Jason Castro sings "I shot the Sheriff" by Bob Marley

[sk8erdude091100]

He even looks like Bob Marley

[singers333]

He really opened up in this song...he puts his heart into every song..but in this song he really showed attitude. I love it.

[Carliiixxxbby97]

he took the song, and he sung it like his own. nuff said, stfu and enjoy the song...

[parizekmusic]

hhhhhhhall ahhhhhhround in my hhhhhhomethhhhhhhown, they thhhrying thhhhhhhooo smack mhhhhhhhe dhhhhown...

sorry dude, but i dont like it if people make the music of the lion bad...

but "crazy" is good...!

[jotasgo999]

Jason Castro = John Travolta + Bob Marley

[MsDominic20]

I like Jason but I thought he did terrible singing this song!!

[polemizovat]

Šeps je nejlepšíííííííí:)

[Bueaify]

some people dont know what is cover...

[AmazingMonkeyQueen]

As a big Marley fan, I say this kid did an awesome job.

[rawknroll9892]

I feel like he's trying to hard to copy bob marleys stage presence

[Dudestar321]

where is the passion?

[PjLia]

*_*

[kisakye92]

Two words: John Travolta

[eloquentonez]

@leok22 u got that right..AWESOME

[IchBinHaltMaster]

smoka :D

[jrocker324]

he kinda looks like bob marley

[BrokenSilence77]

"did you ever do that. Just sing with people around a campfire? It's fun"

xD !!

[LOVEZMYZMUSICZ]

Look how famous Jason is now and those dumb judges dont know how to do ther job! He can sing that sog better then they will be able to imagine! Rasta forever!

[BellicGames]

NO ONE IS LIKE BOB MARLEY!!! YOU SUCK!! FUCK YOU DICK HEAD! :@ :@ :@

[420idgaf]

@BellicGames you're stupidd he isnt trying to be like bob marley shut the fuck up.

[limenicky]

you suck

[karlos7eberl]

hate this guy..

[karlos7eberl]

hes not a rastaman.. he think that hes the best..

[JinxedOut]

This just sounds and looks over rehearsed, his voice is nothing special. I don't understand talent shows, why would anyone want to watch bad singers ruin good songs.

[WhatNotToBecome]

rastafar!!

I THINK I FELL IN LOVE!!

[FukTCC]

ROSTAFAR I for life =]

[datniggj]

@FukTCC *rastafari

[krazy009]

wow!i thought one of Bob Marley's Son...wahahahha..i love people who patronize reggae....long live Rastaman! Long live the Concoquering Lion in te tribe of Judah!JAH RASTAFARI

[SweetLikeSugar1028]

Personally i thought Jason did fantastic! He has great stage presence and he made the song his own. U GO BOY!!

[gunther531]

clapton butchered it too but ya know theres nothing we can do about it, so everyone just calm down. all artists do music their own way, its called 'style'. chill out and enjoy the video or get the fuck off of youtube.

[cutherland]

Bob Marley said himself he loved seeing young people sing. He would love to see this. You all giving negative comments should be ashamed of yourselves, you are the one butchering the great name of a legend.

[prairieislandspitter]

@cutherland thank you

[crazyyungsta08]

@cutherland very well said my friend

[hoihoihoi300]

superb

[009ACE]

You Suck Jason Castro! Please do not kill this Song!

[SupportAdamLambert]

He reallyy sucks. Seriously. & i AGREE HE IS RAPING A REALLYY GREAT SONG FROM A GREAT ARTIST

[TheGago30]

Ich mag diese Version, aber noch vielschöner ist "somewhere over the rainbow",

von Jason Castro.

[dani1928]

are you sure it's legal?

[NOSNITCHROUNDHERE]

SORRY ASS NIGGA SHOULD JUST RETIRE

[cs4lsk8team]

Why? Why would you try to butcher the amazing works of Marley? R.I.P

[Mikey142]

He is raping the song!!

[zepplingirl13]

he definitely should have won cause his taste in music and his voice is amazing plus he's pretty hott

[MichealKeene420]

This guy should've won, if for no other reason than having amazing taste in music.

[Skibbaaa]

like MJ used to say : Ignorance, pure Ignorance

from the Judges

[eye777eye]

are you guys for real.....ANYONE who sings a bob marley song is eliminated following week....are you guys smart enough to understand why....cmon people wake up!!!!!!!!!!!

[pinkbunniebaby]

why is it that every guy with dreadlocks gets the image of "stoner?" because i believe hes an amazing singer and have you ever met a stoner with a voice like this??NOOO exactly!!! ANDDD who cares what the music sounds like this was suppost to show his talent not the instrument

[thrivingsmiles]

@pinkbunniebaby he admitted to smoking pot when he was done with the show....

[brutalstoner420]

hahaha for sure his a stoner

[ALLANVC1980]

good singer....the bass player is not even closer...the wosrt bass reggae I've ever heard :(

[auntafrica]

it wasnt supposed to sound just like bob marley's version...this is jason's version. and i happen to freaking love it. haha :)

[Koexchen]

It´s very bad. It´s don´t sounds like Reggae. -.-

[Erumaxille]

What is this shit? Has he ever heard the original version of this song? Look like he doesn´t feel this kind of music. He made this song really shitty, so sad.

[alyona43]

i LOVE singing with people around a campfire!!!

[marretjun]

Bob Marley for ever!!!! Jason is good :)

[sstslayer]

my god.. terrible.. he made it sound shit.. fuckin shits me to tears

[davidonspecialk]

i agree. his voice has no soul. might as well been a back street cover

[TheSteph623]

I Loove It!!!

[LocoCubano93]

He wasnt suppose to sound like Bob Marley, on this show your suppose to take songs and sing them to your own style.

[LifeLongLearningHub]

@LocoCubano93 nah he's smart enough not to try, cos noone can.

[shirleysfrog91]

rock on jason! you are the man

[thatsdancing]

i liked it (:

[BaileyIsAmazingg]

He looks like a hippie here.

(:

[abureel2008]

Coz we love Bob Marley & not like him as u said.. Even Zeggy can't do it like his Father Mon... I stick 2 mi view can't even consider Jason effort.!! u accepted or not BOB Is BOB 4 everlasting life here & After will remain in our heart & no one can be but him.....Rasta fari lover Man..

[abureel2008]

no way he can't sing like any African man

forget singing like Mr. Lover I Man ... BOB

[BurningArmyman]

why is a gay white guy with dreadlocks singing i shot the sherrif

[XxDanzig777]

cause its a good song dipshit and hes only half white

[delaolsen]

Half White....like Obama? Didn't know that. Sucks that African Americans got short-changed on a real Black president.

[moonzel]

Fuck this shit mothrfckr....what a shame a gay with dreadlocks sings for Bob Marley the king..go fuck ur self cck Sucker.....reggae music aint for Gays....................JAH RASTAFARI

[XxDanzig777]

how can u like bob marley and be so negative towards other peoples efforts

[Aaat0s]

@XxDanzig777

The problem is that all I can do right now is give you thumbs up

[andrewrincon]

@XxDanzig777 What a good comment bro.

[talt2328]

This is wrond on so many different levels

[NicksChick101]

im sorry but he can not sing bob marley

[MeQlow]

I agree. He has a wonderful voice, but not for reggae, and definitely not for Bob Marley. Hes absolutely great when he sings other styles of music, and hes cute as well ^^

[skok65]

Great version! 5 X 5. . .

[Angeliqueinparis]

Good voice, wrong song.

[flamavana]

dumbass its the right song. dunno what ur thinking of, but this is "I shot the sherrif"

[Vallandre2000]

He/She meant that teh song is not the right one for his voice.

[ajman3742]

NOTHING LIKE BOB MARLEY

[burajirujin07]

im in love with JASON CASTRO!!

[falloutpistol]

haha can't beat bob :D

[eliteairsofting]

he sounds dumb withoutt the accent haha

[jaksonlijdsb]

At least he has the same hairdo, but he's nothing without the accent. For this song at least.

[mrc926]

I absolutely love this performer, plain & simple.I can listen to him a lot. get tired of others.

[zuluclegg]

i like almost everything he sings, but for this one I would nicely say that dreadlocks are not enough...

[elflotador]

nice musik no feeling on the singer

just smily smily

[ponstonxx]

good performance.. i dont know why he was voted out of the competition.. i really liked this performance.. nice little bob marley stuff.

[KEGGAE45]

Wow... Man maybe if he smoke some herb before he got on stage maybe he would be better. I doubt it though

[CableLizard]

He tries to copy Bob M. he even tries to move like him on the stage but god dam him...LAME !

[castroega]

u kno wat...FUCK YOU!! jason is mor talented than u could evr evn fantasize to be!!

[KazukiriMishamiota]

....I actually didn't think it was that bad. Sure it "bastardized" the original, but I thought it was unique, regardless.

[alex9011]

too pop

[rastayogi10]

poor, he failed.......sorry >:(

[monkeyballs0001]

so the guitars there.......why?

[OSOPLANET]

you're people so right, THIS guy does not have a reggae voice. not only for havin' dreadloacks and a tight pants makes you an a reggae interpreter. this suck!

[canadaykid]

Jason knew his time on that show was short, I mean who among us didn't know that it was going to be a David/David showdown?? The fact that he chose Marley at all and the way he so obviously ruffled the judges delicate feathers made this a performance I liked. Jason is too nice of a person to just tell the judges and producers to flat out "stick it" so with this song choice, he got to do just that, keep his respectful attitude and stay true to himself. He made last season fun!!

[fixecul]

sorry..is good:)

[030terror]

heys okay but his voice is not cool for reggea sorry.

[wgChamlika]

excuse me, he doesn't have the voice for reggae songs.

[singers333]

Awesome performance, Jason is so unique

[ArgentOcs]

por favor q alguien le haga callar

[eagle2sky1]

he looks and sounds f n gay shaking his head like he gots bugs

[fixecul]

bad and toy

[carsock]

I've heard nails on a chalkboard that sounded better than this clown. His hair looks like strings of poop.

[1meanLhook]

heard all versions and they all stink to the heavens! this one gave me a headache....hate the voice, hate the band playing. sounds like tourist reggae! if you can't follow Bob's formula-don't do it!

[merrtasticboii]

Jason is simply amazing, no matter what you say. It's not the way he sings, it's just his voice. So flippin' amaaazing.

[91jiimmeehh]

Dont like it at all :<

[imperialcereal]

BAD.

[KEGGAE45]

He have dishonored my family and the Rastafarian Temple.

[48yob]

I cant believe the argument continues over this performance. 1)If Marley had heard this he would be sitting up and applauding in his grave. Jason' choosing this song and his using it as his sing out would have made Marley proud. 2) Eric Clapton turned it into just another pop song, the version everyone seems to know and be comparing Jasons version too. 3)Go listen to Bob Marley and the Wailers sing this before you draw any conclusions. If youre going to be a critic, educate yourself. PEACE

[iHypnotyzei]

this would have worked much better if the band played the bob marley version, not the eric clapton.

[elmoxo14]

i loved jason castro and i thought he was pretty cute too but he did a horrible job on the amazing song

[rasta8marley]

[foufoufa]

shut up all people he s a good singer but he has an accent

[harpbass4life]

he does not have an accent. he simply chose a song that no one but Marley and Clapton can touch.

[weloveukevinandnickj]

he's okay.. he just has some weird accent when he sings.

[milkman4eva]

THIS SUCKS!!!

[Organism12J]

my god, he slaughtered this song.. very poor

[CMOUAROX]

stop talking shit about jason, people. he's a great singer. america should be bowing down to him. he's the BEST and most REAL idol there ever was and will be.

[djday]

RAS TRENT

Dude massacring this song is about as enjoyable as a hot turd sandwich.

[buentaste]

This fucking guy suskss

[Deathrayfromheck]

Oh also you who bitch him post a video of you singing better than him and I might think your ready to sing Karakoe because no matter what you think trust me your not as good oh and how is this bad I liked it Jason is a much better singer you guys are sdaying he ruined Marley song here Marley and you will know famous singer with bad voice

[crazieazteca]

he fucked this song up so sad killed my high that fucker man!!!

[c141808]

he should be shot for the way he killed this song. he had no clue what he was singing about, he just picked the song because it "was Bob Marley..." he must be turning in his grave!

[singers333]

Jason knew after Paulagate they were gonna get rid of him, so he went out on his own terms! Love him, he always stayed true to himself!

[StreetLightMoon]

too pop. too fucking.. can't find the word here. stupid, Stupid, STUPID. hmh. i quess he's too young to understand what he was singing. and how. that sounded like he'd shot The Sheriff with a waterballoon.

[alienlivingform]

yeah man

[austindude17]

he's 21 you retarded idiot!

[Deathrayfromheck]

22 when he sang it not 21 remeber he had is birthday during birthday week also dude Street Light moon your 5 years younger than him and your voice will never be that good

[CatLizWheel]

Actually, that was his 21st birthday he had on the show. He was born in '87.

[chaldojulia]

"I was thinkin Bob Marley!"

ahahha Jason is the besttt :)

[Shantianne]

Can i ask u guys something,as we all know Bob Marley was the best and will always be a legend.But as for Jason did he sang the song out of tune,NO rite!!!! that was a freaking singing competition.he had allthe rite to sing or change the arrangement of the song al he wants.HE needed to be judge for his singing.He deserved tobe in the top 4.

[TonyDRuiz]

he didnt deserve to be in the top 4

not even the top 8

[osahju914]

yeah, after travelin thru, he slowly dwindled in performance. memory shouldve been his swan song...

[triton4127]

he suck

bob marley is the only one who cant sing this song fucking jason castro !

[Rajiro2007]

thats not what bob marley would say, dont act like if u where a follower mf Mr. Marley

[osahju914]

eric clapton can too...

[lemonysnicket234]

he looks drunk. What was he thinking butchering a Marley song like that. Geez...

[password]

the music SUCKS with his reggae styled singing - I h8 when non-musicians spout off about not getting this. (of course, lots love it, b/c they love Jason's voice). But it's clear the music doesn't go with his singing... it's need reggaed up!!!

I WAS THINKING BOB MARLEY!! :0) ha

[shard222]

lip sync more lol

[RHtonyflowCP]

wow this is shit!

[Lakupalkki]

Here is my opinnion:

I like this version, BUT i like Bob much better

[SexyMiki007]

is horrible kick the idiot!!

[Iceyrainbowskater33]

He totally murdered this song.

He sat in a table, sliced in a million pieces with a meat cleaver, and threw in the river.

Did anyone going on tour hear him sing 'Crazy'? He butchered that too.

>_>

[279joe]

he sucks

[JoeyArmstrongismine]

ur right u suck

[brok1492]

i think he actually did a good job with it. i mean no one is as perfect as the original, because well, they are the first. however its not to shabby. he's a good guy in real life, and deserves all the best. :)

[Learsn]

It's scary!

[dreezy2345]

wow way to butcher a great song. You totally shamed Marley there

[ldon12345]

i actually liked this version better than the bob marley one

[merkurius45]

your stupid NO ONE can beat bob marley espacially not this guy

[ldon12345]

im not stupid it's just my opinion

[nouemane]

bob marley he was sing about his history with great and nice voice of Reggae. that's is bad voice and so young . the song of BOB MARLEY NO ONE CAN SING IT LIKE HIM .

[tyler8351]

wow he needs 2 let bob sing it not him he sux ass

[Tag123werd]

I have a question for hollywoodharo...Dude..if you hate Jason Catro why are you visiting his site?? Seems you would not waste your time viewing someone you HATE with an exclamation mark! Unless you just enjoy a good "whine", every now and then. Go somewhere else and hate dude. People like you never cease to amaze me. Your life must be sad if you have to seek out things that you hate, just to voice your opinion on them..Jason Castro is the ultimate optimist, and his fans love him.

[papajohn3289]

This was an appallingly horrible choice. Biggest joke of a choice in all of American Idol Top 12 history. Wouldn't have got him past the auditions.

[hollywoodharo]

this is terrible

this kid needs to get rid of his gay dreads

wow this is insulting to all the great song bob marley has ever created

i HATE jason castro!!!!

[Vegan007]

It wasn't as bad as Simon made it. He just breathed into the mic really badly but he was alright. Not my fav but eh.

[RussField]

Marley didnt walk, he would stride. I observed his presence & humanity relating to a sensibility that ackowledged his mission. Like the old folks say, he did not tarry. He had a purpose like no one I have ever seen before or since. Hence the "I was thinkin' Bob Marley". Marley would be proud to know the backstory, why he sang this. The key message of the song is 'I shot wickedness', Jason did just that. He was a kick up AIs pathetic ass. The vibe was spot on. One of my favorite performances.

[themollyandbeccashow]

he looks high...but dosent he always..?? think about that

[pingusworld]

Look at his videos of when he was around 7 years old- he's goofy or as you put it 'high' in those too. Think about that.

[JStevens988]

LOL!!! Look at all these parrots. THINK FOR YOURSELVES!

This was ****ing awesome. If there's anyone on this cheesy show Bob would want singing his songs, it's Castro. He has SOUL. & has an understanding of music and life like no other. He was a breath of fresh air on such a lame show.

[sannesej]

I like this guy.

[omsivoham]

what the f is this!?????? some kind of back street boy wannabe bob marley with a lame voice!!

[Saamii1006]

he's rocking the dreads, yo

[jamieking005]

omfg its like he is trying to make a bad remix of the song.. he is the exact person that i would not want to do a remake of "I Shot The Sheriff" i give that performance a -92 on a 1-10 scale. YOU SUCK JASON, STICK TO BARBIES

[rainingoasis124]

Bob Marley was probably crying in his grave.His lift up hit was disgraced by a poor imitation.Castro+mARLEY=NO!!! Dreads+Dreads=ONLY SAME TING!

[Tomacco987]

he does not fit in dreadlocks at all.....

[zion715]

He Did The Song No Justice. Pleasssssse Stop!!!

[xMakaveli]

what a goddamn disgrace.

poor bob marley..

[ezefan1991]

lol he makes me like the song actually. its fun when he sings it

[proqrator]

WTF?

[fazcuna]

I didn't like his style

[stroberimanisrasanya]

he sucks

[ldon12345]

i personally liked it. if you listen to the version of bob marley, i like this one better

[actorpd]

I used to hate him and then I noticed something-- he's really good!!!

[catjason2326]

Jason makes every song His!!
