Over the past couple of days I have been told by friends, family and co-workers that perhaps I am a bit too emotionally involved with Jason Castro’s run on American Idol. So it’s probably best for both me and Jason that he was voted off last night, although that’s not to say the sadness has subsided. I’m going to be down for a few days, but life goes on. And Jason seemed very relieved to be done with that whole mess — even requesting at the last minute to replace “Mr. Tambourine Man” with “I Shot the Sheriff” as his sing-out song, much to the horror of the judges. Last night’s show reminded me of why I adore Jason, what with his off-the-wall comments and endearingly honest responses. It’s a shame he won’t get the special final three hometown visit, but, from one Aggie to another, you made Texas A&M very proud, Jas. You will be missed.
For all of you Archuleta lovers who keep saying Jason isn’t talented, I leave you with his best performances during his Idol run.
Top 16 Week — “Hallelujah”
Top 8 Week — “Somewhere Over the Rainbow”

I’d like to see Archuleta perform a song without gasping for breath or licking his effing lips four hundred times!!
Sorry, sorry… that’s just me being bitter about the lack of eye candy on the show now.
Thanks a lot Whitney! My boss just walked in while I was hugging my monitor and tounging the screen! Geez.
I’m with you Whitney. He might not have been the most talented but he seems more real and has more genuine personality & pure charisma then anyone else on the show. HOPEFULLY like others before him (that got the boot) he will still have a career. That way we can still have our eye candy Snacky!
Jeez, I care way too much about this crap.
I’m happy he’s off because besides Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood, all of the other “winners” have been upstaged by those who were elimated (i.e. Ruben Studdard/Clay Aiken…whoever one that one season/Daughtry) He will be more successful without the Idol title but the show did serve its purpose. I absolutely adore this guy - he’s sweet, has a unique voice and he’s hawt, of course. I love the way he sings out of the side of his mouth and the way his voice sort of breaks. Uggh what style and now we are left with the weenie, the pseudo-rocker who steals every body’s “arrangements” (incubus - “hello” and cris cornell - “billy jean”) and the token ballad singer. I’m not even voting anymore. BUT I AM GETTIN TIX TO THE TOUR! And I’m makin a big ass sign for Jason - molten hawt vocals baby!
I do believe Taylor Hicks “one that one” season with Chris Daughtry
YES! I will keep my fingers crossed for his career. I agree cooter, the other people said what they thought the audience and judges wanted to hear, Jason didn’t really have a filter.
And I’m all about the eye candy. I paused my DVR on Tuesday just so I could look at him for a few moments.
What if I cannot stand Archuleta and still think Jason’s only mildly talented?
Please pass me the kleenex box. *sniff sniff*
:-(
This box & bud are for you qc.
He should be the next bachelor, they could have women that a actually interesting.
sigh. he really grew on me. i think it was the stroke victim drew barrymore-esque singing out of the side of his mouth.
oh and the pungent scent of marijuana that emanated from the tv every time he was on camera.
