I have to say, my favorite American Idol this season is David Cook but running a close second is the always adorable Jason Castro. I love everything about this kid... from his gentle spirit to his awesome dreads. Last nights performance was pure poetry for me and I think his version of Over the Rainbow is even better than Braddah Iz - (I've uploaded both renditions - you be the judge!)I remember the first time I heard this version of Judy Garland's song - it was in the movie Meet Joe Black - but it made an even greater impression on me when I heard it in Finding Forrester, as awesome movie with Sean Connery as a reclusive pulitzer prize winning author who is befriended by a talented kid from the Bronx. What draws you in is watching the impact they have on each other.
If you haven't seen the movie, I highly recommend it!

I love that rendition, Cookie! I never get to watch it because I'm running with kids' activities...what a voice!! *Smiles* Karen
Yep, Jason is one of my favs too. Loved his song...can't wait to see what they sing this week!
LOL! Jason looks like Vinnie Barberino with dreads and you know how I feel about John Ravolta err I mean Travolta. :> )
I'm bettin' the farm on David Cook. That boy has a set of pipes on him. Even if he loses, he will still do well. His rendition of Billy Jean was terrific!
