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.

Jason's Billboard Interview



Good luck sucker!!! Hahaha

Thanks to Arlene.



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!

Next Season Is Just A Year Away

Michael updated his Blog sometime today.

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
