Jason Castro did the impossible not once, not twice, but three times up on the 'AI' stage tonight. With his disappointing performances of "I Shot the Sheriff'' and ''Mr. Tambourine Man"...

I'am so tired fo American Idol not giving Syesha her props.She is the one that should win AI,because she is the only one with soul.The two Davids bore be,and the show has seemed to for get about talent it's all about white people that have no soul.I have watched this show from the first show to now and it seems that they dont want another black person to ever win again.This is so sad because Syesha is the only one who can really sing.The judges never give her credit for being a great singer.They let a lot of talent go from the beginning because they were black.I'am so tired fo this jacked up show.

Last season there were black singers who were absolutely dynamite..and none of them won. This season my Chickezie got voted off. Despite S"yesha's really gotten her voice to a professional level, I bet she gets voted off. It's all about "Archie". Get my drift! Don't get excited folks..I'm a white 65 year old grandma and I call 'em like I see 'em. Tuesday I am going to see how many times I can hit "redial". Go baby girl!!!

I agree! I agree! And I'm a white 67 year old grandma! Why do they.....?...vote off the black singers. There are have been so very many excellent singers!! Chickizie for one. He rocked my soul. And yet...there he went. I can't believe America is that stupid...Do you think it is rigged? About S'yesha...that woman's voice is fabulous! Remember what Andrew Lloyd Webber said about her? "She is going to be a great singer is musicals" which of course is what he wrotes!!

I don't know why everyone is on Jason's back. Has anyone listened to his studio songs, which are better than either of the David's recordings? Did everyone forget his moving performances of Memory, Halleluah, Forever in Blue Jeans, Somewhere over the Rainbow and MOST of his other songs? Yes, he is different. He does not belt out songs and run around the stage like crazy. He is just himselt, and if you don't like him, that is fine. But he deserved to be in the top 4. Actually, he deserved to be number 3. Idol has never had anyone like him, and if the show continues, they probably will never have anyone like him again. The most memorable part of this entire season (other than Halleluah and David A.'s Imagine and Angels) was Jason's comment to Simon "What did you think you were doing?" Jason smiled his beautiful smile and said emphatically " I was doing Bob Marley, man." My 63 year old Mom and I were rolling out of our seats. We watched it over and over. So losing Jason will mean losing a great looking, wonderful singer and a humble, guenuine, non-conforming guy. It was great to see someone reaching the top 4 but still refusing to do what Idol wanted. Jason's career is sure to soar, probably beyone the winner (think Daughtry). And millions of people feel the same way as I do. I am not taking anything away from David A. because he has an UNBELIEVABLE voice and I really hope he beats fake Syesha and arrogant David C. At least David A. is humble and seems to have a good personality, but he is still not Jason.
