Jason Castro: All But a "Memory"?

Jason Castro"American Idol" message boards are buzzing that tonight's "Idol" castoff will be Jason Castro -- and it's allegedly Ryan Seacrest who leaked it!

An email exchange posted on an "Idol" fan site points the finger at Ryan -- saying he blabbed that it's Castro that's getting the boot.

Only problem ... Ryan doesn't even know yet himself!

While Ryan has said in the past that he finds out who gets sent packing the morning of the show, we're told the only two people who know the big name at this point in the day are the two executive producers -- Nigel Lythgoe and Cecile Frot-Coutaz.

In fact, Nigel told us exclusively who will go home tonight -- the person with the least number of votes.

109. I love Jason's voice. I agree it may not be the most powerful but you have to admit it's different.

110. I really wish it would have been Jason. I think his singing is awful. I likd Carly. Her & Syesha did not deserve to be in the bottom 2. Who knows, after last night, I may or may not watch the remainder of the season as in my opinio, the talented ones have already been voted off.

111. Shocked is the word! Carly far surpassed Jason, and Aeysha way outshined Brooke. What is it with that pouty mouth of Brooke's anyway, and forgetting her lyrics, inexcusable. Come on folks, this is not a popularity contest.....it's to select the best and most talented singer, even though he or she may not have the best personality. Let's face it, David Cook and David Archuleta are the best singers by far....I put my money on Archuleta....he could sing the phonebook and it would sound great. I just wonder what the American public really relate to when they vote......whiny, pouty Brooke? Stupid acting Jason with those hideous dreadlocks? I'm hoping it will get down to the two Davids.......assuming that Jason, Brooke and Aeysha will be eliminated next and in that order.

113. Carly's song choice was what booted her off. That song worked in the early 70's when the hippie movement was wrapping up but now it is vile. I don't care who wrote it is a terrible song. This day and age families watch the show and have religious beliefs and that song was not appropriate. I believe she would have stayed with another song choice.

114. Jason is cute, but he doesn't have a strong enough voice to sing a variety of songs. He reminds me of a folk singer and he is good at what he does. On the other hand, Brooke is terrible. Please, I can't stand another week with her on the show. America - wise up and vote her OFF>

115. Watching Idol now. Jason not even in the bottom 2...nice going TMZ. You are full of it!!!!!

116. I'm 66 years old and voting for Jason. He is the one that I would watch in concert....or in a TV performance. His face is phenomenal. Sayesha, Brooke, David Cook, Carly are boring..........good singers, but I wouldn't watch them in a performance. I would only tune in to Jason and David Archuleta. Jason has a similar face to Ryan Gosling, the actor, who is really sensational.

117. While David Cook is tremendous and I hope he comes in at least second place I won't be spending money on him. He is too much like so many others. JASON CASTRO tho is very unique. This kid is an awesome songwriter and has a voice that is so easy to listen to. I will (and have) bought all his music so far plus anything he comes out with. Why? Because I know what his music will be like. I appreciate his straight forwardness both in song and character. And yes I referred to him as a kid bc from where I'm at he is a kid. Only 20, and yet has more to offfer than anyone else I've seen in a long time. I liken him to John Denver (not in voice or style) but in character, determinnation, and following his own star. If you like you can follow that star too. Love you Jason and happy dreaming.

118. I like CARLY and loved her rendition of JCSS. She can difinitely sing, problem is I'm not sure just what she will be singing. Just have to wait and see what comes on the radio. DAVID COOK can also definitely sing but like Carly I'll just have to wait and see. SYESHA was made to do broadway (theater). I don't really look for her to be singing tunes for the masses tho. Little DAVID ARCHULETTA, It's anybodys guess as to what he will do with his life. So far his parents have been his driving force. What does he want??? BROOKE, gotta love anyone who can hear their own heart and follow it. This girl is a great folk singer and bc she can also write she will turn out true originals. I look forward to hearing from her. JASON CASTRO, well I don't really know what to call his style, so I will just call it beautiful and unique. For the first time there is an Idol that I'm just having trouble sitting still for. I like him and am looking forward to hearing him on radio, cd, whatever. He is soothing, relaxing, haunting and mellow. Plus his spirit shines (that is what so many people are seeing in him). Yes, he has beautiful features but it is the shine that is so attractive. So let's stop arguing and vote and support the contestants that we each feel would make the best IDOL. That's what it's about and money. So if yu aren't going to plunk yor money down for your picks merchandise what's the point?

119. David Archuleta can sing but I don't think he will last that long. Exspecially, if all the rumors out there are true about him being GAY. He won't come out and say it, I'm sure until he is 18 or maybe never.

120. Well, of course he DID'T get thrown off. Jason has a pure, sweet, clear voice. He sings from the heart. He is a lot easier on the ears that some of them. Hey TMZ, don't be too surprised if Jason makes it to the top two if not wins.
