  • you can just sing this song. you have to feel this song.

  • the sounds like a total twatty rockband backing singer. gtfo you smackfruit

  • i enjoy everyone who rips on him saying he ruined this song. if you watched the show, you would've known that he grew up listening to this song, it was his favorite bob marley song. and how many of us sing to this song too? your just as bad for saying he ruined this song cause im pretty sure you wern't much better. just sayin' :p don't be immature and start an argument. just saying my opinion.

  • @ohskylinesky i can sing this song way way better. he isn't singing from his stomache, therefore he sounds like a girl. my opinion, he got his fame too fast

  • @smokasomeweed he has a good voice but he needs direction; thats not his fault but MUSIC is sacred communication. it's nothing to mess around with, you either hear music in your head all the time=musician or you don't. bob marley would smoke weed and then hear crazy alien music in his head. its all a matter of recording this music

  • .....and the sherriff shot my vocal chords in retalliation!

  • o0 what is that o0

  • A word of advise for this gu. Don't try a Bob Marley song. Its just to hard and will only be compared to the legends version

  • reggae was never meant for this guy

  • that was horrible!!

    he has bathroom dreads

  • What are bathroom dreads? Like hair-dresser made ones?

  • something like that, real dreads, to me grow from the head, natural and no parting is made, like bob marley had, very organic

  • jesus...

  • WOW this guy ruined this song!!

  • GO TEXAS he seriously lives like 30 minutes away from me.

  • False rasta twat.

  • lol i actually liked this.. i didnt think he deserved to go

  • oh gosh haha

    well i LOVEEEE ARCHIE!!!!!

    we met all of them except jason cause he came out and was like pshh whatever im going back inside WOW..real nice of him

  • which show did you go to? i heard that at LA they didn't let Jason come out even though he wanted to. jason loves his fans and constantly does such nice things for them.

  • oh gosh

  • and i also nail it(not trying to get cocky here but sorry if i am)

  • so that's why he sang this on result show..Ha.Ha...Love..it.

  • hm. I actually didn't hate this one. Not his best, but certainley not his worst either. He certainley did better on this than say..."Mr. Tambourine Man" for sure.

  • yea but we all have our opinions right?

  • i like his take on this! it's fun!! my favorite!

  • David A NEVER got out of his ballad zone but everyone still made a fuss about him. Every artist has their style and "comfort zone" which their best at, every artist has their limits. That quote randy gives "if u can sing u can sing anything" is false. I dont know about you but i certainly cant picture dolly parton rocking out to a bon jovi song and actually pulling it off. This show expects u to be a jack of all trades" when in reality, the music business does work that way.

  • DAVID COOK WON!!!!...congrats man:-)

  • YES love david cook

  • he didnt take the competition seriously..but i like him

  • lalamandelala Jason is a true artist...No he is not a belter like the others but he is a sensitive performer...and it is clear that you prefer obvious spoon feed commercial talent...

  • I hate to sound rude....Lets be real, this guy should of never made it to the top 12.... Amanda, and Micheal johns, and Carly are so much better than he is...he might of got 4th place, but I bet those other three have bigger Cd sales.......

  • i personally don't like this guy. I mean, his performances are ok, but boring. he has an alright voice too, he just needs to get out of his comfort zone.

  • what do u mean by get out of his comfort zone? Hes singing a "Bob Marley" song on American Idol...lol thats probably the biggest risk anyones ever taken on this show. If u mean he should take more risks with his voice & belt like the others, i dont agree. Hes not that type of artist and i dont think u have to be in order to be talented. His fans love him the way he is. An emotional genuine performer who sings through his soul.

  • Jason was the only original thing left on American Idol. Now that he's gone, I don't watch it anymore. Jason was unique and charismatic and put originality into the show, which the judges obviously can't handle. Yeah, maybe the other contestants are good singers but their all generic. I thought the performance was OK, not amazing, but not even NEAR "atrocious" Good luck in the future Jason, keep your head up.

  • I'm sorry, this is just my opinion and you have a right to yours. Jason is original and had a LOT of charisma, but the whole point of American Idol is that you have to be able to sing WELL. Not badly.

  • hey hes not the worst person they had on here example, AMANDA OVERMEYER, and SYESHA MERCADO

  • syesha mercade? u think syesha was bad? that's odd, i LOVED syesha. but amanda, ya

  • all i hav 2 say is don't diss ppl if u think ur better then y don't u go up on stage and preform like that not so easy belive me

  • i have done that i am in choirus at my school and i get solos all the time so you cant say anything about it can you

  • da man!!! this is mean i dont know wat all u guys r on about but he's just feelin the roots man..

    LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE!! ahahaha

  • It's obvious that Jason wanted to leave, I'm thinking that his "goof" wasn't an accident.

    I liked him, and I was glad he left with a big smile on his face. If he had been sad it would've ruined my week.

  • well said i agree and he was my favorite

  • He is still my favorite!

  • Idol wasn't the same tonight without him...I was bored through the whole show. Jason was so much fun and gave the show a nice energy. I am so excited for what he's going to do now though - he is an amazing talent!

  • he was horrible

  • LOVE IT! I agree with you deathshadow61009

  • America is going to get tired of Simon Cowell and send his arse back to Britain. Let him treat his own kind like shit because we won't put up with it.

  • DAMN.

    hella good song choice butah.

    not liking him singing it though.

    ahahahaha JK

    DAVID ARCHULETA =]

  • how does anyone know that he was on ecstacy??? where did that come from?? seems more like the goofy pothead type to me if anything...

  • im a big bob marley fan and i loved that jason castro did i shot the sheriff. i definitely think that he mouthed "dont vote" at the end (which isnt shown in this video), especially after reading in entertainment weekly that he said he wanted to go home. dissapointing because i really liked him!!!

  • he cleared that whole thing up. He said that he said "vote" then wanted to emphasize it again so he said vote again (vote vote) but he kicked himself afterwards cuz he knew ppl would misinterpret it. Thats y after his 2nd performance of tambourine man he only said vote once so he wouldnt make the same mistake. As far as the article, he said he was having a bad morning when he gave the interview & it kinda came across wrong. Its a shame cuz he lost alot of votes due to those misunderstandings

  • I just heard Eric Clapton's earlier today. Castro does not come close. Sorry.

  • I AGREE!

  • I Shot Jason Castro lol

  • I can't get enough of this - I love it!

  • AWFUL

  • you most definetly are the only one

  • Ok i think i am the only person in the world who liked this i thought it was awesome

  • HE SHOT THE TAMBOROUINE MAN!

  • I cannot stop laughing at what Randy and Simon said! They were so right too! That was aweful music!

  • he shot the sherriff and me too...YUCK

  • i was thinkin BOB MARLEY!!!

  • Jason came across as being one of the few contestants in any season of Idol who was completely unpolished and didn't "play by the rules." It sort of seemed like he was a thorn in the judges' side, so it's kind of appropriate that "I Shot the Sheriff" was his last song.

    I hope he comes out with a CD soon!

  • no he said "vote, vote"!!

  • did he say "don't vote"?

  • I think he wasn't taking his self serious, just trying to have fun. He doesn't realize what a great voice he has.

  • i meant voice btw lol :P

  • and also (u may not know anything about singing) it IS a hard song 2 sing cuz u hav 2 get ur voce 2 strain a lot and stuff and when he sang halellujah, he really showed he can sing. so don't go sayin he can't cuz he can. :D

  • ppl if u look on da otha videa (the 1 where comments r off) he actually DID say don't vote cuz he said afta da show dat he didn't want 2 stay in another week cuz he didn't have anymore good songs 2 pick and he was stuck. that is also y he wasn't taking the show as seriously... he wanted 2 go!!! and he got what he wanted. bye-bye jason!! yo still rock! :P

  • Jason we gonna miss you,Best of luck. Great song! You got the look of my favourite

    Bob Marley.

  • The best song choice EVER !

    You're the best Jason and we love you for being who you are.

    Be true to yourself and you'll be happy.

    God bless you.

  • Terrific! Only Jason Castro could and would pull this off!

  • Love it! Only Jason Castro could pull this off! The best moment ever on AI.

  • Guys people are saying he said "vote vote"

    but really i dont know if thats true cuz if u look closely his mouth didnt close to say vote the 1st time only the second and the first time u can tell it was dont

    Just making that clear incase ppl think he said tht

  • whoa wrong song for him :P

  • This guy shouldnt be in the top 20.He hasnt the talent or vocal ability.I think the dreds appeal to a few but he has no talent.David Cook is the best all rounder and has a big future.Jason always sings safe,easy songs with a very limited vocal range.He attracts little girls with a smile but the talent isnt there.

  • I never really liked Jason. He kind of... Ruined two of my favourite songs. And I honestly tried to like him.. I fell in love with his version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow". But that was all.

    His voice is too simple, so he has to do simple arrangements. When he sticked to that, he gave kickass performances. He could've pulled off something by Teddy Geiger or "Hey There Delilah"... But he doesn't know himself and what suits him best (As the Davids and Syesha do).

  • GREAT ONE Jason !You chode the right song.

    You were the best in this show and thr judges hated you for gettings all the votes.They did it in purpose to get rid of you.You have milllions of fans that will follow you wherever you go.I'm sure your cd will be number one.

    Good job baby - I'm very proud of you.

  • Chode?

  • it is pure blasphamy to have a white punk with dread hair extentions that cost him $2500 to destroy such a sacred song I am so glad he's gone put him in Brittney Spears's back up singers.

  • Tune in next week when the discussion about pink bunnies provides evergreentreez with another opportunity to insult fellow Americans in a pathetic,desperate attempt to be "accepted" by hateful foreigners.

    BACK TO THE SUBJECT - Not sure why this performance has been singled out amongst the many horrific performances given by Castro. This is a SINGING competition, got that judges. Quit judging him based on his "charisma" and "connection with the audience."

  • shut up fool

  • Jason shot himself in the foot ... poor thing.

  • HEY MA' LOOK AT ME AT TOP OF PAGE!

  • wow..this was..awful.

  • people that know you probably think the same about your face

  • Jason Castro is talentless.

    But Americans are notoriously slow and it took them, as usual, awhile to figure that out.

  • Jason castro in an X-head who can't song for shit.

    Anyone who does X all the time, smiles all the time, so what?

    Doesn't mean you have talent.

    At least Sanjay was sober.

  • headisolater.. what the fuck are you talking about. Where does ecstacy even come in the picture. Just because he likes to smile and has a goofy laid back personality? Get a life. If he didn't have dread locks you wouldn't even think that about him.

  • fake guitar and this gu< sings like crap

  • see a stupid comment like that says more about you than it does about castro

  • @ pricklycactusplant

    No wonder your name is Pricklycactusplant, cause you really are a prick. SO what if he screwed up the song, its comments like yours that will drive him into depression, which will lead to drugs, and the overdose. Prick.

  • it's dumb shits like "prickly" what ever that are into the michael boltons, debbie gibsons types that basically are for the simple-minded main streamers, and only like one kind of pop whore crap music!

  • this is my favorite bob marley song!

  • Reply:lmao yes weak performance but who are the f@#$ are we to judge? Bahahahahahahahahahaha

  • Syesha or however you spell it should've been gone before him,

    but he blew it on purpose. he didn't want to go one more week.

  • this dude sucks

  • you pussy.. what would you know, you tin assed pig!

  • i can say i honestly never heard of a "tin assed pig" lol very original but very idiodic also. if you think this guy did a good job then you know NOTHING about music..lol you are a fan for all the wrong reasons.

  • Wow, he really sucks! good thing he's gone.

  • you suck your mother!

  • really good...

  • Jason, I really loved u and was anxiously awaiting some raggae out of u. Then u totally BLEW the Bob Marley song. Good luck in your future endeavors

  • He'll overdose on ex within 9 months.

  • Jason can be singing the Cuppy Cake Song and I'll still love it! He's voice is so awesome and original <3

  • He was on way too much ectasy all the time.

  • i think he knew he was going

  • This guy makes Sanjaya look like an accomplished vocalist.

  • Just like Sanya only little girls liked him. Good riddance!

  • that's so not true. Me and my friends who are in our 30-50 age range just love this guy's very cool vibe!!!! very relaxing and unique.

  • try studying where you bible came from and you will find if you are truly honest and not a bigot that it is not such an important question you are asking.

  • I think he shot himself.

  • lawdddd i wish they just vote him off....hes so no Americans Idol

  • nice vioce, but lucks power

  • ah ahhhhhh AHHHHHHHH! must.....find......Clapton

  • still luv 'em

  • song suit the hair

    =]

  • about time!

  • dude u upset bob marley on his tomb wtf!

  • thank god his out...

  • i absolutely love his attitude!! ecspecially when the judges were hating on him. i hate american idol- there's no point in having judges, but i like all of the contestants. i dont know who i want to win now...

  • he shot the sheriff this time...

  • he totally screwed himself over these past few weeks, with his apathetic attitude and just not putting much into his performances. i think he could have possibly had a career but now he's only gonna be remembered but these past few weeks.

  • Exactly.

  • That is sooo awful

  • wack!

  • fucking boring...

  • it was different, and unique.. he posses an original talent that just needs more experience.. will miss him, and wish him the best!

  • You have absolutely no taste! Your an idiot.

  • ok.. and, you are a retarded bastard who is a whimp.

  • Instead of wishing people death, go and do something useful like clean your yeast infection, you dimwited bimbo. You're a loser, with absolutely no musical talent whatsoever. You wouldn't be able to recognize talent if it bit you in the ass! Now go listen to your Survivor albums.

  • dumb faggot! go fuck yourself in the ass so you release your anxiety!

  • "dumb faggot!" You must be referring to Jason Castro, you fuckin' poser!

  • you're a piece of shit laying on the grass with flies hovering over it, waiting to be run over by a lawn mower and shot into the street to be run over by a bus which will carry it between it's tread until it meets a smelting pot where it then will be incinerated!

  • Holy shit! And I thought I was talking to a chick! You fuckin' fruitcake! Your affection for Castro is now apparent and duly noted! Go mindmelt w/ Castro's dick,! And don't start shit you can't take, dickhead.

  • i feel bad for him. i hope he gets a deal.

  • Goodbye airheaded, bitch! Syesha is next!

  • someone run over you with a car plz!

  • This song does not work with vibrato dude. WTF? This guy is getting kicked off the show.

  • you can't sing reggae for a bunch of teenage white girls!!?? they become very retarded when it comes to bob marley and jimmy cliff and pple like that.

  • Sleep well tonight sweet Jason, for tomorrow your real future begins..

  • terrible

  • /watch?v=1UEOZGFzPas

  • /watch?v=1UEOZGFzPas

  • Thank goodness... this piece of shit is off the show!!!

  • God I hate syesha

  • Finally! The good vocalists remain in the competition. Voting for syesha for an hour really paid off i guess. :D

  • Thank God Jason is gone..... it was just his time to go.. he sucked

  • agree

  • i love this man. and he didn't get this far JUST b/c some girls think he's cute.

    he CAN sing. [:

    he just made a few bad mistakes last nite w/ song choice and the way he arranged it. but i KNOW he'll put out a great album in the near future.

  • HAHA who would think he is cute

  • MILLIONS obviously...

  • omg get a life please

  • oh good,finally he's gone,didnt watch the show tonite but now i know that he's gone,thank goodness.i dont know why he was around for so long,he was just plain bad and boring.

  • i'm so depressed he's gone, but i'm soo friggen excited. i hope he puts out a great album. yanno of course anythin he does put out would be amazing but that's besides the point. he's going to go so far in life. i can't wait<3 i love him.

  • He's not talented. He deserve to have got voted off! It's a singing competition and he abused that. He sucked this week just like most weeks with the exception of a few. Sure he's a nice guy, but so is everyone yet in the competition.

  • Good point, this song sucked as well as the other song

  • Gooooooooooo Jason, you WON in your fans' hearts. You're different and we love it!

  • i thought he as cool

  • Ok. I'm sick of all you people saying he was the only one with a personality. He didn't have much of a personality, just as he didn't have a voice! The other contestants of course have a personality. How could you people say they don't!?  Look at Syesha yesterday! How can you say she didn't have a personality. And no, Jason Castro can't win American Idol, because it's a singing competition... and he can't sing. The only reason why he made it because some girls thinks he's cute!

  • bullshit! you know nothing!

  • meh, Im 18 and I vote for him because I think he's the most humble being on this show. I dislike this show tremendously and was excited for someone who was different and not another pop whore...byeeeee-yo

  • thank you!! well said.. and, ditto on the pop whore crap!

  • Im not sad hes gone, i'm excited for whats to come from him. All jason needed was to get his foot in the door and he did that. He may be out but hes accomplished something that he should be proud of. Now he can start his career with the millions of adoring fans he has gained through this experience right behind him and he can do it without the AI chain wrapped around his neck. Thank u jason for being the most genuine, unique, authentic soul to ever grace the idol stage. Dreadheads forever!!!!!!

  • wow that was so stupit what you just said

  • well seing as how i have 3 thumbs up next to my comment and u dont, i guess it wasnt that stupid now was it? People that come on here bashing him are stupid, not the people that write sincere kind comments, thats alright though, i'm used to u jealous haters by now

  • no, but you just said was.. ignoramous

  • I agree 100%! We're ready to see him tour!

  • all the while is good..but this round really sux

  • that was damn sexy

  • I thought so too...and I actually thought he sang it rather well.

  • oh god this is soooooo horable. hes out for sure!

  • bob marley is rolling in his grave

  • He's rolling in his grave w/ a big phat one.

  • Yep. I bet he is. He completely butchered this classic tune.

  • its said that he did a lousy performance intentionally to be voted off since theres no point in staying when you cant win anyhow.
