'American Idol' Hopeful Jason Castro's Secret Weapon: Bruddah Iz

'American Idol' Hopeful Jason Castro's Secret Weapon: Bruddah Iz

There's no question Jason Castro's Tiny Tim-esque rendition of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" was one of the more memorable performances on "American Idol" Tues nighttime — one that will in all likelihood part with him relegation to the show's bum ternary. Castro shined as he gently strummed his uke and swooned, practically to the enthrall of the gobs of fresh-faced preteen girls wHO were huddled together at the edge of the "Matinee idol" stage, not to mention Trick Norris.
Wish Castro's before carrying out of Jeff Buckley's impassioned cover of Dutch Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah," which was hailed by the "Paragon" book of Judges for its originality, the dreadhead's take on "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" was praised in one case once again for its brilliant slaying. Just both Fidel Castro and estimate Simon Cowell made sure enough credit rating for the arrangement was precondition to a Hawaiian treasure named Sion Kamakawiwo'ole, wHO was affectionately known as "Bruddah Iz" by the island dwellers.
(Fidel Castro isn't the only if dissident known for covering covers. Check come out the reactions to David Cook's second hand renditions.)
Unluckily, Kamakawiwo'ole testament ne'er know just now how much his translation of the song helped Castro's cause, as Bruddah Iz — wHO, at last number, weighed 758 pounds — passed away to a greater extent than a decennium ago, due to a weight-related respiratory illness. He was only 38 long time old.
Not long after his death, Iz's casket was laid come out for mourners in Hawaii's Capitol Building building, so that fans could devote their final exam respects. He's only the tierce someone in Hawaiian history to be accorded such an honor, and the only non-politician. An estimated 10,000 attended Kamakawiwo'ole's funeral and cheered as his ashes were scattered into the Pacific Ocean.
Chances are you've heard Iz's take on the "Virtuoso of Oz" classic, because it's graced the soundtracks of "Run across Joe Lightlessness" and Adam Sandler's "50 First Dates." The strain has besides appeared in commercials and punctuated the death of Dr. Mark Honey oil on the TV dramatic play "ER." Iz's edition of the call experienced a huge leap in gross sales followers Tuesday's episode and is presently #14 on iTunes' top-downloads heel.
According to Hoarding, Iz hush sells scads of records, posthumously. Punt in 2004, the sung reached #12 on Billboard's Hot Digital Tracks chart, and the path continues to be a low-charting simply steady seller, passing 1,040,092 downloads as of finale month. Last July, Kamakawiwo'ole's Wonderful World opened at #44 on the Billboard albums gross sales chart, marketing more than 17,000 units. It was Iz's biggest gross sales week e'er.
For Fidel Castro Ruz, "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" could end up existence the song he's most remembered for, when entirely is said and done — much like it was for season-five runner-up Katharine McPhee, whose public presentation label Randy Jackson applauded as "amazing and hot." It even melted the pump of the surly Herbert Alexander Simon Cowell, wHO called it her best performance of the season.
