American Idol’s Jason Castro says he is ready to go home, even though fans voted non-stop crier Brooke White off the show. (Given the amount of Kleenex that girl must go through each week, we feel this was an environmentally friendly decision.)
Maybe it had to do with Paula Abdul’s obvious confusion on Tuesday which prompted her to critique Jason’s second song… even though he’d not yet sung it. (Sources claim to have seen Abdul acting “bubbly” after drinking at least one martini just hours before the show’s taping, but Abdul denies being drunk. As martini afficionados ourselves, we’re rather certain the absence of 4-letter words during her critique of Castro is proof enough of her sobriety and suspect, instead, she was stoned on Valium.)
Or maybe it’s due to Castro’s bad meeting with Neil Diamond — during “Neil Diamond Week” on Idol — when Castro hadn’t bothered to learn his lyrics before showing up for his mentoring session with the legendary songwriter.
In fact, as late as Monday afternoon Castro still hadn’t bothered to practice, telling an Entertainment Weekly reporter “What happens happens. I’ll sing and if people like it, they like it. And if they don’t, they don’t. I’m kind of ready to go home.”
Castro says the whole experience is a bit “overwhelming” for him. Why, just last week fans sent balloon bouquets after learning that Castro was sick. “That’s cool, but that’s just weird,” he said of the girls who’d organized the “get well” delivery.
