Those lucky dogs that got stuck in coach with him!!!!

Awww poor Jason what a sweetheart he is! A true show of charcter is displayed through adversities, even in this small trial. Love you Jason Castro...please make your wonderful music soon! I can hardly wait.

It is wonderful to have you confirm what so many of us believe about Jason; that he is an incredibly nice person. His attitude towards life is one that I admire and strive for even though I am thirty years older than him.

The more I hear about him and how he handles things, I like him even more.

His parents did a great job raising him. They should be proud of him.

We Love you Jason!

That was nice to read. Thanks. Jason makes us proud to be his fans.

Every story I hear about Jason Castro just confirms my beliefs about him. He is a talented artist as well as a genuine and respectable human being. What a kind and sweet young man he is. I expect great things from him in the future - and I can't wait!!!

Thank you. I wish everyone could see how incredibly nice he truly is. And of course, talented to boot.

Could this guy be any nicer?
How many people do you know that would not be scowling and grumbling after this?

AI WERE FOOLS-they tried to destroy one of the most refreshing original contestants that AI ever had on stage

JASON is unique, talented, classy, humble-the more I read and see of him this week, the more I see a fantastic person--that has a very caring heart. PLUS he is georgous--does he ever take a bad photo?

I can not wait for his cd--he blow me away on AI--I love his original songs SO FAST and SOMEDAY.

Jason Castro is a class act!

Jason is a nice boy even though he practices the religion of the Rastafarians. He is very relaxed due to the very powerful BC hydroponic he consumes in his rituals. 4:20 Jake!

Its good to hear this other side of the story to contradict what other gossip site says, specifically TMZ! Thank you for sharing this! jason Castro is a man of principles, his mother raised him well!

I'll bet Simon stole all the blankets on that flight, that b*startd!

he's a good role model.

Thank you for telling it like it is, without adding rumor and speculation just to get more readership. He truly is a talented, fine young man, with thousands of fans who love him.

Bullshit.

Here's another 50 yr old mother who loves Jason. I can't wait for his first CD. The guy is amazing. Not only is he super talented, he is a great guy, sweet, smart and respectful.

Having faith makes the impossible possible and the unbelievable believable. Keep living the dream, Jason.

I think this kid deserves all the kindness anyone can give him. He's a fine singer, and a finer man.

FAGGOTS are always "SWEET"!!
That's the main reason why we call them FAGGOTS!!

What a sweetie pie. Idol judges are not really good judges.

Yep!!!!! We could all learn something from our #1 Dreadhead!!

9:41 PM: Gerard....If there is such a thing as 'a look' that Faggots have, then I think U R right, that he is ONE. Most fags are somewhat sweet. BTW, if ever unbraided all those snakes on this head, a bushel basket could not contain all that hair.

He's not bright enough to understand, and therefore be upset, about his flights.

Nah, he's bright enough...1340 on his SATs I heard. Sounds pretty bright to me.

He's a great singer...and MAN enough to take the critcism of him with humor and dignity.

Unlike certain other contestants who think they're TMTH. WHATEVAH!

You forgot to add that when he finally got OFF the plane in LA paparazzi were there hounding him and he was NICE to them, too! Jason Castro is the definition of CLASS and is a true ROLE MODEL! IMO, that is an AMERICAN IDOL!

Jason's a darling guy. More celebrities need to take a lesson from him!
When he sings it's all about love and happiness...seems to be the way he lives his life, too.

He is an outstanding guy and artist. Cannot wait for his first CD.

It seems that Jason either touches the heart and soul, as in those of us who "get" him, or touches a raw,exposed nerve as in those who can't wait to hurl mud at him because the pain from his breath of fresh air is unbearable... so go ahead haters and spew forth your venom... it makes no difference to him or to us who know the truth...

You said it Becky! Jason is a wonderfull breath of fresh air that makes me proud to be in the same generation as him...goes to show that all of us kids born in the 80's are not losers and spoiled brats. To the people that feel the need to hate constantly someday you will pay for you hatred....karma is a bitch!

Great person who has a great career ahead of him. By the way, he has a serious girlfriend so the above comments about his "orientation" are 100% false.

Okay - you jokesters posting here -- it's very clear you find Jason interesting - you even stopped what you were doing to read and comment. Good or bad - buzz is buzz.

Everyone should take Jason as the example to live up to. It never helps anything to get all bent out of shape over stuff you can't control and it just makes everyone even more miserable. Good for Jason for showing his good character is the times of lifes annoyances! He once again proves he is a great guy. He can sing like an angel too!

And not ONCE did Simon say he reminded him of cute puppies - he's slipping ... Can't get any sweeter than Jason Castro!

As expected of Jason! He's a total sweetheart.

This would not surprise his fans that know him and adore him. Stay true to yourself Jason and continue to play by your own rules...Keep thinking Bob Marley YEA!!!!

Just another example of Jason's sweet spirit and loving attitude. Oh if only more of us could approach life this way.
Love him and can't wait for his CD!

That's our Jason! Don't you wish YOU were a Dreadhead, too??

Jason continuously makes me proud to be a fan of his.

Just aa an aside.....what is it with some of the people here who make insulting, stupid comments? I'd suggest you all take a good look at yourselves.Peace.

Thanks for writing this! That's exactly why we all love Jason Castro and I hope others will read this and discover what a great guy he really is!

Jason is such a cool guy. What a wonderful role model he is. Not only nice but loaded with talent. Can't wait for his CD!!!

Thank you so much for sharing this. Jason fans aren't surprised at all but its nice to put the word out, he's a great guy. He has a lot of fans just waiting for his first CD.

So cool to hear this. Jason's such a talented and gorgeous guy - makes it even more amazing that he's also such a genuinely nice guy.

Jason is American idols first true class act. we love you!

Thanks for your report.

He's my behavioural role model. When I get in a tight jam or stressed I think of Jason, especially after hearing your report. Can hardly wait until I get my iPod so then I'll never get stressed.

I am very proud to be a Jason fan. The guy is so humble and a breath of fresh air. His parents did a remarkable job raising him and I can only pray that my son grows up to be like Jason.

I always knew Jason was a total gentleman, so THANK YOU for proving me right yet again.
Not many people would handle this the way he did - with grace and patience.
Jason has absolutely no ego whatsoever, and clearly has not let being on Idol inflate his sense of self-worth.
To the haters who are posting negative comments - maybe you ought to take a good look at yourselves and strive to be more like Jason.

Thanks for writing a positive (and true) account of this wonderful young artist. Jason Castro has handled himself with such class and grace throughout his Idol experience...he's a great role model and a charming, sweet guy. I'm a fan of his music and him for life! He truly makes me strive to be a better person.

what a sweet soul.
looks like i picked the right idol this year :-) Behind you 110% Jason!

What a lovely, patient young man. Thanks for the article.

Thank you so much for you nice heart warming story. It is so refreshing to read something nice these days, compared to all the negative sarcasm that seems to be so popular with the media these days!
Kudos to you for a short, but well written article. I hope to read more from you in the future.

Jason Castro has the "IT" factor...talented, gorgeous, funny and seems like a genuinely nice person. Thanks for the article on a well-behaved star. It's a nice change from reading about the
"pop train wrecks"! Wish more celebrities could be like Jason..a positive role model!

I wish Sue Facter would tell EVERYONE about this!!!!! What an awesome story! People need to hear about a young celebrity doing the right thing for once!

Thank you for writing about the Jason we all love and admire. Wish we could all be more like him...what a wonderful world it would be.

Jason is such a great role model because he walks the walks. He's very real and genuine. I see much greatness in his future.

Jason is a great guy. Even he is now sort of a celebrity, but he never act like he is very special than anyone else. i love this kind of person. GREAT GUY, that is all i can say!!!!!

Jason's beautiful inside and out... The longer he's a celebrity, the more people are going to see this simple undeniable fact.

We love you Jason! You make us feel proud and happy every single day. You're amazing!! Just waiting for your CD to drop!

Jason is the real American Idol. A class act and a very talented artist. Go Jason! I can't wait to buy your first CD.

Talent, beaufiful voice,looks, and above all class and good manners! This is a winning combination. For all your fans you are our American Idol!

America needs more beautiful souls like Jason Castro! He is such a wonderful person and soooo very talented as well!

All I can say is that you can't judge a book by its cover. When I saw Jason for the 1st time, I was taken back by the dreads but the moment I heard him strum Daydreaming Boy, I was hooked. I can only hope that my teenage daughters grow into such respectful adults as young Jason...his parents should be proud!! Jason has more class in his young years, than most adults twice (or more) his age. I'll be spending my money to support him because he's proven to me that hes a respectful and loving man. (I refuse to watch or listen to anything with Paris, Lindsay or Brittany...I'm not contributing to their downfall.

Thanks so much!

Much props to his parents for raising such a remarkable young man and kudos to Jason for remembering and using the lessons he was taught.

He needs to cut that hair... or wash it!!!
