After weeks of phoning in his performances, Jason Castro was at last shown the door on tonight's American Idol results show. And I don't say "at last" in a mean way -- Jason, after all, is my reality TV boyfriend. But, seriously, it's like he'd given up after weeks of taking a critical drubbing from the judges, culminating in Tuesday night's harsh words after his messy, unfocused performances. Those harsh words were well-deserved. I mean, he couldn't come up with something to throw in there when he forgot the lyrics to "Mr. Tambourine Man"?! Instead his smiley, "da-da-da" thing just made him look like he was cracking a joke on a high school talent show stage.
Having said all that, I will miss the guy, but despite his obvious love of music, he really didn't seem cut out for Idol's bright lights and big-time stardom. He is talented, however, so I hope we haven't heard -- or seen -- the last of him. I can totally envision him playing bars and coffeehouses around the Dallas area!
