Another 'Idol' Hopeful Flubs Song

NEW YORK (May 7) - "American Idol" hopeful Jason Castro became at least the third contestant this season to flub lyrics to a song.

The Dreadlocked One performed the Bob Dylan classic "Mr. Tambourine Man," and forgot the words to the second verse Tuesday.

Wearing a goofy grin afterward, Castro acknowledged: "I lost some lines in there; that's kinda bad."

Judge Simon Cowell thought Castro's gaffe could mean the end of him. "Jason, I'd pack your suitcase," Cowell told the 20-year-old folkster from Rockwall, Texas.

The other two judges were less than impressed, too.

Randy Jackson said Castro wasn't "in the zone." Paula Abdul was, as usual, gentler.

Earlier in the night, Castro sang Bob Marley's "I Shot the Sheriff" and got brutal reviews from Jackson and Cowell.

Castro is not the first "Idol" this season to forget the lyrics.

David Archuleta, who's still in the running, goofed during a Beatles song and castoff Brooke White forgot the words to Andrew Lloyd Webber's "You Must Love Me."

Jason was horrible once the top 10 or so was picked. He's very unique and stuff, but he sings the same in every genre. He completely destroyed the songs he sung for the Rock n' Roll theme week, so I think that showed America that he's not ready to become an idol. But, I hope he finds a job somewhere in the entertainment business, he'd be good for that. Hopefully David Cook and Syesha Mercado go all the way! (:

Ya know what ? Jason needed to get voted off.. Its gonna come down to David and David in the end. Syesha is good and will make it but not as the american idol. David A. is just totally awsome , hes young and has a great voice.

And the year that Talyor Hicks won , nobody ever hears about him anymore. The people who didnt win you hear more about. ( they all make it) and I think that David A. can become into a great singer as he becomes older and will really make it. lol

It has got to be David Archuleta. At such a young age he can out do the older ones by far. He's a genius.

The Beatles, Bob Dylan and the Byrds didn't know history either. They had talent but not for everyone. These kids do too. They are all good and just trying to make it big like all of us. It takes GUTS to get up there in front of the world and perform.

Jason's 22, I believe, not 20 as the article states: in any event, the most beautiful voice and energy of AI season 7 just left the building. However, I'm sure Jason will continue to praise and worship the Lord and churn out his particular brand of feel good, easy vibe and great aura tunes that just plain make us feel happy. Love you Jason, you were and are my favorite this season, keep the faith and peaceful, easy feeling!!

JASON HAS THAT JOHN TRAVOLTA LOOK FROM THE PAST, CUTE-CUTE-CUTE, PERSONALLY HE'S EYE CANDY FOR ALMOST ANYONE. AS FAR AS HIS TALENT, HE CAN IMPROVE THAT AFTER HE WINS. HE'S A HOTTIE!!

Finally! I really don't know how he made it this far. Jason should have been voted off a long time ago. I honestly don't see what kept him on so long. Week after week talent like Carly and Michael are voted off, and Jason continued to coast through.. America has to realize that this is a talent competition, not a popularity contest.
