Sorry, Jason Castro. Your Care Bear stare, P.O.D.-lite dreads, creepy Donny Osmond smile, paper-thin voice and lido-deck steez were simply not enough to keep you in the running to be America’s Next Karaoke Idol. Your leaving means David Archuleta’s odds of winning just went from probable to eye-rollingly obvious. Archuleta — and his fleet of Blythe-like dolls — is, after all, the Obama of this year’s Idol.

But, you don’t have to take my word for it. Watch Jim Cantiello’s 60-second take of last night’s American Idol ep.
