Some of you may have noticed that some of us have been talking about someone named Samuel Larsen here on the boards, as well as Twitter and Myspace, etc... lately. Samuel Larsen is an 18 year old musician from California. He was on American Idol early in the season but didn't make it very far, which alot of us think isn't right. He is an incredible talent and I would like to start this thread to spread his name to more people. He is currently auditioning for GLEE, and alot of us have been voting like crazy to get him up there! Go here to watch his audition for GLEE and give him Gold Stars if you like what you hear www.myspace.com/gleeauditions?link=10433744Today he posted a video to thank everyone for voting for him, for checking out his music, for everything! He has many more videos on his youtube that are just great, so check them out www.myspace.com/SamuelLarsenwww.twitter.com/SamuelLarsenwww.youtube.com/thatsrightisaidit51www.samuellarsen.bigcartel.com <-- Buy his EP, it's really good

I don't compare him to Jason at all, Jason is one-of-a-kind and Samuel is his own self

That's it Amanda but on Twitter I was "accused" of liking Samuel because of his resemblance? Which other than the dreads I don't see? Even musically they are different. But they are both unique in their sounds and I like that. Samuels voice is like butta on some of hgis songs.

I love Samuel. He's talented, sincere and very grateful for the support. I think he would have made it farther on Idol if not for the dreads and guitar, to tell the truth. I'll always believe they were afraid of his appeal because they wanted it to be a girl's year.
He said he may try out again so we'll see.

I'm not sure what we're voting for, even though I've given him probably 1000 votes. Is it so he can audition for Glee? A guest role? He doesn't automatically get on if he gets the most stars, does he?

No the most stars is not an automatic role sheesh Danny Noriega is leading blech. It is an audition...I'm sure they'll look at. The vids of all the highest stars and call them in. This guys got "it" in spades and deserves a break. Not only that I don't want Danny to win nuthin!
I know I'm drivin ya'll crazy on Twitter sorry unfollow me if you want but I see/hear somerthing in him that I think is wonderful. That and I'm having fun like when Jason was still on idol...similar. I played his vids for a guy I've known for years who's currently with BET (doesn't help wrong genre everyrthing) but even he was impressed at the talent this kid has wirh drums,bass,guitar, vocals and appeal. Called him presale? So I apologize if I come off a little ott but well you've known me for how long? Lol I never claimed to be normal.
All I ask is that ya'll give him a chance and tolerate me untill this trhing is over thanks

How did he produce his EP? Who helped with funding it? And I may have missed something, but why the hate on Danny? Did he talk badly about Jason like the "bag of rocks" lady did?

He did it all on his own Serene. He has a friend with a bedroom studio, that's where he did it all. He funded the whole thing himself.

I LOVE all his Thank You videos he does with Air Hugs and kisses and I love you's haha And I bought his EP and think it's really good. He doesn't remind me of Jason Castro either, with the exception of having dreads and lots of bracelets. His voice and personality are all his own. He's not real shy but doesn't come off as cocky to me. I hope Glee or someone else will take notice of him so he can catch a break

Well, I'll admit that I didn't give Samuel a second thought before, but Kali, your enthusiasm has got me intrigued. I'll go check out his stuff, and if I like what I hear, I'll throw him some stars too.
