How is Jason Castro still in this thing?

1 May 2008 by David in American Idol

For one reason or another (mainly because I have a DVR), I’ve watched every single episode of American Idol this season, purely for entertainment purposes. I don’t have a morning radio talk show I have to prepare for and talk about the elimination blah blah blah HOW IS JASON CASTRO STILL A PART OF AMERICAN IDOL?

Seriously, who out there is voting for him? David Archuleta has the teen/tween vote, David Cook should have everyone in America’s vote (he should win–and will), Syesha is about to be kicked off, but she isn’t worse than JASON CASTRO. Everything about him screams weak, naive, frail. He’s not even close to being the best singer. He’s like prancing through this thing magically getting to stay around every week. He looks just as surprised as we do when he isn’t in the bottom two.

Michael Johns had one bad performance with “Dream On,” and all of a sudden he’s gone. There is NO WAY he was worse than Jason Castro. Carly Smithson had a killer voice. Even Amanda Overmeyer could rock through half those songs Castro poorly navigated.

Just watch this. Watch as Castro tries so painfully to get through BOTH of his Andrew Lloyd Weber songs. And he didn’t get kicked off:

If he wins, I will have lost all faith in this Idol franchise (or I suppose America’s voting decisions). But I must be missing something because 48 million votes don’t “accidentally” get it wrong.

    Well, I agree with you. I was so sad that Brooke had to leave. Even though she hadn’t been doing that great lately, I love her voice and her style. Jason is so girly and it REALLY annoys me.

    [...] you fair warning: There might be a spoiler here. Heck, it might have even been a spoiler when I mentioned it a few days ago. Either way, last night Jason Castro brought new lows to American Idol just like I said. It so [...]
