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.
