For those of you who were wondering: Jason Castro did NOT forget his words on purpose Tuesday night. In fact, the idea that he was ready to go home didn’t really hit Jason until he was standing on the stage with Syesha Mercado. Although he was dreading having to learn 3 songs for the coming week, he was looking forward to a hometown trip. Jason insists he never threw in the towel–he always tried his best, he says. Also, he claims that he mouthed “Vote, vote” to the camera after Ryan gave his numbers–not “Don’t Vote” as some conspiracy theorists have claimed.
Here’s what Jason had to say to Jessica Shaw from Entertainment Weekly who quoted Jason admitting that he wanted to go home:
The fact of the matter that day was I was in a bad mood. I was frustrated with a lot of things. Then I got on the phone with you. I was just not in a good mood. I couldn’t find a quiet place to talk to you and I kept walking around. I couldn’t focus while we were talking. I don’t even remember much of what I said. There are some days that are just like that. You just don’t want to do what you are doing.
Next week, for his personal song choice, he was deciding between “Blue Eyes” by the Carey Brothers and “Green Eyes” by Coldplay.

Amanda Overmyer–Eliminated tonight. Damn. I think she did herself no favors when she declared Tuesday night that “Ballads are boring” and seemed to be sneering at Simon’s advice. Appearing early in the show, with a middling performance didn’t help her either. I think Amanda was somebody you either loved or hated. Her tough biker-chick persona is not for everyone. But, that’s exactly why I liked her. The white chicks on Idol tend to be these pretty little pony princess types. Amanda is certainly not that. Although she’s not as versatile as some of her castmates–her vocal ability was limited to blues rock–I think she would have added something different to the tour.
Seriously, the Beatles two weeks in a row? What’s the point? The kids did a really good job last week with the Lennon/McCartney songbook, why push it? And push it, indeed they did. I’m hearing the kids were working on another theme (birth year) when TPTB in their infinite wisdom, decided to change themes. The kids had to scramble to pick new songs. That bit of chaos shows in tonight’s performances.
