Jason Castro.

Memory.

The rehearsal was awfully pitchy; I'm old enough to remember Manilow's tenor pipes blowing the final verse into the stratosphere. Solo piano accompaniment as he sits center stage. It's heartfelt to begin, but again in the first line, I hear him breaking the line in odd places. Phrasing.Is.Important. And the lower range is important, too, as the bridge sounds muddy and pitchy until the melody line returns to his comfort range. Key change, as the audience quietly waves side to side, and Jason's voice misses a note along the way. It wasn't bad in most spots, the painfully low bridge excepted (Watch out for your head!), but it wasn't good either.

A 4.

Randy: Wow, um, you know, I do like musically vocally for me, it was a little bit of a trainwreck.
Audience: BOO!
Randy: I'm sorry. It's just not the kind of song for you. This is like too much melody for you, too big of a song.
Paula: I'm used to hearing this by a power female voice, but it was a very wise choice. Further indentifies your unique being as an artist. Like Joe Cocker, "You Are So Beautiful."
Randy: He IS a beautiful guy, though.
Simon: THe longest 2 minutes of your life, right? Reality is, it came over as a young guy being forced to sing a song at a wedding you didn't want to sing. You were miserable throughout. Not your style of music.
