Jason Castro Is Finally Allowed To Play Up The Fact That He Has Dreadlocks

Spoilers for tonight’s American Idol, where the hopefuls are taking on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s 500 Songs That Shaped Rock, are starting to make their way out of Fox’s fortress. Here’s the first one: “Jason’s a man on a mission. With one arm that fires, authorities fall, but their counterparts are spared. With the other arm, he jingles his tympan all the way to victory.” MJ’s Big Blog has translated the gibberish, and it’s after the jump–but first, a spoiler for the spoiler: So, anyone want to guess how Randy Jackson is going to react to a Bob Dylan song on American Idol?

Yeah, apparently that bit of cryptic prose means that Jason is going to sing “I Shot The Sheriff” (!) and “Mr. Tambourine Man,” which should at the very least pair well with his dorm-room vibe. (He’ll probably do the Byrds’ interpretation of the song–but I’m still bummed that he won’t be performing “September Gurls,” ah well.) Meanwhile, murmurings about what David Cook might sing surfaced last night at the Television Without Pity boards and while the original poster’s since deleted her speculative words, someone allowed them to live on via blockquoting:

I do happen to know the songs David C. is singing tomorrow (neither of them too outlandish, btw, one more than the other perhaps), and I don’t think we will be getting any lackluster performances from him (and the fangirls are gonna go nuts for one in particular).

Hmm, the fangirls going nuts for one, eh? I hope that isn’t code for “David grunges up Marvin Gaye,” because that would be the worst thing ever. Or at least the second-worst-thing ever after David Archuleta taking on the “message” of “What’s Going On.”
