JASON CASTRO'S TIPS IDOLS IN TV GUIDE

05.10.09

Check out TV Guide this upcoming week for a segment in which Jason Castro and fellow Idol alums advise this current round of rising stars! Pick it up on newsstands everywhere.

We love Jason Castro. For his music. For his effervescent personality. For his *cough* physical assets. But we never forget that he is a fine PERSON. It only makes us love him more.


Thanks TAMU. And Laura Anne.

Associated Content's Demitra Dixon seems to really hit the nail on the dread (sorry, really, sorry) in her article. Sometimes, it takes a chick to get it.


After Jason Castro's lackadaisical approach to the Idol stage, one wasn't sure if he'd just decided that the music biz wasn't for him. However, he took his time and charted a path for himself. Maybe he's made a good choice, we'll know one the album hit's stores. For Castro the biggest thing should be staying true to his life philosophy. He's a 'no worries' kind of guy and he needs the autonomy to do a record that celebrates him. We shall see how it plays out.


The article is mostly about Allison Iraheta. You can read it here.

This blog comes a little late, but I thought it was fitting to end our one year celebration with a tribute on our blog.

During our celebration, we presented "member voted" awards to our beloved girls...a fun little way of acknowledging some of our most devoted members, our friends. Winners in some of the most noteworthy categories were:

Most Devoted ~ ambergotskillz
Wittiest Poster ~ Madi
International Goth Girl of the Year ~ curls
Goth Girl of the Year ~ Jcmyfascination

We've had a pretty memorable year, I'd say. The first came just a couple of weeks after we moved into our new home. Jason gave us a shout out on his blog! Don't remember? It was July 8th, and I nearly fell flat on my ass out of my computer chair when I read:

"and theres a certain group of GOTH GIRLS!! that keep gifting my with waterguns! so funnnn!"

The very first acknowledgment from Goth Daddy himself.

The American Idol tour was in full swing by that time, and plans were well underway to present our second group gift. Two bottles of wine and a HOT pair of Diesel jeans with "GG" monogrammed in red into the fly. The attached note read:

"Jason, the Goth Girls have finally found a way to get in your pants."

Jason's reaction was priceless.



And he wore them! He actually wore them. I mean...when I suggested that he should wear them after the show, I never thought he would. Yet, there he was with our jeans wrapped around that perfect ass of his. I could not believe it. It was the Goth Girl orgasm heard round the world...Jason's fan world, at least.



We got our first audio shout out from Jason that very same night during a Goth Girl live feed, and it wouldn't be the last. Since then, Jason has acknowledged us during his date night vlogs and the live webcast, and he commented on girltarist's myspace. Some of the girls were even lucky enough to hang out with Jason at the Amar a Morir after party. Lucky bitches!

However, the most shocking moment in Goth Girl history, to date, tied with Jason's Diesel clad fanny, and that was:

Betsy becoming a Goth Girl!

Okay...so not in the way that you're thinking, but she did register at our forum, completed her user profile, and posted.

"Thanks for all your support and all you do for Jason [and may I add Michael :-)] Y'all sure have a way with these boys!"

She even came back to give us an update on Jason's reaction to our third group gift, Operation Hot Stuff. Betsy sure is full of surprises and so was the last year. We can't wait to see what else is in store!

EOnline has announced their Top 9 Best American Idol Finalists (Who Didn't Win). Among them are Melinda Doolittle, David Archeleta, Jennifer Hudson and Clay Aiken. While some may question the inclusion of Sanjaya Malakar, it comes as no surprise to us that Jason Castro has made this list. This all proves that America (or maybe Americal Idol) doesn't always get it right.

Apparently, Associated Content has picked up on the fact that Jason signed a recording deal with Atlantic Records. They are a little late on the uptake but have said some nice words about Jason Castro.

"...his cheerfulness, his style, his obvious talent, and that winning "whatever" attitude seemed to buoy him through."

Thanks, Saul.

Leonard Cohen, the composer of Hallelujah, will be performing next week in Chicago for the first time in fifteen years. Although it has been recorded by many artists throughout the years, it makes this author wonder if the success of Jason Castro hasn't brought Cohen a new generation of listeners.
