Is there a lady in your life? (from stephanie_15)
No time right now. Working on my album!
How is being an actor different then being a rapper? (from Alejandra.)
I enjoy doing both. But as a musician, you're able to delve totally into your creative side whereas as an actor, you're expressing and reacting to someone else's words.

At some point, I'm sure you will.
Do you still keep in touch with the "Degrassi" cast? (from Alejandra.)
Yes.
How has Weezy impacted your life? (from ->MANNY<-)
It's been amazing watching and working with Wayne. He has such energy and crazy work ethic. So I see firsthand what it takes to succeed.
Do you ever see yourself collaborating with a Latino artist? If so, who? (from Alejandra.)
I'm open to working with anyone interested in creating a vibe that folks can enjoy.
Drake, what's on your iPod? (from Alejandra.)
I enjoy all genres of music: hip hop, R&B, rock, jazz.
If u could go to any country in Latin America where would you go and why? (from stephanie_15)
There are parts of México and South America I wouldn't mind visiting for the culture... and for the ladies, Brazil during Carnivale or Cabo.
f you could learn another language what would it be? (from stephanie_15)
Any new language would be cool if I had the time to really learn it.
What's the thing you always wanted to do but never got the chance to do it? (from "RiCkY")
I'm doing what I've always wanted to right now!
What do u say bout all the haters? (from ★☆ emi lover ☆★ ..)

Jason Castro
whodat
thu 2/4/2010
If you ask Jason Castro, he'll tell you losing on American Idol was the best thing that happened to him.
A fourth place finalist on the seventh season of Idol, the 22-year-old Castro wowed America with his electric blue eyes, an ear-to-ear grin and a Jeff Buckley-inspired cover of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah. But the dreadlocked singer-guitarist felt his days as a pop star were numbered once he sized up his competition: "I did the best that I could, but once the show started asking us to learn two songs a week, I had a hard time keeping up. Syesha and both Davids [Cook and Arcuhleta] have been singing forever." Castro, who had no formal vocal training prior to his appearance on Idol, was grateful for the support he received from fans but admits feeling relieved once he got the boot: "What it came down to is just my inexperience."
Born in Texas to Colombian parents, Castro says his folks were instrumental in both boosting his confidence during auditions and softening the blow of losing: "Most of my encouragement came in Spanish… they were really supportive." After signing a deal with Atlantic, Castro promised to stay away from the "manufactured pop" that he believed Idol produced. Late last year, he released his debut single, Let's Just Fall in Love Again, a bouncy folk-pop number that's closer to Jason Mraz than Jason DeRulo. Castro recently dropped The Love Uncompromised EP, a five-track disc featuring more acoustic guitar-driven jams like "If I Were You" and "You Can Always Come Home."
Castro, who plans on releasing a full-length debut later this year, says he's happy to avoid the hype machine that can follow an American Idol finalist: "My main priority is just writing good songs. Everything else will fall into place if you have good songs, I believe."
