After Jason Castro sang some Bob Marley and what he could remember of Mr. Tambourine Man I knew he was done. The judges weren’t kind to the dread locked kid.

After David Cook and David Archuleta took the top two spots, no surprise there, Syesha and Jason were the last two standing. Castro clearly knew what was coming. Mercado is scrappy and pulled the “this is my dream” speech and even added the political pull at “having either the first female president or black president” was all just so “overwhelming.”

I have no idea what Obama and Clinton have to do with her American Idol adventure. Maybe they have tea parties after the show. Regardless of the BFF status Castro seemed happy to be going home. If he wanted to score another week he should have done something hot….like shave his head or get knocked up.
