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. 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 .

122. I think Jason has the most personality, more than the whole lot combined. Watch his body movements- they tell you how he's feeling and what he's thinking. I can see where he needs a little voice training; I mean the kid hasn't even been singing that long. I really like his style; the fact that he sticks to what he believes in no matter what Andrew LLoyd Webber says. Even if he gets voted off eventually, I think that he will go far. I have a grandson that's two months older than Jason. I know what I like.

123. Castro had better not be going anywhere but to the Top 5. He has a beautiful voice and incredible ability to convey emotion and poignancy. He's a breath of fresh air on this stupid stale dog and pony show.

124. 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!

125. 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.

126. 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.

127. 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".

128. 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.

129. 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)?

130. 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.

131. 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!!!!!!!!

132. Why do you say Jason is a loser? Why, because his trying to better himself, to become more in a positive way. Maybe you and your girlfriend shouldn't watch AI nobody needs negative people like you and your gf. I'm pretty sure Jason Castro has gone further in life than you will ever be. Jason is a beautiful person and his singing is unique. Its very hard for someone to imitate his singing, AI will not stop the show if you two stop watching. Jason rocks! We love you!!!!!!!!

PS I can understant why people are jealous of him, his face and vioce are angelic.

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

134. Jason's time has passed and so has this show, clearly. American Idol has fast left the arena of being a singing competition and turned into a middle school talent show complete with screaming girls casting votes for the "hot boys" example: Jason, while kicking off all the real (talented) singers.

135. I want Jason to win simply because I believe this kid will one day be far more than just a singer. I feel he is a humanitarian at heart. I really enjoy a variety of music genres but am so tired of being overwhelmed with big and loud music and voices. I am messmerized with his soft to the heart performances. His performances for me are personal and intimate (something we don't ususlly get) from the others. I feel he will become someone to look up to and that, my friends, is what and idol is to me.
