Michael's EP (Another Update)

They're just about ready!

Be on the look out for your copy.

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 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 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!

Michael Castro Fan Video

.

Gontierluvr posted this on Youtube. It's a video using an edited version of Michael Castro's audition. The judges' comments were removed and all you'll hear is our boy's voice.

Thanks to Lian for sending it our way.

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

Michael's Audition

I finally made it here.

I've been trying to load his audition video but it's taking such a freakin' long time.

While it's uploading I thought I'd drop by and say........

(Warning Spoiler ahead)

New Look!

.

I didn't notice it, initially. I only read about it over at the forums and I wondered what was this "background" that some people were talking about.

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!

And he'd better not stop. Hahaa.

That's Michael's MySpace default photo.

Most of you may have already seen it; but heck, I posted it just the same. It's too beautiful to be skipped over.

My first thought when I saw the picture was : "Hey, I know that guitar..." ;-)
