That Leming kid bugged me. At least Castro managed to be chill about everything.

The rest of Idol will surely be stale, but now I can watch simply for its awfulness.

@whoneedslight: Didn't you think when those doors opened to reveal the guitarist for the solo, "Oh, WOW. Are Steely Dan twisted enough to take this gig? At the very least, will we see Jeff 'Skunk' Baxter and his magic plexiglass guitar?"

But, no. It was just some dude.

How has no one commented on the unbelievably bad group song, Reeling in the Years?

Ummmm, the guitar solo? Hello?

i agree with your thoughts on j castro maura. he should be opening for jack johnson sometime in the near future. he was my favorite of the bunch b/c he didn’t take the hoopla too seriously and actually played some good tunes. i’d listen to him play folk-rock covers and originals if given the chance.

@Varina: Can you imagine Josiah and Brooke in a bottom two on results night? Kleenex would've to become an official sponsor of the show!

It was sad that last night made me long for the days of Bo Bice.
/enjoyed his subtle "some of these guys suck on guitar" slam.

I don't think Josiah could have made it this far because I think the inevitable tantrum/breakdown would have taken him out.

I never expected Castro to make it this far and I'm glad he did because it was nice to see a different sort of contestant (esp. a different male contestant) than we are used to.

I’ve never seen anybody so happy to be eliminated.

Gotta shout out Anthony's tribute to Castro from a couple weeks ago, which I still think is hysterical: [idolator.com]
