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 Umm, the only comparison that comes to my mind when looking at this picture is the interesting shirt/sweater combo? LOL!

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! JB, testosterone we could use, but I'm not sure if they will last the estrogen and progesterone explosions we sometime have...

NEW SHOUT OUT!! In the recap article Michael wrote today Feb. 18th he mentions Jason again:
"My one big fear about the new format, though, is that it could punish a terrific singer like Ricky Braddy, who wins this year's Jason Castro Underdog Trophy, awarded to the contestant who isn't heard breathing a single note through the audition rounds and Hollywood Week, before making a strong first impression in the semis."

Kiersten, another Jason Castro mention. I hope he continues to use every opportunity he has to mention Jason's name. Thanks for bring this over to us.

That's exactly what I thought when Ricky sang. His voice was good and solid. However, Ricky isn't unique and undeniable...people noticed the dreadlocked dude whereas Ricky didn't stand out.

I totally agree w/ you Hanna! Ricky gives the same sortof vibe as jason but not memorable. I do like him more than Danny Gockey who's just way tooooo publiced...too much hype was put on him..don't really like it. He did A'ight last night but I'm still more inclined to go w/ Ricky & Anoop.
Overall...last night's show was dissapointing. too bad.

I'll never forget the first time Slezak mentioned this. I can't recall the exact sentence (if someone can recall the exact saying or have the link - it would be a bless) but it was something like: "from cannon fodder to a contestant in one moment". I remember I had to search for the expression - "cannon fodder". We actually have the very same saying in Hebrew. It can be better translated (literally) as "cannon meat".
I guess that this first impression moment, against all odds, had so much impact on slezak that this impact is still echoing to these very days!

Michael just can't forget our Jason...from today's recap, 3/5: "Indeed, for every thrilling David-vs.-David finale that restores your faith and fandom in the nation's most popular talent competition, there's usually an infuriating counter-agent: Paula's critique of Jason Castro last season — before the dude had even performed; the cockroach-like survival skills of Sanjaya Malakar and Kristy Lee Cook; the sight of Fantasia, LaToya, and J.Hud in the bottom three, with John Stevens and Jasmine Trias sitting on the safety benches." www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20007164_20171835_20263104,00.html
