This guy is so freakin' UNDERRATED and the judges are so stupid. This is the most beautiful rendition of Memory that I have ever heard, and it always gives me goosebumps. I'd much rather listen to Jason than some grande dame of the "theatah" oversing it with a fake mournful expression.
Having heard the original, I actually quite liked this. And the interviews w/ him and Andrew Lloyd Webber were hysterical. I thought Webber was one of the better mentors, he had great advice and nice things to say too.
One of the most underrated contestants ever on this show. And this performance was one of his best. Really don't know what the judges were hearing but I remember being shocked at their comments. I loved it!
This was actually good performance. He pulled it well. it is indeed not a good song for him to choose, but hey he is brave for choosing this song ,and it turned out that he did pretty well. Boo Randy and Simon!
Shivers throughout all the music!

He, Amanda Overymer, and Tim Urban are the WORST singers to ever make the top 12 on American Idol.
Carly Smithson and Michael Johns are FAR more talented then him - those two should've been top 3 and 4.

@AnnieTigerChucky there were a boatload of people who didn't agree with that, including myself. He outlasted Michael by a month and Carly by 3 weeks.
jalimze8466 1 year ago
@AnnieTigerChucky Don't agree. Jason Castro and Amanda Overmyer are quite talented imo.
Tim Urban, meh. He had two good performances. The WORST though: Scott Savol, Sanjaya, Camile Velasco?? And Paige Miles... ugh.

Indeed, he pulled it well. I just don't think this is a song that would flaunt his fullest potential.

I hate how they bashed him for that because i think he pulled it well and it shows a sensitive side to him, which i can appreciate.

He needed to use a little more range for this song, but it was a unique way of doing it and if ALW's songs appeal to more age groups, I'm all for it.

Jason's voice is so tender and vulnerable that he is the only one that could sing this.
He's is totally amazing!! Those judges missed the boat on this one. Who cares if it is usually sung by a female? He made it his!

My ears went deaf. Sorry girls who love him he cannot sing so look past his looks and listen to his voice.
I must say he is brave to ever attempt this song. For a guy he did ok.
