With the top 24 firmly in place, we’ve hit the business end of American Idol Season 7. Earlier this week we showed you how you could watch full episodes online, but if you haven’t checked out the link here’s what you missed.
This year the Americans have caught up to the rest of the world and decided to allow their contestants to use instruments. The first person to take advantage of this was Jason Castro, and it really paid off.
Sure his rendition of Daydream wasn’t pitch perfect, but it had such a fun, effortless quality that it didn’t really matter. I felt like I was watching a campfire sing-along.
His low key performance was a big contrast to the pretentious karaoke we normally see, and I loved every second of it.
