Jason and his siblings Michael and Jackie doing a pretty lovely cover of Adele's Hello:

MargoK

Nice to hear Jason Castro's name. I don't know if I can listen to other people cover this song by Adele. She sings it so hauntingly; it melts my heart. I can't wait to hear the rest of her album!

Listening. Okay -- it's not awful, just different. Some of the harmonies are quite nice.

Cereal Killer

"Awful" didn't even cross my mind with this cover. And yeah, it's different but I think there's (usually) no point in doing a cover if you're gonna do it exactly like the original. (Which is what I love about most of the Idols that they can make a song their own. )

MargoK

True!

I love the Idols' original takes on songs, it's really one of the best things with the show. And of course it's great to see them continue doing it after the show too.

MargoK

It makes it hard for them because people compare their versions to the originals, but I still enjoy many of them.

Margo

Cereal Killer

Yeah, I think comes with the nature of the show. But most of them are so talented their versions don't pale in comparison.

Jason had some really memorable performances on the show too.

MargoK

Yes, he did, which is how he got where he did.

Margo

Cereal Killer

Yeah, his performances really appealed to the audience.

MargoK

He won me over with "Halleluiah"!!!!!

Cereal Killer

That was a standout performance for sure and probably his most memorable one.

I've met Jason Castro! My friend and I took a picture with him.

He had me at Hallelujah as well. He cut all his hair off; those long locks!

Cereal Killer

That's cool you met him! How was he?

Hallelujah probably won a lot of people over. And he looks so different since he cut off his dreadlocks.
