16. He looks like a retarded John Travolta - grew his hair so people would notice.. yawn, if he wasn't on idol you whores... you'd pass him buy and go.. holy stinky.

17. Yes, he is the guy from that MTV show Cheyenne. By the way what ever happened to her??

18. Putting a negative slant on this is ridiculous. This kid is not only talented, but good-hearted...definitely "idol" material. His family has asked fans who want to send him something for his birthday to donate to a charity in his name instead.

I hope he goes far in his career.

19. Hey, TMZ, you're slipping if this is gossip. I know I've seen some shirtless pictures of him somewhere. Hop on it!

20. I love Aggie Mens Club. These are a great goup of men that represent Texas A&M and now there is one in American Idol. Jason is definitely someone who deserves to win idol!!

21. Leave him alone. TMZ only has time to try to be mean as that is what readers will read. Jadon is an awesome kid . . . why don't you look at the positive EVER!!!! Maybe this world needs a bit more Jason!

22. TMZ has been a guilty pleasure for a while, but this is where I draw the line. Jason Castro is a very talented, shy, sweet kid, who does not deserve this kind of treatment. Shame on you for trying to put such a negative spin on this "story." If anything, I now like him even more for trying to make this world a better place, and I wish there were more people like him. Good luck Jason!

23. COOL! I really like this kid, and now even moreso.

Wonder if he did work over there, with the same outfit I did several years ago...called
Teen Missions, Intl. Their headquarters are based out of Florida, where you have to do some boot camp first,
just to make sure you have what it takes to live in harsh conditions.

I was stationed in Guatemala, up in the mountains of Villa Nueva, where many of the Mayan Indian live. We built an orphanage for the kids. Then we did some work in Tegucigalpa and Honduras. Living over their a few months was
the best experience I ever had...despite the poverty, I loved it, and almost didn't want to come back, because
I loved the children, and the good feeling inside of helping them....despite...
living in run down buildings with no doors or windows, or furniture... slept on cement floors, with dirt and mud all around during the rainy season, and huge bugs, little food, and lots of hard work!

Anyway...just pondering...
I doubt Jason will read this post, but hey, never know...if he does, would love to know if he is with the same outfit...good people!

24. Seems like a nice guy. Just has crap hair.

25. So, it's a negative thing that a kid who has done good things in the name of charity and human kindness decided to take a shot on his own future? A future where if all goes well, he will have the time and the money to continue to make an impact and bring more attendtion to the plight of those children and others like them? TMZ, I can honestly say that your meanspiritedness towards these kids on AI is revolting. But hey, at least you gave the charity some publicity. I'm going to make a donation to some friars I know who live and work in Hondouras now. Thanks for the impetus.

28. God, this is the worst TMZ can find on Jason????? I'm head over heels in love with this guy. I don't think the media can figure out what to do with him.

29. What kind of crap are the TMZ writers producing? I won't call them journalists as this story is as slanted as one could get. YELLOW YELLOW YELLOW! I agree with others, since when does helping poor people in foreign countries make you a bad person? Why are you faulting a wonderful young man who goes to church, school and now we find is in an organization that helps poor children? I can't find anything bad about Jason Castro taking the opportunity offered to be on American Idol, what person in their right mind wouldn't make that decision? I think I will boycott your site from now on as a hateful, yellow tabloid that sees no good in anyone or anything. Shame on you editors of TMZ for placing a negative spin on a positive trait in any human being...helping others. You all need a lesson on humanity.

30. No way should TMZ be slagging on Jason - this kid seems so sweet and unaffected by his new gig on AI. I doubt he makes it to Top 5, probably Top 6, but I would love to see him win. Look at him - the camera LOVES him as we call all plainly see.
