Instead they waste air time on someone like Bikini Lady. What a waste.

That was a great Jason mention. I was hoping for more singer/songwriter/musicians on the show this year but it doesn't appear that those are the type of contestants AI is pimping this year. Too bad. Thank you very much for posting the info, Same Cage. yea I was hoping for more songwriters too. The contestants used to be able to do an original song during the season.. I was really wanted to see that last year! man if Jason could have sung one of his originals! he'd have blown everyone away!

Last year, on the Israeli idol, at the final night, one of the guys made his own song. He brought down the house (can you say that?) and won the whole thing. This song is 24/7 on the radio nowadays...
I think that when someone is not just a nice voice, but a song writer, there is actually a chance for her/him to stay a while. I think they miss the whole point really.

michael slezak also, in his recap of hollywood week, said why do we not get to hear mcas (and some others) sing when they had such memorable auditions (instead of no singing and all drama)? I laughed, b/c mcas was in his not so into you category after the kc auditions and now says he had a memorable audition. Msle got it right the second time! ;D

He's talking to Missy Schwartz about Lil Rounds and Adam Lambert and how he thought their songs last week were "oversung and bordering on shrill". He said that coming off a season where AI had Jason Castro, Brooke White and David Cook (he mentioned Jason first!) "people who were not the bombastic style of singer" and he had hoped that that would be the direction that TPTB at AI would take the show, by showing a bunch of different singing styles. He says that it seems that those types of singers are just not wanted this season. Missy agrees and goes on to say that with those three in particular who were allowed to play their instruments, she feels that they were more musicians/singers rather than now "we're back to these people that are hogging all the notes". Michael Slezak elaborates by saying that they're also hogging the spotlight. thanks for the summary! i modified the original post to add it, but i forget that once you've viewed a thread, the next time you click on it, it takes you to the post where you last left off. veeeery smart forum we have here!

yet another mention! from the recap of wed. 2/11:
"Still, if Stephen's nerves don't do him in like they did in Hollywood Week, or if Ricky proves to be the next coming of Jason Castro, it's possible Danny or Anoop could be left holding out for a wild card."
well, ricky can try, but there is only ONE jason castro!

Which one is Ricky? I have a hunch there will be comparisons to Jason during this season, although so far we haven't been shown anyone unique and undeniable.

oh that's really cool! haha I love how michael is always mentioning jason too! altho yea there will NEVER be anyone close to jason! I guess any guy who has more of a folksy/songwriter vibe will be compared to jason. I remember him.. but I don't remember what he sang.. if I had video on this computer I'd check.. but here's his pic

Oh yeah...I do remember him. I liked his voice. If he makes Top 12 we'll have a thread for him down in the AI8 section.

So has anyone talked to Michael Slezak about becoming an official dreadhead and hanging out here with us? We could use a little testosterone around here!
