Soon after being voted off American Idol, Jason Castro spoke with Entertainment Weekly. Here are highlights from the interview:

So, set the record straight. You weren't sabotaging yourself? You didn't want to go home?
I did not want to go home. But at the same time, now that it happened, I'm kind of glad. It all worked out like it was supposed to. I was reaching the point where I couldn't do it anymore. I wasn't able to keep up and it all caught up with me.

Let's talk about Tuesday night. When Simon said no one should ever cover ''I Shot the Sheriff,'' did you think of reminding him that Eric Clapton did a great cover of the song?
You know, sometimes he says things that are obviously wrong. But no, I wouldn't have said that to him. My mom taught me never to make a person look wrong. I am just respectful. It's my place to sing a song and his place to judge.

A dreadful performance (get it?!?) spelled the end of Jason Castro on season seven of American Idol.

After being told to "pack a suitcase" by Simon Cowell after his rendition of "I Shot the Sheriff" on Tuesday night, Castro was officially eliminated last night. It came as no surprise.

When asked what happened with his final two performances, Castro said:

"It’s just getting tough for me. I think my inexperience is coming in. This week I tried to pick two [songs] I knew and even that, I screwed it up."

We wish Jason the best. He always seemed like a nice, humble, talented young man.

We're big fans of Jason Castro.

So the following comparison is by no means a slight to this American Idol finalist.

But doesn't he closely resemble the late ukulele-playing pop singer, Tiny Tim?
