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!

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.

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 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.

.

It's a good read. Here's the link.

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.
