American Idol - Down With Castro
It appears that after last night’s elimination of Jason Castro, all is just how it should be in Idol Land. Thank goodness Teflon®-coated Syesha will live to sing another day (I guess). Well, when I say “all is well”, I mean - except for the fact that Michael Johns won’t be performing in the Top 3 while sporting a tight black t-shirt and leather pants… I do regret that I won’t be treated to an Aussie “gun show” come next week. Other than that, things are fine and dandy. And will continue to be so long as D-Cook continues to ride the wave.
I have to admit, after the season-long blubber-fest courtesy of nanny Brooke White, and then the tearful breakdown from Syesha this week - it was very refreshing to see a contestant head home that didn’t go all weepy and whiney on us. Jason took it as well as any burner worth his salt (or “oregano”) should. And even though his lost-lyric perfomance of Mr. Tambourine Man reminded me of this:
…he will live on in my heart as the guy whose most difficult challenge in life has been dealing with being dead brain… or is it brain dead? Whatever. We all have struggles.
Good luck to my personal favorite American Idol contestant named after a dictator, Jason Castro - as he heads off into the sunset to learn about Cuba, and have some food!
