Forgive me for not finishing something I started.  I think like three weeks ago I introduced the Idol throwback, but haven’t done one since.  Basically, I choose a wacky ass contestant from a previous season, make some fun, and give you an update on what’s going on in their loser like lives.

Since there’s some news on Jason Castro, season 7 contestant, and I thought it a good idea to dub him the Idol throwback of this week.

You all remember this bitch.  He was basically a Z-list version of Bob Marley and showed up stoned to every God damn performance.  That or his face and glare had permanent dumb look.  I could probably go with the latter, but by this picture we know bitch likes the Mary J.  But guess what? Turns out Castro’s not your typical Idol loser! A little background on the mo, he’s Colombian, lives in Texas, scored a 1340 out of 1600 on his SAT, was a junior majoring in Construction Science at Texas A&M University on a full academic scholarship when he auditioned for Idol, was the love interest of Cheyenne Kimball on her MTV reality show, Cheyenne, and was featured in her music video Hanging On.  He was also the first Idol contestant to play an instrument on stage.  Thank you for making every Idol contestant from then on in believe they can do it, too! MOST FUCKING CAN’T!!!

Bitch got the boot on Idol on May 7, 2008 and ended up in fourth place.  He also somehow got his rendition of the song Hallelujah to number one on the iTunes singles chart.  Bitch is the first Idol to bump another artist’s single to the iTunes Top 10 or to the Billboard Chart.  He did when he sang Israel Kamakawiwo’ole’s Over the Rainbow.  As for recent, which is why I’m writing this shit, Castro got a nice record deal with Atlantic Records.  His debut album is scheduled for a summer release and is working with songwriter, producer, and Idol judge HUNCHIE! aka Kara DioGuardi.  Not too bad for an Idol stoner!
