American Idol - Jason Castro

The other one on American Idol I think is having real troubles is Jason Castro. I don't like the whole dim bulb routine that he's been giving since the very beginning. Please, know something about something.

The biggest redeeming factor for him is the cuteness thing. For the vast majority of folks, no doubt, he is extremely good looking. Who knows what his hair is like if you unraveled it? It might be smelly and ratty and nothing worth having, but in the face he has that broad face, big smile, interesting eyes, etc. When it comes to the singing, not so much.

He's done some cool things, with the guitar and everything arranged in a minimal way. But after a while it starts to show that he has no range, no second act. He might make a few records, and be the male Colbie Caillat, with that kind of breezy in-your-ear sound. He has hit record potential, but his singing, compared to the others, really is limited.

It was painful tonight, like Simon said, the two minutes was forever.
