Idol worship

Oh jeez. This week was really rough.
Jason Castro, my favorite now that Michael Johns was gone, decided to sing 2 of the most horrendous songs EVER and went home. Shoot, I was ready to help him pack after hearing he'd chosen BOB FRACKIN MARLEY as his first song. WTF?!?!? There are 2 music genres I really hate--reggae and jazz. There are another few I really dislike--folk, Jimmy Buffet, James Taylor and classic rock.
ANYWAY, Jason Castro was really workin my nerve singing that "I shot the sherrif" B.S. I mean really! How much did he want to allienate the little girls that think he's cute? A song about shooting a law officer? Scary! Not only that, anyone who hears the song gets an instant contact high. I'm sorry but it was just too obvious: the dreadlocked hippie singing Bob Marley? I can smell the patchouli from here!
THEN, he follows that up with a BOB DYLAN tune???? One that he can't even remember all the words for?? BORING! Yuck! No wonder the little girls are letting Archuleta slide into the finals. He sings about love and flowers and looks longingly into the camera. Mumbling about "Mr. Tambourine Man" doesn't cut it with the tweens, my friend. Back to Texas with ye. He was doing so well for a while there!!! So sad.

I really don't care who wins anymore. I suspect it will be the "rocker" with a gut--David Cook, but I don't care.
