elimination after the final round in Hollywood.

The entire blog is an interesting read. Do check it out on his MySpace.

And hey, I haven't been able to update as often as I would have wanted, because of some pressing matters I had to attend to. Hopefully, I'd be able to post more stuff in the coming days.

You all take care.

Michael Castro - Trouble

New bulletin from Michael's MySpace! And apparently he's having some kind of a problem with his page, hence he attached the new video of him singing Trouble by Ray LaMontagne. So, here's the bulletin and enjoy the vid!

Date: Feb 12, 2009 9:07 AM

Subject: MYSPACE IS BROKEN

Body: Apparently it wont let anyone see my page. I mean, not much i can do if myspace and idol both hate me. Sometimes it feels like the whole world is turning against me.
JUST KIDDING! =P

Anyways since you cant get to my page..

BAM! Theres the new video!

ENJOY! (the goofy captions)

Aaahhh, I love this boy. I'm not kidding! :mrgreen:

Don't get creeped out. Heh, is "creeped" even a word? LOL. Anyway, he is on a mini tour right now. Hopefully we'd get more vids in the coming days!

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 Singing In Love With A Girl

This is a video of Michael performing live.

I'm not sure if this video was taken during his first live gig ever, or during the show the following night.

The audio's pretty clear. There were some moments while watching it where I yearned to reach out and smack the noisy members of the crowd. But that's how far my violence goes, it's just in my mind. Heh.

Anyway, this one is courtesy of Michael and I really hope he would post additional vids. Unfortunate souls like us who live outside Texas are a little nosey, and will appreciate a peek at how his shows went.

Enjoy the video!

The Tale of PB&Js, Jiu Jitsu and Wendys

MCas Blog #12

Tuesday, February 03, 2009

RANDOM UPDATE 2!!

SUPER eventful day.

It all started out with a delicious pb&j (as usual)

Then me and my brother went to a deliciously talented songwriter/producer/dude's house to work on a song i had in the works and it turned out deliciously (dont question my word choices!!)

It's all recorded up but i'm goin back there tomorrow to finish up all the little touches and such.

THEN. I randomly ran into Eddie Bravo (a jiu-jitsu legend) at a superbowl party yesterday. So he was all like "you should come train tomorrow" so i did. It was delicious and i'm half dead. Maybe 3/4 dead. Whatever the case im still breathin! (barely)

And i ended it all with 4 burgers from wendys.

Can a day get much more delicious?

doubt it.

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

[caption id="" align="alignnone" width="401" caption=" "][/caption]

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 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. :D

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




There goes that AI logo again. Hahaa

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.

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

"Pink-Haired" Michael Advances

.
An article from USMagazine.

.

[caption id="" align="alignnone" width="452" caption="Usmagazine Screencap"][/caption]

.

On Wednesday's American Idol, wannabe singers in Kansas City turned out -- including Michael Castro, the pink-haired brother of last year's finalist Jason Castro.

Michael, 20, impressed the judges with his performance of Gavin DeGraw's "In Love With A Girl."

MTV Article About Michael

.

Whooaa. A whole article about our boy.

Way to go MCas!!!

Now, that's what I call star power.

I do have mixed feeling about the article, though.

This is the part that I like:

The judges seemed skeptical at first, but Michael's mix of shyness and confidence impressed them. Simon Cowell called the audition "goodish," and new judge Kara DioGuardi said he was "kind of ballsy," suggesting that the sly look in Michael's eye meant he had a secret.

It is generally a positive write up about Michael, with the writer even referring to Michael as "a rare legacy act" when talking about the failed attempts of sibling of former Idol contestants to go far on the show.

And then there's the part which I really found distasteful. The writer made some snide (and ignorant) comments about Jason.

MTV, the same company who hired JASON for some reality show years ago, makes an inappropriate and uncalled for attempt at bashing. But even then they couldn't come up with anything original. Geesh...lyric flubbing? That's your best shot? How lame.

Excuse my ranting here. I just can't stand people who attack unsuspecting people without reason nor basis. The writer didn't have to take a swipe at Jason, but for some twisted reason, he felt it necessary to call him names.

LINK

And then here is Jason Castro's video for the I AM SECOND Campaign.

Jason and Michael Castro in the LA Times

It's more about Jason, but Michael's in it too!

"One star shines bright in Kansas City "

by Richard Rushfield:

The show's most intriguing moment came, however, in a guest cameo -- the return of Season Seven giant Jason Castro to the "Idol" auditions in support of his charismatic younger brother, Michael.

Seeing Jason, an actual, certified Idol walk among the cringing masses in the waiting lounge was such a contrast, it was like seeing a god come down from Mt. Olympus and walk among mere mortals.  The fascinating part is that just one year ago, Jason sat among them, without any special aura or grandeur to his presence. So innocuous was Jason that he was not even shown until the end of Hollywood Week.

Such is the power of "American Idol" that a year later, having worked his way through the "Idol" journey, having stood night after night before millions, he appears with a larger-than-life quality.

.

You can read the rest of the article HERE. And while you're there, how about leaving some good words for our boy. Mmmkay?

Quotes From Michael's Audition

.

* Exchange between new judge Kara and our boy:

Kara:  “You have this, ‘I have a secret’ vibe”

Michael: “Maybe I don’t even know it.”

(he is a stud. that is all.)

.

*Michael on big bro Jason

Michael: “He’s like, more girly, and I’m more, like, not girly,”

(this is the part where my jaw dropped and then after I had finally picked it up from the floor, all I called say was a big WTH!!! ) =p

.

*And my favorite quote of the night:

Jason: “By girly you mean I have emotions and express them well?  Some people call that an artist.”

(and then a collective shriek was heard across Castro land.)

.

And by the way, contrary to American Idol's constant claim, Jason Castro is in fact a fun and interesting interviewee. This jab at Jason's interview skills is getting tired. The only clip they ever have of him bungling up an interview  is that pre-performance clip from the Top 20 round. Yes, from week 2. It's that old.

Jason consistently gave honest, polite, down to earth and sincere interviews. His exit interview on Idol Extra was entertaining and truthful and all his radio interviews after AI were fun and revealing.

But I digress.  On the Michael : It will truly be interesting to watch how far Michael will go on his AI journey. I also wonder whether the show is going to treat him more humanely and spare him the savage beating his beautiful soul of a brother got.

To Michael's credit, our guy is a Cage fighter. I'm not saying he's going to get all violent, but I really don't think he's going to take crap from anyone. Not even Simon.

Michael Castro Audition Video

I can't get it to load here. Grrrr.

But here's a link to it.

Michael Castro - Audition, Kansas City


_

Side note:

I noticed that Ryan Seacrest referred to Jason as last year's "fourth runner-up".  WTH?

It was either Ryan's mistake or the writer's. They demoted the guy one rank down.

Just to be clear to everyone,  Jason Castro was the 4th placer last season. He finished in the Top 4 and hence should be called  the "third runner-up".

Michael Castro's Audition In The News

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





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. ;-)

So I went to his page and looked again. And whadaya know. There it was, in all its splendor. A new background!

Dang it... I think I will need to cut down on the coffee intake a little. How the heck could have I





Pretty awesome, right? Our boy has indeed been working hard. New song, blog, photo ops... He's spoiling us!
