Jason Castro - Hallelujah

[awakenedlink37]

This is his most memorable performance ever IMO. I still remember it today, and how it moved me so when I first watched it. Bravo.

[7827melody]

I've always loved this song, but I love him singing it the most <3

[niimurakorin]

I really liked it, but it felt like the climax of the song was missed. He went down when the intensity should have gone up.

[xenonfear]

nothin on buckley

[InterferenciasRG]

He looks stoned

[m3mys3lfand1111]

Chester see's version is my favourite...;

[xorn101]

After hearing Hallelujah performed on the X Factor by Josh Krajcik, did I go back searching for Lee Dewyze's version? No. Did I go back to watch Tim Urban's version? No. Did I go back to listen to any other version besides this one? No. Jason Castro ftw!

[beenlovedon]

My vagina will say hallelujah if he ever gets near it.

[cdnstudman]

sad fucks

[Yonohikari1]

@grumpypotter And I completely understand why so many gay teens do commit suicide, but never once have I shown them hatred or disgust. Jesus Christ had dinner with the tax collectors (who were despised people back then). And he died for the entire world - that includes gays. I love gays or any sinner (because we all are) the same as I love anyone else.

Read up on this guy. A gay guy who decided not to live that lifestyle. His name is Sy Rodgers.

[XenFayed]

@Yonohikari1 Please get over yourself and join the 21st century.

[Yonohikari1]

@grumpypotter If I look at a man and I think he's attractive, that's okay, but if I go further with those thoughts and dwell on it too much, that is a sin. So no, even being straight, acting upon those desires could be sinful because it's outside of God's will - such as homosexuality.

[Yonohikari1]

@grumpypotter And hypothetically speaking, if I am straight and I act upon it, meaning I have a boyfriend, we kiss, etc., generally, it wouldn't be wrong, but it also depends on my circumstances. Let's say that I want to date, but my parents won't let me or God doesn't think it's the right time for me and I do it anyway, then I am still sinning because I am going outside of God's will.

[Yonohikari1]

@grumpypotter God didn't make anyone gay. When he first created man and woman, they were both straight and that is what he intended to be natural, but when they sinned, homosexuality came into the mix later. It's not like God said, "Oh hey, I'll make you gay, but you're a sinner if you act upon it." No, he didn't even make anyone gay. The Bible says so (Romans 1:24-27)...

[Datkylekid]

He just turned me gay

[felixciccone]

Sebastian Wurth sings it better (DSDS 2011 / german idol)

[Yonohikari1]

@DauntingProductions So God burning a whole town of homosexuals is the same as God killing Tamar's (a woman in the OT) husband for being a selfish greedy man who controlled and took advantage of his poor wife. God hates all sin the same.

[Yonohikari1]

@DauntingProductions Christianity is not a hate based religion. I am a Christian myself and I treat gays like I'd treat anyone else. It makes me so angry when I see those people protesting. In the Old Testament, God was merciful but not as merciful as He is now because during the Old Testament times, people could not have a relationship with God because we did not have the Mediator to link us with God: Jesus. That is why in the New Testament, you see how merciful Jesus is.

[Yonohikari1]

@DauntingProductions God does not hate gay people. It is not wrong to be attracted to the same sex. You cannot control that and it would be terrible of God to hate someone for something they have no say over. He hates the homosexual lifestyle - meaning acting upon same sex attraction is wrong. Unfortunately, there have been "Christians" who have completely misrepresented God by having ridiculous protests saying how much they and God hate gays.

[grumpyotter]

@Yonohikari1 Do you see the idiocy in your comment? "It is not wrong to be attracted to the same sex." Apparently, because God made you that way. But if you act on your desires--like all the straight people do--then you're a sinner?

People like you are the reason so many gay teens feel suicide is their only option.

[Bunchy93]

paula: cocaine is a hell of a drug

[themajormo]

I am second!

[austyfrosty29]

@themajormo god bless brotha!!

[mrs6pack]

Paula is A LOT more eloquent now. DAMN. Was she always like that before? I don't remember..

[TheNinna08]

The cutest stoner I've ever had the pleasure of listening to...

[dommiebo]

@TheNinna08 IM WAY CUTER!

[DopyMcDoperson]

that was dope

[MaskoftheWraith]

I don't think I'm straight anymore...

[DauntingProductions]

And the Top comment wants to make love in a gay manner to Jason, he is even singing a Goldy song. To that I say if you had seen him live at Winter Jam 2011, you would feel terrible for saying it. But hey I'm not the one making a comment such as that about a Godly man (also God burned a whole town "gays" in the Bible).

[rainbowsuger]

@DauntingProductions its a comment get over it and you know what dont you mean godly not goldy song and also the bible might say that im not a big bible reader but i do know that were all diffrent and so he can be diffrent anyway he wants :p i dont even kno why im arguing over this it was a comment he probably didnt even mean it

[rainbowsuger]

@DauntingProductions oh im gunna go listen to adam lambert now

[eillarolyat]

@DauntingProductions Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Luke 6:37

[DauntingProductions]

@eillarolyat Well you do now it is true. Homosexuals are despised in the Bible. So if you are telling me not to judge, then don't comment like this. In a way you are judging me.

[eillarolyat]

@DauntingProductions I Was not judging you but if it appeared that way I'm truly sorry. I try to share God's word as often as possible and that's what I was doing. All I was trying to say is that we can't be the judge. God is that judge on our judgement day.

[MITBF4WOTL]

how blazed was paula...

[OMAGAHITSBRENDON]

fucking Paula!!!!!!11

[Xxipukerainbowz]

He is so flipping adorable! (:

[hiphopnate]

Paula was SO drunk..

[MyVeilOfEverything]

can your dread just rip off like that...?

[GreenB610]

@MyVeilOf Everything Yes, yes it can. I've had it happen before. haha It's not gross or anything, just a tad weird. :p

[MyVeilOfEverything]

@GreenB610 hahah i have 4 and i got scarred:))



[GreenB610]

@MyVeilOfEverything Lol yeah, my friend freaked out when one of mine fell out. It was so funny. :p

[MyVeilOfEverything]

@GreenB610 deos your hair still grows where it felt?

[GreenB610]

@MyVeilOfEverything Yeah for the most part. Mine can off from the back, so you can't really see it. lol But yeah, it was a few months ago and I have hair there now. So far so good. lol :p

[marrark]

[aerdna14]

I love Castro, but he looks like Jar Jar Binx with his hair like this hahahahaha.

[zhinazhir]

u can goolge the american idol hipie and this will come out lmfao

[BIDROLLERS]

he is tooo pretty

[CattailsandRoses]

He is a sweet,sincere,beautiful and gifted ,married young man. I bought his album because he is so authentic. I do not agree with Randy, Paula was right, and Simon was spot on!!

[connie7007]

I thought it was a good version...



[BlackTurtwig]

He's so adorable <3

[KalonUnplugged]

hey, im jason castro. and im way too stoned for this.

[romanceandsparkles]

@KalonUnplugged Hey, I'm Paula. and im way to stoned for this

[93mfcmurph]

@romanceandsparkles too*



[romanceandsparkles]

@93mfcmurph thx. u got my back

[93mfcmurph]

@romanceandsparkles you know it.

[foreverVanney]

cute, but i've definetely seen better versions of that song. Hallelujah is covered like a zillion times and he isn't the best voice

[qwzaaap]

that's adam lambert's brother !!

[SuperxxShelby]

ilovehimsomuch

[emoanimeducky]

Hrm... he is really good looking, but his voice is too breathy for this song... though I do give him props for not giving it a million unnecessary runs. The runs just take away from the song. He kept it simple, simple and beautiful.

[committeesq]

one 13 yeal old girl loves his eyelashes enough to not care what he sounds like.

Thank you Simon. I imagine you'll help him along.

[SuperShelman]

i never thought me and simon would have something in common...

[levicall]

I'm as straight guy, and i can honestly say i would not think twice if i had a chance to make love to this guy.

[GentleMama2Mine]

@levicall He's a very pretty guy.

[yolaJADE]

@levicall ahahhaha (:(: (:

[champluv10]

@levicall then you aint straight

[rainbowsuger]

@levicall 0_o

[rence089]

@levicall that's the irony bout closet homos

[Wachenuka]

@levicall you clearly play for both teams!

[grizbonton1]

@levicall he is such a cool person--what a spirit. He's kinda like that guy from Pearl Jam--your attracted to something about em, but you aint sure what....

[kristineurie44]

how unhealthy do your dreds have to be to completely break off while you're trying to tie it back???

[Janinha]

he and samuel larsen from the glee project are too look-alike...

[kristineurie44]

@Janinha dont forget Tom Kaulitz from Tokio Hotel. They could be triplets

[heyyninaa]

@Janinha That's exactly what I thought, too :O

But I think Sam's better looking.

[Janinha]

@heyyninaa much better, can't even compare. good to know i'm not the only one with this opinion ahah

[lovablemein3d]

Jason is so trying not to laugh at paula

[doxeyg]

[surferboy1w1]

[BlushingBride818]

Ryan: I know you don't love the interviewing process, but how does that make you feel?

Jason: Really good, man. I'm getting better with the interviews, too.

Ryan: Yeah you are, that was the perfect answer!

Love that.

[Roxay303]

[chicovill305]

[thesebken]

[URMIN3000]

прелесть ну просто класс!Ё!!!!! молодец!!!!!!!!!

[TheCakedecorator]

This song and version helped me through cancer and depression.. thank you so much !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LuciidDreaming]

he is so gorgeoussss :)

[demoniosolitario]

0:05 this one time at band camp!!!

[dp38104]

The beauty of this song is that anyone can sing it as long as they don't become bigger than the song itself.

[GrandmaJosey]

@dp38104 not anyone can sing it my dadcan't sing ANYTHING.

[kossfringe]

@GrandmaJosey i think he ment that anyone who can sing can sing this song as lomg as they dont make them selves bigger than the song

[kepitreal1]

yup..pothead 4 sure lol

[whitetiger091]

OOOOOWWW! ;)

[gimmeabreak732]

I love his eyes...and his dreds...and his freckles...and his voice....OMG everything!

[bidishah]

He's gorgeous. OMG.

The eyes.

THE EYES.

*drools*

[123benny4]

He couldn't hit the high falsetto notes

[monkeyluver465]

any one else think he has elvish features?

[clinroatan]

@monkeyluver465 Elvish Presley?

[AaronMucia]

Wow,he's so hot :P

[Lexiishade]

@Palladino200 I was thinking the EXACT same thing! She keeps stuttering & changing the subject & especially when she said all the boys were doing good & she clapped, lol just the look on her face! :p

[s1m2c6]

he's so awkwardly cute :$

[taziness]

Those eyes <3

[Anassaby]

uuuuuu jaajajaja XD arruinaron mi poesia jajajaja XD

[Anassaby]

lo miro... lo escucho... el es un angel caido del cielo :) bello!!

[Undertaker67203]

This song should never be abrevieated. Takes away from one of the perfect songs ever written.

[Palladino200]

Paula seems drunk

[lanfareth19]

@Palladino200 she no seems! she was drunk LOL

[Palladino200]

@lanfareth19

yes she was .....lol

[taziness]

@Palladino200 I think you're right

[frenzshmeister]

reminds me of shrek :))

[Sandra3594]

I remember this! He did an awesome job on this song.

[kewanee23]

Amazing song! Seen him at Winterjam 2011 and he done this song.

[DarkStreetWorries]

never really watched american idol like that, but this kid killed it... best ive heard this song

[codruler16]

The bible clearly says that long hair is an abomination.

[carlopetox]

@codruler16 - dont we portray Jesus Christ with long hair?

[codruler16]

@carlopetox Yes that is what we portray, but what we portray is wrong. Jesus wouldn't tell us long hair is an abomination and have long hair himself. He wouldn't be God if he did that.

[MrAngryGnome]

@codruler16 spot on

[MrAngryGnome]

@codruler16 that long hair on men. right

[imaginewrldpeace]

@codruler16 haha no it doesn't, back then men had long hair, it was traditional, is it an abomination to have facial hair too? Because I know they were sporting beards back in the day too. And didn't Jesus have long hair? 

[codruler16]

@imaginewrldpeace Have you read my comment? 1 Corinthians 11:14-15

We portray jesus with long hair but that is wrong. I'm pretty shure it wasn't bad to have a beard or facial hair. Where did you get it was traditional from? I really hope you're not just making this up as you go.

[sophieruleslol]

This is an amazing song <3 <3

[380371]

i started tearing up

[MirandaLuvzTwilight]

BETTER THAN LEE DEWYZE!!

[TheJackson916]

soooo much better than Lee Dewyze's performance!!!! it should have been David cook vs Jason Castro in the finale that year

[Cynnihere4life98]

I love this song

[wolvertb]

In every video, Paula has no idea what she is going to say. she is either on something or shes really that stupid.

[browneyedcarol]

He should have won the season. But, no matter.  He's going far!

[24TheBasketball]

@browneyedcarol Yeah, he came and performed at the Mall I live by. Got a picture with him and his autograph!

[Cannoli97]

@browneyedcarol no. David Cook was the rightful winner...he was the best

[dude70900]

@browneyedcarol wrong. just wrong.



[avinaash13]

Jason set the Hallelujah trend...only since his performance, people have been performing it on American idol.

[briggitbro]

seriously, how much more sexy can you get.

[DrCutieify]

god hes gorgeous!

[dance1325]

Man i definitely remember loving him way back when he was on the show :O I think the contestants on American Idol now are MUCH better and more experienced, but I remember the days like this when it was just pure singing like Jason's.

[Tumaelca]

Kurt Nilsen's version is soo much better, but this guy was hot, kurt nilsen is not..

[Fallen0812]

He and his voice=perfection <3

[pokeram733]
