Usually by this point in the competition, the final four Idol contestants tend to leave judges (including Simon) wowed by their performances. Unfortunately for Jason Castro, that wasn't the case. The dread-head not only tanked by judges' standards with his first Bob Marley tune, "I Shot the Sheriff," but he forgot a chunk of lyrics in the refrain of his second choice, Bob Dylan's "Mr. Tambourine Man."

Your take: Do you think Jason cracked under the pressure of being in the final four, or does it seem as though he's "given up" and is just phoning it in at this point?
i think that jason should have been voted off long before michael johns or carly because they both were better singers and performers than jason. hopefully he will be voted off this week.
Our boy is tired He just wants to go home. The last two weeks he was yawning, don't know if they rest and sleep enough, he knows he will never be American Idol with those screaming boys. So why bother... too bad in my heart I know he is good. Being rich and famous has a high price. Is he willing to pay the price??? I don't think he is that materialistic.
Come on now, he has never seemed to be serious about the quality of his performance or whether he stayed in the competition. I see him as one of a large population of current youth who have no ambition, no drive and no pride in their contributions. He should have been gone long ago - a few weeks before the huge error of losing Michael Johns.
I assume he is still there because he appeals to young girls who think he is cute, but that really isn't what this is about, is it?
after watching an interview with him about two weeks ago. I think Jason was wanting to go home. He said he was missing his family and friends more than he realized he would.
