Ding Dong, The Dreads are Gone on Idol

...had Jason admit that his "brain is dead" (big surprise there)

LOL. Yah I thought that was really hilarious. Well at least he's self aware!!

I actually like Jason and his style. I read or heard somewhere that he really wanted to go and even Ryan said something to the effect that he (Jason) looked relieved. It was extremely apparent when he sang at the end of the show. Jason seemed more enthusiastic than he has ever had during any time on the show. Oh well.

For me, I'm not in love with Archuleta. It's hard for me to see him being marketable other than having a good voice. He can out-sing Jason but there seems to be something about jason that is marketable - and we know that good looks can more than make up for an average voice. The same with Cook who I think has the greatest upside of the remaining three. Just my opinion. I think Archuleta could end up like Taylor Hicks.

Say what you want about Idol and its voting results/trends....but slackers never prosper. While people love to hate Simon Cowell, they respect his opinions as a legitimate star maker. He showed real disappointment on Tuesday night, and the voters took it to heart.

I was so happy Jason got the boot. He did seem like he was happy and relieved to go. He sang a lot better last night than he did Tuesday.

Yes!!!

Now, if we can somehow get the teeny-boppers to stop voting for Archuleta...I have a strong feeling David A. will win it all, just because he seems unstoppable right now. Despite singing the same bland song (with different lyrics) week after week after week, the judges and voters seem to think he walks on water. If I had to sit through an entire concert of his crooning I'm pretty sure my ears would bleed.

Bo Bice sounded awesome......and yes, very glad to see Jason (whatever, dude) finally go home. What up with all those tears Sayesha......going all political and telling us about how we may have the 1st woman or black man as President......guess she's a dem, eh? I say she goes next on the basis of that remark alone.

I like Jason. But it really looked like he wanted to go. And being number 4 will not exactly wipe him off the music industry.. it may just be the beginning for him. So it's not a sad ending.

Besides, AI is still a singing competition, and when you compare Jason's style to the powerful vocals of the top 3, it's pretty obvious that he's not gonna be the winner.

Bo Brice? ;)

Jason had long worn out his welcome. I sincerely hope David Cook wins... he is in another league compared to the rest of the contestants!

I don't agree that Jason Castro was the one who "least deserved to be there". From what I've gathered, the show's original intent was to find undiscovered original talent. Jason definitely has that! The remaining 3, and most of those who were chosen to begin with, were already accomplished performers. I think it's easier to keep up with the grind if one knows a lot of songs already. Personally, I loved his version of "I Shot the Sheriff", and I am old enough to remember the original releases by both Bob Marley and Eric Clapton. (Okay, his voice was a little strained, but what he did with it was great). I never watched a "reality" show until my housemate got me interested in AI last season. I like the "talent show" aspect of it, but there's a lot of meanness in the judges and fan's comments that I can't stomach. I am also not naive enough to imagine that the show isn't "fixed" in all kinds of ways, including the band and the sound mixing. I wonder how many people watch the show to see someone fail? I may go back to reading a book on Tuesday and Wednesday nights.

I loved Jason castro's voice from the very beginning, he was unique, smooth, sultry and pleasant to listen to, Robin Thicke and Sade have voices in the same style. If he stays away from the Marley type material and goes in the direction of Robin he would have hit after hit.

David Cook is very creative and Syesha has excellent stage presence, David A. seems too rehearsed sort of like a "Stepford Wife".

I worry about David Archuleta. I wonder what Daddy Dearest is going to do if Sonny doesn't make it all the way? I understand how parents might live out their fantasies through their children, but David's dad is kind of scary if the media can be believed.

I really can't stand reading an article that is biased by the writer when it's supposed to be "news". Jason Castro had a HUGE fanbase and made it that far because of it....so if you could, try to stick to the "news" and not be a Simon....the world only needs one of him.
