Michael's EP (Update)

The digital copy of Michael's EP is already available for downloading. So if you are one of those who pre-ordered, then check your email for the link.

The CDs or the hard copies are already being worked on and should be ready for shipping very soon.

The EP has 6 tracks and it's a good mix of songs. Nothing sappy, mushy or anything like that.

You should definitely order a copy, if you hadn't already.

Anyway here are some videos of Michael taken during a recent gig in Texas.

Enjoy!

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

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!

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!

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!

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!

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.

Michael Castro Audition Video

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

But here's a link to it.

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".
