Fly Me
Castro Weeds Out the Drama During Flightmare

Jason Castro non-diva in the air"Idol's" Jason Castro lays low while flying high.

Freelance reporter Sue Facter tells us she sat next to Castro on the not one, two, but three American flights it took to get back to L.A. for last week's results show, and says the singer was super chill during the crazazy flight debacle.

After two brutal flights -- one of which included sharing food with passengers because the airline didn't have enough to go around, another ending in an emergency landing, Facter tells us the dread-headed singer didn't pitch any diva fits, and he was totally chill the entire time.

Just like the stoner he says he isn't.

31. Perhaps Jason was raised to be polite and not throw fits.... he is an all around pleasant, relaxed, mature person... he is NOT a stoner...

33. Enuf with the stoner comments. If you actually had researchers you'd know that this is the furthest thing from the truth.

34. Hallelujah was the best performance on American Idol -- ever. Yeah, he messed up the last note, but the phrasing and his interpretation was classic. Pure talent. He wanted to get voted off -- I mean, come on! It's got to be really lame to have to hold hands and play american idol robot. Jason is very talented.

35. Okay, the kid is obviously a genuinely good natured person, chooses to be uniquely individualistic, doesn't seem to have a bad thing to say about anyone and tries his hardest to represent his values in a loving, relaxed, friendly way.

...Seems that even the journalist couldn't find anything bad to say about him.

If anything, Hollywood could learn a thing or two from a soul like this. Granted, American Idol is a cheesy show, but maybe some of the people on it are just trying to do their thing like all of the rest of us...

Sounds like everyone is trying to make a story where there isn't one. I'd like to think he's telling the truth and just epitomizing the Love that he claims to represent. God can really make you relaxed when you choose to lean on Him. I envy Jason's faith.

36. TMZ is being TMZ and many of the regular posters are doing their usual bashing. The problem is..TMZ cannot tolerate someone who doesn't drink, smoke, do drugs, bed hop or get into fights outside of LA nightclubs. Jason will now join a long list of clean living, Christian men to come off Idol. TMZZZZZZ will continue to exaggerate, find the worst pictures possible of a them, cull stories from the trash rags and print stories without doing any fact checking. The sickest part of this is that the writers seem to love what they do.

37. I give Jason credit for ignoring the slandarous accusations you feel so free to infer from his well grounded and decent behavior during his recent flight.  It might be a good idea to back away from all the negativty before one of you end up looking at a huge lawsuit one day.  Your viewers would appreciate, I assure you , hearing truth based on facts . Your journalistic style of making sarcastic, childish remarks about Jason Castro is , frankly, appalling.

38. So, because Jason is not a spoiled rotten Diva, he is a stoner?? Why don't you people get a life and leave the poor guy alone. This is the biggest non story I have ever seen you try to make something out of! Get a grip. This so making something out of nothing it is laughable!! Ha Ha!! LOL!

41. this just makes YOU look stoned - someone in your group failed to notice you had NOTHING to report - that dude at TMZ must've been sooo stoned....hey - maybe do a story on HIM!

42. betty*the hallelujah comment*, maddy and lesilie--

couldn't agree with you all more.

i hope he makes it big and hangs on to all that is dear to him.
he's obviously being put to the test already and is passing with flying colors.

he absolutely epitomizes love, kindness and humbleness.

it's refreshing! :)

43. Jason Castro has a lifetime career ahead of him if he opens for/tours with Phish. It's his kind of music, crowd, and he'll be set for life. I hope Simon realizes that market is out there for him and signs him!

44. What a tool. American Loser.

45. Okay, to all the people bashing Jason,I would like to hear you sing, cuz I bet half you can't carry tune. And the fact that people assume he's a stoner just because he's laid back and ha dreadlocks? Get grip on reality people! So if I see your judgemental selves walking down the street in some khakis and an abercrombie shirt, should I assume you are a preppy snob? And if you're skinny, should I assume you're anorexic? I voted for Jason 500 plus times each week, I think he's an awesome singer and very unique! Rock on, Jason!
