Pre Order or Buy Jason Castro Full Length Recording on iTunes

*Jason Castro was not given air time in the Auditions or Hollywood week so he is another person that we haven’t heard sing on the show at all as of yet*

However, there are a couple of videos below that have Jason singing at a bar.

Update: With more singing and camera time I really enjoy Jason. I hope he stays with the show for a while.
