I was in love with you about fifteen years ago, and now as a woman I am so glad I found you again. I hope your career has taken off, you have made a difference in at least one little girls world, I know that for sure,
Watching Iam Tongi videos today. I haven’t watched American idol on tv in yeaaars . But Iam tongi reminded me of Jason Castro. Just because they were both such genuinely talented artists on the show .
Okay so I don’t actually watch this show but I’ve listened to this a million times thanks to yt algorithms bc this is my favorite version and that’s wild to say but it’s true so after many years I figured I should watch his actual performance and geezus, he’s absolutely adorable
I've always said this kid single handedly brought this song back! I had never heard it before this performance and since he did it, we hear it everywhere. Bravo! I see you, Jason Castro, and will never forget.
Same!!! I looooved how he sang this... When he was in AI me and my sister were soooo in LOOOVE with him , after he did this song , omg....I was DONE FOR😊😂 I wanted to MARRY him!!! When I found out right after the show that he was married and had a kid on the way , I was so SAD!!!🥺😢 Lol ... He really is so so great!!
This was probably my favorite performance of any and all seasons of "American Idol". I've never forgotten this one, and that's saying something, considering how many years ago it's been.
I love that Paula Is drawn the Holy spirit that Castro has inside! His songs are gentle because he can not grieve the spirit. And yes he is cute as Paula mentioned.
Honestly Simon (aka the ONLY judge that ever mattered) had a HUGE bias for this dude from the beginning. But he only ever gave just three memorable performances throughout this competition. This one, hallelujah, and somewhere over the rainbow. And the latter two (especially hallelujah) are just two of THE great songs that would tend to get very positive feedback. Ironically it was exactly the opposite for David Cook. Simon REALLY didn’t like him from the beginning. I think mostly due to the fact that he just didn’t think the whole rock deal would work out-It’s too easy to fall into awkwardness and pretentiousness and that was what Simon viewed him initially-just a rock joint wannabe. Simon liked this Jason Castro type of personality: somebody with a dreamy eye in the self possessed zone. He perceived THIS as “Charisma”, not David Cook’s stoic serious passion (which I personally find to be much more charismatic since it’s much more mature professionally). And afterwards he realized how wrong he was which was why he felt the need to apologize to David before they called. That being said. Jason does most definitely have a very beautiful voice, and his three memorable performances are very memorable.
Lyrics: I get so clumsy I get so foolish I get so stupid And then I feel so useless But You're sayin' You love me And You're still gonna hold me And that You wanna be near me 'Cause You're makin' me holy You're still makin' me holy, yeah I'm gonna get it right this time I'll be strong and I'll make You proud I've prayed that prayer a thousand times But the rooster crows and my tears roll down (again) Then You remind me You made me from the dust And I can never, no never, be good enough And that You're not gonna let that come between us I get so clumsy I get so foolish I get so stupid And then I feel so useless But You're sayin' You love me And You're still gonna hold me And that You wanna be near me 'Cause You're makin' me holy You're still makin' me holy, yeah From where I stand Your holiness is up so high I can never reach it My only hope is to fall on Jesus I get so clumsy I get so foolish I get so stupid And then I feel so useless But You're sayin' You love me And You're still gonna hold me And that You wanna be near me 'Cause You're makin' me holy You're still makin' me holy, yeah
cant believe this awesome, lovable and goofy guy (our jason) is a father now😊... and sadly the dreads are gone😥.. but way to go jason... so proud of you!! with love from manila, Philippines
still love him 10 years later. But why cut the dreads. He should have been advised that performers have "things" they are known by and he can cut his hair for ananynomy but get an awesome wig so people recognize him. I had friend on a christian cruise with him performing and he walked all around and no one knew who he was.
