Last night's elimination felled another "American Idol" wannabe - or didn't wannabe - Jason Castro who mumbled the words to Bob Dylan's "Mr. Tambourine Man" on purpose Tuesday's show and got the boot. Castro's rendition of Bob Marley's "I Shot the Sheriff" was earlier deemed "utterly atrocious" by Simon Cowell, who told the dreadlocked singer, "Pack your bags."
Castro admitted he "screwed it up" this week. "My inexperience is coming in," he shrugged - more relieved than disappointed. Did he even care?
The 21-year-old had a hard time learning two songs in a week, three for the final was going to be too tough of a challenge. The guy was mellow andlikeable but he was too laid back to show interest in winning the contest.
So while Jason couldn't be happier to be heading home, his elimination gets AI to the final three: Syesha Mercado, David Archuleta and David Cook.
