Poor beautiful, sweet, perpetually stoned and clueless Jason Castro. The dude is just tired and outta weed. Let him go back to Texas so he can sit in the bed of a pickup truck and look out over Lake Ray Hubbard, smoking a joint, me nestled in his arms... Anyway! I hate to admit it, but I'm beginning to like Syesha. I mean, compared to Archuleta I'd let Randy win the damn thing, so Syesha is fine by me. David Cook is fine and should probably win. And maybe he will! Shrieking teen girls always seem to take their favorites to the final two, but rarely close the deal (Clay, Diana DeGarmo, Kat McPhee). What do you think? Is this the end of ol' Dreadlocks?

My case of McPheever had nothing to do with being a shrieking teen girl.
L.A.I. ["Life After Idol"] he's moving to McKibbin... hippie.
Stoner Castro is ovah!. Tra la la la la, erm, Mr. Tambourine man, smoke a fatty for me.
When did they start letting trustafarians on the teevee?
Wasn't he on that MTV reality show about Cheyenne? I think he was the boy for who she dumped her gay boyfriend.
I agree - Jason was a disaster last night. A cute disaster but a disaster nonetheless.
I, too, am embracing Syesha lately. She's got a great career on Broadway ahead of her...
I am DONE with stupid Idol after last night. Were the judges not unnecessarily CRUEL to my sweet Jason??? Their David/David winner agenda is so obvious. Though I seriously think Jason has been desperately trying to get voted off for the past couple of weeks. That lyric flub was totally staged.
Ok, I'm just going to go get my tinfoil helmet and sit in the corner mumbling about American Idol conspiracies over here.
David Cook so obviously deserves to win, which means he probably won't.
I swear, Jason Castro sold me some bunk acid my freshmen year of college. Glad to see he's cleaned up his act.
Look at that picture. But really look at it a minute. Do people honestly watch this person perform without laughing their asses off?
Come the fuck on, America. This kid's enough to make Taylor Hicks look like Johnny Cash.
Lake Ray Hubbard + Gawker = scariest post on the interwebs, ever. Why does Gawker know of such a place?
He is going to grow up to be a beautiful woman.
Is that Lake Ray Wylie Hubbard?
Did Syesha really compare her time on American Idol to the civil rights movement?
@TipsyRussell: I know. That was a bit silly.
For the tuckered out contestants who just don't care much anymore, there should be a spin-off: American Idle. The former contestants simply hum, whilst putting away the Tupperware which stores the leftovers of their moldy dreams.
@TipsyRussell: Yeah. That was awesome. I was just happy she (allegedly) researched her song so she could sing with (a microscopic bit) of feeling. Unlike Archupoopa who (though I will agree he has great pitch) makes every song sound EXACTLY the same. He sings with feeling but not with emotion and it makes me want to punch the judges when they all bow to his greatness.
Syesha made "A Change Is Gonna Come" her own by, erm, comparing this Civil Rights Movement thingy she just learned about with her own struggles to reach the top four.
But that's still not as bad as a dreadlocked stoner kid with no idea why someone might get in trouble with law enforcement on some island somewhere desecrating Bob Marley like a frat boy at a karaoke party.
@TipsyRussell: She has to compete with David Archleta's song choices that scream "Pick ME!" His attempt to sex up to the little girls in the audience is further perpetuating him into the land of odd. I don't watch the show, however. X
@BK_KT: I like your theory! It did seem sort of eerily smooth, the way he transitioned to the humming. There was no "oh shit, I forgot the words" moment.
@TipsyRussell: I couldn't believe it, either. She even had a second chance to clarify (after she and Paula exchanged estrogen across the stage) and instead reinforced the point. She did hit those notes at the end, though.
Jason is a moron. He should have gone with Roy Orbison's "Crying" or Big Star's "Thirteen" (if they were available).
@PrincessKashmir: Or "Don't worry, be happy" (let's ALL sing).
@PrincessKashmir: Also, why was his version of "Forever in Blue Jeans" so hated on by the judges last week? Thanks to him, I've been blaring that song nonstop in an effort to lend some street cred to my Hyundai Accent.
"I would pack my suitcase." = Best. Critique. EVER.
@Word salad: Damn if I say it you can slap me right here.
@Martita: Also, don't you think he's sung that song, oh, about 50 MILLION times before?
@PrincessKashmir: That song is titled The Reverend Blue Jeans, as far as my 8-year-old self is concerned.
That's a dude?
I was crying because of the toxic ingredients in chemical relaxers and the lasting damage they do.
@rina: What? I'm not sure what you mean. After reading my own words, I doubt anyone knew what I meant. I was writing 'perpetuating a myth' on a document, but wrote that here. I put 'catapulting' on the document I was writing, so I leave in shame today (as most days, but more so today).
Pack up your hacky sack, you little John Travlota-lookin mofo!
@Chaim Gnadelstein: That's what I keep thinking. He looks like a woman in drag as a man in drag as a woman in drag.
@CodePink:
Let him go back to Texas so he can sit in the bed of a pickup truck and look out over Lake Ray Hubbard, smoking a joint, me nestled in his arms...
American Idyll
My favorite part of last night: Ryan shooshing the audience.
David Archuleta needs to stop panning adorable. Unless he does that naturally. He's like a gay koala bear.
To Jason: Don't get stoned before going on national TV. It was painful to see everyone trying so hard not to mention "marijuana."
@Word salad:
Public Enemy - "Fight the Power":
Don't Worry Be Happy was a number one jam
Damn if I say it you can slap me right here
am i the only person in America who has never once watched a single episode of this show?
@rina: Aha! Thank you for the clarification. Here is what I had in mind:
+ Watch video
Shudder about this: it wasn't shrieking teen girls who carried Clay to number 2. It was crazy middle-aged ladies. And they are the same people who love Jason Castro.
Just saying.
