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.

121. 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>

122. 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?

123. 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.

124. 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.

125. I thought that Idol was a SINGING CONTEST, three of the best singers are gone and the only good SINGERS left are David A. , Cook and Syesha who I thought was the best female SINGER in the group. It's really sad when SINGERS work hard to do justice to a song and then fat head Randy and stuffy Simon blow them off. Simons great find who performed last week SUCKED so if that is how he judges singer the rest of the singer left should sing badly, look badly and maybe they will get his vote... IDOL has become a joke and really I think they are losing viewers because of the Teeny Boppers who tie up the phone lines voting for non talented CUTE contestants, IT'S A SINGING CONTEST>>>>>>>>>

126. Well to all of you that say Jason Castro is making it because of the young girls here's one for ya. I am 65 and I love his voice AND I admit that if I were 20 again I would love to be categorized as a Jason Castro groupy. Now I'd just like to adopt him. Love his music .

127. Personally, my girlfriend and I are appalled that this bum is still in the running, he has ZERO talent and the ONLY talent he does have seems to be to get all the girls to vote for him. Seems to me that Idol is not about Talent this year but about Popularity, I have seen Michael Johns go, he is 10 times the singer Jason is, I have seen Chakezi (sp) go, who just leaves Jason in a trail of dust and debris and tail lights, I saw Carly go last week and I even think Jason himself was shocked that he wasn't booted...so come on people, use your heads, all of the good talent is being booted because you girls are getting all mushy over this guy and giving this loser all the votes, he can't sing worth a damn, he knows how to do two things....1. sit on a stool and 2. strum a 600 dollar ukelele or a guitar. Do the world a favor and show this loser the door this week, he wants to go, he just needs a push...WHAT...you missed his yawn backstage last week?, that wasn't enough for you?.....WAKE UP ALREADY!

128. If anyone should go it should be Brooke White. This whining, boring woman should have been booted awhile back. She doesnt even have that much talent. To think that Idol lost Carly who really did have a beautiful voice and yet we still have no talent Brooke - what a shame.

129. Well it's like I said earlier, if they would vote on the TALENT and not with the harmones, nobodies like Jason would have been gone weeks ago and good talent like Michael and Chakezi would still be with us but everyone drools over this dreadlocked idiot like he is some kind of god, when was the last time he washed that mop?

As far as brook goes?....she's honestly trying her best to make a go at it while Jason just sits there and sings the same damn way every damn week and impresses me not one single bit, and apparently doesn't impress the judges anymore either.

GO HOME JASON and wash your hair boy.

130. Last week when Carli got the boot, I swore I would not watch, but I did. Thank God Brooke is gone. Jason better be next. They are both horrible. To all the little girls who are keeping Jason alive, knock it off. Don't you realize you are possibly ruining the chance of a lifetime for someone else who has talent, for someone who is "cute".

131. Big voices do seem to be all the rage these days. Yes, all the contestants left (except JASON) can belt out those songs. But I am so tired of them. I don't want to be screamed at any more. This guy (JASON) touches my spirit and I love him for it. and yes he is cute (so what)?

132. Yeah and not to mention ruining the integrity that this show is based on.....................TALENT - NOT POPULARITY!
doesn't matter anyway, I think the producers are already aware of what is going on with this year's voting and they are restructuring the show for next year so losers like Jason can't survive as long as he has. But my girlfriend and I both agree that if by some miracle, Jason wins this year?, we're never watching this show again. We both predicted that either brook or Jason were going this week, then Jason next week and then Sayesha and then it wqould be down to Cook and Archuleta in the finals................that's how it SHOULD GO if you morons vote on talent and not on popularity.

133. I keep hearing about voting for talent not popularity. Okay, I can do that. Jasons talent is what makes him so popular with me and my family (this includes my husband-40s, myself-40s, my sons -27,26,and 11 and my daughter-9) Also, I played all of Jasons songs for agroup of friens. Let me tell you about them. They are all blind. Music IS thier world. One is completely blind, two see shadows and blurs. They love this guy. Never saw the show and know nothing about it. Loved Jasons sound. Period. And these guys have loads of music, everything you can and can't imangine. One even plays bagpipes and yet I am under strict orders to let them know just as soon as they can get Jason Castro on cd. So, you see for some of us it is his talent that makes him popular, the dreads just add to the fun.

134. Jason has to go next week he has no talent

135. Jason Castro, What in the heck is he still doing here!! he is the least talented, has the ugliest voice and those faces and gestures he makes! Looks like he should be coming out of a little yellow bus every morning! Are you kidding me!! this guy is nothing but a joke!! If this show was really based on talent he would had left a LONG time ago!! too bad its just a popularity show that is mainly voted by little young girls who know nothing about music or talent... He is absolutely rediculous!! The way this show is going I wouldnt doubt it if Jason wins this thing....... WHAT A JOKE!!!!!!!!
