From JCM:
Things are moving a mile a minute in lots of different directions. Turns out Jason won't be on Idol this week and the song won't be on iTunes tomorrow. We know this is not what you want to hear, BUT there's really great news coming soon.
We know how excited everyone was for the big week, but it simply wasn't possible to have him on Idol due to time constraints. AI and Jason are looking forward to a future appearance if scheduling permits.
Consider all of our preparation an amazing dress rehearsal for the real deal when it happens. Jason being Jason, we can probably expect to hear from him in the next few days.
Thanks again for your patience and support….
Stay Tuned….

These things happen all the time! Not a big deal, as you say it was a great dress rehearsal! It will be soon and it will be all the sweeter!

Jason is sure to have many great things on the horizon! This is just a hiccup and as you say, Nancy, a dress rehearsal for the next big event. We'll be hearing a lot from Jason - he's on his way! Thanks for keeping us posted, and including the video. I really like the song! He has such a sweet personality too.

There are soooooooooooooo many amazing things just around the corner!!
I hated having to deliver the news last night because I knew how bummed the fans would be...but most were so understanding. It's the music biz. This stuff happens all the time.

3 'Idol' alumni target holiday season for debutsClick on this link to read the entire article. The other two mentioned in the article are Kris Allen and Adam Lambert. I'd say Jason is in awesome company in this one!!! www.reuters.com/article/entertainmentNews/idUSTRE56A0HZ20090711?pageNumber=1&virtualBrandChannel=0JASON CASTROThe original dark horse contestant on "American Idol," Jason Castro finished in fourth place in season seven and in April signed with Atlantic Records, marking the first time the label will work with an "Idol" alumnus.
"If you fell in love with Jason on the show, this is exactly the record you'd want him to make," says Pete Ganberg, Atlantic executive vice president/head of A&R. "It's introspective, playful and very much a combination of his influences, which range from Jeff Buckley to Jack Johnson."
The dreadlocked singer co-wrote 11 songs on the 14-track set, which features production and additional songwriting by Evan Rosse, John Fields and Kara DioGuardi.
"I'm really excited about the music we've written," says Castro, who also signed a deal with Universal Music Publishing Group in June. "I'm ready to get out there and show it to the world."
A debut single is expected to hit radio in August.

That is very cool that he could make a CD with his own music and input, as this is what his fans will want!!!

Message from Jason; www.jasoncastromusic.com/Hey Y'all! Just a quick update from the road. I previously told you that the album would be out in November, but it’s going to be early next year instead. As much as I can't wait to get my music out there, I really don't want to rush anything either.
As you know, I've poured my life into this album for the past several months - writing over 50 songs, recording a bunch of them, and working to get each one just right. We're really close, but are making some final tweaks so it can be exactly the album that I imagined it would be!
I'm so excited and think it'll be worth the wait (it's only a little longer anyway, right? . For those who already pre-ordered the album - a big THANK YOU! I'm sending you a bonus track that we just couldn't fit on the album. And to everyone, click on the 'shows' section of my website to see if I will be coming to your town soon - I really hope to see you there!
- JasonGood for Jason for putting out an album he sincerely believes in. I #heart_smiley# him for that. We can wait. As Jason said himself..."it'll be worth the wait." YOU KNOW IT!!!
